Post Line-ups HKS6 Season 1 - Top 5 - R3 Matches Ends! Competition Gets Tougher

[Pinch hitter]

league is running in full force... i don't mind pace of the league, i really enjoying this league

 

[Samuels]

Whoa! The bowlers got some spanking there. It was a surprise to our premier T20 bowler going for 23 in an over while our most experienced player even gone past him. Credit to the batters the way we came back. Would have loved to finish over the line but that was not to be. Sean Ervine can play a lot better than that.

Everything is fine except for two things ask a mod to transfer 2nd and 3rd post to you and than put the Stats , Fixtures and Points Table there and use some pictures

 

[Sulaiman7]

I agree with Umair there . The pace is just great .

 

[Sulaiman7]

And so is the presentation .

 

[VC the slogger]

So we have a bye. Rooting for the Lankans this round. Go on and knock those Zimbabweans out of the tournament so that we can qualify.

 

[Samuels]

We have better hitters in the side than Lankans so we might end up winning without any surprise.

 

[Sami Kumar]

We have better hitters in the side than Lankans so we might end up winning without any surprise.

Yeah, No surprise Zimbabwe can be big threat, but we'll try not to dissapoint the Irish.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Aussie Caper claiming an impressive victory by 26 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Aussie Caper and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Aussie Caper proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory. MATCH NOTES ----------- Aussie Caper 77/3 5 overs Bangladesh Knights 51/5 5 overs

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Indian Saintz claiming an impressive victory by 5 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Indian Saintz and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Indian Saintz proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory. MATCH NOTES ----------- New Zealand Crusaders 56/1 5 overs Indian Saintz 57/1 4.4 overs

	The new batsman is Kieron Pollard.
	The new bowler is Gulbodin Naib.
2.1	Gulbodin Naib to Chris Gayle, SIX, 123.71kph, That one goes on straight. Well-timed cover drive there. That has been caught in the crowd! Six
2.2	Gulbodin Naib to Chris Gayle, SIX, 140.00kph, G Naib hits a short length outside off. That sped away like a tracer bullet. Fantastic cover drive. Fielder is underneath it but the ball sails over his head. SIX

Three in a row! This is some quality batting from C Gayle.
2.4	Gulbodin Naib to Chris Gayle, dot, 126.53kph, This one is military medium from G Naib. C Gayle plays it gently through the leg side. Short fine leg is quick to cut off the single

2.6	Gulbodin Naib to Chris Gayle, 1b, 134.49kph, G Naib puts his back into this delivery and he hits a good length on middle. C Gayle misses it completely. One more

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Afghan Warriors will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. Stunning upset and a fantastic result for Afghan Warriors! They came into the game as underdogs but showed plenty of grit and determination to fell the more favoured West Indian Hawks.
