Commentary

That's it for this match, folks! This is Rudransh and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda for more exciting cricket content!
Alby Zalmi CC win by 8 runs!

Murtaza Syed 23 (14) | Qudrattulah Mir Afzal 4/3
Rahel Khan 45 (21) | Assadullah Javed 4/11

This is the stuff champions are made of! Alby Zalmi CC go top of the table with a stunning win over Hammarby. Their batting let them down once again. 110/8 was just about the par score but haven't they defended it as if their lives depended on it?

Hammarby only have themselves to blame to. Rahel Khan got them off to a flier and at one point it looked like Hammarby will win it easily but no one backed him up with similar intent and confidence with the bat. Arslan Ali and Syed Faizan were the biggest disappointments as they got out after taking up a few important deliveries.

Once again, it was that man - Mir Afzal - who just reveled on this pitch. He's like a chess player and the low-bouncing pitch gave him the perfect platform to do what he does best - keep it slow and draw out the mistakes. He picked up four wickets in just two overs at the cost of just 3 runs!

They look like a unified bunch who you can't rule out in any situation whatsoever!
