It wasn't a tough run by any means and it didn't turn out to be one either! Just that Royal Eagles lost four wickets along the way. But as expected, they were able to pick up victory with the bonus point.
And would you believe it, the biggest contributor for them was extras! As many as 19 runs were given away as extras in the innings. Catches and run outs were missed too by Kashmir Budapest. When you're defending a low score, those are almost a strict no-no.
So with this win, the first points of Group B get registered. Royal Eagles will be up next in action to try and pick up yet another win.
6.3 Ziaul Saykat to Arvind Kumar, SIX RUNS TO END IT! ROYAL EAGLES WIN WITH THE BONUS POINT! Short around off-stump. A flat-batted shot on the back foot over long-off for a maximum!
6.2 Ziaul Saykat to Fayaz Khan, short on middle-stump. Pulled around to deep mid-wicket off the back foot for a single.
6.1 Ziaul Saykat to Fayaz Khan, FOUR! Full and wide outside off-stump. Slammed over the cover area off the middle of the bat for a boundary!

4.6 Ziaul Saykat to Fayaz Khan, good length ball on off-stump. Tapped to the short cover area gently for no run.
4.5 Ziaul Saykat to Sachin Chauhan, GOT HIM! Good length ball on off-stump. Heaved on the up but flat over the in-field. Long-on then comes into play and takes yet another smart catch near the rope!
