Lowlights:

MCG Cubs’ batting collapse was a major lowlight, with no significant partnerships formed. They also conceded 39 wides and 4 no-balls, giving away unnecessary extras.

Minnesota Bhakta B SC: They should focus on minimizing the extras they concede, as 46 runs in wides and no-balls is excessive and could be costly in closer games.

MCG Cubs: Improving shot selection and forming better partnerships in their top order is essential to avoid collapses. Tightening bowling discipline will also reduce the number of free runs given to the opposition.
