Commentary

That brings us to the end of the day at ECSN Portugal 2024. The action will resume tomorrow and so will our coverage. Time for me - Darpan Tikiya - to sign off. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda. 
Oeiras win by 65 runs. 

Oeiras 155/4 (10 overs)
Gurjit Singh 51*(17) | Deepu Mansurpuria 1/20

Fighters CC 90/7 (10 overs)
Hardeep Singh 55 (22) | Absar Alam 2/20

That innings went nowhere. Fighters CC might not have lost a wicket in the powerplay, but they were able to cross the boundary only once in the powerplay phase. It is not ideal when you are chasing 156 in a 10 over game.

Parminder Singh had a scratchy return of 4 from 16 balls. That was followed by two brilliant stumpings from Conrad Greenshields which meant that Mansurpuria and Sahota had to go back without even opening their accounts and Fighters CC were further deep in the quicksand.

There was a bit of a recovery, staged by Jatinder Singh and Hardeep Singh. But it was all too late. Oerias were largely clinical with the ball. And yet one more time in this series, they win with a bonus point.

Absar Alam2/20
9.6 Absar Alam to Kamal Kumar, OUT! But it is not a hattrick for the bowler. It is a run out. Full and wide outside off. The batter drags it back on his pads and they look to run one. The bowler picks up, lobs it to the skipper who whips the bails off. Virk was only a bit more than half way.

Varinder Virk run out (Conrad Greenshields) 7 (5b, 0x4, 1x6)
Kamal Kumar, RHB, comes in.
Hattrick ball coming up.
9.5 Absar Alam to Lalit Kumar, BOWLED!! Lalit attempts a similar swipe and misses the ball. Ends up losing the stumps.

Lalit Kumar b Absar Alam 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6)
Lalit Kumar, RHB, comes in.
9.4 Absar Alam to Hardeep Singh, BOWLED!! Full and straight. The bater had his front leg cleared already. He swung for the heavens and missed it.

Hardeep Singh b Absar Alam 55 (22, 2x4, 7x6)
9.3 Absar Alam to Varinder Virk, slower ball gone wrong. The batter receives it as a full toss but can only hit it to wide long on. Single. Now, they need 19 runs off 3 balls for a point. 
9.2 Absar Alam to Varinder Virk, HUGE! He stands tall and delivers a punch. Lofted drive over extra cover for maximum. 
9.1 Absar Alam to Varinder Virk, BUMPER TO START THE OVER! Virsk looks to play the upper cut and misses. They need 26 runs off five balls for a point.

Taj Muhammad1/8
8.6 Taj Muhammad to Hardeep Singh, length ball. He looks to whack it down the ground and misses. 
8.5 Taj Muhammad to Hardeep Singh, slower ball. Hardeep is flummoxed by it and in the end he leaves it for the keeper. Well, inside the tram line. 
8.4 Taj Muhammad to Varinder Virk, backs away. The bowler follows him. It sneaks through the gap between bat and the body. Greenshields makes an error and they run a bye. 
8.3 Taj Muhammad to Varinder Virk, looks to swing across the line. Makes no contact with the ball. 
New man in is Varinder Virk, RHB.
8.2 Taj Muhammad to Jatinder Singh, OUT!! He has edged that one to the keeper. Greenshields has done no wrong with the gloves today.

Jatinder Singh c Conrad Greenshields b Taj Muhammad 20 (10b, 3x4, 1x6)
8.1 Taj Muhammad to Jatinder Singh, angled across the left hander. The batter misses. Hardeep was half way down the wicket looking for a bye. In the end, he has to go back.
