A stunning, dominating performance from the Cobras. They just didn't give their opposition anything with the bat, the ball or in the field.
Kashmir Budapest conceded an impossible target and came out in the second innings with stooping shoulders. The top-order batters showed no intent whatsoever. Instead, it was interesting to see some of them even leaving balls outside the off-stump with the required run-rate at 20.
When they were cleaned up, captain Rifat brought a breath of fresh air by playing his strokes. He found a partner in Masih who hit three sixes too. But once they got out, it was back to the same story of Cobra's bowlers dominating with tight lengths and KBP having no solutions.
They'll have a ton of lessons to take as the Cobras march on.
