@Na Maloom Afraad i've edited my lineup.

 

[themusketeer]

ABD stole the show. Sad that he wasn't able to complete his century. Disappointed with bowling performance though, we should have restricted them on less after taking out their top order early.

Unchanged.

 

[zwarrior]

Wow. Colin de Grandhomme saved us. After seeing our bowling performance, I was bit disappointed. But the batting unit did the fine job.

We are on roll. Batsmen again won it for us but this time different set of players. Bowlers played their part and bowled brilliantly to keep them out of the game by taking wickets regularly.
