Commentary

Msida Warriors beat Mater Dei by 25 runs
Rocky Dianish 37(17) | Azeem Sathi 17(8)
Tom Thomas 1-4(1) | Venkat Rao 1-20(2)

The Warriors did a double over Mater Dei. The batters let the team down for Mater Dei in both matches while chasing a total. The top order fell cheaply and a needless run out of Venkat Rao changed the complexion of the match. He was trying to rebuild the innings with Sathi but that run out came at a crucial time and then, Sathi's wicket shattered all the hopes of Mater Dei. We have two more matches to go before we wrap up the proceedings. Now, get ready for Gozo vs Southern Crusaders as the match start at 5:30 pm IST. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Mohul signing off
