Match summary:
Antwerp won the toss and opted to bat
Antwerp 94/6 (10 Overs)
Qaarab Diwan Ali 34*(20) | Sohail Kalim 3/12 (2)
Ostend Exiles 69/8 (10 Overs)
Fawad Shinwari 21(15) | Sherkhan Sherzad 3/16 (2)
Antwerp win by 25 runs.
There was to be no more fireworks from the Exiles top-order this time! The Antwerp bowlers, hurt from the previous encounter, bounced back in grand fashion, backed up by some excellent fielding and catching! The start to the innings was rather similar to the one in the first - 3 wickets fell in next to no time with a meagre score on the board.
The entire top-order found the palms of the fielders all around the park. None of them were able to get going. Kalim could not replicate his entertainment from the first innings, he was brilliantly snaffled by the keeper in the 2nd over. It wasn't until Shinwari came in that the chase was being started to steered towards a direction, but eventually, even though Shinwari shortened the equation to the last over, he perished with 4 balls left and the game mathematically gone out of the Exiles' hands.

Shafiullah Zakhel2/6
9.6 Shafiullah Zakhel to Shahzad Aslam, ANTWERP ROAR BACK TO WIN THE SECOND CONTEST! Full and straight this time, Shahzad defends it out back to the bowler, no run. Antwerp win by 25 runs!
9.5 Shafiullah Zakhel to Wasiullah Aryan, darted in full on middle stump, Aryan squeezes it out into the leg-side for a single
9.4 Shafiullah Zakhel to Wasiullah Aryan, OH! Full and straight angled into the leg-stump line. Somehow missed the leg pole after Aryan swung and missed
9.3 Shafiullah Zakhel to Wasiullah Aryan, DROPPED! Full and straight, Aryan threw the kitchen sink at it but mistimed it back to the bowler. Taking him by surprise too, as he ends up dropping a sitter
Wasiullah Aryan, right-handed bat, comes to the crease
9.2 Shafiullah Zakhel to Fawad Shinwari, SHINWARI BITES THE DUST! Full delivery on the fifth stump line, Shinwari was lining up another slog sweep but only managed to sky a top edge towards cover. The fielder makes no mistake again. Antwerp have all but sealed the deal!

Fawad Shinwari c Bilal Mamundzai b Shafiullah Zakhel 21 (15b 2x4 1x6)
9.1 Shafiullah Zakhel to Shahzad Aslam, full and straight, Shahzad gets down on one knee for a slog sweep towards deep mid-wicket for one
Shafiullah Zakhel (1-0-4-1) is back into the attack
28 needed off the final over. This seems a bit too much for the Exiles to get. Shinwari needs to get as much strike as he can.

Nawaz Khankhel0/12
8.6 Nawaz Khankhel to Shahzad Aslam, searching for the yorker this time, Shahzad stays deep in his crease to heave this towards deep mid-wicket but it's only a single there
8.5 Nawaz Khankhel to Fawad Shinwari, back of a length angled into the right-hander, glanced to short fine leg for a quick run
8.4 Nawaz Khankhel to Fawad Shinwari, on the good length at middle stump, Shinwari sits down on one knee for the attempted ramp but can't beat short fine leg, no run
8.3 Nawaz Khankhel to Shahzad Aslam, back of a length delivery angled into Shahzad, deflects off his pads to roll behind square to allow a leg bye
8.2 Nawaz Khankhel to Fawad Shinwari, low full toss outside the off-stump, dragged towards deep mid-wicket but it's only a single there
8.1 Nawaz Khankhel to Shahzad Aslam, dropped! Back of a length angled into Shahzad, worked towards square leg where the fielder does brilliantly to stop a certain boundary. Harsh drop, yes, but he's saved three runs for his side
Nawaz Khankhel (1-0-8-0) is back into the attack
15 off the over! As long as Shinwari is still around, the Exiles are in with a chance! 33 needed off the last two overs!
