Men In Blue win by 9 wickets with 15 balls to spare!
Whatever little hop Barcelona International had blew up in smoke in this innings! Men In Blue made really light work of the run chase and finished the game well ahead of time to pick up yet another win this season.
Neither the bowling, nor the fielding and also not the captaincy could pick up in this innings. Anything ever so slightly loose got put away for runs. The lowest economy rate was 14.00! Would you believe it!
Ishan Patel brought up a whirlwind half-century and none of the three batters struck at less than 205 runs per 100 balls! It was one of the most convincing wins of the season.
With this victory, Men In Blue assert themselves even firmly at the top while Barcelona International stay rock bottom in the table.
7.3 Kieran O'Donnell to Naresh Kumar, FOUR! Top-edge, but that'll do the job! Low, dipping full toss, Kumar had a swing across the line, the ball took the leading edge, sprung off the bat over the keeper's head, and made its way to the ropes behind him. Men in Blue get the job done once again, claiming this contest by 9 wickets with 2 and a half overs to spare!
7.2 Kieran O'Donnell to Naresh Kumar, on a good length outside off, Kumar kindly lets it through to the keeper
7.1 Kieran O'Donnell to Naresh Kumar, FOUR! Short of a length on off, Kumar cuts this one right past the gap at backward point! 4 more needed...
Kieran ODonnell, left-arm medium, is into the attack.
Men In Blue are on course to finish things off in this over itself! Only 8 more runs remain for them. Ishan Patel gets to his 50 in only 12 deliveries!
