Dylan Smith and Waqar Ali grab a wicket each to close the innings as Bad Boys finish with 285 for 9 - a total that should've been more intimidating considering their start.

The Avengers made an excellent comeback with the ball considering how Bad Boys' started their innings - two exquisite partnerships that saw them be 163/1 at one point.
But Nilay Shah's bowling in the middle-overs completely turned the game around and brought The Avengers back into the contest - he finished with figures of 4 for 30.

He was never given his remaining two overs to complete what would've been - the first 5-wicket haul of The PlanetCricket League 3.0 - across all three formats, but alas!
Varun Stokes and Rudi Struwig led a formidable fightback but they were unable to imitate the batting prowess shown by Lalit Modi and Chris Swift at the top of the order.

Heartbreak for The Avengers! They needed 2 runs to win from the last delivery but a brilliantly executed yorker denies them even a single that would've tied the game.
Calling the wicket-keeper closer to the wicket was an absolute masterstroke from Rudi Struwig. Talha Hayat's heroics go in vain as Bad Boys escape with a 1-run win.

What a game and what a way for both teams to kick-off their campaigns in The KVT. This is the type of game that lives in a player's memory for the rest of their lives.
It all could've been so different for The Avengers if that last delivery had pitched a little shorter or a little fuller - but Rudi Struwig nailed that yorker outside the offstump.

Talha Hayat fought valiantly with the bat with great support from Dylan Smith - but in the end, it was a game of nerves and fortunately for the Bad Boys - they prevailed.
A 1-run defeat does not tell the full story of The Avengers' comeback after being completely overpowered by Bad Boys' bowling up until the last 4.0 overs of the game.

Dammit. But I'm very happy with my personal performance- two wickets and a big knock at eight.
 
Ohhhhh my Gosh!!!! Talha Hayat you absolute beauty! You had my heart in my mouth, what a knock that was. Got to give it to the big man, even though we won. The match seemed done till the 46th over but what transpired after that was batting of highest order.

Rudi you son of a gun! That last bowl pressure must have been immense but you did it my man, you did it! I feel great to have batted the way I did, my personal achievements do not matter at all. As I said before the start of this TPCL, I am going to play some fearless cricket in the shorter formats. That 92 runs knock is better than any century if we keep on winning like this.
 
Amazing game! It was a pleasure to be batting with Modi in that form,but our bowlers were unbelievable,especially Rudi with that last over,Fantastic stuff guys.
And credit to the Avengers and especially Talha for making it such a great game of cricket,hard luck guys.
 
We nearly choked even though we dominated the match mostly courtesy of our bad fielding so see you all at catching practice tomorrow! Rudi kept his nerves, Modi played wonderfully, Swift was good, Jacob & Rukanah = amazing duo! Misbah fan boy got out on a duck :')
