Until next time, take care and keep enjoying this beautiful sport. This is Rvel Zahid, signing off on behalf of Ranjith.

Moises Henriques, WF Captain: "30 off the 40 overs went to the plan. We could have got 10-15 runs more with the way Shorty set us off. The way they batted in their last five overs was opposite to us. Other than Bravo and Shorty, the others didn't find any sort of timing. We could have executed better and from the captaincy point of view, could have looked at a few more options."

Faf du Plessis, TSK Captain: "It was one of those wickets where it was not easy to bat on. Matthew Short was one guy who made it look easy. It was brilliant to see DJ Bravo bringing out the calypso flavor and playing that way. We lost too many wickets in the powerplay, when you are chasing such a target you need a good start."

So close and yet so far, the stupendous hitting from DJ Bravo nearly got his team over the line. Once he settled in, he completely turned the tables on WAF and reminded us once again of his champion status. His incredible hitting was a treat to watch, but Nortje held his nerve in the final over and successfully defended 26 runs.

Bravo, batting at No.7, attacked the opposition and gave WAF a run for their money. However, the early stumble made the target a challenging one for TSK. Ultimately, it came down to fine margins. If the top-order had provided a bit more support, the outcome could have been different. With the big guns failing and tottering at 50/5, they left too much to be done for Santner and Bravo.

Hosein showcased brilliance with his cunning spin tactics, while Jansen effectively mixed up his deliveries and applied pressure on the batters. Saurabh Netravalkar maintained an economy rate of less than six runs per over, adding to the pressure on the opposition in the first 10 overs when the innings seemed stagnant. It was only after Bravo settled in and launched his assault that WAF started to feel the heat.

Afeef: "This would've been Bravo's highest T20 score if the stats in this tournament were counted"

Ranjit: "Today Bravo almost did what he did for CSK a bit more than 5 yrs ago. "

Ram: "I think someone commented about this before but Texas playing just like Chennai. Using the dhoni and Fleming method of getting close to the target. In fact, Dhoni has spoken about this before!!"

Maurice: "Hi Rvel, when do you think the MLC can have a complete home and away format - where each of the six teams has a home ground. I think 2028, when the Olympics happen in LA, but hopefully sooner!!" While 2028, coinciding with the Olympics in LA, seems like a potential milestone, I agree that USA cricket should strive for it to happen sooner and have more grounds. I think for the cricket to truly flourish and gain widespread popularity, it needs to become ingrained in the public consciousness. It is crucial to focus on grassroots development, as the sport won't reach its full potential if it remains limited to the expat community. There is indeed a lot of work to be done at the grassroots level to create a solid foundation for the game to thrive. By investing in grassroots cricket programs, fostering local talent, and engaging the wider public, USA can pave the way for the MLC to become a truly popular league.

Abhiram Manchi : "Somebody please remind me. Why did this man retire again?" He should perhaps take inspiration from Tamim Iqbal; DJ is still striking the ball superbly and could easily fit into any team!

Farrukh T: "TSK missing the trick of not sending Mohsin in earlier as I have seen him bat and could have made the difference!!"

Ball hits Coetzee on the gloves and he is getting a bit of medical attention as we have a bit of delay

39 off 12 needed; can it be done?

Kaboom, he goes big again! That was 106 meters six into the top tier!
