[RUDI]

Great knock by Anderson, pity he couldn't get his ton. Go same again please.
@Kane Dav

 

[Aravind.]

I don't have any words to say after seeing that performance. The match winners Gayle, Raina, Faf , Yusuf all failed, can't believe it.
Bowlers tried hard, but it's a too low target even for our bowlers.
We are going with same team which won us many matches, but with few changes.
Gayle needs to fire like IPL finals & continue his form in order to get into the finals.
