Editor's Pick (ODI): England - Australia

By
Five ODI series lined up for the two biggies this month. The first one took place on the 14th. England
came out on top winning by 5 wickets. A high scoring match, the Aussies hit a massive 304 runs in
50 overs. England hit the target with an over and a delivery to spare. It was a mind blowing performance, simply put. Jason Roy, the man of the match, broke a few records on the way. -
Highest individual score by an Eng batsman
Highest individual score at the MCG
Highest individual score by a visiting batsman in a run chase in Australia
Highest individual score in a run chase against Australia


This is England’s highest successful run-chase in Australia. No better way to start a five match ODI
series, is there?


This was the playing squad for the first OD


Austraia :Aaron Finch, David Warner, Tim Paine (wk), Steven Smith (c), Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Starc,
Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Adam Zampa, Marcus Stoinis, Andrew Tye Bench:Cameron White,
Josh Hazlewood, Jhye Richardson
England :Liam Plunkett, Eoin Morgan (c), Adil Rashid, Jos Buttler (wk), Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy,
Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Mark Wood
Bench:David Willey, Sam Billings, Jake Ball, Tom Curran
This match takes place at The Gabba, Brisbane. With a highest score of 324 and a highest successful
chase of 309 (both by Australia), they will look forward to turning the tables. Aaron Finch will want to
make his century count this time.
The winners of the first ODI had Aaron Finch, Jason Roy and Liam Plunket right on top of their list.
Pat Cummins followed right behind. Though Jason Roy walked away with all the glory, Aaron Finch
topped our Fantasy Points score with a massive 165. Naming them captain and vice captain
respectively is the icing on your Fantasy Cricket Cake. I had named Aaron Finch as my VC and I did
really well indeed.


My lineup
Wicket-Keeper
Tim Paine
Jos Buttler
Bowlers
Pat Cummins
Liam Plunkett
Mitchell Starc
Batsmen
Jason Roy
Joe Root
Aaron Finch
David Warner
Marcus Stoinis
Mitchell Marsh

I have joined not just the paid pool, but the free pool as well. Go on, try both.

Chennai beats Mumbai and clinch thriller

By
It is not just about coming back. It is about the impact you make in the process. And Chennai team knows how to with a bang.  The Chennai team beat the home team by one wicket in what was an absolute sit-at-the-end-of-the-chair thriller. It was one of the best chases the tournament has seen and it most definitely won't be the last. The player who made the difference in the end - Jadhav - literally came back from the dead after retiring hurt to take his team to the finish line by hitting the ball in style with a six and a four.  Batting on one leg and playing an absolutely unbelievable shot, this player leveled the scores first with a six and finished the match with a four.  Key Points  MI has never won their opener since 2013. This was Chennai's first win against MI in an opener of this T20 League  DRS used in the league for the first time  Bravo : It was a great team effort. I want to dedicate this win to the CSK fan, they have waited long for
