I went too expensive. Good bowling @vaibhav and @Untouchables666 and Navin was exceptional. Lets chase 156 is not a big deal.
 
Well yeah green top. Our openers need to negotiate the first 6 at around 7 an over but I have no doubts with the kind of form we are in. :thumbs

In a Green pitch having an economy of 3.67 is way better than picking up wickets.I am happy with my players performance.. The team was very good with the ball, 157 is a chaseable target but again in T20 we cant predict anything so we have to wait and watch. Hope I have a very good day with the bat too but on the other hand I hope it does not come to that stage. Lets wait and watch. Blitzberg Steel and Varun Rustagi were very good for Dragons, Congrats. But will their effort go in waste, lets wait and watch.
 
Good performance by bowlers. Ali and Nandu were not up to thier mark when compared to pre-season match. Target is not too difficult to chase but not easy as that. Hope to chase it.

Good luck to batsmens :thumbs . I hope that top and middle order finish the things off.
 
Happy with my cameo there. We weren't much good bowling second in the pre-season, but I'm backing our bowlers to defend 156 on a green wicket.
 
A pretty good start to the game for us, and a total we should be able to defend.
 
Wow second half is being played for more than 4 hours, which is more than usual timing take to complete a full T20 match.:p
 
Sad to see Khurram and Misbah failing. 156 looks like a decent defendable score. It's now time our bowling strength showed what its all about.

The remaining innings to come on Friday as I have to go out of town tomorrow and won't get any time for this.
And will be played for two days...
 
Not feeling overly confident about defending that I must say judging by the results of the friendlies where 200 was an easy target. Hopefully this pitch is a bit more lively than the ones we faced for friendlies
