ICA Berlin 61/9 in 10 overs
Rohit Grover 14(11) | Jatinder Vashisht 4/14
Arun Kumar 14(13)  | Imran Bukhari 2/11

What an unbelievable effort this has been from the Berlin CC here. They've absolutely demolished the ICA Berlin and handed them a crushing defeat of 56 runs. This will go down as one of the biggest win margins of the Series.

The ICA had a disastrous start as they lost all their hard hitting top order batters in the powerplay itself. Rohit Grover and Skipper Arun Kumar tried to put up a fight for a while but the run chase was always going to be out of their reach. At one stage they were in danger of being bowled out before the end of the 10 overs but the last pair managed to survive somehow.

For the Berlin CC it was Imran Bukhari who started things off and he gave the ICA an early jolt by removing two openers in the powerplay. However the star of the show was the left arm spinner, the Talisman Jatinder Vashishth who took three wickets in one over and literally sealed the deal in his side's favor before the halfway stage. Tom long was also quiet good as he picked up a couple of wickets and was also exceptional in the field.
