Fresh Tropical win by 4 wickets with 11 balls to spare and take Bronze! 

Irfan Shaikh 48* (12) | Ahmadullah Safi - 2/14 (2)
Sajid Afridi 56* (25) | Anwar Attieq - 2/23 (2)

It wasn't a big target to chase for the batters of Fresh Tropical. Even if they made a slight heavy weather of it, they were able to chase it down quite convincingly in the end with the help of the openers and Irfan Shaikh. 

The first wicket partnership between Zain Naqvi and Amir Sharif was of 59 runs in 26 balls. Both batters scored 60 runs between them and provided the platform for the rest to finish things off. 

There was a bit of a stutter after that as next 5 wickets fell for only 30 runs in the space of 17 deliveries, but Irfan steadied the ship from then and managed to take his side home with the captain, Zahid Cheema at the other end.

Barring Javed Muhammad, all the other bowlers were among the wickets for Brescia Cricket Club but they just did not have enough runs on the board to put the pressure on the batting right to the end! 
8.2 Imran Naveed to Irfan Shaikh, THE BRONZE FINAL GOES TO FRESH TROPICAL! Full and WIDE outside the line of off-stump. Irfan leaves this alone on line and gets the call from the umpire! 
8.1 Imran Naveed to Zahid Cheema, full around off-stump. Stroked away on the up to the deep cover region for a single to level the scores!
