Match summary:
VfB Gelsenkirchen won the toss and opted to bat

Koln Cricket Club 125/5 (10 Overs)
Asmdin Zadran 38(11) | Dhamodharan Madanagopal 2/18 (2 overs)

VfB Gelsenkirchen 101/7 (10 Overs)
Naresh Pavaluru 41(19) | Sharifollah Sherzad 2/18 (2 overs)

Koln Cricket Club win by 24 runs.

Naresh Pavaluru put up his best efforts to try and get his team past the line, but he had walked out to the centre a bit too late to make an impact. Gelsenkirchen started off on the perfect note, staying at par with Koln's score for at least the first half of the chase. The VFBG top-order played their parts in keeping the tempo up, but none of them stayed on and were able to play that big knock that they needed. After the fall of Dhaly's wicket, things started to fall off for the chasing team.

Naresh Pavaluru wasn't one to give up, though. He wasn't able to get enough strike, but when he did, he kept trying his best to pierce the gaps and clear the boundaries. Wickets continued to fall at the other end, and Pavaluru's efforts fell well short. Koln Cricket Club break their winless streak with a convincing 24-run win.
