:’(

We should’ve won this. Albie Morkel massively underperformed in the final and thus we ended up on the losing side.

Great managing a team with you @RUDI

Great league @TSPrathik

Fun Fact : our team didn’t make a single change and never played a spinner throughout the whole tournament

 

[mohsin7827]

Wow what a Final
Congratulations @Murtaza96 and @Na Maloom Afraad
Thanks @TSPrathik for hosting the league fun o be part of it

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

WHAT!?! How did we pull that off? HOW DID WE PULL THAT OFF!!!

Steve Smith and David Miller played excellently and were literally the only reason we even got so close to the target (which we eventually chased-down). I'm so hyped up that I finally won a league that would grant me a berth in the Champions League! Especially since it came on the heels of me losing the finals of Ohm's Royal London One-Day Cup with Middlesex and Akshay.'s Alokozay Afghanistan Premier League with Speen Ghar Tigers. After having seen the first innings, and then how our chase started, I was sure I was going to make it a hat trick of final loses to deny myself an entry in the Champions League. So glad that we won, legitimately elated.

Tough luck boys @RUDI/@Yash. - you guys had one of the best teams on-paper (imho), but on their day, our team could've absolutely defeated you guys. And I'm glad that day was the final.

On to the Champions League @Murtaza96!

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

@TSPrathik please put Paarl Rocks out of their misery
