RACC vs GT

WOW! WHAT A CRICKET MATCH- A CLIFFHANGER FOR SURE! GENT DEFEAT ANTWERP BY 5 WICKETS.

One can only feel sorry for Antwerp for what seemed like a match that they let slip through their hands- quite literally. They were on top throughout the game, but capitulated under pressure in the last over.

With fourteen runs required, Gent found an unlikely hero in allrounder Sear Malik Khel, who smashed a six and a four off the last couple of deliveries to take them home. The six could have been prevented as veteran Sherry Butt misjudged his jump and ended up spooning the ball to the boundary line instead of catching it comfortably reverse-cup style.

Majid Ali (43) of Gent and Burhan Niaz (42) of Antwerp starred with the bat in this match while Waleed Azhar (3/6) and Faisal Khaliq (3/12), both of Gent, were the top performers with the ball.

Thus ends the first quarterfinal of this competition, but don't go anywhere just yet. The other knockout games are about to come your way, so stay tuned with us here on Sportskeeda. Until then, it is us- Mohul and Bidipto- signing off from this match. Take care!

9.5 Burhan Niaz to Sear Malik Khel, OH THAT IS FOUR! GENT WIN! ANTWERP ARE OUT! full on off, lofted over the top off the front foot, it goes high up in the air, straight up, the fielder from long-off goes back to try and take the catch, he settles under it, then misses it and then, it ends up rolling down to the fence with the fielder unable to stop it! WHAT A DRAMATIC TURN OF EVENTS! 

9.4 Burhan Niaz to Sear Malik Khel, A DROP AND A SIX! Low full toss outside off and hit hard over the top to long-on, where the fielder jumps to take the catch, misses it and tips it over the rope for a MAXIMUM! 

9.1 Burhan Niaz to Hakimi Nangyalay, FINE SHOT! Full on off, well struck down the ground on the charge and hit past the left of long-on for a boundary! 

8.5 Jelte Schoonheim to Sear Malik Khel, good length ball on off, it perhaps strikes the batter outside the line of off, the batter misses the hit and takes a leg-bye only. 

8.4 Jelte Schoonheim to Saif Rehman, BOWLED HIM! Full on middle-and-leg, the batter goes for a big hit through the off-side by staying leg-side of the ball, misses and the ball then rattles into the stumps! 

8.2 Jelte Schoonheim to Majid Ali, GONE THIS TIME! Fuller outside off, this gets slightly mishit to long-on and the fielder there takes a composed CATCH with fingers pointing up! 

8.1 Jelte Schoonheim to Majid Ali, SIX RUNS! Full toss down leg and this is brilliantly hit with the straight bat on the charge for a MAXIMUM over long-on! 

7.6 Saqlain Raja to Majid Ali, good length ball outside off, a hit and an outside edge, just over short third man and a single taken in the end!
