Manchester Divided vs. Chennai Champions


Chennai Champions - 171/4 in 20.0 overs.
Manchester Divided - 146/6 in 20.0 overs.



Chennai Champions wins the match by 25 runs

And this ends MAnchester Divided's excellent run in season 3 thanks to Pal's superb bowling and Adyhorn's excellent batting performance

MOTM :
Pal
 
Our batting was fine given a Slow pitch, anything above 150 was always going to be really difficult. Chenna just somehow batted well and we bowled poorly to conceded 170+, that's all.


Oh well, the streak had to end someday. Well played CC.
 
Meh, we had to lose at some point and I would rather it be now than the final
 
Terrific work Ady.Chris and Rohit played good knocks aswell.We deserved a win sometime soon given how close we lost our earlier games.
 
Yup. Also, probably should have stuck with a Dusty. A Slow pitch should suit us though, what with 3 spinners and 2 medium pacers. Ah well, we'll get 'em next time.
