Waleed Imran 29 (16) | Hardeep Singh - 1/10 (2)
Asif Ataur 53 (32) | Md Omar Faruk - 3/21 (2)

This was a tremendous contest! Not many would have given Team Tigers Portugal much of a chance in this game but they punched above their weight and performed superbly! However, the experience and the quality of handling pressure proved to be the ones that helped Gorkha XI win the match! 

Team Tigers Portugal were able to chip away with the wickets from the start and kept applying the pressure on the batting. But what did not help them was the 12 extras that were conceded. 

Gorkha experimented a bit too much with their batting order and got found out a bit. But the good thing about the run chase was that they kept themselves up with the asking rate all the time. 

A fantastic game of T10 cricket comes to an end then with Gorkha taking their fourth win of the competition! That will be all from this match, this is the pair of Pradeep and Bidipto, saying good bye! Keep following Sportskeeda. 

9.3 Muhammed Bakor to Fakhrul Hussain, WIDE! THAT'S IT! Anti-climatic end to the game this as Gorkha 11 just manage to hold on to their nerve as they pick up another win. Short and goes way outside the off-stump, called a wide and Gorkha seal the game with four deliveries to go.

9.2 Muhammed Bakor to Fakhrul Hussain, back of a length on the fourth stump. Fakhrul chopped it straight to short cover. Gurbhej takes off but was sent back in time.

9.1 Muhammed Bakor to Gurbhej SIngh, back of a length on the fourth stump. Gurbhej has a swing and a miss. Keeper doesn't collect neatly and they end up stealing the bye.

9.1 Muhammed Bakor to Gurbhej SIngh, WIDE! Too straight to begin with it, drifts this one down the leg-side, called a wide. Just 2 needed now!

Muhammed Bakor [1.0-0-13-0] comes back into the attack.

What a match this is turning out to be! With only 1 wicket in hand, Gorkha XI need only 3 more runs to win! It cannot get tighter than this, can it? 

8.6 Mujibur Rahman to Fakhrul Hussain, SIX! BOOM! Stupendous hit from Fakhrul and he's brought Gorkha 11 right back in it and in touching distance now. Back of a length on the stumps. Fakhru stands tall and just flicked it, that goes all the way over deep square-leg fence for a maximum.

8.5 Mujibur Rahman to Fakhrul Hussain, FOUR! Back of a length on the stumps. Fakhrul clobbers it to deep square-leg, fielder runs around the ropes but can't stop it, it's a much needed boundary for Gorkha 11!

8.3 Mujibur Rahman to Amandeep Ghumman, OUT! PICKS OUT LONG-OFF! This game continues to swing like a pendulum. Length delivery on the off-stump. Amandeep smacked it straight down the throat of long-off and has to go.

8.2 Mujibur Rahman to Fakhrul Hussain, back of a length on the fourth stump. Hussain has a big swipe across the line and misses, bad bounce for the keeper and they steal a bye.

Mujibur Rahman [1.0-0-15-1] comes back into the attack.

Right, so, Gorkha XI require 16 runs off the last 2 overs with 2 wickets left! Still either side's game this, still either side's game! What a contest this has been! 

7.6 Md Omar Faruk to Fakhrul Hussain, SIX! BANG! That is a stunning hit from Hussain. Skips down the track for the length delivery and Hussain CLOBBERS it all the way over long-on fence for a maximum to finish the over.

7.5 Md Omar Faruk to Amandeep Ghumman, back of a length on the stumps. Amandeep swipes it hard but finds the deep square-leg fielder for one.

7.4 Md Omar Faruk to Amandeep Ghumman, EDGED AND FOUR! Length delivery on the fourth stump. Amandeep has a big swing across the line but top edged it over the keeper's head, runs away and finds the ropes.

7.3 Md Omar Faruk to Fakhrul Hussain, length delivery on the fourth stump. Hussain drilled it straight to the extra-cover fielder for a single.
