...Interview time...
Still Morrisville Samp Army had a lot of work to do despite pulling things back with the ball. They had a nervous start too with the bat. However, the show started with the partnership between Ibrahim Zadran and Moeen Ali. Ali particularly needs a lot of appreciation with the way he played. There was a lot of intent in his innings and along with Ibrahim Zadran first and later with Janat, Morrisville Samp Army chased down the target in some fashion. A chance to go on top but Deccan Gladiators have failed in the proceedings.
What a victory for Morrisville Samp Army and a lot of credit should be given to their bowlers as they did really well to pull things back in the back end. Deccan Gladiators were all set for a score around 150 with the way they started, it felt it was gettable but Pooran fell, they started losing wickets and then Andre Fletcher was fighting a lone battle. His fifty helped Deccan Gladiators get over 110.
