tough luck. we bowled well for the first time in this series and batting couldn't do big

 

[themusketeer]

A rare batting collapse while Chifundo tried to win it for us but didnt get enough support.

 

[Andrin Issac]

give me a chance

 

[_Sam_]

Shame our batting couldn't keep up with our bowling, has tended to be the other way around in most of our other games!

Its a do or die I guess. Not many options available. lets see if our bowlers and batsmen unite this time.[DOUBLEPOST=1433614990][/DOUBLEPOST]Same.

we are batting first. it will be good if get to that predicted score and 5-10 runs more than that.

 

[swacker]

PlanetCricket were 134 for four after 26 overs, Southee leading from front with couple of wickets.

The early loss of @themusketeer Aman Kumar ensured @Samuels Dick Punani was content to accumulate steadily except for when he drove left-arm-paceman Boult for three fours. He then pulled Southee for his fifth four, before falling in the 10th over, caught at long-leg off Southee. Southee soon had @Umair2000 Orton held by Latham.

@sathishsky Sathish and @Varun Varun steadied their side with a stand of 58 from 64 balls until the latter was bowled by Anderson working the ball to leg.

 

[swacker]

PlanetCricket heading into the closing overs but, after driving three four off Anderson, the right-hander was well caught by Martin Guptill as he speared a shot from Southee.

Soon @VC the slogger Chidunfo got out when chipping a catch to mid-on before the most productive stand of the innings saw @aner13iopu4er Rafay and @Mr Nokkaya Prathik add 115 in 116 balls for the seventh wicket. Rafay, who reached 40, looked capable of dominating the New Zealand attack only to be run out by Williamson, while Prathik scored 13 of last second over.

 

[themusketeer]

Good total after a top order collapse but our middle and lower order made sure we reach above par score. The problem is our bowlers were not up to the mark in this series but let see if they can turn result of this series in our favor.

 

[swacker]

I will make an article as soon as possible. I just had to work (off-field) now.

[TSPrathik]

brilliant performance by the team.
brilliant batting.

[Slowcoach]

Nice win there, solid all round, great all round performance by Prathik.
