PLAYER OF THE MATCH
So, the defending champions are out of the tournament. And the top four teams have already qualified for the semi-final with three matches left. The next few matches will decide the order in which teams will finish on the points table. Join us tomorrow for another double-header. Until then, goodbye and take care.
Vinay Kumar, winning skipper: Abhishek is a great player and he came at the right time. Hopefully, he will deliver in the next few matches too. There is lot of scope for improvement. In this format, when you are on top you have to be on top. There was a drop catch, a misfield and couple of sixes so that pissed me off. I am that type of a guy who generally doesn't say too many things on the field but today I had to. We as a team need to help each other.
Stuart Binny, losing skipper: We lost too many wickets in the powerplay. We did not play the brand of the cricket, we wanted to. Our number 11 showed some fight.
Abhishek Reddy, Man of the Match: I was due for a big one and I am happy that it came off today. I backed my instincts. I was timing the ball well but I was failing to convert the start.
22:28 Local Time: An ordinary batting display from the Belagavi unit and they are out of the tournament. Their start was swift but then they lost wickets in a bunch in the powerplay. Stuart Binny was the key for them but he was cleaned up by Mahesh Patel on a duck and after that Belagavi never looked like chasing it down. Pranav Bhatia put up some show in the end to entertain the crowd. He came in at number 10 and ended up as the highest scorer(32) for his team. He also reduced the victory margin. Vinay Kumar wouldn't be entirely happy with his team effort. They were sloppy in the field and dropped some very easy chances. They need to work on their fielding, if they have to go the journey in this tournament. Time for the presentations.
