Mitchell Starc revenged after Kane Williamson smashed him for two boundaries in the same over that he was being bowled. The batsman was well settled and could recover his team and lead to a big total if he had continued to bat well. But, unfortunately his complete knock didn't come on the day which mattered most to his team.

Like New Zealand did, Australian top order too had a tough time getting runs after the start of the innings. This was quite a slow start by Aussie's standard.
Guess, there is desert storm...

New Zealand innings: 10/225 (49.3/50 overs), Run rate: 4.54
Australia innings: 1/22 (10/50 overs), Run rate: 2.2


The play is stopped due to the storm interruption. The full second innings summary and full match presentation will be followed soon. Until then, keep guessing the winner.

Mitchell Starc revenged after Kane Williamson smashed him for two boundaries in the same over that he was being bowled. The batsman was well settled and could recover his team and lead to a big total if he had continued to bat well. But, unfortunately his complete knock didn't come on the day which mattered most to his team.

Like New Zealand did, Australian top order too had a tough time getting runs after the start of the innings. This was quite a slow start by Aussie's standard.
Guess, there was a desert storm in Dubai...

New Zealand innings: 10/225 (49.3/50 overs), Run rate: 4.54
Australia innings: 1/22 (10/50 overs), Run rate: 2.2


The play was stopped about 20 minutes, due to the storm interruption.

Match officials walked back to the pitch as they confirmed that game could be resumed after that small desert storm passed.
Australia required 204 more runs from 40.0 overs.

Congratulations SAM. and Saroj Padhy on winning the league!
 
Great batting by Steven Smith.
Another league win for me.
And thanks for the vcash.

Had a feeling Australia got the edge on us. Replay of the actual 2015 Cricket World Cup Final. Anyways, great tournament all-round.
 
Congrats to winners and thanks to whoever participated for making this small attempt of mine successful.

Overall tournament stats shall be posted soon.[DOUBLEPOST=1452418995][/DOUBLEPOST]
@BowringFC I didn't get the vcash for the final.
I haven't yet sent that. Just finished some stuffs, you'll get your cash shortly.

He has 1,341,839,609 Vcash.
He wouldn't mind sending 10m to both of us :p
I wouldn't mind but I won't do either.;)

There's some theory behind why I decided to split vCash money between co-managers. No time to tell, anyways.
 
Well it was a nice league :) looking forward to S2
