The final scorecard for first innings was :
Score: 147
Wickets : 9
Overs : 20.0
What on earth were the Dublin Destroyers thinking when they decided to bat first after winning the toss on a green pitch?
But yet they were able to post 149 as the target for the Vatican Victors to chase thanks to some good batting by Sir Jack Hobbs who finally showed he is worth the money they have paid for him, and was well supported by OffCutters who has been in some fine form this season. Can Malcom Marshall and Co. restrict the Vatican Victors below 150? We will see that after a commercial break.

Vatican Victors wins the match by 3 wickets
Man of the Match: Kapil Dev
What an exciting match of cricket we had today. 149 always looked like a defendable score on a pitch which looked really good for the bowlers. But the partnership between gudduthemaster and Kapil Dev won the game for Victors with 6 balls to spare and 3 wickets in hand. Kapil Dev was given the man of the match for his good performance with both the ball and the bat.

8.1 barmyarmy to Kapil Dev, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover. (1)
8.2 barmyarmy to gudduthemaster, Short ball, worked off the hips for a single (1)
8.3 barmyarmy to Kapil Dev, Gorgeous square drive, placed perfectly past point. There isn't a lot of power in the shot though, and third man cuts it off while the batsmen run hard for three. (3)
8.4 barmyarmy to gudduthemaster, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one. (1)
8.5 barmyarmy to Kapil Dev, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run. (0)
8.6 barmyarmy to Kapil Dev, Tries to work it off his legs, misses, and the fielders go up in appeal! It has to be out, it HAS to be out! NOOOOO! The umpire is unmoved! Gosh that must have been close. (0)

9.1 Hmarka to gudduthemaster, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two. (2)
9.2 Hmarka to gudduthemaster, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two. (2)

10.3 Biggy to Kapil Dev, I'd like to complement the gentleman in Seat 24 Row A for being so sharply dressed in that Armani Suit. Especially in this heat. Great show...huh? What's that? Oh right, the batsmen took a single, I think. (1)

10.5 Biggy to gudduthemaster, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close. (0)
10.6 Biggy to gudduthemaster, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run. (0)

Man of the Match: Kapil Dev
What an exciting match of cricket we had today. 149 always looked like a defendable score on a pitch which looked really good for the bowlers. But the partnership between gudduthemaster and Kapil Dev won the game for Victors with 6 balls to spare and 3 wickets in hand. Kapil Dev was given the man of the match for his good performance with both the ball and the bat.
