A one sided clash at the bowlers' graveyard in Vancouver! Though we saw our first 200+ total and an innings from the future by Max Chu! More of such brutal batting coming up? Let's see!
On this aggressive note I, Manan Mehta, would like to sign off on behalf of my co-commentator Hiren and our scorer and analyst Asraj Khan. See ya later!!!
Dwaine Pretorius (Vancouver Kings Captain): "Pretty happy with the performance. The hattrick (on the best part of the game). The batting has been excellent. The top order is in good form. Max was brilliant at the top. Thank you."
Shakib Al Hasan (Montreal Tigers Captain): "I think we did not start well with the ball and then things did not go right. After first 3-4 overs they were 80 runs! The momentum was never with us.
We got a few wickets but the eventual score was a massive one! Yes, we could bat in two ways to chase this total. Either do what we did today or actually chase it down.
You just have to go hard. We have a big game tomorrow and our focus will be on that!"
Max Chu (Player of the Match): "It was not in my mind (on the 100). Pretty happy with our performance. I was just trying to keep a stable base and play accordingly. Thank you."
Player of the Match: Max Chu

9.6 Buttar to Currie
0 A dot to finish. Short of a length ball, outside off, Currie comes down the track and looks to pull it away but misses and is beaten. A massive win for the Vancouver Knights.
9.5 Buttar to A Patel
1b BYES! Shorter and around off, Patel looks to cut but misses and is beaten. The keeper fails to grab it cleanly and the batters are quick to take a bye.
