Commentary

That's it for our coverage of this match, folks. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed the knocks from Asif and Sahil!  This is Rudransh and Pragadeesh signing off for Sportskeeda!
Kista CC win by 7 wickets.

Muhammad Asif 62 (20) | Moghees Hassan 2/23
Nyazwali Sahil 70* (34) | Hafizullah Shinwari 2/19

Kista CC won that in a canter and handed a major blow to Kristianstad's campaign. Their bowling set up the match for them by keeping Kristianstad to just 108/5. Sahil played a blinder in the first innings but lack of support meant he couldn't even take his team to the par score.

Two wickets in the second over would have given Kristianstad a lot of hope and they would have felt that Sumsam was the last nail. But Asif came out of the syllabus. He started by scoring 16 runs off his first five balls and just never stopped. The bowlers started missing their lengths by massive margins as soon as the pressure increased and by the time Asif got out, the match was all but over.

Kristianstad have a lot to worry about going ahead and Kista look like they are just enjoying their time in the tournament now!

Too little too late that wicket from Sahak. Riaz has come in the mood and they have too many wickets left in the bank to lose from here.
