Commentary

That brings us to the end of the coverage of this fantastic encounter between Otago Volts and Northern Brave. It was Northern Brave's day today as they sneaked away with a victory. Do join us for all the upcoming games from all around the globe. For now, it's me Hitesh Peddurwar signing off along with my co-commentator Tugral Azmi and scorer/analyst Raju Khariya. Until then stay safe..

Jeet Raval (Northern Brave Skipper): "I am really happy with the performance of my squad. As I said that I want to restrict the opposition to low scores, we were able to do that today and finally, our account of victory opened. I hope to keep this performance going during the super smash season."

Hamish Rutherford(Otago Volts Skipper): "We didn't adjust to the condition well, we thought it would be a belter of the surface but we were wrong. Hopefully, we will make a good adjustment tonight and will be back tomorrow. It's a T20 cricket so we were looking to get off to a flier start but we failed and lost the wickets early."

Mitchell Santner (Player of the match): "It's a good day for us that today we have won our victory in this season. Clarke performed well, kept the ball on the right line, and was successful in taking the wickets of the opposition inside the powerplay. I am getting more opportunities to bat, so my batting skills are getting better."
