Commentry
That is all from this game. The second match of the day sees Delhi Bulls take on Chennai Brave Jaguars shortly. Switch the tabs and join us there as the build up has already started. Cheers!
Nicholas Pooran says the day game presents different conditions and the guys executed the plan really well. Tells everyone wants to contribute and hopes he can be consistent after today's innings. Ends by saying T10 is easy for a player like Jos Buttler. Tells he is happy with how things are falling into place.
Richard Gleeson wins the Player of the Match award. He says they learnt from the less game and it was all about execution. Adds he has played a lot of T10 now and he tries to take the game on. Shares experience helps a lot to recover after a loss.
Nicholas Pooran promoted himself up the order. After a lean patch in the past, he went bang right from the start and it came well off his bat today. It was a no nonsense innings from Deccan Gladiators who came out all guns blazing and chased it down without breaking a sweat.
Nicholas Pooran has got everything right in this game. On a batting friendly pitch, he chose to bowl first and his bowling unit did justice to his decision. Maheesh Theekshana, Richard Gleeson were just brilliant with the new ball. Bangla Tigers didn't play the moving ball well and once they lost the top five, it looked more than impossible for them to get a par total.
Proper hammering from Deccan Gladiators and it looks impossible for Bangla Tigers to make the playoffs from hereon. A must win game for Bangla Tigers but the margin of loss filtered their chance further more. Deccan Gladiators on the other hand have qualified for the playoffs!
