That brings us to the end of our coverage for this match. It was Darpan Tikiya taking you through the action. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more. 
Cluj beat ACCB by 91 runs

Taranjeet Singh - 66 (20) | Harsha Kavinda - 3/8
Gohar Manan - 25 (12) | Ali Haider - 2/7 

It was always going to be an uphill climb for ACCB after Cluj batters put on exhibition of six-hitting and notched up a massive score of 190 on the board. 

Soon, ACCB found themselves feeling like a mountaineer running out of breath at the base of Everest. They were huffing and puffing with a long long way to go. The only man who presented a semblance of hope was Gohar Manan who faced a dozen deliveries and sent one-third of them to the fence. 

Once he chopped the ball on to his stumps, there wasn't much fight shown by ACCB. Cluj made the most of the opportunity and deployed their non-regular bowlers through the second half of the innings. Harsha Kavinda took grabbed his chance with glee and ended up with excellent figures of 2-0-8-3. He even overshadowed the splendid effort of the two leggies - Dilum and Chamalka Fernando - who bowled the more difficult overs with precision.
