Like always it was a pleasure being part of the commentary panel for this ECS game. Till the next time, this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator Mohul Bhowmick.
Grigny Vipers beat Paris Knight Riders by 6 wickets!
It turned out to be a rather straightforward run chase as Grigny Vipers won the game quite comfortably in the penultimate over of the game with seven wickets in hand.
Thivain Menikbowe and Samiullah Mehri got their side off to a flying start. It was Mehri in particular who was absolutely clinical in his strokeplay. He kept smashing the bowlers to all corners of the park and smashed 64 off 27 deliveries which included five fours and six sixes.
Hamidoullah Daulatzai remained unbeaten on 13 off 5 deliveries which included a four and a six. They eventually chased down the target with an over to spare. Gul Mohammad Saleh was the pick of the bowlers with a couple of wickets to his name.
