Sixth consecutive win for candors

Though this is our first match in the tournament, for Candor’s it’s our sixth consecutive win.

The strength is not only our top order batsmen and discipline bowling, it's also our stylish specialist wicket keeper – Prasanth.

As a bowler I am free to try different things when he is behind the stumps. Even if I angle down the legs I am sure there will be a pair of gloves to collect it. The batsmen will think twice before leaving the crease with keeper standing up. This adds a lot of pressure on the batsman and helps us contain them.

Sajid and Razak opened up with a quick fire 16 runs in the first over. This is a dream start for any team in the tournament. Sajid played quite sensibly and fell short of a well deserved century.
This is top order cricket man.
If we look at the innings (defending) 12-16 over gave away most of the runs. This is when we had an attacking field set and when we needed a few wickets. But I think this is quite often in any format of the game after the break the scoring rate goes up. We need to have a plan for these overs. The idea of falling back to a defensive field set in the last four overs really paid of. We didn’t aim for wickets instead simply contained them. This is a credit to all the fielders considering the opposition was a batting force.

We attacked as a team; we kept the momentum going till the last ball even when this day could easily be the hottest day of the season.
