Well thanks for all the comments and feedback, we'll be back tomorrow to see what Sehwag and Kohli have in store against Umesh Yadav and Co. Have a good evening. Ciao ciao.
Vinay Kumar saves the day or Vinay Kumar almost gives it away! Depends on what way you look at it. But Blues have won - the margin is not too big after scoring that mammoth score - but they have won, and they are now in the final. The batting has been exhilarating in the match. Yuvraj and Nayar made hay during the first innings during an assault that just happened to be the difference. But this is India, the bowling makes sure no target is ever safe. They do it at the international stage, and they do the same at the national stage. Bhuvneshwar, Umesh, Vinay, bowlers who should be controlling these overs, end up being the culprits. Full marks to the Reds lower order - Jadhav, Jaggi, Nadeem, Umesh - for taking the fight till the end.
Satz: "This very much sums up the standards of our international bowlers! And we can't scream that our heroes are back to form on hitting these bowlers. But one thing is so sure that Yusuf is no good a player for even Challengers trophy."
S Nadeem c Reddy b Vinay Kumar 27 (33m 21b 4x4 0x6) SR: 128.57
Two sixes, that's all Nadeem needs to hit
Satyak69: "India red would have already won the match, if they had controlled their extras, that is the only difference."
And now Patel is walking out.. Wake up people, this is not over yet!! Ok, 13 off 3!!!
UT Yadav b Vinay Kumar 19 (9m 8b 1x4 2x6) SR: 237.50
This is atrocious bowling!! And these are our international bowlers!
Umesh on strike, last over, 23 runs
END OF OVER:49 | 15 Runs | IND-R: 323/8 (23 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 6.59, RRR: 23.00)
