Emerald Cricket League 2024

Not our day, but really enjoyed this league, although we lost few matches by one or two runs and the last two matches were heavy defeats. Thanks for the great league @Paranoid Kendroid all the best to the finalists.

Really, really tough decision to leave out Prabath Jayasuriya for Matheesha Pathirana, but I did not want to enter this final with only two frontline pacers. Equally tough to leave out Naseem for Adam Zampa, but I'd imagine with Cummins and Bumrah being the obvious choices ahead of Naseem, I'd strengthen my spin attack and play Zampa, who typically tends to do well in big games.

I'd back our boys to fight tooth and nail at the very least.

Not an ideal scenario for Basnahira as Bumrah isn't a proficient strike rotater.
They have only themselves to blame for being here.

A bombastic finish is looking unlikely but Maxwell needs to find more of such overs.
Kandy is losing the plot towards the end of the innings.

TARGET - KANDY NEED 261 RUNS FROM 50.0 OVERS @ 5.22 RUNS PER OVER


340981.jpg
glenn-maxwell-cover-1606986755.jpg

That unbeaten 70-run 8th wicket stand for Basnahira has put the match at an even position for both the teams.

Basnahira started on the wrong foot with the early wicket of Avishka.
Kusal Perera played well for 69 and had 50-run partnerships with Kamindu and Chandimal.

Wanindu Hasaranga was the stand-out performer from both the sides. His legspin dominated the middle-overs,
ending with a fifer on the biggest occassion. Phillips and Kumara got solitary scalps.

The Dundees were in big danger at 153/6. Glenn Maxwell was in a situation against the odds
and you know what the means. Unbeaten 80 runs which included 8 fours and 3 sixes.

Kandy bat deep so Basnahira will need to be on top of their game. An exciting contest remains...
