Commentary

That's all from us then! We hope you enjoyed our coverage of this T20 game. This is Soumarya Dutta ,signing off on behalf of my partner Bidipto Datta. See you soon.

Varun Khanna, Player of the Match - It was a big opportunity for me to rub shoulders with some of the legends of world cricket and getting to learn from them! It was a special moment for me as I had promised my wife that I would give my best and I feel that things fell in place. It's has been a great platform for us and hopefully we can get a lot more opportunities to learn from great players.

Upul Tharanga (Guwahati Avengers captain): I think we were exceptional with the ball today. When you bowl that well, it makes life a lot easier for the batters and gives them more confidence to chase those runs authoritatively. Anureet Singh and Tino Best have combined really well so far, and I hope that they continue in the same fashion tomorrow in the sem-final.

Farveez Maharoof (Patna Warriors captain): I thought that right throughout the tournament, our batting let us down. The bowling has been okay but we needed to bat much better in order to make the semi-finals. Partnerships were key, we couldn't quite build them up, even today. It was a good thing to be able to meet these players and play alongside them, but, it was not to be our season.

It is time for the post-match presentation!

Guwahati Avengers 93/2 in 9.1 overs
Vishu Khatri 51*(27) | Muhammad Mudassar Ali 2/16
Shafiq Khan 16*(19)

This has been an absolutely emphatic win for the Guwahati Avengers. They just needed a meagre 92 runs to win the game and they a mockery of the chase as they finished it off in about 40 minutes and 9 overs. It was all started by Vishu Khatri and Rahul Yadav who went berserk in the powerplay. Once Rahul was gone, the aggressive approach was continued by Chandrakant Ghadi. Post his dismissal, it was all about the Vishu Khatri and Sahfiq Khan show. While Khatri blasted off anything that loose on offer, Khan gave him good company and played the perfect foil as he remained unbeaten on 16. In the end, Khatri finished things off with huge 6 to get to his 50.

The Patna bowlers had very little to defend and they cut a sorry figure. One can question the tactics of the skipper Maharoof as it seemed like he had given up. Neither he nor former Indian seamer Abhimanyu Mithun came on to bowl and one can't be blamed if they feel that the outcome could have been slightly different if the pair had bowled in the game. Most of the bowlers took the tapping and the spinners were taken to the cleaners by Khatri. Mudassar was the only one who got two wickets but he too was really expensive.

In the end, it was an easy win for the Avengers and they have cemented their place in the semi finals! The Patna Warriors have been disappointing and they will be playing for some pride from here on. There chances in the tournament are over and they will have a lot of reflecting back to do on what has been a tough campaign for them.

Guwahati Avengers win by 8 wickets!

9.1 Praveen to Vishu Khatri, over the wicket, SIX! FIFTY FOR VISHU KHATRI! AND A BIG WIN FOR GUWAHATI AVENGERS! Fuller around off. Vishu goes back, clears the front leg and swings hard over mid-on. It gets very struck from the middle of the bat and goes sailing over long-on for a maximum!

It was another massive over as Khatri took Mehta too the cleaners and whacked him all over the park! This is now only a formality for the Avengers from here on.

8.6 Kapil Mehta to Shafiq Khan, good length carrom ball on off. It beats the batter on the outside edge as he tries to push it to short cover from the back foot!

8.5 Kapil Mehta to Shafiq Khan, good length ball on off. Patted back to the bowler from the back foot, no run.

8.4 Kapil Mehta to Shafiq Khan, FREE HIT! Good length ball around off. An attempted sweep with the spin but a miss! No leg-bye.

8.4 Kapil Mehta to Vishu Khatri, good length ball around off. Punched down to deep backward point from the back foot for a single. Oh well, it is a no-ball for overstepping!

8.3 Kapil Mehta to Vishu Khatri, SIX! Full on middle. Vishu makes room and lofts it well over long-off from the front foot for a maximum!

8.2 Kapil Mehta to Vishu Khatri, FOUR! Good length flatter ball around off. Vishu gets down on one knee and hammers it down to the left of long-on for a boundary!

8.1 Kapil Mehta to Shafiq Khan, short and wide outside off. Turning in slowly. Tapped against the spin to backward point off the back foot for a single.

Khatri seems to be in a bit of a hurry at the moment now and he is looking to finish this game off as quickly as he can! The Avengers are just 18 runs away from a massive victory.
