ALCC vs RGD

Thanks a lot for joining us- Mohul Bhowmick and Lavil Saldanha- for this exciting game of cricket in ECS Rome. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, ciao!

Asian Latina beat Roma Gladiatori by 5 runs!

Mubarak Hossain 41 (17) | Harpreet 3-14
Amandeep Singh 40 (15) | Jitendra Prakash 2-33

Rather unexpectedly, Asian Latina managed to stifle the Roma Gladiatori run chase in the end. In the beginning, this was quite unlike yesterday's performance when these two teams had last met. 

Asian Latina had put up a huge total on the board yesterday but Gladiatori just could not get going and managed to succumb to the pressure. 

However, things were different today. Mubarak Hossain got them off to a fabulous start and played a captain's knock while doing so. Harpreet, Mukhtiar Singh and Muneeb Niazi all chipped in from time to time to ensure that there were no hiccups along the way. 

However, things changed drastically for them in the last two overs of the game. Needing just fifteen runs to win off twelve balls, Asian Latina managed to squeeze the run chase and restrict Roma Gladiatori. 

This was one of the biggest heists in ECS cricket! This win will give a lot of confidence to Asian Latina as they progress further into the tournament.

9.6 Hashmat Dhindsa to Muneeb Niazi, DOT BALL! ASIAN LATINA WIN ANOTHER FINAL OVER THRILLER! Full-length delivery outside the off stump, Niazi looked to go big but failed to get the required elevation and hit it towards deep long on for a dot ball. He doesn't run and Asian Latina win the match by 5 runs. They have won two games in the last 24 overs by defending 15 runs or less in the last over!

9.5 Hashmat Dhindsa to Mandeep Kumar, full length delivery on the leg stump. Kumar has a play and a miss and rushes across to the other end for a single. Byes called. 6 needed to win off the final ball

9.4 Hashmat Dhindsa to Muneeb Niazi, full length delivery on the line of the off stump. Niazi plays that one down the ground and settles only for a single

9.2 Hashmat Dhindsa to Mandeep Kumar, full length delivery on the line of the off stump. Kumar has a play and a miss but does brilliantly to sneak in a single and run the single. Bye called

Hashmat Dhindsa [1-0-13-0] will bowl the final over.

It looks like we will have a last-over finish here! Roma Gladiatori have somehow managed to take this down to the last over. They need 10 runs to win, with Niazi on strike!

8.6 Charanjeet Singh to Muneeb Niazi, back of a length delivery on the line of the off stump. Niazi hits that one towards deep midwicket for a single to end the over

8.5 Charanjeet Singh to Shadamgul Zadran, DROPPED! BUT A RUN OUT! Length delivery on the line of the off stump, Zadran hits the ball high on his bat and the fielder shells the catch. He makes a throw in time and the batter is dismissed at the bowlers end

Shadamgul Zadran run out (Hashmat Dhindsa/Charanjeet Singh) 2 (2b 0x4 0x6)

8.2 Charanjeet Singh to Shadamgul Zadran, full length delivery outside the off stump. Zadran plays that one towards covers and picks up a single
