DB vs PSVA

Dussledorf Blackcaps 83/5 in 9.2 overs
Abdulmajeed Ahmadzai 20(20) | Muhammad Arif 2/19
Jamshed Khan 18(13) | Mohammad Rashid 1/13

Ubaid Manzoor finished things off with a six in the end but the game was way more tighter than the Dusseldorf Blackcaps would have hoped for. The Aachen made a real match out of it despite having to defend a low score of 82 and it looked game on till the final over. 

The Blackcaps got off to a slow but steady start as both the openers took their time but they build up a good partnership. However their problems began when Jamshed was dismissed and Ahmadzai got stuck at one end after that. He failed to accelerate which put the pressure on the new batters who had to throw their bats around trying to up the ante but they were dismissed in the process. 

Kashif Shahab struck a much needed maximum in the penultimate over to bring the game back in their grip and from there it was Manzoor who finished things off in style. They did fall behind the game for a while but it didn't cause much damage as they won by 5 wickets and with four balls to spare in the end. For the Aachen it was Fahad Khan who was the pick of the bowlers as he gave away just 10 runs and picked up a wicket. Mohammad Arif and Rashid chipped in too with some key wickets in the middle overs. 

9.2 Raja Mubashir to Ubaid Manzoor, SIX! GAME SET MATCH! WOW! Manzoor came out with a bucket of ice on his head and shows off a sumptuous lofted straight drive (even holds the pose) against this half-volley on the stumps to finish things off!

9.1 Raja Mubashir to Pratik Vaghela, GONE! MORE DRAMA! Full ball on the off-stump, Vaghela drives it but without timing and it goes straight for a nice low catch at covers

Yasir Hussain drops a sitter at third man and is it just the game?? We have an absolute thriller on our hands with all the three results possible as we head into the final over. 

8.6 Shoaib Rehman to Kashif Shahab, DROPPED AND SIX! WHAT DRAMA! This is cut away uppishly and Vaghela and the third man fielder makes a meal of it in the deep and lets it go through his hands over the boundary

8.5 Shoaib Rehman to Pratik Vaghela, DROPPED! THAT'S POOR! Slower ball outside the off-stump, Vaghela shuffles in and hoicks it to square leg who sits down comfortably but lets it go through his hands

Great over from Arif there as he picked up a couple of wickets and the required run rate has gone up above 9 now. The Aachen have come back really well and they're in the drivers seat at the moment. 

7.3 Muhammad Arif to Muhammad Raheel, GONE! CAUGHT BEHIND! This is short of good length this time the ball balloons in the air off the top edge and it goes in the air for an easy catch for the keeper

Muhammad Raheel c Muaaz Hassan b Muhammad Arif 6(3b, 0x4, 0x6)
