Commentary

So, with that, we come to the end of Eliminator 1 in ECS Switzerland, 2023. But, do switch tabs and join us for Eliminator 2 beginning in about 25 minutes from now. This is the pair of Rudransh and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!
Zurich Nomads CC win by 9 wickets with 25 balls to spare and qualify for the Qualifier! 

Faheem Nazir - 62* (21) and 2/11 (2)
Muhammad Jafer - 30* (10) and 1/13 (1)

If neutrals were following this, they would be disappointed as there was hardly a contest in the second innings! Zurich Nomads CC annihilated the home team within 6 overs to make the Qualifier later in the day. 

Faheem Nazir and Hassan Ahmad put together 83 for the 1st wicket in 4 overs and took the game away from St Gallen CC right there! While Hassan was dismissed for 30 off 11 balls, Nazir remained unbeaten on 62 off only 21 deliveries. Qateel Zabiullah stayed not out on 12, striking at 240. 

The bowling and fielding from St Gallen CC were all over the place. They could not quite execute plans and were put to the sword every almost every time. There were 11 extras given away as well. 

With this result, the hosts bow out of the tournament but the Nomads march on, hoping to win the next one and enter the Final! 
5.6 Shoaib Najibzad to Faheem Nazir, THAT'LL DO! This is on a good length on the body and Nazir flicks it to square leg, the ball didn't reach the boundary but Nazir just strolled to the other end with a swagger he deserved after playing such a knock! Nomads win by 9 wickets!
5.4 Shoaib Najibzad to Faheem Nazir, FREE HIT! Wide outside the off-stump, Nazir swings and misses
Free-hit loading here! Scores are level. 
5.4 Shoaib Najibzad to Faheem Nazir, NO BALL! SIX! High full toss, pulled to mid-wicket for another SIX! It's seven runs and the scores are level! 
5.3 Shoaib Najibzad to Faheem Nazir, FOUR! Full on the middle and he flashes the flick for a boundary to mid-wicket!
5.2 Shoaib Najibzad to Faheem Nazir, full and wide, pushed to covers. No run.
The 100 is up for Zurich Nomads CC! 
5.1 Shoaib Najibzad to Faheem Nazir, FOUR! FIFTY FOR NAZIR! Full and wide, driven over covers for a double-bounce boundary!
Shoaib Najibzad, right-arm medium fast, is into the attack.

Under 20 runs to win now with five more overs left! Zurich Nomads CC have nine wickets in the bank as well. This is way too easy at the moment!

Qateel Zabiullah, RHB, is at the crease.
