Result went as expected. Btw @Manish. I did not mark Deepak Hooda to bowl. And he eventually bowled more than my main bowler Mujeeb. Maybe because I did not have 6 bowlers?

Cape Town Blitz spins the coin
Trinbago Knight Riders - Tails is the call. And its Tails

Trinbago Knight Riders won the toss and choose to Bat first !

1st Innings
Code:
The new batsman is David Warner
The new batsman is Evin Lewis
The new bowler is Jofra Archer

Ball 1 - Jofra Archer to David Warner, dot, not enough time to fully come forward and defend. Played from the crease
Ball 2 - Jofra Archer to David Warner, dot, just outside off stump again to test David Warner patience. He defends and says no
Ball 3 - Jofra Archer to David Warner, FOUR runs, that was a poor shot! Poky outside off, hung his bat outside off and the ball went off the edge. The slip fielder at fourth slip dived to his left but was away. That gap between second and fourth slip didn't help
Ball 4 - Jofra Archer to David Warner, One Run, leg-side length ball, David Warner flicks it to deep square leg
Ball 5 - Jofra Archer to Evin Lewis, Caught by Dwaine Pretorius, Keep it simple on a sluggish pitch. Bowl back of a length and force the batter to do all the work.

Ball 8 - Jofra Archer to Shakib Al Hasan, One Run, back of a length outside off, Shakib Al Hasan jabbed away through the covers

Ball 10 - Jofra Archer to David Warner, FOUR runs, down the track and lofting. We have seen him hole out to deep mid-on in Tests attempting this shot, but this time he got close to the pitch of the ball and nailed the shot. Now Root has pushed the man back to the long-on boundary

Just for Maxwell went through manual simulation, still forced to go with Maxwell due to his economic bowling.
