Commentary

That's it from me, Rajarshi, and my friend and co-commentator Bidipto, as we close our coverage for the second ECS game of the day. I will be joined by Pradeep for the next ECS game, the one between Dusseldorf Blackcaps and TV & TBV Lemgo. The game starts in about 15 minutes time, so, see you there!
Match summary:
Bayer Boosters won the toss and opted to bat

Bayer Boosters 80/7 (10 Overs)
Rajakulasingam Thinesh 24(13) | Akshay Dhani 2/11 (2)

Koln Cricket Club 81/2 (7.1 Overs)
Sasanka Sanka 33*(20) | Srikanth Thorlikonda 2/16 (2)

Koln Cricket Club win by 8 wickets with 17 balls to spare.


As smooth as you like! One bad over from Vaseekaran does the job for Koln Cricket Club, they avenge their defeat from earlier, winning this contest by 8 wickets! Sasanka Sanka anchors the run-chase to perfection, the start from Koln was steady but slow - Vignesh and Thorlikonda kept this quiet in the initial stages. Dhani then dug into the bowling, taking Thorlikonda to all parts in his second over, but fell to the same bowler off the final delivery. Manav Panwar then joined Sanka, and the duo calmy preserved wickets in the middle-stages, bringing the equation down to their favour. Vaseekaran's waist-high no-ball pretty was pretty much a sign that Koln can step up a gear and get the job done within those 6 deliveries. They did exactly that, tying the scores, and Panwar took the single off the first delivery of the 8th to get them past the finish line!
7.1 Aritharan Thivakaran to Manav Panwar, KOLN CC GET THEIR WIN BACK! Short on off, the batter strokes it off the top hand off the back foot to third man for a single to finish the match.
