BUG vs BAN

Bucharest Gladiators won by 9 wickets (with 12 deliveries to spare)

Bucharest Gladiators 106/1 in 18 overs

Tehzeeb Ul Hassan 58*(27) | Muhammad Moiz 44(19)
Kaluma Shamood 1/9(1)


It turned out to be a rather comfortable run chase for the Bucharest Gladiators as they romped home by 9 wickets and with 2 overs to spare. The target of 106 was not a match-winning one under any stress of imagination but Baneasa wouldn't have hoped that they will reach the target without breaking any sweat. The opening partnership between Tehzeeb Ul Hassan and Muhammad Moiz made all the difference. 

They started off sensibly before launching through the middle stages of the innings. Tehzeeb smashed some delightful shots during his breathtaking half-century. Moiz struggled to time the ball before getting to his own and eventually scored 44 off a mere 19 deliveries. His innings was studded with 3 fours and 4 sixes. He was dismissed with his team just a run away from the victory target. He shared a 105-run stand with Tehzeeb. The latter remained unbeaten on 58 off 27 deliveries, an innings studded with 7 fours and 4 sixes.
