INC vs ALZ

Alby Zalmi - 80/3 in 7.1 overs (Tas Qureshi 46* off 23 balls, Sanjay Kumar Sareen 2/14 in 2 overs) beat Indiska - 77/7 in 10 overs (Sachin Sharma 23 off 19 balls, Javid Dawoodzai 3/14 in 2 overs) by 7 wickets with 2 overs and 5 balls to spare.

Player of the Match: Javid Dawoodzai

Indiska needed early wickets, that did not happen, they needed to keep the score in check right from the start, that did not happen either, and the result is that Alby Zalmi registered their sixth win on the trot without having to sweat much. 

Tas Qureshi, who got promoted to bat at the top of the order today, made sure to cash in on his opportunity, as he finished not out, as the highest scorer in the innings and the rest of the batting too did not hang around but went about their work quickly. 

Indiska's fielding needs a lot of improvement going forward, with two very important matches to come tomorrow. They have to get their tactics right as well, especially with the ball.

That will be all from the Norsborg Cricket Ground for now as we close in on the second match of the day. But do stay tuned to Sportskeeda for the third game coming up in a bit. This is the pair of Pragadeesh and Bidipto, saying good bye! 

7.1 Nirmal Iyer to Mir Afzal, fuller delivery around off, Afzal smacks it over mid-off for a boundary. That's it. Zalmi got the better of Indiska for the second time and they continue their hot streak in this ECS edition.

Nirmal Iyer, right-arm medium, is in to bowl.

It is a real surprise that Arshpreet Singh did not bowl earlier. Now there are only a few runs left to get for Alby Zalmi to register another win but the tactics from Indiska in this innings have not really gone according to plan. 

6.6 Arshpreet Singh to Mir Afzal, fuller delivery and the batter goes for a big heave. He got only the height but not the distance and the fielder at long-on spills a catch. They take two runs

6.4 Arshpreet Singh to Mir Afzal, length delivery middle and off. The batter tries to go for a big heave but only gets the contact in the bottom of the bat. Two runs taken in the square leg region

6.1 Arshpreet Singh to Tas Qureshi, In the slot and Qureshi is not in the mood to show any mercy. He hammers that towards mid-wicket for a huge six

6.1 Arshpreet Singh to Tas Qureshi, That's a wayward delivery from the bowler as it bounced twice. Qureshi didn't hit that and it was a surprise

Sachin Sharma, right-arm leg-spin, is into the attack.

The 50 for Alby Zalmi has come up in the over. They are cruising to the target now. Every ball is being scored of and there is hardly any pressure applied on the batting. The fielding continues to disappoint.
