Match summary: 
BSV Britannia won the toss and opted to bowl

Berlin CC 1st innings 91/9 (10 Overs)
Abhilash Anantharam 23(16), Himanshu Himansh 2/13 (2 overs)

BSV Britannia 94/2 (9.3 Overs)
Vishal Panjwani 34*(29), Imran Bukhari 1/4 (2 overs)

BSV Britannia were reduced to 16/2 in the first two overs. Imran Bukhari set things up magnificently with a 1-run over first up, which contained the wicket of Saad Ali Jan. Sanish Goyal tried taking the bowling on but perished to Awais Zafar soon after, and Berlin CC were in with a sniff.

Panjwani then joined Mohit Negi in the middle. Negi, who was rather subdued in the first few overs, nurdled the score along with his new partner. They slowly started to accelerate once the newer bowlers were introduced, Anantharam, the keeper had an awful game with the gloves, and so, Britannia coasted close of the finishing line. A rather tight second over from Bukhari made things interesting towards the end, but Panjwani got them through with the winning stroke with three balls remaining.

No unlikely upsets at the end, Vishal Panjwani gets the job done with three balls left! A freebie, all he had to do is pick the change of pace, and he smashed it to the fence! An 8-wicket win for BSV Britannia!

9.3 Saddam Gill to Vishal Panjwani, FOUR! NO, WE AREN'T! IT'S ALL OVER! That's a horrible delivery, full toss, another slower one and Panjwani this time picks it up well as he swipes it powerfully, beats the sweeper for a boundary to seal the game. BSV Britannia after losing their first two games have back to back wins here, picked up a momentum of sorts.

9.2 Saddam Gill to Vishal Panjwani, ANOTHER DOT! Full toss, takes the pace off, Panjwani smacks it straight back to the bowler. Are we on to something here?

9.2 Saddam Gill to Vishal Panjwani, WIDE! Looks to follow the batter as Panjwani was dancing down the track, strays it down the leg-side, called a wide.

9.1 Saddam Gill to Vishal Panjwani, DOT BALL! OH! Brilliant change of pace, that's a cutter, turned back into Panjwani, backs away to make room but gets cramped, inside edge's on to his pad.

Some late drama to ensure the game goes to the final over! Berlin CC had about three chances to get a wicket off that last ball, and they botched up all of them!

8.6 Jatinder Vashisht to Vishal Panjwani, MISSED STUMPING CHANCE! That's a straight forward stumping chance and the keeper makes a meal of it, we are going into the final over. Panjwani shimmies down the track to hoick and misses, the keeper never collects it, they steal a bye as well.

8.5 Jatinder Vashisht to Vishal Panjwani, OH! Slows it down this time, good length that drifts into Panjwani, goes to sweep and misses, whiskers over the stumps to the keeper.

8.4 Jatinder Vashisht to Vishal Panjwani, backs away for the length delivery, follows the batter and Panjwani dabs it to short third-man for another dot.

8.3 Jatinder Vashisht to Vishal Panjwani, OH! Drops it short into Panjwani, climbs into the batter, on the backfoot he fends it into the off-side.

8.2 Jatinder Vashisht to Mohit Negi, OH DEAR! Falls just short of the point fielder, dives full length to get underneath that but lands safely. Negi on the backfoot cuts it uppishly towards point.

8.1 Jatinder Vashisht to Vishal Panjwani, tossed up delivery, good length on the outside off, Panjwani cuts it towards backward point, slight hesitation but Negi commits and hares across. Umpire's are confirming it, Negi makes it well in time.

7.6 Saddam Gill to Mohit Negi, FOUR MORE! Both are just toying with the bowling here. Full toss on the fifth stump, Negi backs away and reaches, slices it down to wide third-man and picks up another boundary.

7.5 Saddam Gill to Mohit Negi, searching for the yorker, comes out as low full toss, Negi swings but mistimes it to extra-cover fielder for no run.
