PRAGUE TIGERS CC win by 7 runs! 

Sojib Miah 68 (20) | Sagor Hossain - 2/20 (2)
Kriten Gurung  72* (34) | Vasanth Kumar - 1/22 (2)

This was a good run chase, but Moravian CC could not quite get the job done tight towards the end! Prague Tigers CC held on to their nerves and produced three top deliveries right at the end to close out the match! 

The opening partnership between Kriten Gurung and Abhishek Parker put Moravian in front. They scored 85 runs in 5.1 overs and gave the fielding side more than a scare! 

Prague Tigers were able to pick up Om Sharma really quickly, but Manish Varshney chipped in with a handy 12-ball 18 to support Kriten, who brought up an impressive half-century! 

There were as many as 21 runs given away as extras and no bowler went for less than 10.00 RPO. However, when it mattered, they bowled those crucial dot balls and did not let the pressure off the batters. 

In the end, the decision from Amin Hossain to come round the wicket with 8 runs to defend off 3 balls proved to be the key as only 1 run could be scored after that! 

With this win, Prague Tigers CC move up to 17 points while Moravian CC, as disappointed as they are, stay on 11 points. 

9.6 Amin Hossain to Kriten Gurung, A CLOSE VICTORY FOR PRAGUE TIGERS CC! Full on leg-and-middle. Heaved off the thick inside edge to square-leg for just the single and that is the match to the Tigers! 

9.5 Amin Hossain to Kriten Gurung, good length ball outside off-stump. This is wide but not quite wide enough for it to be called and the big swing through the line gets missed! 

9.4 Amin Hossain to Kriten Gurung, short and angled across the right-hander. A swing and a miss from the back foot across the line here! Dot ball. 

9.3 Amin Hossain to Kriten Gurung, FOUR! Short and wide outside off-stump. Cut away to the right of third man from the back foot for a boundary! 

9.2 Amin Hossain to Kriten Gurung, SIX! Short and too wide outside off-stump. Kriten slashes hard and gets good enough bat on it. Deep extra cover comes into play again but this time, takes the catch to go over the rope with the ball! 

9.1 Amin Hossain to Manish Varshney, good length ball around off-stump. Manish moves forward and slaps to the deep extra  cover fielder who does really well to stop three runs! 

8.2 Ajhar Alam to Kriten Gurung, FIVE WIDES! Full and fired down the leg-side. This beats everyone down to the fine-leg fence on this occasion! 

7.6 Sagor Hossain to Kriten Gurung, FIVE RUNS! Full on off-stump. Nicely drilled out of the block hole to the left of the bowler but he gets a hand to it. One run taken and then, a catastrophic throw to the keeper ends up being overthrows for four more runs!
