Daehan Super Kings also elected to bowl first against Jaguar CC in the first game on Sunday and Sunil Samtani had a point to prove against his league team as he went about anchoring the Jaguar innings. The other batsmen also chipped in with decent contributions, but they couldn’t force the pace when needed and the loss of 3 wickets to Manickavasagan further compounded their problems. The Jaguars could only muster up 121 in their twenty overs and would have felt they were 20-30 runs short.

Kirubasankar anchored the DSK reply in superb fashion as he stepped on the accelerator after seeing out a good spell from Mukesh Khetan. His unbeaten 71 of just 44 balls meant that despite losing a few wickets, Daehan Super Kings could breeze to the target with 7 overs to spare.
