It's Here!!!!!!!!!!!

By
The day is finally here. We have been waiting for the Indian T20 League to begin for a while now. The excitement, the passion, and the tension in the air are almost palpable. This league has been successful from day one. It might be a surprise to a few cynics here and there. Here’s a list of reasons as to why even on the cusp of the tenth edition, the event is just as popular. Probably more.

  • In India, Cricket is like a religion. We have our own Gods in Sachin Tendulkar and the likes. Sachin Tendulkar has his own temple. This league is a way to celebrate the religion. Something like what Diwali is to the Hindus.
  • The creation, innovation and the magnitude of the game only get bigger and better. This season, we have eight opening ceremonies. That is unprecedented.
  • The rules are exciting.  The game is challenging. A lot is at stake.
  • The money involved. Oh, the money. I think that pretty much sums it all, doesn’t it?
  • We, Fantain, want the fans also to win something out of all this as well. We have our Fantasy App that lets you, the fans, pick your dream team. It does not matter who your idol is and which country he plays for. If you like him, he is on your team. Isn’t that really something?


The tenth season has so much more to look forward to. It is two months of non-stop action. Some of the greatest players in the world come together to play. The opening ceremony involves several big Bollywood stars. There is no shortage of action or drama in the world of T20 League.

Even the cynics cannot refuse now, can they?

India-NZ. As it happened.

By
And the series is leveled. Well. We saw the ODI series level. The third and final match was more than a blast. Despite having a ton of runs on the scoreboard, the match and the series could have gone either way. That was the best part of it. Course it was a world of entertainment for all cricket fans. Honestly even a third party not emotionally vested in the two teams could watch and appreciate the demonstration of fine cricket. Now the T20 series is looking the same way. India won the first match and NZ came back strong and hard in the second match. The match deciding the fate of the tournament is on 7th November. Boy are we interested or what. Let’s see what happened in the second match now.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat. A supreme not out 58 ball 109 runs by Colin Munro took New Zealand to the path of destruction. I mean look at the strike rate - 187.93. That is a mind blowing number. The other batsmen didn’t do that bad either. Martin Guptil’s 45 runs from 41 deliver…

Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultans - Post Match Blog.

By
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Ain't it true. Newcomers Sultans thrash Peshawar Zalmi by 7 wickets in PSL 2018 opener sending shockwaves through the league. Being a defending champion did take a toll on Peshawar Zalmi. Not easy walking into a tournament with everyone looking at you assuming you will win.


When the Sultans came in to bat, they had an early upset when they lost the opener for a duck. With a target of 152, it took the experienced Kumara Sangakkara to set the ship on course towards the target. He was calm and composed as he has been throughout his international career. Singles and doubles. And planned boundaries. By the time he was out, caught behind, the team was fairly stable. Shoaib Malik’s captain knock along with Kieron Pollard finished the match in style.
Earlier in the day, Peshawar Zalmi came in to bat. Apart from Mohammad Hafeez’s 59, with twenty-something runs from Dwayne Smith and Darren Sammy; the rest of the batsmen barely contributed. Like I s…
