Matches Posted Pepsi Cup II | Eliminator: Dolphins vs Tigers - Kung Fu Pandya

Some great bowling from the lads, after watching the first innings, I thought match over, but bowlers were simply awesome.
 
Ngl you had me in the first half :crying:
I thought the bowlers bowled superbly, only if Fakhar could have complimented Malan at the other end or Malan/Axar could have survived a little longer.

A sad end to the campaign, but the comeback we made to qualify for the playoffs after at one stage it was looking not good is remarkable :Claping:

Mardan (KPK :spying:) will be back stronger!

Hardik Pandya played a fabolous knock to lift the Tigers to a competitive total after they found themselves struggling at 133/4. KL Rahul and Zain Abbas laid the groundwork for the Tigers' total, but a middle-order collapse somewhat undid their work and left the captain the job of rebuilding the innings.

Much to Hardik Pandya's credit, he paced his innings to perfection without finding much, if any, support from the other end. Without his counterattacking 86 not out, the Tigers would have been in all sorts of trouble. For the Dolphins, Jasprit Bumrah was the clear standout with a 4-wicket haul to his name.

Target: Karachi Dolphins need 287 runs to win

@Perfect Square @DuneTiger
 
That was not an easy session for our bowlers. Only Bumrah performed up the standard and Hasaranga, wow, chose the worst game to give his stinker.

I still have hope with our talented batters to chase this down. It won't be easy but I believe we will get there.

Hardik Pandya played a fabolous knock to lift the Tigers to a competitive total after they found themselves struggling at 133/4. KL Rahul and Zain Abbas laid the groundwork for the Tigers' total, but a middle-order collapse somewhat undid their work and left the captain the job of rebuilding the innings.

Much to Hardik Pandya's credit, he paced his innings to perfection without finding much, if any, support from the other end. Without his counterattacking 86 not out, the Tigers would have been in all sorts of trouble. For the Dolphins, Jasprit Bumrah was the clear standout with a 4-wicket haul to his name.

Target: Karachi Dolphins need 287 runs to win

Boundary to end the over! This is remarkable from Nicholas Pooran! The Trinidadian has conjured up the innings of a lifetime to drag the Dolphins achingly close to victory. Now, the responsibility is on Arif Yaqoob to survive, as he has for 9 balls prior to this, and somehow get Nicholas Pooran back on strike.

Code:
46.1  Pandya to Yaqoob, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down
46.2  Pandya to Yaqoob, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by Pandya. Yaqoob didnt have a clue

An outstanding win for the Multan Tigers, headlined by the all-round brilliance of their captain, Hardik Pandya, as they secure their place in the final of Pepsi Cup II. Not only are they headed to the final, but the final itself is headed to Multan, with the Tigers winning against the Dolphins today.

The Dolphins' chase can best be described as "start and stop" with wickets falling at the most inopportune of times for them, seemingly in chunks, but despite such an inconsistent batting performance, they were able to get so achingly close to victory off the back of Nicholas Pooran's top-drawer 78*.

A late burst with the ball from Hardik Pandya got the Tigers across the finish line with a mere two runs left between the Dolphins and victory, nullifying Pooran's 78* in the process. Quite a memorable outing for Hardik Pandya, with both the bat and the ball, as the Tigers' captain leads them to the final.

MULTAN TIGERS        286/9     50.0 overs
