Kumar Vishal had no option but to try and bat till the end watching one wicket falling after the other cheaply. The Royal Mavericks managed 170 runs for the loss of six wickets at a run rate of 8.50 on a dead track. Will it be enough? Skipper Dikshansh Darshan seem to think that it is ... ​

[Satan666]

Poor score from the Mavericks, havent left much on the board for their bowlers to defend.

 

[Life Warrior]

Well Played @AliB ,Hope you'll keep this form throughout the season.

10.2 - 6 | 10.3 - 4 | 10.4 - OUT |

Our bowlers are capable to defend.

 

[SMMODS]

We can defend it.

 

[Yash.]

Nice innings guys!

Ali Bubere continuing from his last year's form, and nice contributions from our top order. The middle order should fire more from the next time. Still, we have the bowling to defend this.

 

[AliB]

So is it a new team for me? I doubt.... Let's keep the momentum going!

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. The Royal Mavericks will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Seam benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said The Royal Mavericks proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. The Royal Mavericks will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Seam benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said The Royal Mavericks proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Your guess is as good as mine! Must be a bug.
