Commentary

HAWKS CC BEAT CATALUNYA TIGERS CC BY 4 WICKETS!
The Hawks always seemed to be behind in the game until the final couple of overs. The experience of Muhammad Ali Meer ensured that they came on par with the required rate when it mattered the most. Catalunya picked three early wickets and ensured that Hawks were always behind in the game but failed to keep it that way in the death overs.

Waqas Meraj (1/14), Muhammad Zeeshan (1/10) and captain Ghulam Sarwar (1/17) picked a wicket each but Umair Aftab was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2-0-15-2.

For the Hawks, Meer's unbeaten knock of 22 runs off 19 deliveries was supported by Ameer Hamzah (16 off 14), Amir Hamza (11 off 7) and Sohail Muhammad (9* off 6) after the top-order failed to get going. The last-ball thriller kept me on the edge of my seat and I hope it did the same to you as well!

That will be all from me (Sameer Deodhar) and my co-commentator Pradeep Somasheskar! Stay tuned to SportsKeeda to follow the rest of the tournament. Until then, take care and good bye!
