In their second go-round with the bat, the Violet Vanguards put together a decent score of 321 all out across 127.1 overs, clocking a run rate of 2.52. They showed a bit more fight this time, with a few of their players stepping up big time.
Aravind Gilly
@Aravind. was the main man, grinding out a solid 72 off 214 balls, smacking 15 boundaries along the way. He really dug in his heels. Then there's Virat Kohli and Ashutosh Kumar
@Ashutosh. who threw in some crucial runs, scoring 55 and 57, respectively. Kohli was especially punchy, hitting 12 fours and keeping things lively with a strike rate nearing 68.
The innings had its moments with some key partnerships. Gilly was in the thick of it, especially with an 81-run stand with Kohli that added some much-needed zest to their score. Towards the end, Ashutosh Kumar and Mitchell Starc put up a brave 51-run partnership, pushing their team's total over the 300 mark.
Bowling for the Crimson Commanders, Mahir Amir
@Na Maloom Afraad led the charge, snagging 3 for 91 off his 27 overs. Talha Hayat
@CerealKiller and Dwight Kurt Schrute
@mohsin7827 weren’t far behind, each taking a couple of wickets and keeping the Vanguards on their toes. And then there's Glen Maxwell, who, in just a handful of overs, managed to grab a wicket with an impressive economy.
The extras column added 11 runs to the Vanguards' tally, thanks to a mix of wides, no-balls, and leg-byes, showing that the Commanders' bowlers kept things pretty tight, all things considered.
All in all, the Vanguards' innings had a mix of grit and determination, with players stepping up when needed. Facing a solid bowling attack from the Commanders, they ended up setting a target of 184 that makes for an interesting setup as the match heads into its final stretch.

Alright, so here’s the scoop on the Commanders’ final chase against the Vanguards. They needed 184 to win and they pulled it off, finishing at 187/5 in 62.3 overs. The pace was decent, not too fast, not too slow, just right for a nail-biter.
The start was a bit wobbly, with Tee Vee
@Till Valhalla and Talha Hayat
@CerealKiller heading back to the pavilion quicker than they’d have liked. But then, Nidhish Adhikari
@Disharies stepped up big time, knocking a fab 86 with 17 fours – talk about putting on a show! Bruce Wayne
@TSPrathik was the cool cat, staying unbothered and not out at 42, adding some crucial runs to the tally. The duo’s partnership was the game-changer, delivering a solid 104 runs that pretty much clinched it for the Commanders.
The Vanguards’ bowlers were on it, trying to keep things tight, but the Commanders were just a bit too slick. Pat Cummins was stingy with the runs, but the Commanders found ways to keep the scoreboard ticking.
And those extras – 18 of them! In a tight match like this, every run counts, and those extras were like a little bonus for the Commanders.
Code:
Violet Vanguards 206 & 321
Crimson Commanders 344 & 187/5
Crimson Commanders won by 5 wickets
Man of the match: Bruce Wayne
What a rollercoaster! First up, the Vanguards set the stage with Kohli smashing a ton, getting to a total of 206. The Commanders hit back with 344, thanks to everyone chipping in. The Vanguards weren’t done, though, putting up 321 in the second go, setting the stage for a thrilling chase. The Commanders, needing 184, did it with 5 wickets in hand, all thanks to Adhikari's cracking innings and some solid support from the middle order. It was one heck of a match with plenty of twists, but in the end, the Commanders showed they had the nerve and the strategy to bag the win.
Match Outcome
- Crimson Commanders won the match, earning them 4 points for the victory.
Individual Performance Points
- Virat Kohli scored a century in the first innings, earning 1 point.
- No player took a five-wicket haul in an inning, so no points are awarded for this criterion.
- No player scored a double century, so no additional points are awarded for this criterion.
- No bowler took a ten-wicket match haul, so no additional points are awarded for this criterion.
Team Performance Bonus
- Crimson Commanders won by 5 wickets, but there's no specific point for this margin. The criteria mention innings victory and 200+ runs victory, neither of which apply here.
Consistency Bonus
- No player scored consecutive centuries or took five-wicket hauls in both innings, so no consistency bonus points are awarded.
Points Table
The series is all tied up 1-1. Despite winning the game, Vanguards have crucial 4 bonus points going into the 3rd match which would also be the series finale for test round. Crimson Commanders not only need to win, they also need bonus points or stop Vanguards from scoring any further bonus points.
