A brilliant game of cricket. It swung everywhere and the better side - Malo - came on the top after a comeback with the bat in the first innings and an even more clutch comeback with the ball in the second innings. That's what sets them apart from the rest!

Oeiras looked to have taken the chase by the scruff of the neck and were going after it right form the 29-run first over. Even though they lost wickets regularly, they stayed in the game as every batter who came in continued to push the momentum with relentless ball-striking without taking any time.

The situation looked in their favor when they needed 21 off 2 overs but Zaib first and then Gondal bowled back-to-back clinical overs to cut off their wings in the chase. A really special win for Malo!

9.6 Adnan Gondal to Lakshan Weerakoon, KNOCKED HIM OVER! MALO QALANDARS WIN A THRILLER WHEN IT WAS GOING AWAY FROM THEM! Good length faster ball on middle-and-leg. A big heave attempted off the back foot over mid-wicket but missed. The ball then goes through the defenses and cleans Lakshan up!

Adnan Gondal [1-0-7-1] will bowl this

What an over from Zaib! He has snatched the game back for his team. OEI just looked nervous and submissive after losing that wicket. They could be in big trouble here. 16 off 6 needed.
