Commentary

Thank you for joining me, Mohul Bhowmick and my partner Pradeep, for this exciting game. Until next time, goodbye!
Marsa beat Gozo by 9 wickets!

Indika Perera 31 (27) | Farhan Masih 1/9
Fanyan Mughal 28* (14) and 2/6

Marsa defeated Gozo quite comfortably, and this is what was expected of them. Although they looked a little out of place in the middle overs, they managed to wrap it up in the end quite comfortably. They started the innings well and ensured that they ended it on a good note as well. 

Marsa did not look very comfortable when Gozo started bowling in the right areas in between, but they managed to dig themselves out of the tough situation. Gozo will be unhappy with the way this game panned out, and blaming themselves for not putting up enough runs on the board. 

This will probably not work as well as we think it will, for they need to look in the mirror and improve themselves. Gozo will be hoping to come back with a bang in the next game that they play.

Just eight runs needed now. Marsa will feel that they can wrap the game up in this over itself.
