RUR vs BOB

It was sheer dominance from the Ruwi Rangers as they thoroughly outplayed the Bousher Busters in all three departments of the game. The Buster seemed they were lost for the majority of the game. The Rangers made light work of the target and that has bring us to the end of Sportskeeda's coverage from this encounter. Like always, it was a pleasure bringing all the live updates from this encounter. Till the next time, this is me (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator and good mate Rajarshi Das. Goodnight!

Kaleemullah is the Player of the Match. Here is what he had to say: Yes this is my 3rd man of the match. I am bowling well in the nets and my captain and coach gave me a lot of confidence. I have shown my abilities with the ball in the tournament so far. It was good to bowl on this wicket. The captain asked me to hit the deck and try to hit the ball on the seam. I enjoyed Asif Khan's wicket. The ball rose from a good length and that is what I was trying to do. This is the same combination with which we will go in the final.

Ruwi Rangers won by 9 wickets (with 64 deliveries to spare)

Hannan Rizwan 35*(22) | Kaleemullah 4/32(3.5)
Adeeb Usmani 21(19) | Aqil Khan 1/13(2)


It was a thoroughly dominating showing from the Ruby Rangers as they made light work of the target of 101, as they coasted home in the 10th over with 9 wickets in hand. Naseem Khushi and Hannan Rizwan looked in disdainful touch right from the outset and there was no stopping their carnage. Hannan started off with a boundary before Naseem clubbed one over the widish long on fence to start the onslaught. It was clinical hitting till the time he was in the middle. 

He smashed 32 off just 13 deliveries which included a couple of fours and 3 sixes. It was proper carnage as he kept clearing the boundary with utmost ease. It required a pearler from Aqil Khan to send back Naseem. It was an arm ball which came back in quite a bit and distributed his timbers. Despite his wicket, Rizwan continued the charge and kept finding the boundaries. It was Khalid Kail who joined in the act towards the final stages of the game. 

None of the bowlers could make an impact and the strokeplay made it evident that the pitch was a belter and it was a poor show from the Busters which had them in all sorts of strife. In the end the Rangers won inside the 10th over. Rizwan remained unbeaten on 35 off 22 deliveries which included 5 fours and a six while Khalid Kail scored 31 off 23 deliveries which was laced with 4 fours and a six.

9.2 Asif Khan to Khalid Kail, SIX! That'll do nicely, Rangers coast to the final! Short of a length delivery around off, Kail rocks back and across, goes for the pull and makes ample contact. The ball flies over the hoardings at square leg, sparking celebrations among the Ruwi Rangers camp!

9.1 Asif Khan to Hannan Rizwan, on a good length around off, Rizwan looks to glance towards the leg side but is caught on the pads. The players appeal, but to no avail. Khan mockingly asks for a review - no reviews here, lad!

A hat trick or boundaries for Khalid Kail in that over and he has also got into a rhythm. He needed to spend some time in the middle before the final and he is having a good hit out in the middle.  

8.5 Aqib Ilyas to Khalid Kail, FOUR MORE! Ilyas dishes out a full toss on leg stump, Kail has a waft at it, connects well enough to beat the man at short fine, and collects the boundary!

8.4 Aqib Ilyas to Khalid Kail, FOUR MORE! Much more elegant, that! Full on off stump from Ilyas, Kail strides forward, meets this one with the full face of the bat, and drives the ball down the ground for a boundary!

8.3 Aqib Ilyas to Khalid Kail, misfield....FOUR! Short of a length outside off, Kail rocks back, and pulls this one towards the left of the man at mid wicket. The fielder out there puts in the slide but lets it through

8.2 Aqib Ilyas to Hannan Rizwan, short of a length outside off, Rizwan goes for a slog, doesn't meet it right, and has to be content with the single

8.1 Aqib Ilyas to Khalid Kail, Ilyas switches to medium pace - he dishes this one just outside off, Kail punches the ball down to long on for a run

This has been so easy for the Rangers. Wasn't a bad over from Asim Kamal but that won't have any bearing on the outcome of the game. Runs coming only in singles in that over. This has been a dominating show from the Rangers.

7.4 Asim Kamal to Hannan Rizwan, full outside off, Rizwan attempts a slog, but finds the man at deep mid wicket having not have met the ball well enough
