The final scorecard for second innings was :
Score: 153
Wickets : 2
Overs : 20.0
How did VV lose that? How on Earth did they lose from being 99/0 after ten overs? Remarkable, remarkable stuff from Vatican, choking of the highest order. With a leisurely 6.6 runs per over required in the final 10 overs, KI and Sohum set about nurdling the ball around and looking to finish the game in their own sweet time. Giggity Giggity, Bladescape, NP10 and Ravi Shastri all took this opportunity to get in tight over after tight over. The required rate started mounting, and then panic set in. Loose shot after loose shot, Sohum and KI started playing and missing at everything, finding it impossible to get the ball away, and made a complete hash of what should have been an easy run chase. 66 in ten overs became a still-gettable 48 runs in 5, but the final 5 overs yielded just 35 runs as chaos set in. A horribly disappointing loss for VV, but a much needed win for BB who continue to shock and surprise!

The final scorecard for second innings was :
Score: 153
Wickets : 2
Overs : 20.0
How did VV lose that? How on Earth did they lose from being 99/0 after ten overs? Remarkable, remarkable stuff from Vatican, choking of the highest order. With a leisurely 6.6 runs per over required in the final 10 overs, KI and Sohum set about nurdling the ball around and looking to finish the game in their own sweet time. Giggity Giggity, Bladescape, NP10 and Ravi Shastri all took this opportunity to get in tight over after tight over. The required rate started mounting, and then panic set in. Loose shot after loose shot, Sohum and KI started playing and missing at everything, finding it impossible to get the ball away, and made a complete hash of what should have been an easy run chase. 66 in ten overs became a still-gettable 48 runs in 5, but the final 5 overs yielded just 35 runs as chaos set in. A horribly disappointing loss for VV, but a much needed win for BB who continue to shock and surprise!
