Another nerve wrecking match that. Lived upto the expectation of being a run fest. Fantastic partnership between Indian greats Rahul and Sachin (146 (131)) to put us on track but Bevan and Sanga failed to accelerate in the end overs which saw us 15-20 runs short than what we should have achieved. This almost cost us the game. Full credit to Ryan ten who made the match out of nowhere for his team by hitting 27 runs in the last 3 overs.

All in all, a well fought contest but glad to finish on the right side of the winning margin.

Ah, we were lucky there, I feel. But, as Fenil said, it's good to end on the right side of the things. I'd love to see a more comprehensive win next time though.

Just wasn't our day. Well played team, especially Tendo. Din't expect Malinga to that expensive. A good performance, but PPs outclassed us.
