Thanks for joining me, Mohul Bhowmick, for this exciting game in the ECS! Until next time, ciao!
Kings XI beat Cricket Stars by 6 wickets!
Simranjit Singh 41* (20) | Jaswinder Singh 3/30 Nasir Ramzan 29* (16) | Abdullah Abdullah 2/8
In the end, it turned out to be an easy chase for the Kings XI. They managed to get to the end thanks to a comfortable batting performance by the likes of Simranjit Singh and Sarbjit Singh. Although they did not get off to the brightest of starts, they managed to stitch together a lower-order partnership and get over the line.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be the second defeat in a row for Cricket Stars today, after their crushing loss against Jinnah Brescia earlier in the day. They will be saddened by the way they performed, but a lot of positives can still be taken out of this. Nasir Ramzan's performance with the bat was one such.
