That's it from here, hope you enjoyed the coverage. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Pradeep signing off
British and Irish Knights won by 57 runs
Zulfiqar brothers tried their best but the slow start didn't help the team's cause. The Knights did incredible work to level the series and they are heading into the final match of the day with serious confidence and momentum with them. This has turned out to be an one-sided tussle but let's hope that these two teams put on a show in the final match
The combination has to be right for Team Europe as they messed it big time and paid the price. They will be sending a full team in the final match to battle it out and their line-up will be the one to watch out for. The Knights posted a massive score and they hardly put their foot wrong with the ball inside the powerplay. They kept the top-order quiet by tight lines and lengths, and the batters didn't find a way to send the ball out of the park consistently.

Tom Hinley0/6
9.6 Tom Hinley to Saqib Zulfiqar, THAT IS THAT! British and Irish Knights bounce back to square the series here, 2-2! Fired the short delivery on the off-stump. Saqib went back to swipe it hard, but chopped it into the on-side only a single.
9.5 Tom Hinley to Saqib Zulfiqar, FOUR! Length delivery on the stumps, Saqib skips down the track and slams it straight down the ground, goes one bounce into the ropes.
9.4 Tom Hinley to Sikander Zulfiqar, short outside the off-stump. Sikander uses his feet, smacked it to wide long-on for a single.
9.3 Tom Hinley to Sikander Zulfiqar, length delivery in the channel, angling it across. Sikander has another wild swing across the line and misses.
9.2 Tom Hinley to Sikander Zulfiqar, good length on the off-stump. Sikander went for the slog sweep and misses, through to the keeper.
9.1 Tom Hinley to Sikander Zulfiqar, short and goes well outside the tramline, Sikander reaches to cut it and misses, umpire doesn't signal that a wide.
We witnessed spin for the first and Frost was smashed for 27 runs. They rely less on spin but still one of their bowlers have to bowl in the innings and they have to quickly find out who is their best option

Mike Frost 0/27
8.6 Mike Frost to Saqib Zulfiqar, EDGED AND FOUR! Runs are coming thick and fast here. Length delivery outside the off-stump. Saqib swings across the line, takes the outside edge to third-man ropes.
8.5 Mike Frost to Saqib Zulfiqar, FOUR MORE! Might just be too little too late this. Good length on the off-stump, Saqib went for the swipe, but takes the top edge and clears the man in the ring, runs away to third-man ropes.
8.4 Mike Frost to Saqib Zulfiqar, SIX MORE! That is another mighty hit from Saqib. Good length on the off-stump, sits on one knee and clobbered it way over deep mid-wicket for another maximum.
8.3 Mike Frost to Saqib Zulfiqar, SIX! BAM! Some lusty blows towards the end here for Team Europe. Length delivery on the off-stump, Saqib presses and smokes it way over deep mid-wicket for another maximum.
8.2 Mike Frost to Sikander Zulfiqar, drops it short on the fourth stump. Sikander cuts it hard, but finds the cover fielder and they get the single.
8.1 Mike Frost to Sikander Zulfiqar, SIX! BANG! Good length on the off-stump. Sikander sits on one knee and powered it way over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.
Mike Frost, slow left-arm orthodox, comes into the attack
The Knights have a lot of fire in their belly since the start and come up with a proper plan to pin the Europe batters in the run chase

Toby Greatwood0/20
7.6 Toby Greatwood to Saqib Zulfiqar, FOUR MORE! That's a cutter but goes wrong. Bowls into the deck and keeps it outside the off-stump. Saqib spanked it through extra-cover, races away to the ropes.
