The Leeds team have picked up another win. The Phoenix continue their downward spirtal. We will continue being part of the jamboree. But time for us to exit the scene. We will be back soon!
Ryan Rickleton, Match Hero: Chuffed with that, yeah. Important game for us. Big weekend in the comp. It's getting nice and tight at the top of the table, so good to get over the line here and hopefully get a good net run rate boost too. I got Mitch on that end taking a lot of heat off me, in all honesty. He gives the first punch, allows me just to find time to kind of get into my game. Moving a lot better now, having a little bit more trust in it compared to maybe a week ago. So slowly finding my groove, but just enjoying it out there. Enjoy putting on a good partnership with the big man, and hopefully we can continue that going forward. Yeah, I think we're fortunate enough to play against each other quite a lot. This is our first opportunity playing with each other, but kind of just work each other's games out from watching against and playing with. And you kind of, you can mould into it quite nicely. Mitch takes, you know, quite an aggressive route up front very early on. And generally that's my job, but he allows me to, you know, sit on the backseat and kind of cruise into what I want to try do. I thought we probably left 10 to 20 out there. We're in a good position for a bit more, but the quality of our bowlers to execute their plans under pressure, day in and day out, has been a testament to this team. So, yeah, they're really carrying us through at the moment, and hopefully they can continue to do so.
21:21 Local Time, 20:21 GMT, 01:51 IST: The game almost was done in the first half itself. 170 was always going to be tough to chase down. Carse and Potts were lively with their spells as they bowled fast and bowled some fine short balls. Abrar bowled an accurate spell as well. The Leeds with this win have jumped to second on the table.
