Overs : 20.0
-------------------------------
Innings end analysis
Toronto Tanks were going better for nothing. They won the Toss, and elected to Bat first, on a sticky wicket, that's not what you'd expect or even imagine. But they got off to a good start with Holdenator Smashing his way off the first two overs. But after that, the drill began and the Tanks are kept onto the grounds. Dr.Pepper gave Manchester Divided The First wicket, and the important Wicket of Ian Botham, then it was all to the Manchester Divided's star, Sydney Barnes who sure had betting on him, and it paid off! He took another 5'fer breaking his PCPL and his own record of a 3.5overs - 5 wickets spell. with 3.4overs - 5 wickets spell. Stunning every batsman. But the tanks had to prove what they were capable of, and 20/20 pro played like a 20/20 pro and Hitterman Hit a supporting knock, supporting a less but not the least target of 140. Overall a good effort but to keep Manchester Divided from winning is a hard call. Their bowlers need to do an inspirational job. But It's a game to see when Manchester Divided walk out in the middle. Keep watching.
The second innings begins soon now
