Enough of practise boys. We sent special package to NMA. He will take care of the rest.

Fantastic display of death-bowling from The Royal Mavericks contains The Wild Force to 335 for 4 by the end of their 50.0 overs - a total that is by no means inadequate.
Princess Saffron conceded 20 runs in her penultimate over (whacked for five boundaries). She made an incredible comeback by bowling a 4-run over right after that.

The Royal Mavericks' death-bowling prowess came in use as they conceded only 22 runs in the last 4.0 overs of the innings - right on the heels of that atrocious 20-run over.
Kushal Choudhury and Bilal Ansari will feel The Wild Force have finished with a good 20-30 runs short of what could've been an intimidating total - even on this flat wicket.

The Wild Force played wonderfully with four players achieving fifties and two remaining unbeaten on them - however no batsman found a way to convert that into a ton.
The Royal Mavericks were taken to the cleaners but that was expected given the nature of the pitch. Their death-bowling helped them save a good few runs in the end.

Prabhul KV struck in two crucial stages of the game but The Royal Mavericks were unable to capitalize on his dismissals, as The Wild Force recovered from them swiftly.
Princess Saffron conceded 20 runs in an over with Bilal Ansari smashing her for 5 successive fours, only for her to make a comeback and bowl a 4-run follow-up over.

Dikshansh Darshan and Van Divine's blister at the top were the highlights of this campaign opener for The Royal Mavericks - a victory no doubt dedicated to Kumar Vishal.
It was a tale of the homeground advantage being a little too influential on the outcome of the match - the hometeam knew exactly what they were getting themselves into.

Ashutosh Kumar Kushwaha was taken to the cleaners in his first two overs but he also picked-up more wickets than anyone for The Wild Force (with 2 scalps to his name).
The Wild Force will be looking to forget and move on from this game as soon as humanly possible - a tough loss to kickstart a season that doesn't allow room for errors.
