Match summary:

Pak I Care Badalona win by 5 wickets off the last ball

Daniel Doyle Calle 70*(28) | Sebastiaan Braat 2/34 (2)
John Matchett 42(19) | John Matchett 2/3 (1)

The change of bat worked wonders for Daniel Doyle Calle early on! He was struggling to get going before that, but once he had the new piece of wood, the ball seemed to travel absolutely everywhere! Doyle Calle ended up being largely responsible for Badalona's first points in the championship week eventually, navigating them through to the target with utmost perfection!

Doyle Calle was aided by Muhammad Yasin from earlier, and Sebastiaan Braat in the latter stages. Jacob Mulder's leg-spin kept them tied up in the middle overs - Mulder floated it up, enticing the batters in going after him and went for just 3 in his first over. CIYMS' ploy to continue with spin backfired, though, as McCullough was tonked to all parts. The equation came down from 29 off 12 to 15 off 6, and DDC was there to get the job done eventually!

9.6 Allen Coulter to Daniel Doyle Calle, PAK I CARE REGISTER THEIR FIRST POINTS OF THE WEEK! DANIEL DOYLE CALLE DOES IT FOR THEM! Very much in the slot around off-stump. DDC was waiting for it and managed to get under it. He then smashed it over deep cover and pick up six runs to win this thriller! 

9.5 Allen Coulter to Daniel Doyle Calle, SIX MORE! Length ball around off-stump. Scythed away well over deep cover point by making a bit of room! MAXIMUM! 2 more to get off 1 ball....

9.4 Allen Coulter to Daniel Doyle Calle, SIX RUNS! CRUNCHED! Length ball on off-stump. Blasted away over wide long-on from a stable base! The ball then whistled away for a maximum! 

9.3 Allen Coulter to Daniel Doyle Calle, good length ball on off-stump. Pulled around off the thick inside edge to deep square for no run here, no run! 

9.2 Allen Coulter to Muhammad Atif, hard length ball around off-stump. Atif swung and missed across the line but then, they managed to somehow run through for a bye! 

9.1 Allen Coulter to Sebastiaan Braat, BOWLED HIM! Full on leg-and-middle. The angle on the ball fooled Braat as he tried to leave it but it took the in-step of the left boot and ricocheted back on to the stumps! 

Sebastiaan Braat b Allen Coulter 25 (11b, 1x4, 3x6)

8.6 Jacob Mulder to Daniel Doyle Calle, flatter leg-break around off-stump on the short length. A miss of the cut shot on the back foot and this is another dot delivery! 

8.4 Jacob Mulder to Sebastiaan Braat, good length flatter ball around off-stump. A leave this one on line but this sneaks inside the tramline! Dot ball. 

8.3 Jacob Mulder to Sebastiaan Braat, SIX RUNS! Good length ball on off-stump. Braat advances and hammers it over wide long-on for a maximum! 

8.2 Jacob Mulder to Daniel Doyle Calle, short outside off-stump. Cut away to the right of point off the back foot but a good dive stops it to only one run!
