Monon Patel fell quickly, and the beginning of the Quickfire of Nicholas Gadgad – including two crisp borders – suddenly ended. First, Glenn Maxwell hit twice in a burst, and Glen Philips suit with his own double-wicket. The pitch assisted spin with turn and variable bounce, and Washington’s attack used it for full effect.Between the collapse, Kunwarjit Singh first impressed with a composed 33 on his T20 debut, demonstrating maturity against spin. But once he fell into Philips, the innings lost steam. Sunny Patel and Heath Richards added some lower-order resistance, guiding the MI New York last 100 at 112/8. Maxwell returned 3/29 figures, while Philips strengthened and incisive with 2/4 in its sole over.Washington’s chase began with an early disadvantage of Mitch Owen, and soon after Rachin Ravindra’s departure. But the veins settled the veins off Mark Chapman’s fast 27 balls. Although he and Maxwell fell into quick succession, Gaus took command, to break the three borders behind the chase in the 14th over. He remained unbeaten at 46 out of 34 balls, peacefully to steer his team’s house with 18 balls.
For Washington, Jeet ensured a top-two finish and a direct route for qualifier 1-a reward for continuous performance in the pace season.
