Commentary

That's it for this match, folks! Hope you enjoyed the coverage. This is Rudransh and Mohul signing off for Sportskeeda!
End of the match! Switzerland take the first dub of their home ECI by 58 runs!

Hassan Ahmed 65 (23) | Ashwin Vinod (4/24)
Sambhav Puri 39 (19) | Kamal Soukhiya (2/32) 

Big win for Switzerland and they completely deserved it for that bowling performance. 163 gave them a massive buffer but the bowlers just bowled in the areas throughout consistently. 

Skipper Packard hit a six and went back and the next seven batters recorded single-digit scores, including two golden ducks. Soukhiya, who was the pick of the bowlers in the first innings, showed some stylish shots for his 20 but crumbled under the pressure of falling wickets.

The match looked almost over when Tharanitharan bowled a double wicket maiden to reduce Luxembourg to 42/8 but Puri and Mayank provided an entertaining late flourish with their half-century partnership, as a consolation for the big defeat.

Decent ninth over but Luxembourg's ninth wicket partnership have saved them a big NRR hit. It will come in very handy if they are tied at points at the end of the group stage.
