DV Ultimate XI just could not stand up to the challenges set to them by the bowlers of the Budapest Blinders. They played poor cricket all round, with their batters throwing their wickets away as and when they pleased.
The bowlers of the Blinders were on point throughout the innings, led by the ever-dependable Sandeep Mohandas and young leg spinner Maanav Nayak.
The Blinders will feel extremely pleased with this showing of theirs but DV Ultimate XI will think that they need to do much better. They had a poor day out on the field earlier in the day, and that translated into their batting performance as well.
The Blinders were the better side overall, and managed to defeat their opponents by a massive margin. We did not quite expect it, but this game turned out to be rather lopsided.
9.5 Abbas Ghani to Ziaul Saykat, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! It's all over as Budapest Blinders thump DV Ultimate XI and remain unbeaten in the tournament, what a team they are turning out to be and the one to beat as well. Full and straight, Saykat attempts a reverse sweep and misses, rattles the stumps.
