English Reds are taking on Scottish Mulberries in the third game of the Global Power Cricket League (GPCL) T20 at Yamuna Sports Complex Cricket Ground, Delhi on Monday (October 3).

The match caught everyone’s attention as legendary England batter Ian Bell and former West Indies cricketer Kirk Edwards were in charge of the two sides.

English Reds skipper Ian Bell won the toss and opted to bat first. Riding on opener Umang’s unbeaten 87 off 62 balls, they piled up 172/4 in their stipulated 20 overs. Adil also played a handy knock of 30-ball 41 while batting at No. 3.

During the second innings, there was also a VIP presence at the venue as actor-politician Manoj Tiwari came to attend the match.

Speaking to Power Sportz, the organizer and official broadcaster of the GPCL T20, Tiwari praised the tournament, saying that it is of the highest quality as some of the top cricketers from England, Australia, Scotland, Ireland, Sri Lanka, India, and South Africa are taking part in it.

Here’s the full interview:
