This was a practice match played with the leading team in the league to get the required match practice for our team. It turned out that this match also highlighted some chinks in our Armour which will be useful if all the members of the team apply themselves accordingly and learn from there.
Like they say, "Mental toughness wins half the Game", turns out to be true now at the onset of the Knock-off stage, and this is where the playing XI will have to focus.
We lost this match but got a good feel of the conditions and quality of teams that we shall be facing from now in the tournament. Though we almost turned the match to our kitty, the spark in the team was missing right from the start. There were batting sparkles in the form of Adi, who played a wonderful innings but the overall team performance was low from the potential that is seen normally on the field.
This will surely give Anand and Kalyan to rethink and re-align a lot of things in the fielding positioning and batting order.
There is no way we want to lose from here, after all the hard work put in the league matches and dominating most part of it.
Thunders : 117 all out in 19.4 overs
Badshahs : 118/9 in 17.5 overs (scores are approx.. )
