PLO vs MUT

That brings us to the end of our coverage for today's encounter. Till the next time, this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator and good mate Mohul Bhowmick. 

BSCU-MU Plovdiv won by 6 wickets (with 3 deliveries to spare)

Mohammad Sufyan 19(12) | Zain Asif 19(13)
Dave Patel 2/11(2) | Abbas Zaidi 1/13(1.3)


What a beautiful shot from Rahul Dambal to end the match. Full extension of the arms and it goes deep into the crowd clearing the long-on fence. The match went down to the wire but in the end, Dambal held his nerves and struck the maximum just when his team needed him the most. It was a good bowling effort MU Trakia but in the end, the target was way too less as BSCU-MU Plovdiv wins by 6 wickets. 

Muhammad Sufyan started the run chase with a massive blow over the midwicket fence and shared a good opening stand with Zain Asif. Sufyan was the aggressor among the two and found the boundaries quite consistently. Sufyan was dismissed by Dave Patel after scoring 19 off 12 deliveries. The middle overs was proving to be great for the bowling team. They needed someone who could strike a few boundaries and ease out the nerves if any

It was Roohaan Makhdoomi who provided the much-needed impetus at a crucial juncture of the game. He struck a four and a six while Sufyan and Asif also struck some exceptional shots during their brief stay in the middle. The match eventually went onto to the final over and despite 5 runs remaining, it could have gone either way. In the end, Damabl smashed a sensational shot down the ground to seal the deal for his team.  

9.3 Abbas Zaidi to Rahul Dambal, SIX! Game set and match. On a length around the middle-stump channel, Dambal waits for it and slams this away up and over and comfortably clears the long-on fielder. 

9.2 Abbas Zaidi to Shiv Patel, back of a length delivery a shade outside off, swiped away down the ground towards the long-on fielder for a single. 

Abbas Zaidi [1-0-6-1] will bowl the final over.

Plovdiv, quite foolishly, have taken this game down to the last over. In case they manage to fluff their chances here, they will not be able to recover from it.

8.3 Waleed Khan to Rahul Dambal, play and a miss. A spicy delivery from Waleed Khan, on a good-length angling across the left-hander, he goes poking at that and gets beaten on the outside edge. 

7.6 Abdur Khan to Rahul Dambal, fuller-length delivery a shade outside off, chipped away towards the mid-off region, from the lower half of the bat and a single taken. 

7.5 Abdur Khan to Roohaan Makhdoomi, WICKET! Makhdoomi ends up slicing that length delivery around middle stump over in the line, was close to the ropes but the fielder does well to keep his balance and cling onto that.

Roohaan Makhdoomi c Sanchit Saini b Abdur Khan 18 (10b 1x4 1x6)

7.3 Abdur Khan to Roohaan Makhdoomi, SIX! Fuller-length delivery around middle stump, Makhdoomi holds his shape and swings through the line, gets it from the middle of the bat and goes well over the long-on fence.
