hmm..well we don't have much time left for this match..so Michael, do you fancy chasing 161 in 20 overs? you'll play the only inning (even if you bat first) and try to achieve this target.
If not then I'll have to award the points to you..let us know ASAP.

btw guys pl. try to let others know if you have any problem..the matches are just 20. ov each so don't take that much time. I hope rest of the matches go smooth and finish on time.

Well ok I will try to achieve that target and I will email you the final scorecard and summary sheet. It should be with you within a day.

Ok I have completed the match and I have ended up chasing down the target of 161. I made this target early in the last over and so I could copy the summary sheet I played out the rest of the over and thats why the score is 168.

Chasing that score did not start out to well with me in trouble at 4/36 but Michael Bevan came to the rescue with a great match winning 75 not out. Also Brad Hogg's innings of 21 off 11 helped with get within reach of the required run-rate in the final overs.

I never thought I would of made this target until after Brad Hogg's quick scoring. After some big overs in the end I only required around 6 an over for the last few and after that things were not too difficult.

By the way I have included the score card of this match as proof of the victory and to show how this victory came together.

Well I found this an exciting match for me and a tight victory and I hope that the rest of the competition is just as good.

I have emailed you the summary sheet and the scorecard Shailesh by the way.

good match! very close finish..India paid the price for not batting through their 20 overs. But still anything can happen in this group..England v Australia next..

Yes that was a good close game.

This group is going down to the last match now - unlike the other group eh Shailesh ::
