Beijing Blitzers vs. Vatican Victors


Vatican Victors - 186/6 in 20.0 overs.
Beijing Blitzers - 188/4 in 18.2 overs.



Beijing Blitzers wins the match by 6 wickets
Man of the Match:Shalin Hitter

186 was never a bad total to defend but at the end the pitch was too good for batting and the Beijing batsmen made the best use of the conditions and won the match with 6 wickets and 10 balls to spare. The man of the match award was given to Shalin Hitter for his brilliant innings of 75 runs which included 8 fours and 1 six. The Victors will be disappointed to lose their first match of this season against their bitter rivals but this was mainly due to their poor display in the field as they dropped 3 catches, which if taken could have made things more interesting.

Thats all form me, hope you have enjoyed some great cricket played between the two teams today.
 
Very poor bowling performance there. None of us could keep the runs down and we certainly didn't take enough wickets.
 
Wow! :banana2 Shalin & BB's debutant- Pranav have stolen the show. Keep it up guys. Both the teams played well to be honest. Because, 370+ in 40 overs is nothing but a pure entertainment. :banana2
 
Great way to start the season, I feel our bowlers did really well to restrict VV under 200 on a flat pitch, and then it was the important partnership of Shalin and Pranav which won us the game. Hoping we continue the same form in the next matches.
 
poor bowling but a nice cameo from me.... yay!!
 
We lost this bulldogs :facepalm really not a possitive start
 
wohooo..... we won and its a great pleasure in hitting winning runs....
And great bowling VV. I thught Kapil would tick me out but this policy
You'll always miss the ball if you think of the ways you miss it.
of mine helped in taking the ball outside the rope..
 
Yay we won....Great overall team performance guys ;)
Surender did well getting 3 wickets.Great game and a superb start
 
Congrats guys on the win!!!!:D :D :D tried to give an aggressive start but Van Der Biji....something like that lbw me :mad
