Commentary

That's it from the coverage, hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh signing off. 
ACCB beat Giarmata by 7 runs
Naveen Kunta 29(13) | Janitha Fernando 17(12)
Janitha Fernando 2-12 (2) | Tharindu Sandarwan 2-18(2)

Who saw this coming? ACCB might've failed with the bat but their bowlers never seemed to lose any belief at any stage as they defended the total successfully to emerge victorious in this tense thriller. 

Early wickets were the order of the day for ACCB to stay alive in the contest and they did the first job perfectly. They reduced the opposition to 23-3 and continued to dictate terms in the middle. Janitha Fernando and Aamir Ali were the only batters, who could post a double-digit score but the rest of the batting failed miserably. Tharindu was tasked with defending 14 runs off the final over and he picked up back-to-back wickets to send his team over the finish line
