Paris Zalmi beat Villeneuve Super Kings by 57 runs!
What VSK will not like one bit about this chase is that they did not even attempt to do so. It appeared as if they conceded the game right from ball one and did not even feel like challenging the hegemony enjoyed by Paris Zalmi.
Zalmi were on the backfoot coming into this game on the back of a disappointing loss to Paris Knight Riders via Golden Ball but managed to dominate proceedings.
VSK gave them the opportunity to bat with complete freedom in the first innings and then did not even put up a fight with the bat in hand in the second.
This game will go down as one of the most disappointing that this bunch of players has participated in. VSK will hope that they can overcome the pain of this defeat and come back stronger in this competition.

9.6 Raza Hassan to Piratheep Gunarasa, hit back to the bowler. No runs of that and Zalmi have finally won a match today.
9.5 Raza Hassan to Piratheep Gunarasa, BUMPER!! Gunarasa misses the pull. Dot ball.
9.4 Raza Hassan to Piratheep Gunarasa, shuffles across to the leg side. Bowler goes wide in response. It is out of his reach ultimately.
9.3 Raza Hassan to Piratheep Gunarasa, PULLED FOR A MAXIMUM!! The hopes of a point are still alive for the Super Kings.
9.2 Raza Hassan to Rithurshan Gunarasa, hits it down to mid off and takes one.
9.1 Raza Hassan to Rithurshan Gunarasa, heavy length. Batter stood their with an open stance and missed the ball.
Raza Hassan, right arm medium, will bowl the final over.
With just one over to go, it is only a formality that Zalmi win this game. VSK made the error of not going for the chase right from ball one.

8.6 Sulaiman Khan to Piratheep Gunarasa, EVEN SLOWER!! Batter misses it altogether once again.
8.5 Sulaiman Khan to Piratheep Gunarasa, slower one once again. Batter is beaten.
8.4 Sulaiman Khan to Rithurshan Gunarasa, slower one. Probably the slowest of the day. Takes forever to get to the batter. Pushed away for a quick single.
Rithurshan Gunarasa, RHB, is the new batter.
8.3 Sulaiman Khan to Pirakajan Pirabakaran, CAUGHT THIS TIME!! Pulls the half tracker straight to Raza Hassan at deep midwicket. He didn't have to move an inch.
Pirakajan Pirabakaran c Raza Hassan b Sulaiman Khan 20 (12b 2x4 1x6)
8.2 Sulaiman Khan to Pirakajan Pirabakaran, EVEN BIGGER!! Once again, he was waiting with his weight on to the backfoot. Connects nicely and she sails over the square leg fence.
8.1 Sulaiman Khan to Pirakajan Pirabakaran, SIX! Short ball and it has been slapped. The batter had his front leg cleared already. From the meat of the bat and over wide long on.
Sulaiman Khan, right arm medium, is the new bowler.
VSK have as good as lost this game by not even attempting the chase. Zalmi are on the ascendancy and will want to wrap this match up.
