MATCH OVER!

Alby Zalmi won by 38 runs!

Alby Zalmi 154/5 (10)
Stockholm Tigers 116/5 (10)

Faruk Ahmed 46 (27) | Ahmed Kawser 19 (11)

Azam Khalil 2-0-18-2 | Advait Dhabe 1-0-6-1

What a comprehensive performance from Alby Zalmi as they wrap up a 38-run victory over Stockholm Tigers. Chasing 155 for victory, Stockholm Tigers were always up against the odds and they got off to a relatively slow start in the Powerplay. The opening pair of Faruk Ahmed and Ahmed Kawser eventually got going in the fourth over as the Tigers got some hope. 

However, Javid Dawoodzai castled Kawser in the sixth over to get a key breakthrough for Alby Zalmi. In the very next over, the Tigers were handed a body blow when Faruk gave an easy return catch to Azam Khalil. Wickets continued to tumble as Qudratullah Mir Afzal removed Akash Islam for a first-ball duck. Azam made it two scalps for himself too as he castled Shubha Rakshit with a quicker delivery in the penultimate over. In the end, the young Advait Dhabe was given an over and he too impressed by dismissing Rizvi Hoque as the Tigers ended up with just 116/5!
