So, a lot to look forward to, and please also do join us for the build-up for all the fixtures lined up tomorrow. Until then, take care and goodbye!
A few words with the winning skipper - Zak Crawley says it was an unbelievable game. Feels Manchester Super Giants posted an above-par total but says he always had confidence in his batting line-up. Crawley feels it was still an average wicket, with the slower balls gripping in the surface, which made the strokeplay all the more remarkable. He admits he doesn't quite know how the ball kept flying to the boundary and describes Mitchell Marsh's innings as phenomenal, adding that he has never seen power quite like that. Reflecting on the campaign, Crawley says the opening defeat was a tough one to take, but beating Manchester Super Giants is a massive result for the team.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Mitchell Marsh gets the award for his power-packed knock of 63 off 26 balls up top, which really helped his side get ahead in the game. Marsh says it has been a good start for the team and calls it a great win for the lads. Smiling, he says it was a very good wicket, although a touch slower than the one used the other day. Marsh says his approach was to play proper cricket shots. He credits the Super Giants for bowling well in the powerplay but is pleased that they stuck at it. He adds that having Zak Crawley at the other end made a big difference, with their partnership proving to be the key to the chase. Looking back at the surface, Marsh says he doesn't think it changed too much during the game. He finishes by saying Headingley is one of the best grounds to bat at once a batter gets set and is delighted that his side got over the line.
Sunrisers' aggression prevails - Yes, there was a shift in the conditions, and the cooler evening conditions helped the batting side, but the batters of Sunrisers Leeds played a major role as they tamed a very highly-rated Manchester Super Giants bowling attack. Mitchell Marsh came out all guns blazing and yet again seemed to be in the form of his life. Ryan Rickelton, too, got a good start this time but couldn't kick on. Then came the 92-run stand between Marsh and skipper Zak Crawley, which broke the back of the chase, after which Harry Brook came in and had some fun, hitting the ball to all parts of the ground. Crawley remained unbeaten on 56, and Brook also made a quickfire unbeaten 42 off 17 to seal the win. With the ball, the Super Giants' pacers bowled with a lot of venom, but the quicker it came in, the longer it went over the ropes. Sonny Baker did show some class, and that yorker he bowled to get rid of Marsh was one of the balls of the tournament. The spinners really struggled to make any sort of an impact, though, and they were well beaten.
The crucial change in conditions - It is generally a very true surface at Headingley, but it did seem on the slower side in the first innings. Once the artificial lights came on, it slid on nicely, and the Sunrisers batters were simply relentless. We saw the Manchester top four fire with the bat as well, but batting was certainly easier in the second half of the innings as the likes of Jos Buttler and Heinrich Klaasen accelerated quickly. Nathan Ellis bowled well in the first innings, picking up a couple of wickets, but was a bit unlucky as well.
Sunrisers ice a high-scoring affair - What an evening out for the Headingley crowd as they have witnessed the Men's side thrash their rivals from Manchester in style. It was a game filled with big hits and some fast bowling, but in the end, the hosts had enough firepower to gun down 182 runs with plenty of balls to spare.
