That's it for today from Auckland victory here for Northen Brave as it was a complete display of teamwork. They beat Auckland Aces very easily here by 6 wickets. GREAT bowling from all the Northern bowlers. Anurag was the pick of bowlers with 3 massive wickets in his bag with a figure of 3/14.
coming to Northern batting Seifert played a gentle inning keeping one end secure and scoring run according to the game and that's what a team expects from their senior and experienced players and so did he. Clarke played well for his 28 too. That opening partnership of 65 between Clarke and Seifert closed all the doors for Auckland Aces.
And for Auckland Aces little positives were that 10th wicket partnership between Ferguson and Lister of 31 they showed some shots and took the team from 61/9 to 92 all out. Coming to their bowling was that they bowled 11 wides and that's not a good thing even in a high-scoring match and they bowled this line today with such a low score and thus will be a serious work for them to look onto. Little good bowling from Sean who took 2/16 but still wasn't good enough to stop Northern Brave. So plenty to look forward to for Auckland Aces to go into the next match.
A great display of teamwork and cricket by Northern Brave as they started well after winning the toss. Their bowlers were right on the money from ball one taking wickets early on. They kept picking up wickets at regular intervals. Their bowling performance helped them set a platform for the batters to come out in middle and just play decent cricket to get their team home. Overall a great bowling display from Northen Brave especially from Anurag Verma who took 3 crucial wickets.
Anurag Verma was the star of today's match with 3 wickets for 13 runs in 3 overs.
The Northern Knight have won this match by 6 wickets.
