MIE were as clincial as they could be today. The Warriors slip to their third loss in as many matches while the Pollard-led were comprehensive from the word go. TKC hit a half-century but other than it was one-way traffic in the first half of the encounter today. The chase was comfortable from them as Waseem and Smeed laid the foundation with 45 runs in the powerplay and post that Pooran and Pollard were exquisite with their six-hitting. Thats it from me, Sarthak S Karkhanis today. Stay tuned to ESPNcricinfo for the coverage of ILT20 and all the other cricketing action from around the globe!
The franchise has shown again why they are tipped in as favourites to win this league.
