Like first 2 matches, next matches were almost carbon copies.
The 3rd match had NRT,defending champions against GKR. A cracker one?? Nope. NRT managed to score 102/7 in 20 overs.Steve Smith top scored with 37 off 35 and Gayle made 28 from 38 balls. Rest of the team pathetic. FOr GKR, Negi destroyed NRT taking 3 wickets for just 19 runs in 4 overs.Morris took 2 wicket.
GKR chased the target losing 2 wicket in 18.2 overs.Gambhir top scored with 38 while his opening partner got 31. Gyanendra Malla played a careful knock of 29 off 39 to take team to victory.Harbhajan and Maxwell took a wicket each. Negi was decided the MOTM.
The last match of the day saw Brave Heroes against Rising GLadiators.BH got to a good start with Lendl Simmons scoring 42 off 29 and Michel Klinger 43 off 37. Du Plesis got 21 off 23. A briliant start from top order was badly handled by middle order as team ended with 143/9 off 20 overs.It was a heroic task of bravo to destroy the middle order taking 4 wickets and stop opponent from getting big total.Umar Gul supported him with 2 wickets.
RG chased the target with 2 balls to sparelosing 4 wickets as we witnessed brilliant knock of 75 off just 47 balls.Alex Hales supported him with well made 45 off 42. 8 bowlers were used by BH. Experimenting maybe. Steyn and wiese got a wicket each.Root was declared MOTM
GKR and RG are at 3rd and 4th place while BH and NRT find themselves at 5th and 6th position respectively.
Its just the beginning and we will witness great upside down for sure.
