Commentary

Not a commanding win for Stockholm MI chasing a low total on the board but they would take it. The credit should be given to Umea bowlers for not making this chase easy for Stockholm as they bowled brilliantly until the 8th over. Sohai Adnan was impressive in the powerplay as he took two key wickets to give his team some belief after a poor batting performance.

Amir Husseini in the middle overs bowled superbly and his two tight overs kept Umea in the contest, but Manavalan's 11-run over made things easy for Stockholm in the end. Shekhar Singh was the top scorer with the bat as he hung tough at the crease, despite the wickets falling at the other end.

The bowlers enjoyed a lot of purchase on this wicket in the first match, and hope the batters from both teams entertain us in the next match, which is a few minutes away from now. Let's see what happens in the second encounter, but for now, this is Pragadeesh signing off on behalf of my fellow colleague, Bidipto. Cheers.

Shekhar Singh is keeping Stockholm in the contest. Manavalan leaked a few runs unlike the other bowlers and Stockholm MI could fancy chasing this now
