ICCB vs LS

So that is it from this encounter of ECS Belgium T10. It was a quick wrap up from our side as Liege stormed to victory in very less time. This is Arya Sekhar Chakraborty signing off on the behalf of my fellow commentator Pragadeesh. Ta-ta. 

Earlier, it was a great bowling effort by Liege to skittle out ICCB for a meagre 62 runs. None of the iCCB batters could get going and barring a first ball six from the blade of Sai Teepi, it all went pear-shaped for them. They kept losing wickets every over and there was just no way back for them. The top scorer of the innings Gangadhar Barrey and Vivek Bangarambandi, scoring 11 each. Saji Majid was the pick of the bowlers for Liege, finishing with figures of 3/13 in his two overs spell. 

A target of 63 was never going to challenge Liege and in the end, it was a cakewalk for them as they raced off to the victory target in just less than five overs. Zulqarnain Munawar was at his imperious best, finishing the game with a 11 balls 30. Safi Majid got them off to a rollicking start, collecting 21 runs of the opening over and the formalities was completed in the 5th over. Captain Siddhant Deore and Sravan Konduru picked a wicket each but that came too little too late for them. 

Ali Hassan came out to the crease at the fall of the opening wicket as the team wanted to get him some game time but he could only muster 2 of 6 deliveries. Javed Oryakhail who had a good time with the ball eventually ended the game with a six, remaining unbeaten on 10 of just 2 deliveries. 

4.4 Sravan Konduru to Javed Oryakhial, SIX! Slow delivery bowled fuller on off-stump, Javed smacks it over long-on and finishes things off in style. 

4.3 Sravan Konduru to Javed Oryakhial, FOUR! Slow delivery angling in, Oryakhial heaves but gets an inside edge and it beats the keeper to his right and runs away to the fence

4.2 Sravan Konduru to Ali Hassan, OUT! Short of a length delivery angling in, Hassan pulls but didn't get enough contact to clear the ropes. The fielder at deep square leg runs to his right and takes a fine catch.

3.5 Venkata Raju to Zulqarnain Munawar, EDGED AND DROPPED! Length delivery outside off, Munawar tries to defend but the ball brushes his outside edge. The keeper fumbles and drops it eventually

Another productive over for Liege and they are just 7 runs away from completing a comprehensive victory here. What an all-round show this has been while ICCB has faltered big time. 

3.4 Venkata Raju to Zulqarnain Munawar, SIX! Length delivery outside off, Munawar clears his front leg and launches it over long-off for a maximum

3.3 Venkata Raju to Zulqarnain Munawar, FOUR! Slow back of a hand delivery, Munawar sits back and powers it over the bowler's head for a boundary

3.2 Venkata Raju to Zulqarnain Munawar, FOUR! Poor fielding. Full delivery into the pads, Munawar clips it towards deep backward square leg region. The fielder runs to his right but can't prevent the boundary

Six more to end the over and a great powerplay for Liege, especially in the context of the game. Just 23 more runs needed and it could be done and dusted in the very next over.
