Prithvi's bowling won us the match last time. Hopefully, we will have a team performance this time around.

 

[dancingmongoose]

Should be an easy win here

 

[Gaurav_7]

I feel like giving the match to The Demons as Dragons have failed to submit their lineup till now.

Do It

 

[Pinch hitter]

This ground had something for seam bowler, but captain decided not to give bowl to Ultra... Only 2 Seam bowlers with 4 Spinners [3 part-timers], let's see how we contain dragons batting...

 

[Sami Kumar]

Whoops, sorry about that. I actually thought that Chris Johnson was a seamer..
