The Victoria Bushrangers started really well with both, captain, Hashim Amla (69) and Usman Khawaja making fifties. Their partnership was finally broken at 137 by Angelo Mathews. Still, Khawaja looked well set for a hundred. But it was not to be, as he was given out on 98. After his wicket, no one really stuck in as Victoria were bowled out for 283 in the first innings of the First Melbourne Derby.

Victoria Bushrangers seem to like the score of 283 as they were once again bowled out at that score. The innings was nothing different from the first one. It started with Hashim Amla and Usman Khawaja starting the innings with a solid partnership, and then the rest of the team contributing really less. The Bushrangers would have suffered an innings defeat if it were not for a 59 by Sean Williams.

Mohommad Amir was the pick of the bowlers taking 5 scalps, including the wicket of Hashim Amla.

Melbourne Thunder need 85 runs to win.

That was an amazing start for us. Wagner was amazing to get the 4 wickets and reduce them to below 300. Then everyone from our batting unit chipped in. Unfortunated for ABD to miss on century but very well played by our batsmen as we got a healthy lead. In the second innings, Amir got a fifer and made sure the lead was not out of hand. It was easy for Vijay on 2nd innings.

Very good team performance by us. Hopefully we continue like this.

Kane Williamson continued where he left off in the first innings as he scored 67 runs from just 62 balls, particularly taking a liking for Yasir Shah. Yasir had a day to forget as he was belted for 34 runs in just 5 overs at an economy of 6.80. Lahore reached the target with 8 wickets to spare. Shakib was awarded the man of the match for his all round performance.

Tom Latham (53) and Younus Khan (89) started from where they left off in the last innings as both of them made fifties. Although, Latham was soon sent back by captain Ashwin, Younis Khan came to the crease with a mission and stayed stuck at one end while wickets kept falling at the other. Finally, he found a stable partner in Adil Rashid (61) with whom he stitched a 123 run partnership for the 8th wicket. They were finally bowled out for 307 due to some great bowling from captain, Ravi Ashwin.

506 was no small target for the Multiply Titans. They started off horribly as David Warner fell once again to his arch rival, Trent Boult. Then, Martin Guptill (38) and Alaistar Cook (75) came together and stitched a 117 run partnership before Mitchell Marsh was finally able to send Cook back to the pavilion. Then, Ajinkya Rahane (72) gave some hope to the Titans, but wickets kept falling and they were eventually bundled out for 329 succumbing to a 176 run defeat. Trent Boult was the destroyer in chief as he took 4 wickets.

Tom Latham was awarded the man of the match for a match winning performance of 183 runs in the first innings and 51 in the second.

Good to see all the players contributing. I had picked some players with a plan of utilizing them accodding to my needs and it has worked well so far. Tom Latham is undoubtedly one of the best cricketers New Zealand has ever produced. Bowlers did a fine job of restricting them to low score below the actual target our team had set. As a result, we got a big lead on the wicket that had something for the bowlers than batsmen.

Kiwi show indeed. Hope to continue the momentum and give the similar kind of performances in the future games. :)

London Lions' batsmen performed really well as they proved that they were not completely dependent on Steven Smith. The two young all rounders, Dhananjaya de Silva (84) and Nasir Hossain (84) were great in their batting as they took the total to 463 with help from Stiaan Van Zyl (69) as well.

NAILBITER! KKR needed 418 runs to win, and they scored 414 out of them. Virat Kohli was not yet done with his batting. He came out and went for the target making 175 from 169 balls. He, along with Lokesh Rahul (90) , stitched a 152 run partnership for the 4th wicket. Then, a collapse started and KKR were reduced to 331/7. Then, their pace spearheads, Broad and Starc came together to make a 67 run partnership when Starc was sent back by Dilruwan Perera. Even after that, the thrill continued as Broad took the team to 406 when he was sent back by Dhananjaya de Silva of all bowlers. Mustafizur came and played like a true tailender and slashed at every ball, and he did well, scoring 2 boundaries. KKR only need 3 when Imran Khan finally trapped Tabraiz Shamsi in front and completed a great victory. Imran Khan and Dilruwan Perera both took 4 wickets each.

Virat Kohli deserved to win more than just the Man of the Match award. His contributions of 203 and 175 in both the innings were just superhuman. Just 3 more runs did he need to win it.

Round 2

Victoria Bushrangers v T&T Red Steel at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne

London Lions v Multiply Titans at Lords' Stadium, London
Lahore Qalandars v Kolkata Knight Riders at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Melbourne Thunder v Royal Challengers Bangalore at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne

Line Up Rules
You must have a wicket-keeper and at least 4 bowling options.
Your captain (as said at the time on the drafts) cannot be dropeed.
All players must play at least 1 match before playoffs.
Home teams also have to choose from the pitches available at their respective grounds.
Minimum of 4 bronze players must play in the lineup
Minimum of 2 pacers must play in the lineup.
Melbourne Cricket Ground :- Flat / Hard / Sporting
Docklands Stadium :- Flat / Dusty / Sporting / Hard
Lords' :- Flat / Sporting / Hard
Gaddafi Stadium :- Green / Hard / Sporting

Flat pitches are a heaven for batsmen and nightmare for bowlers (especially spinners).
Hard pitches are beneficial for faster bowlers who hit the deck hard. Batsmen who can play the short ball well are also benefitted.
Sporting pitches are a complete average of all the pitch types.
Dusty pitches are good for batsmen who can play spin well as well as for spinners who can turn the ball well.
Green pitches are a fast bowler's heaven. Great swing and seam is available to the pacers.
Dry pitches are rank turners and are a batsman's nightmare. All spinners work well here.
