Joe Clarke Player of the Match: "I am a bit run down, to be honest. Nice to get a win after what we went through last week with players down to COVID. Good to get 4 points today. I only had a 10-minute hit at the nets and I am trying my best to do the job. I spoke to our psychologist and he said keep visualizing and keep playing your shots. Most of us sat to watch the Melbourne Derby from our room. Good to see people coming and watching our games. We will want more people to come in and watch our games. After all that we have gone through, it's great to get a win. Very relieved about it. "
An anti climatic end to this encounter and the Stars come out on the right side of the result, they take this home by five balls to spare and as many wickets. It only took Qais Ahmad one ball to kill the match, where have been all night. Joe Clarke led the batting attacking and held the innings together with his 58 ball 83, the Englishman assured that he got his team to a winning position while others fell around him. None of the other batters crossed the twenty run mark but Clarke was defiant as ever.
Strikers made a game out 140 on this track and kept chipping in with wickets at regular intervals but they were 10-15 runs short and that's what took the game away from them actually. Two wickets for the skipper, Peter Siddle and one a piece for Conway, Fawad and Rashid khan. The Strikers take another loss and remain at the bottom of the points table with time running out and their chances of making to the playoffs dimming further.
As for the Stars this is their fourth win in nine games and they are much better placed than their position in the points table will tell. They entered the contest without the services of their big stars ( Maxwell and Stoinis) and it showed. They will play the table toppers tomorrow and will hope for a more comprehensive performance. That's it from our side folks. This was Anmol Ahuja along with Baadal Pareek and Ayan Chatterjee. Until next time..Tata!!
