Commentary

With that the first match of the day comes to fruition. But the action continues with Ronin CC and Lisbon Werewolves taking on each other in the second game of the day. The coverage for that match starts soon. From here, it is Darpan Tikiya and Mohul Bhowmick bidding you goodbye!
Friendship CC win by 32 runs. 

Friendship CC 117/6 | Precious CC 85

Raju Miah 49*(19) | Badrul Haydar 3/8
Muhammad Basharat 24 (16) | Ghulam Dastgir 2/12

Only 2 batters in that entire line up got to double figures. (Plus the extras. There were 15 of them). Unfortunately, you won't win many matches with that kind of an effort as Precious CC found out. 

Much like Friendship CC, they had a nightmarish start to their batting innings. Half of their side was back in the hut in the first 4 overs. Though, Muhammad Basharat and Keshav Saini did ignite some hopes, they couldn't exactly do what Nazrul Islam and Raju Miah did for the side batting first. 

In the end, Precious CC were somehow able to get to 85, which helped them avoid going empty handed from this game. However, their search for the first ever win at the ECN continues. 

Special mention to Friendship CC bowlers Badrul Haydar and Sajjad Hossain who broke the back of the batting line up early.
