A complete domination by the UCCB. In the last match, they got off to a similar start against a similar target. However, Satheesan's wicket inside the powerplay derailed them as Rohit went into his shell, inviting tons of pressure on himself and his teammates.
This game, Satheesan took no chances whatsoever. Despite Rohit firing from the other end, just after the powerplay ended, Satheesan went bonkers and collected tons of runs with boundaries, making sure the momentum continued even against the spin bowlers.
UCCB have registered a second consecutive win here and despite lacking a bit in the bowling department, are looking the team to beat.

3.6 Shakeel Ahmed to Rohit Kumar, full on the pads here. The pick up over mid-wicket gets missed this time. No leg-bye taken.

3.4 Shakeel Ahmed to Rohit Kumar, WIDE down the leg-side here with the fuller delivery! Time to reload.

Shakeel Ahmed, right-arm medium, comes into the attack
What a magnificent all-rounder Satheesan is. The powerplay has been cooked and gobbled up. The second over was decent but this one was really poor. Will UCCB continue this assault?
