HERO OF THE MATCH, Dawid Malan is up for a chat. He says it is good to get a win. Adds they got slowed down in the end but the experience of Patel made sure to take us over the line. Mentions Rashid was brilliant in the first innings Goes onto say it is nice to get runs and bat well for the team. Adds that this home crowd has also been amazing throughout.
United bowlers needed to bowl well given that they had a par total on the board but it wasn't to be. They needed early wickets but got their first breakthrough at 50. The momentum though still stayed with the opposition and runs were coming thick and fast for them. Matt Parkinson did provide a breakthrough later but Trent Rockets were in complete control of the innings and in the end won by 7 wickets.
Trent Rockets put on a great show! Alex Hales and David Malan were off to a good start. They scored runs at a brisk pace and stitched a fifty run stand before Hales got out. Steven Mullaney too got out early but Malan kept motoring along and brought up his fifty. After that, it was too easy for Samit and Malann to score runs freely. Malan anchored the innings well. He got out later but made sure that the team cross the victory line without any hiccups.
A comfortable win for Trent Rockets and they have managed to stay alive in the competition. It was a tremendous bowling performance at first with the ball and then they managed to chase down 136 quite easily in the end. Manchester Originals have ended their campaign with a loss and they will be disappointed with what happened.
