Match Thread: Aftab v Nazmul, 4D 1 (Simulation)

[Simulation]

87.1 Tehsin to Rana, FOUR, Well bowled, full and swinging away, Rana tries to smash it down the ground but edges it over the top of the cordon. What an incredible innings

Rana not out 52(62)

[Simulation]

4/238 from 88 (Rana 56* Oracle 57*) Lead: 26 runs

This has been a brutal display by Rana, he's realised he might aswell play his natural game and go about building a lead while Oracle is contempt just to play second fiddle and tie down one end. When Oracle reached his half century Rana still on 0.

5/260

92.3 Radicalsami to Oracle, OUT, Big wicket this! Naheyan fires one down the legside, Oracle tries to flick it away to the fineleg boundary, overbalances and AgentSmith removes the bails

Oracle st:AgentSmith b:Radicalsami 62(123)

That's one of the best stumpings you will ever see, keeping up to the stumps to the medium pacer he wasn't distracted by the bat flying infront of his face, moved quickly and took it very well down the legside, changed direction and dislodged the bails, brilliant stumping! Oracle looked like the man who would stand between Team Aftab and victory.

94.3 Tehsin to Rana, OUT, Rana advances but Tehsin sees him coming and drops it short, Rana adjusts well and tries to clear the midwicket fence, SFBD makes up for his previous error by holding the catch about a foot from the boundary. The dangerman goes

Rana c:Sports_fan_bd b:Tehsin 81(88)

That was a magnifecent innings by Rana, he showed a Pietersenesque liking for the legside and took on all the bowlers. He took control of the partnership with Oracle and looked set to hit 100 in a session. He'll be disappointed to get out but has done a lot to get Team Nazmul into a competitive position

[Simulation]

This was a great performance by Team Nazmul, they conquered the demons of the one-day game and started new, they worked as a team and fought hard for a draw. Many batsmen got good time at the crease and it was a fine effort overcoming the determined Team Aftab lineup. Team Aftab were never out of it but they did at times lose enthusiasm and they dropped a couple of catches which could prove costly. Team Aftab need 146 from 33 overs to pull off an amazing victory.

[Simulation]

TAIF will open the bowling and Team Aftab keep the same openers.

0.1 TAIF to Pundit, FOUR, Overpitched and Pundit times it beautifully through extracover for four
0.2 TAIF to Pundit, FOUR, And again! Indenticle to the last ball, Pundit's not going to mess around and TAIF needs to sort out his runup
