[RESULT] PPCL | Twenty20 Cup | Semi Final 2 | Misbah United CC v Loose Cannons CC

[last_knight]

We need to push RRR to 12+

[Geil]

There won’t be because of the high deterioration...

high deterioration brings back memories of misbah v hawks odi SF, Hawks chased it in ODI, if an odi cant have a bigger deterioration impact then I dont expect a T20 to have any but then again its sim it can do anything it want without any logic

No team has ever opted to Bat First at Sir Misbah ul Haq Stadium.
Here it's always significant advantage to the chasing side. More so in case of MU courtesy their strong batting.

like hawks hope we end up on winning side, then the story of finals looks very dramatic if it happens, PB V LC, PBs revenge of FC title loss or along that line

[Geil]

the most expensive bowlers of cannons innings me & @Smbhayi going to defend 50 runs off 4 overs

Just like Tigers, LO favorites MU will most probably end up trophy-less

I hope next over is a big one so we can end this round with another nail-biter.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Loose Cannons CC will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Loose Cannons CC proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

With the result out now, I am retiring from PPCL

PPers will remember me as Faf Du Plessis of PPCL, 3 SFs and master choke in every one of them

Captaining/vc or making any plans and strategies in PPCL is a very difficult job and honestly speaking I would suck in captaining PPCL team, and you qualified three times its an applauding job

Maybe MISBAH is being a jinx with SF losses

MU reminds me of somewhat Royal challengers Bangalore of some IPL season who topped the tables and where unstoppable but lost in SF

[last_knight]

Had this feeling will deliver either with ball or bat.

Boost justified ; Runs, Economical spell and Run Out of Super Bat

[Geil]

Great Win.
Congrats Team Cannons.

dil to na toro bhaijaan. 1% chance to dain hamain. Kia pata Upset ho jay

Actually, I had a proper brainfade and literally meant the opposite! I'm in OD mode (since we're out of T20s lol) and what I said what has held true in that format, but in T20s, batting first has been more successful and has been our go-to strategy as well.

That's why I'm actually not too surprised to see you win here.

Congrats guys @last_knight @Smbhayi @Geil - looking forward to seeing you in the final!

Commiserations @TrentDevil @Batman - you guys were fantastic in LOIs and it was a pleasure playing alongside you!

[Moh@n]

So now Cannons have a shot at another silverware! That's not fair

Congratulations @last_knight @Smbhayi @Geil

Hard luck @TrentDevil @AFM @Batman.
