On Hold ༺IPL⋄PC STYLE༻

[Aravind.]

That was the Gayle & Raina we all knew.
Gayle continued from were he left from IPL finals, but sad to see him miss the well deserved ton.
The bowlers also bowled in a good manner. Hence we chased this target in a comfortable manner.
Finals here we come for the second time.

Spoiler: Pitch Report

Mumbai pitches made for big scores... spin & seam both need to be balanced, if you miss on that please place your fielders over the boundaries to collect the ball...

 

[Aravind.]

Going Same.
It will be a shame, if we lose this with the kinda players we have.
Especially the bowling unit.
@Saroj padhy

 

[Alexei.]

Well a great tournament we had and thanks for the amazing league.Best of Luck @PCA & @Jack Ryder & @Baahubali @Aravind. & @Saroj padhy

 

[PCA]

We are going to win this for sure. We had some tough decision to make to leave out players like Pollard, Brathwaite, Mohit Sharma, etc. But ultimately it's the team which counts. Our team is strong in both batting and bowling. So we are confident about winning the finals.

@Saroj padhy

I think we should remove Pathan from bowling. His Economy rate might cost us the finale.

 

[Aravind.]

I think we should remove Pathan from bowling. His Economy rate might cost us the finale.

We need him, he is more than handy with the ball. I know he is treated like crap in last few matches, but we need him in Mumbai.

 

[Targaryen]

I realised that I did'nt thank @RAGHU for this awesome league. We finished last and I'm not bothered with series of loses we faced during our run. We had a good bowling unit but had a very few quality batsman.

League was organized well, it was running in a good phase with great graphics and match presentations throughout the season. Thankyou for another awesome season.

Best of luck to @PCA @Jack Ryder @Baahubali @Aravind. @Saroj padhy. May the best team win. Although, both the teams deserve to win this.

 

[PCA]

Waiting for the finals.
