Commentary

That's it from this game. Join us for the next one that starts in about 10 minutes. This is Darpan Tikiya signing off on the behalf of Rudransh. 
Panjab win by 21 runs.

Panjab 161/4 (10 overs)
Jinnah Brescia 140/8 (10 overs)

Hardeep Singh 64 (24) | Waseem Ahmed 2/24
Nisar Ahmed 52 (19) | Gurdip Singh 2/22

Chasing 160+ against this strong Panjab bowling line up was always going to be a tough task. But Jinnah Brescia started off well with Nisar Ahmed giving them an explosive start. 

Unfortunately, he did not get enough support from the others. Wickets kept on falling from the other end and the required rate kept on rising. 

In the end, cameos from Tanveer, Imran and Rizwan did give Jinnah Brescia a ray of hope but it wasn't enough. They do avoid giving away the bonus point but it is a convincing victory for Panjab in the end. For them, the star of the show was their skipper Hardeep Singh whose half century helped them pile on the big score while batting first.

9.4 Gurdip Singh to Muhammad Imran, OUT! There comes the killer blow! Shortish on the off-stump, looks to pull it and gets an inside edge to his stumps!

9.3 Gurdip Singh to Muhammad Imran, AND ANOTHER! What's happening here? In the slot and clubbed over long off!

32 runs to win off the last over. It is an equation that has been breached before at the ECN. But Jinnah Bresica need to do something extraordinary here to achieve it with their tailenders.
