So that will be it from this game on Day 1 at Dreux. The next match begins is just a few minutes from now. Do switch tabs to catch us again! For now, this is the pair of Mohul and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda.
It was a see-saw kind of an innings that could have gone either way, but in the end, it was the partnership between Kapilraj and Logarjan for the 4th wicket that did the job and how!
The duo put on 68 runs and made sure that their team picked up first points with a win at the first time of asking in the ECN! The second last over from Thivain proved to be the difference as it went for 19 runs and took the momentum completely away from the Vipers.
Fielding needed to be better, but Grigny Vipers were not all that convincing in that department. They will have to get back stronger in this case.
