Really like this match presentation. Very simple and very neat. Never been a big fan of fancy stuff, this looks elegant.

Thanks. I feel fancy things will vanish the main focus of a match(presentation), that is scorecards and some highlighting performances. I wanted to make it simple, so that people could read more about star performances or highlights you can say.

Sure?

Giving the lower-order guys some extra batting practice by placing them higher up. It's just a warm-up after all.

Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim were responsible for a partnership that could lead their side to win as they managed to add only 70(80) joint runs between them which wasn't a complete effort as target was short by 21 more runs.

Ravichandran Ashwin's performance earned him yet another man of the match. He struck through Bangladesh's batting lineup to have some earlier wickets and removed Mahmudullah at important time who was seemingly very dangerous.

Michael Clarke and Glenn Maxwell's heavy hammering in death was bitter for Pakistan's bowlers. The joint runs between these two batsmen resulted into a deadly 123 runs partnership off just 61 balls.

Haris Sohail and Misbah-ul-Haq constituted an outstanding partnership of 231 runs off 189 balls. Yet, their efforts were incomplete to seal a win as their side could manage to score 346 runs. The losing margin was about 7 runs only.

Nathan Lyon removed both the ton scorers, which first restricted the threatening partnership between those two batsmen with the fall of Sohail. Later he restricted Pakistan's winning chances by dismissing Misbah-ul-Haq, who was very well settled; if not so, perhaps he could not have managed to swipe the victory from Pakistan's fist.

Good win, and great performance that we definitely needed after a shock loss to Bangladesh. Hats off to the Skip, Kane, Danny, McClenaghan, and Tim in producing quality performances.

 

[VC the slogger]

That was actually a pretty good effort from our second XI.

Unfortunate for jinx to miss out his century. Great bowing from Ashwin. Overall, good performance.

 

[Pinch hitter]

our batting is decent... if we also bowled well, may be we bring upset in the tournament...
