A complete performance from GGV. They put up an excellent total on the board and then defended in a professional manner. Faisal gave a bit of hope to PZ by starting the first over on the front foot. But once he got out, things fell apart thick and fast. His partner, Patel, remained stranded at the other end as Amjad, Ahmadzai and Gujjar came and went by showing a bit of intent but not troubling the scorers much.
Manikbowe ended Patel's misery which led to a small partnership between Khan and Waqas which added a bit of respectability to PZ's score. But as they were also taken out by GGV's excellently disciplined bowling attack, questioned reappeared for PZ's batting capabilities despite a good performance last match.

9.6 Sandeep Singh to Bati Saqib, again and a swing and a miss. On a length a shade outside off and Saqib loses his shape on that occasion. Grigny Vipers win.
9.5 Sandeep Singh to Bati Saqib, fuller length well outside off and that has to be reloaded.
9.5 Sandeep Singh to Bati Saqib, fuller-length delivery a shade outside off, Saqib goes slashing at that and gets beaten.
Bati Saqib, RHB, comes out and he's not ready in time so PZ will get a five-run penalty
