Commentary

That's all from us then. This is Soumarya Dutta, signing off on behalf of Rajarshi Das. See you soon. 
PSV Aachen 99/3 in 7.2 overs
Muaaz Hassan 44(20) | Tauqeer Khan 2/15
Rahim Mohammad 37*(16) | Mustafa Ul Haq 1/11
 
It was a bit of an anti-climax in the end as Taha Hassan conceded five wides to end proceedings but it can't take anything away from the superb batting effort of the Aachen. They needed 98 to win and they've made really light work of it in the end as they win by 8 wickets and 3 overs to spare. 

They began in brisk fashion as Muaaz was up and running early on and put on a real show. He went berserk in the powerplay despite the loss of two early wickets and had no intention of holding himself back. He played a gem of an innings of 44 in the end. Rahim joined forces with him and put up a really good partnership that put the Aachen on the drivers seat in this contest. He remained unbeaten in the end and saw the PSV Aachen through. 

The Spartans bowlers didn't really have anything to show for and they struggled to defend this low total. Tauqeer Khan picked up a couple of wickets to make things interesting for a while but Muaaz soon took the momentum away from them. Mustafa was the only other bowler who took a wicket towards the end, but the damage had already been done by that time and the game had slipped away from their hands. 
7.3 Taha Hassan to Rahim Mohammad, wide, FOUR! And that'll do for PSV Aachen, they're still in the hunt! Good length delivery fired down leg from round the wicket, Rahim looked to pull but missed. The keeper merely put out a palm trying to gather the ball, had no chance at it, and let it through to the boundary!
7.2 Taha Hassan to Rahim Mohammad, FOUR! Misfield! Good length delivery on middle and off, Rahim miscued this one towards the man at long on, who fumbled and let it through to the boundary!
7.1 Taha Hassan to Rahim Mohammad, EDGED AND FOUR! Short outside off, Rahim looked to cut, the ball took the edge, flew over first 'slip', and made its way to the boundary!
Raja Mubashir, RHB, comes to the crease 
A wicket late in the piece for Mustafa and it's the danger man Muaaz who is gone here. He has done the damage though and they will need only 12  runs to win here.

6.2 Mustafa UlHaq to Muaaz Hassan, wide, fired in past the tramline
6.1 Mustafa UlHaq to Muaaz Hassan, SIX! Length delivery outside off, Muaaz looked to shimmy down the wicket, and had to adjust to the length. He still went through with a swing across the line, the ball took the top edge and landed over the boundary behind the keeper!
Rahim Mohammad has played a vital cameo here and has quietly moved on to 29. Aachen now need just a run ball from here on to win this game and with two set batters this should be a cake walk.
