Which TV show @IceAgeComing?
If you want to keep it under personal wraps I am fine with that just been a bit nosey.

A win would be nice here I think we have good relations with the Demons but when we take to the field we want to win and the feeling I am sure is the same for them. It is time to exercise a few Demons…

[Pinch hitter]

Unbelievable comeback from demons... well-done team...

 

[Sami Kumar]

Our bowling was Pure dead brilliant. Superb knocks by Challagola and Muller.

 

[MrNginator]

Hmm, our batting though is questionable.

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Great win guys, well done ARK, Pravin and Rudolph. They saved the match for us. Also, it was nice being the Misbah of my team.

@IceAgeComing
Adam and Jamie should make a robot.

I think this match from our point of view was an experiential match as the captain could try out a few ideas and see what his squad was capable of if we moved and tinkered with the line-up it was a great opportunity to do so. So we look forward to meeting the Demons again in the knockout stage should be an exciting clash.

 

[Perfect Square]

O! Yes The Demons in the Play-Offs
