KCH vs VG

VFB Gelsenkirchen 80/0 in 6.4 overs
D Madanagopal 33*(19) 
Ace Pruss 33*(22)

VFB have made really light work of this run chase here and they've coasted home to a 10 wicket win here. It has been an outstanding batting effort from them and they've kept their chances of going into finals day, well and truly alive here. 

The innings was started off with a bang by Ace Pruss who got off the blocks really quick and got them to 40 in the powerplay itself. Once they had brought down the equation to half there was obviously going to be no chance for the Koln Challengers to make a comeback into the game. Madanagopal started to accelerate once the powerplay was done and he ended up outscoring Pruss in the end  as they cruised to a win. 

The bowlers had a tough time as they couldn't stick to their lines and lengths and were taken to the cleaners. None of the bowlers could produce an over which went for less than 6 and it reflects a sad picture. It's been an embarrassing loss for them and the lack of runs on the board played a key reason behind that. 

6.4 Harsimrat to Ace Pruss, full and outside off swinging away, Pruss looks to drive but misses. The keeper fails to collect it cleanly as well, allowing the single. 

6.3 Harsimrat to Dhamodharan Madanagopal, nails the yorker on the middle stump line, Madanagopal gets an inside-edge as he digs it out into the fine leg region for a single. 

6.2 Harsimrat to Dhamodharan Madanagopal, short and outside off, over the batter's head and the keeper, who's standing up, misses and is struck on the helmet. The batters run a single. 

6.1 Harsimrat to Dhamodharan Madanagopal, FOUR! SHOT! Short and outside off, Madanagopal rocks onto the back-foot and slashes it away through the backward point region for a boundary! 

Harsimrat Harsimrat, right arm medium, comes into the attack .

Another really good over for Gelsenkirchen here and they're doing it easily at the moment. They're not taking a lot of risks and are looking to cash into the bad deliveries. 

5.5 Naule Aravind to Dhamodharan Madanagopal, SIX! BANG! Too short and on the body, Madanagopal rocks onto the back-foot and sends that packing over the square leg region for a huge maximum! 

5.1 Naule Aravind to Ace Pruss, tossed up and outside off, Pruss goes big but ends up slicing it high in the air. The cover fielder runs back and throws himself at the ball but puts it down. 

Naule Aravind, right arm medium, comes into the attack. 

We're at the halfway stage in this run chase and the batting side are coasting at the moment. They will be looking to get this done as quickly as they possibly can here.
