Match summary:

Trentino Aquila win by 13 runs

Adeel Ahmed 28(22) | Ali Saqib Arshad 2/9 (2)
Naeem Ahmad 12(9) | Zahid Ali 1/10 (2)

This win will give a major, major boost to Trentino Aquila after the day that they had yesterday. Janjua Brescia had done little wrong in the competition thus far. Defending 75, their skipper, Ali Saqib Arshad got the ball rolling early with a superb spell of 2/9 in his 2 overs. He kept a really tight line throughout, keeping it at a length, and with Gurpreet Singh and Sadaqat Ali, began the chokehold on the Janjua Brescia batters right away.

The JB batters just couldn't break free at any stage. Wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals despite their batters' best efforts to force the scoring. Just a couple of boundaries were hit in the middle overs, as the Aquila bowlers kept applying the squeeze. The fielding from them was a lot, lot better today - they took their catches on a more regular basis. They now climb up to 7th in the points table.

9.6 Sadaqat Ali to Shazad Ahmed, Trentino Aquila win by 13 runs! This has been a terrific performance from them! Length ball on the fourth stump line, Ahmed gets onto the front foot and cautiously defends it into the off side. 

9.5 Sadaqat Ali to Zahid Ali, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! He's on a hat-trick here! Full and outside off, Zahid shuffles across and goes for the helicopter shot. Ends up getting it very high in the air and the bowler has ample of time to settle under that and pouch it!

Zahid Ali c & b Sadaqat Ali 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)

9.4 Sadaqat Ali to Kuldeep Lal, OUT! KNOCKS HIM OVER! Length ball on the middle stump, straight and pacy as Lal goes for the hock across the line. Fails to make any connection and the ball goes past his bat to rattle the stumps!

Kuldeep Lal b Sadaqat Ali 4 (5b 0x4 0x6)

9.3 Sadaqat Ali to Kuldeep Lal, back of a length ball outside off, Lal looks to pull it away but gets a top-edge on it down to deep third man for a couple of runs. And the umpire signals one short too! 

Sadaqat Ali (1-0-7-0) is back into the attack

Final over. 17 runs required. Trentino Aquila are all but there. Surely, they'll be able to defend this given how they've bowled so far?

8.6 Gurpreet Singh to Farhad Ali, length ball outside off, keeps low as Farhad swings across the line but misses. The batters look to take a single as the keeper fumbles but decide against it. A direct hit from the keeper would've found Farhad short of his mark! 

8.4 Gurpreet Singh to Farhad Ali, SIX! BOOM! They need a few more of this alright! Length ball on the middle stump angling in, Farhad picks that early as he swings across the line of the ball and misses that over the square leg region for a maximum! 

8.3 Gurpreet Singh to Naeem Ahmad, OUT! CAUGHT! Full and outside off, Ahmad looks to go big into the leg side but ends up slicing it in the air. The long off fielder runs in and pouches that pretty comfortably! 

Naeem Ahmad c Ashiq Awais b Gurpreet Singh 12 (9b 0x4 1x6)

8.2 Gurpreet Singh to Naeem Ahmad, SIX! BANG! They'll need more of those! Length ball angled onto the body, Ahmad swivels and picks that up off his hips. Gets it over the backward square leg region for a maximum!
