Mark you beauty! This is coming out of nowhere. What an incredible spell! Mavericks have lost their last 4 wickets for merely 45 runs. Mark has claimed three of them, such is the impact of this fella.

22.6  Kkkkk to Hirani, one run, That was a very risky single.

Hirani and Darshan at the crease. Required run rate is still in sight, but Mavericks ain't got so many options. It's their last pair of recognized batsmen. Lannisters need 5 more wickets to take the cup home. Their opposition need to score 91 off 102 balls with 5 wickets in hands to take this competition to another final.

23.1  Hackerman to Hirani, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though

Mark has gone for 19 runs without a wicket in his last 2 overs. Looks like his plan of bowling aggressive against the new batsmen in search of another wicket has backfired against him.

29.1  Fischer to Darshan, no run, Left alone by Dikshansh Darshan

Only if he had been more economical today, Lannisters could have stood a chance. Fischer went for 7.5 runs per over after having bowled his full quota.

30.1  Lestrange to Darshan, FOUR, Who needs Bradman when weve got Dikshansh Darshan
30.2  Lestrange to Darshan, FOUR, Brillian cover drive by Dikshansh Darshan
30.3  Lestrange to Darshan, FOUR, Dikshansh Darshan is one of the best batsmen in the world

Bang Bang! Looks like they're in a hurry. This has been a fantatic turnaround. First Mavericks were going all guns blazing, then in the middle Lannisters found back to back breakthroughs and made this match look balanced. But now, with Darshan and Hirani doing fearless striking, Mavericks regain control over the game.

30.4  Lestrange to Darshan, no run, Dikshansh Darshan was completely deceived

So, that's done and dusted. They had to do it in 40 overs, they done it with 6 overs to spare. A massive performance. Mavericks had lost track in early stage of first innings, they bounced back. They had lost track in middle of the second innings, they bounced back. In the end, the stellar batting performance, the partnership between Darshan & Hirani has helped them grab this win. The series is drawn 1-1. We will have to wait for the third and the final match in this series, to find out the champion.

Royal Mavericks won by 5 wickets

Man of the match: Abel Harland       

Royal Mavericks level the finals series 1-1.

​

 

[Pinch hitter]

That's the partnership needed after that quick fall... Played team... Let's get this OD trophy too...

 

[Till Valhalla]

We lost the plot in between.

 

[Mijurkat]

We'll need to learn from this failure. We gave away some easy runs. Mavericks played me & Bella really well in this match, that's very rare. I believe, we'll win the 3 final & it will be an epic one. [HASHTAG]#HearUsRoar[/HASHTAG]

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Well happy with my batting performance, disappointed I could not move on and accelerate. Our bowlers did well but the pitch changed in the 2nd innings. The ball came onto the bat more nicely. We are still winning this completing our limited overs collection of trophies.

 

[Yash.]

Phew! Thankfully, I redeemed myself from the horrific T20 final, by supporting DD there. Now to the final game, and let's get it in the bag!

Great innings from Abel here too, after the first FC final! [HASHTAG]#GoMavericks[/HASHTAG]!

 

[Gaurav_7]

My slow innings cost us the game here. The final match will see a quickfire match winning hundred from LK Modi!

 

[A.P Haux]

Well, there are a lot of regrets but Mavericks have also played very well. Now we'll have to move on and set our eyes on the third final, where we'll hopefully redeem ourselves to be crowned as champions.
