Milestone
That concludes the presentation and that also wraps up our coverage of this game. Thanks for tuning in. Join us tomorrow as table-toppers Canterbury takes on Otago. For now, this is Megh Mandaliya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Ayan Chatterjee, and scorer/analyst Raju Khariya. See you soon!
Jeet Raval (Northern Brave Captain): "Yes, it was tough going. A couple of partnerships were built and the way Freddie finished it off was good to see. Yes, it does give us confidence and most of the group has done well. We want to play the moments and not go too far away and look too far ahead. Tough pitch and credit to the ground staff to get the ground ready and we got a game in. I guess we have to understand the conditions, and what is on offer and adapt to them. We have to reassess everything. Yes, thank you very much."
Tom Bruce (Central Stags Captain): "Yes, tonight was disappointing. We knew it was always going to be tough. It is the nature of the T20. You can keep going with the momentum but it is all gonna fall out if you're not consistent. We were in a really good position but the two games against Otago really hit us. We played some good cricket. We still have two competitions to try and win. So, it is not all doom and gloom."
Frederick Walker (Gamechanger of the Match): "Not much of a secret. I had my plans and stuck to it. Took on the spinners and against Doug, it was all about instinct. Yes, my job was to be positive and kept it simple. Backed me to hit which is in my zone and got the game done with overs to spare. The bowlers were good. Scott was good and the others adjusted well to the conditions. It was not an easy wicket, but glad we got the job done today."
2:22 PM IST | Northern Brave has defeated the Central Stags by 4 wickets in a low-scoring affair and with this victory, the Jeet Raval-led Brave has ensured a place in the Elimination Final. The Central Stags, however, have been eliminated from the race.
In pursuit of a below-par total of 111, the Northern Brave openers started on an electrifying note by striking 14 runs off the first over. However, it wasn’t long enough before Doug Bracewell attained the opening breakthrough by dismissing Tim Seifert 0(2). Following Seifert’s wicket, the Brave deviated from the course and lost three more wickets in the powerplay.
Katene Clarke 15(12) played some good shots before he was outwitted by Jayden Lennox and Bracewell further pushed them on the backfoot by scalping two crucial wickets in quick succession. Skipper Jeet Raval then joined forces with Scott Kuggeleijn and deserted the sinking ship of Brave. The duo adjusted to the sluggish surface and glued up a partnership of 47 runs.
The southpaw Raval played the aggressor and tried to take the game down the wire but was dismissed on 49(35) with 4 fours and 2 maximums to his credit. Frederick Walker, the next man in, completed the proceedings with a quickfire 25(11). Doug Bracewell was the pick of the bowlers for Stags and claimed three scalps by leaking only 19 runs.
Earlier in the day, after being invited to bat first, Central Stags registered 110/7 on the board. The Brave bowlers were indomitable in the powerplay as they scalped four breakthroughs by leaking only 23 runs. The pacers were excellent to exploit the conditions to their favor and the extra bounce made things more toilsome for the batters. Experienced Ross Taylor then joined forces with Josh Clarkson and resurrected the Stags innings. The right-hander Clarkson netted 45(35), including 4 fours and 2 maximums, and gave the bowlers something to uphold. Scott Kuggeleijn made the most of the conditions and ended his stint with the figures of 3/14. Stick around for the post-match presentation!
