PTC vs VCC

Vinohrady - 86/4 in 9.4 overs (Siddarth Goud 40 off 31 balls, Sahadat Hossain 2/14 in 2 overs) beat Prague Tigers - 85/8 in 10 overs (Alamin Hossain 16 off 7 balls, Shubhranshu Chaudhary 3/18 in 2 overs) by 6 wickets with 2 balls to spare.

This was a classic match! A real humdinger of a contest but in the end, Vinohrady held on to their nerves to give themselves a very important win at just the right time.

Vinohrady kind of left it a bit late even after batting really well but the overs from Alamin Hossain and some poor pieces of fielding from the Prague Tigers gave away the runs required for the batting side to win.

The bowling otherwise was tight, not allowing the batters to get away with the scoring and the fielding initially was very good, showing the intent of defending the runs. 

But some good work with the bat from Siddarth Goud and some timely presence of mind from the rest of the batters, took Vinohrady over the line. Although, there were a couple of needless run outs. 

That will be all from this match at the Vinor Cricket Ground in Prague, stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more action from ECS Czech Republic 2022. For now, this is the pair of Abhinav Singh and Bidipto, saying good bye!

9.4 Alamin Hossain to Vojta Hasa, VINOHRADY GET OVER THE LINE. JUST. Short in length wide outside off. Hasa on the backfoot carves the ball straight to deep point and strolls across for a single to reach the victory shores

9.3 Alamin Hossain to Vojta Hasa, FOUR! KICKED IT OVER! Dug in short wide outside off. Hasa rises with the bounce and crunches the ball to the left of deep backward point. The fielder scampers across rapidly but the ball hits his leg and parries over the fence for a boundary 

9.2 Alamin Hossain to Joe Cope, fuller length ball slanting into the batter. Cope standing on the crease is struck on the back leg as the ball rolls to extra cover for a single off leg bye 

9.1 Alamin Hossain to Siddarth Goud, RUNOUT! Half volley bowled wide outside off. Goud on the frontfoot drives the ball, along the ground to wide long off for a couple. However, for reasons unknown, Goud attempts a third run and is found well short of the crease. Just not what Vinohrady wanted!

But wait a minute, the replays show that the keeper has dislodged the stumps using his shoulder! However, he is still given OUT!

Siddarth Goud run out (Alamin Hossain/Tanzir Hasan) 40 (31) (2x4, 1x6)

Vojta Hasa, RHB, is at the crease.

Alamin Hossain [1.0-0-11-0] is back to bowl.

A good over from Ajhar Alam. Just what his team needed. They now have given themselves the chance to defend the runs in the last over, have the Prague Tigers. And the batters of Vinohrady now look edgy, even after the six that got hit. There is desperation in their batting that can be made use of by the bowling team. 

8.6 Ajhar Alam to Siddarth Goud, RUNOUT! Half volley bowled wide outside off. Goud gets the toe end of the bat down to long off for a couple. However, Venkatesh attempts a third but cannot get back in time and has to run all the way across to the pavilion

Venkatesh Marghashayam run out (Ajhar Alam/Tanzir Hasan) 13 (14) (1x4)

8.5 Ajhar Alam to Siddarth Goud, SIX! DEPOSITED! Overpitched ball bowled in the slot. Goud clears the front leg and thumps the ball high and mighty over the deep midwicket fence for a MAXIMUM 

8.4 Ajhar Alam to Siddarth Goud, fuller length ball bowled in the channel outside off. Goud in late on the ball as he attempted to run it down to third man

8.3 Ajhar Alam to Venkatesh Marghashyam, slow, length ball on stumps. Venkatesh walks across and attempts to paddle the ball behind keeper. However, he gets the glove on it down to fine leg for a single 

8.2 Ajhar Alam to Venkatesh Marghashyam, length delivery bowled at excess pace on the fifth stump line. Venkatesh goes for the square cut but cannot make any contact  

Vinohrady have managed to get a boundary in the over to keep up with the asking rate and have also kept wickets in hand for the last two overs. They do not have to panic at this stage and keep going in this manner, but, if there is a group of dot balls suddenly, it will add to the pressure. 

7.6 MD Rasel Miah to Venkatesh, a fuller length ball hanged wide outside off. Venkatesh throws the kitchen sink at it but cannot get anywhere near the ball
