BUL vs TUR

That brings us to the end of our coverage for this encounter. Till the next time, this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator and good mate Mohul Bhowmick. 

Bulgaria won by 7 wickets (with 13 deliveries to spare)

Bulgaria 94/3 in 7.5 overs

Bakhtiar Tahiri 27(11) | Manan Bashir 22(10)
Muhammad Fahad 1/7(1) | Gokhan Atta 1/11(2)

Bulgaria ended up making light work of the target of 94 runs as some good hitting towards the start and some sensible batting towards the end overs, ensured an easy victory for Bulgaria. They needed this win after going down against Greece in the first game of the day. Manan Bashir came out all guns blazing and struck some lusty blows to get going. 

Kushaal Krishnakumar also gave him good support and after his departure, it was Krishnakumar who took the onus to play the big shots. Bashir was dismissed for 22 off 10 deliveries before Bakhtiar Tahiri continued the onslaught. It was delightful hitting and some sensible shots followed as well. He was eventually dismissed on 27 before Omar Rasool and Kevin D'Souza eventually finished the match off with more than 2 overs to spare. 

7.5 Murat Yilmaz to Kevin D'Souza, fuller-length on the pads, flicked away towards the deep square leg region for a single and that's the game set and match for Bulgaria. 

6.5 Gokhan Atta to Bakhtiar Tahiri, WICKET! On a length around the off-stump channel, Tahiri tries to pull that away, ends up slicing this straight down the throat of the backward point fielder. 

6.1 Gokhan Atta to Omar Rasool, FOUR! That has been smoked over covers for a boundary. Full and wide outside off and beautifully played by Rasool. 

Ataullah with a good comeback as the over progressed. However it was destroyed in the first two deliveries itself when Rasool smashed him for a four and a six before settling with a single for the next four deliveries.
