[NaviN GandhI]

Wow.. Its great that I hold the Highest individual score....

 

[_Sam_]

What a shameful performance for us. Once we were 5 wickets down we just let it go deciding not to attack anything and let the run rate rise from the easily achievable 5 rpo.

Knockout Cup Quarter-Final Draw

Welcome to the official draw for the Quarter-Finals of the inaugural Knockout Cup, courtesy of Random.org. The teams who were successful in the Round of 16 have been each been allocated a ball in alphabetical order, as follows:

1: Brazil

2: Estonia

3: India

4: Kiribati

5: Kuwait

6: Lithuania

7: New Zealand

8: Zanzibar

Without further ado, let's release these balls and get the draw underway.

*dramatic swirling*

Spoiler: Quarter-Final 1

The first ball is Number 8. And playing them will be Number 2.

Zanzibar v Estonia at San Isidrio

Zanzibar of course were the only batting unit to properly master the San Isidrio wicket; a challenging proposition for the Estonians.

@Shagger @HawkAussie

Spoiler: Quarter-Final 2

The third ball out of the hat is Number 6, which is closely followed by Number 3.

Lithuania v India at Guapiles

India return to the ground where their batsmen ran rampant in the last round, although this is also the venue where Lithuania beat Argentina.

@IceAgeComing @NaviN GandhI

Spoiler: Quarter-Final 3

Into the second half of the draw now, and Number 5 is drawn to meet Number 1.

Kuwait v Brazil at Alajuela

Neither Kuwait nor Brazil has played at this venue before, and both sides have won their games so far by batting first. An important toss to win?

@Sami Kumar @Na Maloom Afraad

Spoiler: Quarter-Final 4

By now of course, we already know our last quarter-final. Number 7 comes out first and will face Number 4.

New Zealand v Kiribati at Heredia

The two Pacific teams face off at the ground where Kiribati saw off Spain two games ago. Kiribati like to set a total, while New Zealand can chase.

@Sami Kumar to post the lineup, Once done we can get over with Quarterfinals..

 

[themusketeer]

Poor Middle order batting cost us the game. Hats off too our opener Lasso for sticking around and making sure we reach a respectable total. Amano did tried to make a comeback after removing 2 crucial wkts in single over but others didnt support him.
