Presentation coming up...
If we thought New York Strikers bowlers were too wayward, Northern Warriors bowlers gave the same impression. They too gave away freebies and were not able to handle the pressure. With so many runs to play with, we expected New York Strikers to give a good fight however Eoin Morgan was too stubborn to win the battle.
What a chase! Credit to Morgan, he single-handedly won this game for his team. This was clearly an above-par score but not for Morgan as he played a gem of an innings and batted throughout to take his team over the line. Right till the end, he believed and once again showed why he is one of the best finisher in the world, still. One of the best matches of this season and New York Strikers take two points.
