Golden Star Bonn beat Bonn Blue Star by 7 wickets!

Gurwinder Singh 76* (24) | Harsha Parupalli 2-15 
Asad Mohammad 53 (19) | Haron Khan 2-18

Golden Star Bonn did not seem to be in the chase for large chunks of the game, but they managed to pull things back just as Gurwinder Singh and Paritosh Bairagi got going. 

The partnership between Singh and Bairagi was critical to take Golden Star closer to the target that they were chasing. The bowlers of Bonn Blue Star, led by Haron Khan, tried their best to stop the flow of runs, but it was not as easy. 

Singh, in particular, seemed extremely harsh on the bowlers of Blue Star, especially the spinners. The half-century he got today was extremely well crafted and well deserved by him. 

Bairagi played a really good supporting role as well. This win makes Golden Star Bonn the winners of the Bronze Final of the ECS Krefeld, Germany T10 tournament. They have now come third and can lay claim to the bronze medal!

8.3 Asad Mohammad to Atta Shirzad, that is game set and match for Golden Star Bonn. Banged in short by Asad, a shade outside off and that has been called a wide. 

8.2 Asad Mohammad to Atta Shirzad, SIX! Again in the slot around the middle stump channel, Shirzad has slammed that down the ground, holds his shape and deposits that well over the straight boundary. 

8.1 Asad Mohammad to Atta Shirzad, FOUR! That was a fuller-length delivery outside off and slammed away all along the carpet and beats the tired widish long-off fielder. 

Asad Mohammad [1-0-20-0] is back into the attack.

Although the wicket of Paritosh Bairagi fell in this over, Brar conceded a whopping eighteen runs as well. Golden Star are rather close to the target that they are chasing now.

7.6 Karanjit Brar to Atta Shirzad, on a length a shade outside off, Atta swings across the line, gets an inside edge towards short fine and takes a single. 

7.5 Karanjit Brar to Paritosh Bairagi, WICKET! Is there a final twist in the tale or is it too little too late? Fuller-length delivery on the pads. Paritosh gets inside the line of that delivery and flicks it away straight down the throat of the deep backward square leg fielder.

7.4 Karanjit Brar to Gurwinder Singh, swiped across the line of a length delivery around middle towards the deep midwicket region and has to be content with a single. 

7.3 Karanjit Brar to Gurwinder Singh, FOUR! That was a back of a length delivery outside off, a bit slower and Gurwinder throws his hands at that, the outside edge flies away past the keeper and off to it goes away to the fence.  

7.2 Karanjit Brar to Gurwinder Singh, SIX! Nailed from hs presence and that goes many a mile. Again a floated delivery right in the slot, around the middle stump and that has been swung away with disdain. What exceptional strokeplay from Gurwinder.  

7.1 Karanjit Brar to Gurwinder Singh, SIX! That has been slogged away over the deep midwicket fence. A tossed up delivery right in the slot. Around the off-stump channel and that has been struck clean and clears deep midwicket. 

Karanjit Brar, right arm off break, is the new bowler.

Golden Star have completely turned this game on its head. It appears as if they are now the favourites to win this game. This game is now theirs to lose.

6.6 Farhan Shaukat to Paritosh Bairagi, FOUR! This partnership continues to grow. That was on a length well wide outside off, Bairagi throws his hands at that and carves it away towards the vacant deep cover-point region, the deep fielder had no chance whatsoever. 

6.5 Farhan Shaukat to Gurwinder Singh, a mistimed pull off a back of a length delivery, falls in no man's land towards the mid-on region and a single taken. 

6.4 Farhan Shaukat to Gurwinder Singh, SIX! That has been absolutely nailed by Gurwinder. In the slot a shade outside off, hands through the ball and he nails that over extra cover for a maximum. 

6.3 Farhan Shaukat to Gurwinder Singh, swipes away the length delivery around off towards the deep square leg region, more from the inner half of the bat and a couple of runs taken.
