Commentary

This has been Pradeep and myself (Rishab) then. The final game of the day coming your way in just a bit so do stay tuned to catch all the action from that clash as well!
Right then, a pretty one-sided affair as Prague CC complete a thumping 73-run win over Plzen Guardians in this clash. Prague CC had set this game up well with the ball and they had the runs on the board. Their bowlers then put up a fine display as well to make sure that they easily got the job done to win this game quite convincingly in the end. They kept the pressure on right from the start and there was no way Plzen were coming back in this match. 

A disappointing effort from Plzen with the bat as they failed to get going in the chase. The powerplay did not go well, they lost wickets and it was just too much for them to do with the bat. None other than their skipper Jatin Kumar could score runs and they have a lot of work to do going forward with both bat and ball. 

Another opportunity for them in the final game of the day to try and put up a better show. It will be a challenge for them to do so as well!
That is the end of the contest then. As expected, Prague CC registering a fine win comfortably after backing that performance with the bat in this innings with the ball as well!

9.6 Arun Ashokan to Prabhu Balakrishnan, THAT'S IT! Prague finish up a clinical display in their first game to notch up two points. Plzen Guardians have plenty to ponder on as they need to get things straight in lot of things. Short on the outside off, Prabhu swings hard and misses.

9.3 Arun Ashokan to Kapil Kumar, OUT! STUMPED! Another one bites the dust, Kapil too skips down the track to hoick but there was a huge extra-bounce, the keeper was taken by surprise but he does well to recover to hold on to it and disturbs the stumps as Kapil finds himself well short and has to go.

A fine all-round show from Sudesh this. He did it with the bat and this has been a decent spell with the ball even though he hasn't picked up a wicket. Good finish to the over eventually. Just an over of formality to go in this battle then!
