Matches Posted *Live Week 4 - Cricverse S2 | Harshal Patel to defend 11 runs from 10 balls

We fought hard but couldn't go ahead in this league. Not having a quality 6th bowling and an experienced spinner cost us. Also it took time to find out the right batting order and hence the initial matches didn't reap good results.

Thanks for a wonderful league @Manish. Really enjoyed it.

Match Summary

Multan Sultan     152/5    [Balls 100]
Chennai Super Kings     150/5    [Balls 100]

Multan Sultan beat Chennai Super Kings by 2 runs.
 
So close yet so far. Finishes In MSD style (almost)
I think we were a good bowling side in group.
Our middle order did not click and when top order collapses it make really hard to get back on the game.

Thanks @Manish. for hosting the league, was fun :)
 
Ball 96 - Hardik Pandya to MS Dhoni, dot, just outside off stump again to test MS Dhoni patience. He defends and says no Ball 97 - Hardik Pandya to MS Dhoni, dot, blocked Ball 98 - Hardik Pandya to MS Dhoni, FOUR runs, would you believe this? Bloke has played a text book front foot lofted cover drive in the final over of a T20 game when people usually lose shape looking swing hard. Ball 99 - Hardik Pandya to MS Dhoni, Two Runs, good length delivery shaping back in, MS Dhoni works it behind square and comes back for the second too Ball 100 - Hardik Pandya to MS Dhoni, 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
Take it down to the end a bit more.
 
wow, I am shocked! Great work by KL with the bat and Hardik with the ball, that was another close game...

Our Skipper delivered on the big stage, well supported by Shaw and brilliant death bowling from natarajan two set batsman at the crease and managing to get 6 dots in final 10 surely decides the win

one more win -fingerscrossed- hopefully we can do it
