CLJ vs BZ

Thanks a lot for joining us- Mohul Bhowmick and Karthik Raj- for this game today. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Cluj made short work of this low total set up for them by Bucharest Zalmi. Until next time, goodbye!

Cluj beat Bucharest Zalmi by 6 wickets!

Taranjeet Singh 62* (23) and 2/10
Weerapperama Jayasuriya 21 (18) | Mohammad Sameed 3/19 

As was expected, Cluj made short work of this par total set up by Bucharest Zalmi and won it with plenty to spare. This will surely give a huge boost to their net run rate going further ahead in this competition. 

Taranjeet Singh helped his team out no end with a stroke-filled and eventful half-century, especially after Mohammad Sameed picked up three wickets in the third over of this innings. Taranjeet, however, kept a calm head and guided his team towards victory by a comfortable margin. 

Bucharest Zalmi will be extremely displeased with the way they performed today. They will want to improve on this showing of theirs and try to better it when going further ahead in the competition. 

Cluj, on the other hand, will be very happy with their showing and try to carry the momentum further into the competition. Taranjeet Singh was the star for them, both with bat and ball, but Cluj will hope that the others in their side can come good too. 

6.5 Weerapperuma Jayasuriya to Taranjeet Singh, full and angling in, Taranjeet works it through mid-wicket for a single. So, Taranjeet helps Cluj to register a comfortable six-wicket victory!

6.4 Weerapperuma Jayasuriya to Taranjeet Singh, OUT OF THE PARK! Short of a length outside-off, Taranjeet pulls it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Scores tied now!

6.3 Weerapperuma Jayasuriya to Ravindra Athapaththu, short of a length and angling in, Ravindra hops and fends it to backward point. Single taken

6.2 Weerapperuma Jayasuriya to Gaurav Mishra, GAURAV HAS TO DEPART! Short outside-off, Gaurav walks forward and looks to pull but he mis-times it to long-on where the fielder comes in and takes a simple catch!

Weerapperuma Jayasuriya, right arm medium, comes into the attack.

Cluj need just 14 runs to win this game. They have been in complete control throughout this game and it is just a matter of time before they wrap it up.

5.6 Shami Butt to Gaurav Mishra, full on the stumps, Gaurav drives it straight while the bowler gets low and gets a hand to it. Single taken while the ball rolls towards mid-off
