What an excellent contest we have had here. An absolute thriller here. Until the last over it could have been anyone's game but the blunder in the field cost them the match here. Roma Kings could have successfully defended the total but the Kings XI batters played some excellent cricket there and winning this one not so comfortably. It was the batting of Vikas Kumar and Simranjit Singh that lead them to victory and the bowlers could not take the wickets at the right time to stop them. The target was not a big one but Roma Kings did give them quite a good fight, but it wasn't enough for the Roma Kings' batters to win and get the first points on the table.
Thank you so much for joining us for ECS Italy's first match and many more games to come here. This is Ankit Sharma and Pranav Danani signing off. Until Next time. Kings XI beat Royal Roma by 8 wickets
10.0
9.3 Vajrala Reddy to Sarbjit Singh , FOUR TO WIN THE GAME! Short of a good length, outside off stump. Sarbjit carves it away, towards deep backward point. Fielder misjudges the ball, drops the catch, and lets the ball bounce over the fence at the end. The Kings win by 8 wickets and grab two points.
9.2 Vajrala Reddy to Simranjeet Singh , full on the fourth stump line now. Simranjeet drills it towards deep cover, where the fielder fumbles the ball, gives two, and throws it to the keeper. Keeper fails to collect it, and gives away another single.
9.1 Vajrala Reddy to Simranjeet Singh , SIX!!! THAT'S THE ONE! Too full on the pads, as Simranjeet makes some room, and smokes this over deep mid wicket, and finds the maximum.
9.1 Vajrala Reddy to Simranjeet Singh , wide ball. Not the start Roma needed. Angles it full and quick down the leg side.
