Welcome to the 3rd Episode of Cover Drive.Marvelous 2nd match,last time batsmen had get their treat and in this match bowlers equally taste the flavor of sweet bowling but in the end Faisalabad have won it in Super over.
What you want to say Dean and Waqar on the opening cracker?
Bloody Awesome match it was both team, especially Kaneria vs Faislabad Trolls fight pretty well.
Yeah Kaneria surprisingly shown his hidden talents, though in the end he was hit by Smith but at that moment you can't say it was his fault.
Yeah He was fantastic both with bat and ball too.I was surprised to see how well he bated for Karachi team, they were almost down and out but there came Kaneria and got his to a very decent total.
And then what a fantastic piece of bowling he got 5 wickets in the whole match but that real innings gave him 4 for 14 in 3.3 overs. He was spinning the ball,bowling his flippers,googlys and was in full control
That's true but i think we two much talk on Kaneria what about Faisalabad?
They fought like Trolls, they were in complete control until the wicket of Clarke fell and then it was all end for them, thankfully they were able to tie the scores.
Yeah Middle order for Trolls looks very strong but other then that no big spark in batting.
SO in the end well played match by both teams but Smith gave his last touch and won the match for them.
Lets get to the next match that is between Multan Muggers and Rawalpindi Rams at Dubai.lets first go through their lineups before discussing them.

Multan is a real gem side, full of good T20 players, with very well balanced batting and bowling lineups, it would not be easy to beat such sides.
By batting point of view, Multan is pretty higher then Rams, Muggers have depth, strength as well as sheet anchors like Sachin who is equally good in all formats.
Rawalpindi Rams though have young players but they all are too very good T20 players.
By bowling point of view,again muggers have some edge on the basis of past performances but we all know cricket is a new game on each day so past can't provide 100% surety that you will win.Still Muggers have good experience in the form of Akhtar and Nannes.Aamir is unique star too nut Rams do have very good bowlers like Roach,Samiullah and Rauf, Fazal is also very handy in last overs.
Hope to see another interesting contest, pitch of Dubai is always very good for batsman but it will be slow I guess so we may see a little low scoring match.
So this was all in today's show, hope you will like it.We will surely watch a gem cracker between Muggers and Rams until then Good bye and don't forget to participate in Prediction Contest.
