Disciplined bowling by Royals as they kept taking wickets and kept the runs under 12, Noor Oryakhel the pick of the bowlers took 3 wickets and gave away only 13 runs in his 2 overs.

Comfortable win in the end for Royal Brussels. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda as the reverse fixture begins after a short break with 3 more ECS matches today, and India Take on Srilanka in the Asia Cup. That's all from this match, as this is the commentary duo of Soorya and Divyansh, signing off!

9.6 Noor Oryakhel to Shokrullah Shirzad, OUT! ENDS WITH A WICKET! What a spell this has been from Oryakhel! Full length delivery outside off and Shirzad doesn't really get underneath this one as he powers it over extra cover. Holes out to the man in the deep as the curtains come down on this contest. Royal Brussels get off the mark with a 13-run victory!

Shokrullah Shirzad c Muneeb Muhammad b Noor Oryakhel 5 (3b, 1x4)

9.5 Noor Oryakhel to Abdul Rashid, goes for the block hole well outside off. Doesn't quite nail it but Rashid can't thread wide long off moving into the extra cover region despite thrashing it with all might. A lone run it shall be!

9.4 Noor Oryakhel to Shokrullah Shirzad, shapes away and dips into a low full toss just outside the line of off. Shirzad clears his front leg and throws the kitchen sink at it towards deep extra cover as he flays it uppishly. This ought to be the game!

9.3 Noor Oryakhel to Shokrullah Shirzad, FOUR! CRUCIAL BOUNDARY! Very full outside off, Shirzad hangs deep and slices it up and over point off the splice of his bat. Puts a lot of power into it as it goes rocketing to the boundary past the sweeper.

9.2 Noor Oryakhel to Shahidullah Otmanzai, CAUGHT! Shortens his length outside off and Otmanzai stands tall to clough it high into the sky before deep square leg pouches it without a fuss. This could well be the game in the bag for Royal Brussels with Rashid kept away from the strike.

9.1 Noor Oryakhel to Abdul Rashid, very full on off stump, Rashid clears his front leg and swipes it along the carpet to deep backward square leg. They decide to take the run!

Shahidullah Otmanzai comes to the crease.

Noor Oryakhel (1.0-0-6-1), comes back into the attack.

They tried to steal a single but mainly to get Abdul Rashid on the crease for the last over. 21 required in the last over. We are in for a thriller. 

8.6 Sairab Zahid to Mohammad Noman, RUN OUT! NOMAN SACRIFICES HIMSELF! Full and angling into the leg stump, Noman clears his front leg and fails to connect with his almighty swing as it lobs towards cover point off his pads. The batters turn back for a non-existent second, just to ensure that Rashid takes strike for the final over and that's a bit of selfless play there from Noman who is miles short of his ground!

Mohammad Noman run out Rehman Hussain/Yasin Khan 6 (3b, 1x4)

8.5 Sairab Zahid to Mohammad Noman, FOUR! CRUCIAL BOUNDARY! Dug into the surface on middle and leg stump, Noman swivels on his back foot and gets some part of his glove onto it as he hooks it fine before it trickles past the fielder for four. 100 up for Beveren!

8.4 Sairab Zahid to Mohammad Noman, gives the charge and slices this full length delivery outside off on the up through extra cover before wide long off picks up very close to the ropes. Two runs taken!

8.3 Sairab Zahid to Noor Momand, OUT! MAGNIFICENT CATCH! Pitched up on the pads and Momand flicks it up and over behind square on the leg-side as he transfers weight onto the front foot. It's aerial and it puts the boundary rider into play as Mustafa holds on with reverse-cupped palms over his head, while maintaining his balance to brilliant effect. Rashid took off just as the ball was released but alas, he remains stranded at the other end!

Noor Momand c Mustafa Mamond b Sairab Zahid 0 (2)

8.2 Sairab Zahid to Noor Momand, full length delivery outside off and Momand looks to deposit his thump over the bowler's head. Pressure on the new batter as Zahid sends down a priceless dot. Rashid comes up to have a word with his partner!

8.2 Sairab Zahid to Noor Momand, WIDE! Spears it down the leg-side on a full length as Momand looks to scoop it fine. The bowler must reload!

8.1 Sairab Zahid to Abdul Rashid, FIFTY FOR RASHID! Very full on middle and off, Rashid clears his front leg and whips it behind square and into the deep for a lone run. It's been a superb innings but his job isn't done yet!

Noor Momand, RHB, comes the the crease.

Sairab Zahid (1.0-0-12-0), comes back into the attack.

Just the two boundaries and a wicket. 30 required off the last two overs now. Important over coming up.
