Match summary:

Antwerp 1st innings 101/9 (10 Overs)
Zulqarnain Tasawar 29(12) | Manoj Nag 3/9 (2)

12 Stars CC 102/4 (9 Overs)
Rounak Jain 45(26) | Nawaz Khankhel 2/21 (2)

12 Stars CC win by 6 wickets with 6 balls to spare.

There were a few wobbles towards the end, but the 12 Stars CC still managed to get home with ease! Asijit Ghosh and Vishal Ramteke ensure they get through eventually. The start to the chase pretty much set the tone - 12 Stars CC almost got to 50 in the first three overs! Once again, it was Sazzad Hosen who led from the front, providing his team a solid start by peppering the boundaries! Rounak Jain took a bit longer - he didn't have the strike too often at the start, but once he did, he got going as well! The opening pair pretty much got the Stars close to the target before the Antwerp bowlers pulled things back a little bit. They managed to pick up four wickets in next to no time, but Asijit Ghosh and Vishal Ramteke were there to provide the finishing touches!

8.6 Nawaz Khankhel to Vishal Ramteke, THAT'S IT! 12 Stars CC won this game in a canter. Full on the middle and off, Ramteke flicks it off his pads and they scamper through for a brace.

8.5 Nawaz Khankhel to Arshvir Singh, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Length delivery, tails in a bit, Arshvir wanted to finish things off as he has a big swing and gets a little inside edge on to the stumps and has to go.

8.3 Nawaz Khankhel to Asijit Ghosh, FOUR! Just one hit away now, low full toss on the pads, Ghosh flicks it away towards long-leg fence for a boundary. Just three needed now!

8.1 Nawaz Khankhel to Rounak Jain, OUT! BIG APPEAL FOR LBW AND GIVEN! Back of a length on the middle and off, Jain down on one knee to sweep across the line and misses, raps on the hip and he's a goner.

Arshvir hilariously jumps in frustration having been declined a run! It was dropped down to a wide gap at silly point, and Jain didn't want anything to do with the single!

7.5 Tayyab Ali to Arshvir Singh, FOUR! Beats the diving long-on in the end. Full on the middle and leg, Arshvir flicks it down to long-on and picks up a boundary.

7.3 Tayyab Ali to Rounak Jain, FOUR BYES! Sloppy from the keeper, he should've stopped that one. That keeps low, goes along the turf to the keeper as Jain misses, goes through the hands of the keeper.

7.2 Tayyab Ali to Rounak Jain, back of a length on the middle and leg, Jain gets inside the line and swipes it to backward square-leg for a single, wayward throw and they get back for the second.

7.1 Tayyab Ali to Rounak Jain, FOUR! Low full toss on the fourth stump, Jain gets forward and carves it away, through backward point and races away to pick out the ropes.
