MCC vs KSS

Kristianstad 112/5 in 8.1 overs
Ihsanullah Wafa 72(20) | Ajmal Raza 3/13
Akmal Popal 21*(16) | Zairi Baig 1/12

This has been one of the greatest ever run chases in the history of ECS! Kristianstad were down and out after two overs as they were 4/4, however they recovered magnificently from there and ended up winning the game by 5 wickets with about 2 overs to spare!

Skipper Ihsanullah Wafa played an incredible knock of 72 runs from just 20 balls! He smashed the bowlers all around the park and effectively ended the game in just two overs! Akmal Popal gave him great support at the other end and managed to hold on! Once Wafa was gone, Popal stepped up to the task and ended the game with a couple of lusty blows!

It was all Marsta for the first 5 overs of the game but they lost their way from there on! Once Wafa launched a counter attack they just didn't have any answers to him! The use of their premium bowlers within the powerplay itself also proved to be costly for them as they didn't really have any specialists  at the death to save the game for them!

8.1 Hamid Sulehri to Farhad Sahak, FOUR! GAME, SET AND MATCH! Wafa, the hero is being covered around in the field by his teammates as Kristianstad win the Bronze Final and finish third in the competition with that. Full toss outside the off-stump, Sahak swings but takes the outside edge, down to third-man for a boundary. What a win, from being 4-4, they storm back into the game and won the game in style with plenty of deliveries still to spare.

7.6 Share Ali to Akmal Popal, FOUR MORE! Drops it short on the off-stump, Popal looks to pull but top edged it over the keeper's head, runs away for another boundary. Now the wheels are coming off now for Marsta!

7.5 Share Ali to Akmal Popal, FOUR! SHOT! Popal doesn't want to leave it till the end. Length delivery on the stumps, Popal sits on knee and clobbered the sweep to deep square-leg for a boundary.

Farhad Sahak, RHB, comes to the crease.

End of an unbelievable knock from Wafa and is there another twist in the tale? KCC surely are not loosing this one from here on!

7.2 Share Ali to Ihsanullah Wafa, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Is it too late for Marsta? Share Ali gets the big wicket of Wafa, he went to swipe it hard and misses it completely, through to rattle the stumps. Can Marsta make a come back to win this?

Ihsanullah Wafa b Share Ali 72(20b, 5x4, 8x6)

Share Ali, right arm leg break, comes into the attack.

Another huge over for KCC and they're cruising ahead in this game now! Akmal Popal joined the party too in that over and he has got himself going now! They just need another 13 runs from the final three overs.

6.5 Nazmul Hashan to Akmal Popal, SIX MORE! Alright, now Popal joins the party. Short on the middle and off, Popal reaches and POWERS it over deep square-leg fence for a maximum.

6.4 Nazmul Hashan to Ihsanullah Wafa, pace off, full and wide of off-stump. Wafa walks across off-stump and drilled it to deep covers for one.

6.3 Nazmul Hashan to Ihsanullah Wafa, SIX! BOOM! That is a monstrous hit from Wafa. Length delivery outside the off-stump, Wafa swings and DISPATCHED it way over deep covers for another maximum.

6.2 Nazmul Hashan to Ihsanullah Wafa, EDGED AND FOUR! Rub of the green going Kristianstad's way. Wafa swung and swung hard, takes a thick outside edge, flies down to third-man for another boundary. Marsta looking clueless from the onslaught of Wafa here, what a player!
