Asim Ali 38 (20) | Sikandar Abbas - 3/9 (2) Rizwan Tahir 16 (6) | Kanwaljot Singh - 1/14 (2)
The start of the innings was a positive one for Kings XI. They scored 40 runs in the power play and well in the chase big time. But the problem was the regular loss of wickets and in the end, that turned out to be the difference! They were bowled out with not even 90 runs on the board.
No batter could get to even 20 runs. Vikas Kumar was unlucky to be given out leg-before. Both Jagmeet Singh and Simranjit Singh failed, when they were needed to score crucial runs. Sarbjit Singh could not get going either. On the whole, it was a pretty disappointing batting effort from the Kings XI.
Bowling-wise, Fresh Tropical were highly impressive! Among the 6 bowlers used, 4 of them were among the wickets. Two picked up 3 wickets each and two went at under 5.00 RPO. The catching too was up to scratch.
Fresh Tropical are out deserving first finalists and look like a team to beat! Kings XI will have to get their act together and try to press for Bronze, a little bit later in the day.
9.4 Javed Mahash to Soumi Ryder, BOWLED! Fresh Tropicals are through to the finals! Full toss dipping in, Ryder comes down the track to drive it on the off-side but the ball rattles the middle and leg-stump
Soumi Ryder b Javed Mahash 8 (7b, 1x4, 0x6)
9.3 Javed Mahash to Soumi Ryder, FOUR! Full toss and it's been swiped behind square for a boundarty
9.2 Javed Mahash to Soumi Ryder, full toss on middle and leg-stump, Ryder attempts a reverse sweep but gets hit on the pads
9.1 Javed Mahash to Soumi Ryder, full outside off-stump, sliced behind square on the off-side for a couple
Javed Mahash, right-arm medium, is into the attack.
So, we have one more over remaining. Can Kings XI protect this last wicket and finish the full 20 overs? They should make it a point and do so.
