There was hardly any doubt about President XI's credentials in this game, and they indeed went on to win this game by a comfortable margin. Sarcelles did not even try to chase these runs down, and that is what let them down big time.
President XI will be pleased with their efforts both with bat and ball, and especially on the field where they picked up a lot of good catches. Sarcelles will have to go back onto the training ground and try to figure out a way to come back stronger in their next game.
It will not be easy by any means for them but Sarcelles have to find a way to pull their socks up. They cannot languish in such a poor position for long. President XI will surely end up as the happier side at the end of the game.
Jabar Ali is absent hurt, so that will be that!

A fine over from Mangal coming back into this attack. Sarcelles have long given up on the chase and appear to be heading nowhere.
