That's it from our coverage of the 2nd game in the Legends League Cricket season 4! It is becoming a trend to bat first and win the game as shown in the 2 results we have achieved on the same surface so far.

Tillakaratne Dilshan (India Tigers Captain): "[on the start] First game is really important for any tournament. Credit goes to the boys.
[on Shahzad] We planned to get 140. We had good spinners. This pitch suited them. We knew a couple of overs could get us back in the game. We didn't bowl too well in the first 10. We struggled at one stage but Pawan batted really well."

Asghar Afghan (Royal Riders Punjab Captain): (On the disappointing result despite a good start) âWe are disappointed with the result. The start was very good, but somehow we couldnât carry it forward. As we said earlier, the match was in our hands at one stage. On this pitch, the batter who gets set against spin can win the match because there was a lot of top spin, and it was difficult for a new batter.
(On the opposition bowling performance) Mendis bowled very well, no doubt about that, and their fielding was also very good. The momentum was in our hands at one point, but once they held their lines well, we couldnât come back into the game.
(On Mohammad Shahzadâs innings) Mohammad Shahzad played a great innings. With the new ball, the ball was coming nicely onto the bat. We told Shahzad to score as many runs as possible because later on it becomes difficult to bat as the ball starts gripping.
(On losing the match despite a strong effort) Every team makes their plans. Shahzad batted very well, but they won the match. This is cricket. In the next game, InshaâAllah, we will try not to repeat these mistakes.â

W OUT! TAKEN! DONE AND DUSTED! Much fuller and around middle, with the pace taken off. Anureet gets forward and swings for the hills. Gets deceived by the change of pace, and also, his bottom hand comes off. The ball goes high in the air off the toe end of the bat. Dilshan, from long on, runs across to his right a bit and settles underneath it. Pouches it and manages to hold his grip despite tumbling down onto the ground. WHAT A TURNAROUND AFTER THAT EARLY ASSAULT OF SHAHZAD FOR INDIA TIGERS! THEY HAVE DEFEATED ROYAL RIDERS PUNJAB BY 20 RUNS!!!
