Wow. Bhajji and Yuvi were fantastic. Yuvi's all round performance was the main reason for us to win. Raina and Yuvi batted really well to get to that total. And Yuvi was unbelievable in bowling too. It's a great win for us.

[Umair7]

Hmm !!!

 

[Gaurav_7]

Brilliantly done. Yuvraj you beauty! After their openers put up a hundred run partnership, I thought we have given it away. But the bowlers pulled it back in style. Let's keep up this momentum.

 

[MishraJee]

And that is more like it

 

[Saroj padhy]

And that is more like it

You will get a price cut from the winning amount for being inactive or may be nothing.
Because from the beginning i handled the team and i don't want to share my prize money.

@Rabbit

You'll get your share apart. He will see his.

 

[Ohm]

^That's right. The rule which said two (co) managers will get an equal share of their prize was the thing for Oceaniasia league and not this one. Now you will get the amounts separately and you won't have to see cuts from one another's. Even though, a manager must face a little/moderate/huge pay cut from his individual winning, depending on his activities that basically includes posting lineups or reviews and etc stuffs at some specific times.

FIRST INNINGS:

0.1  Trent Boult to Chris Gayle, , No Ball. Shortish delivery on the stumps, the batsman backs away and swats it to cover for a single  (1)
0.1  Trent Boult to Dwayne Smith, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky!  (4)
0.2  Trent Boult to Dwayne Smith, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0)
0.3  Trent Boult to Dwayne Smith, 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)

0.5  Trent Boult to Dwayne Smith, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad.  (0)

The Caribbean's bowling department worked brilliantly so well to stop opponent getting runs, as well as they continued to claim wickets at certain stages in the game and bowled out New Zealand before they were short by thirty-nine more runs from target.
