Manchester Dividend Innings - Target 142 to win from 20 overs at a required run rate of 7.10.
The second innings begins now
0.1 Vince van der Bijl to Don Tallon, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, the batsmen scamper through for the single! (1)
0.2 Vince van der Bijl to KBC, Sloppy fielding, the batsmen were content with one but end up getting two. (2)
0.3 Vince van der Bijl to KBC, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs. (2)
0.4 Vince van der Bijl to KBC, Pah, that was a useless shot! I've seen better batters in my fridge! No run. (0)
0.5 Vince van der Bijl to KBC, He tried to go over the top but doesn't connect well. However, it's placed in the gap the ball trickles away for four. (4)
0.6 Vince van der Bijl to KBC, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavillion! 6 runs, excellent batting! (6)

3.3 Kapil Dev to Don Tallon, And the camera pans to show a hot chick in Row C. Rumours have it that she is either Zorax's date for the night, or an assasin out to kill him. I guess we'll find out one way or another by tommorrow...oh, right. No run. (0)

6.2 Abhas Gupta to Don Tallon, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run. (0)
6.3 Abhas Gupta to Don Tallon, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two. (2)
6.4 Abhas Gupta to Don Tallon, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky! (4)
6.5 Abhas Gupta to Don Tallon, That's a single. (1)
6.6 Abhas Gupta to KBC, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more. (2)

6.1 Abhas Gupta to KBC, Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run. (1)
6.2 Abhas Gupta to Don Tallon, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run. (0)
6.3 Abhas Gupta to Don Tallon, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two. (2)
6.4 Abhas Gupta to Don Tallon, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky! (4)
6.5 Abhas Gupta to Don Tallon, That's a single. (1)
6.6 Abhas Gupta to KBC, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more. (2)

WC & Kshitiz immediatly go to the jubilant KBC and shakes his hand on a job well done. Manchester Dividend are the champions of PPCL 3!The final scorecard for second innings was :
Score: 144
Wickets : 0
Overs : 18.3
As the players sunk in the atmosphere and settled down to the nitty gritty, Michael Holding was the host of the presentation ceromony calling firstly the players from the losing side Vatican Victors in batting order, followed by the winning team Manchester Dividend players in their respective batting order. After a short interview with both captains, Michael Holding gave permission for Zorax to collect the silver trophy which Zorax was struggling to lift :doh A shower of Red Bull followed by a huge scream from the Manchester Dividend players jumping about on the stage saw an end to PPCL 3 with Manchester Dividend being victorious.
After the celebrations was done, Mark Taylor caught up with both captains.
M.T: Well Kshitiz put into bat and posting 141, did you think that was a gettable score?
K.I: Well yeah with the depth and experience in our batting line-up I would have thought that at the mid-break interval we would be the side with the most confidence. Overall, I feel we were 15-25 runs short.
M.T: And in the second innings, the pressure seemed to have shifted onto your team. What factor did you think caused this?
K.I: I feel that poor utilization of the swinging ball aswell as some dropped catches released some of the pressure we were creating beforehand. However we shall review all our mistakes in detail and hope we come prepared for PPCL 4.
M.T: Alright hard luck mate and thanks for talking.
*Zorax arrives looking presumably drunk with 2 blonde babes around his sides*
M.T: Well Zorax it didnt take long for you to get some nice ladies eh
Zorax: Waaahhh...................shadawadaa.....gh.......a.......
M.T: I think we should call it a day here

I'd have a better press conference out later, but I'd just like to say Well done ManD, after that dominating performance you deserved the title, maybe though just a tiny bit more than us! 
I'm pretty happy the way we've come out, being the underdogs in this tournament. Well done team, and oh we'll be rejoicing at our 1000% profits!
