Goodbye for now!

Victories don't come as emphatically as this in this format, 7 wickets and 17 balls to spare! The Wild Panthers never looked like they were going to impose much threat with the bat early on, especially with the run out of danger-man Azhar Andani. Arslan Naseem and Dikshit Patel spent a lot of time at the crease but did not yield much in return. The duo did try to go for the big hits, but by then, they couldn't connect, the pressure kept mounting, and soon enough, both were dismissed. The Patels, Dhaval and Mitul, tried upping the ante to an extent, and Manjeet Singh's 3-ball 8 helped the Panthers get to 80.
Mohammad Asaduzzaman braved an injured calf muscle and smashed the life out of the game right at the beginning. His 8-ball 21 handsomely set the platform for the rest of the batters to cruise through; there wasn't too much pressure inflicted, particularly with the fielding standards presented by the Panthers. The Panthers, though, were chipping away with a wicket every now and then, but Mohammad Jayed Alam and Md Abdul Motin's presence at the crease helped Friendship CC get past the line without fretting much.

7.1 Azhar Andani to Md Abdul Motin, FOUR! THAT'S IT! IT'S ALL OVER! Back of a length on the fourth stump, Motin clears his front foot and smacks it straight back past the bowler, runs down to the fence and finishes the innings in style for Friendship CC as they pick up their crucial two points!

6.6 Manjeet Singh to Md Abdul Motin, change of pace, Motin waits for the short delivery on the outside off, swats it down to long-off for a single. Friendship CC need just 4 now!

6.4 Manjeet Singh to Md Abdul Motin, SIX! Monumental hit from Motin, back of a length on the off-stump, Motin clears his front foot and SMOKES it over deep mid-wicket fence for a huge maximum!

6.3 Manjeet Singh to Mohammed Jayed Alam, back o fa length on the outside off, Alam on the backfoot pushes it into the off-side for a sharp single.

6.2 Manjeet Singh to Mohammed Jayed Alam, back of a length on the outside off, Alam has an almighty swing at that, top edge's it straight up, point fielder sits under it and spills it, they come back for a brace.

6.1 Manjeet Singh to Mohammed Jayed Alam, short delivery into Alam on the middle and leg, he went to pull that one away but doesn't connect all that well, goes one bounce to the long-leg fielder for a single.

5.6 Mitul Patel to Md Abdul Motin, FOUR! Length delivery on the leg-stump, in the slot as Motin whips that one away to deep square-leg and gets off the mark with a boundary!

5.5 Mitul Patel to Md Abdul Motin, full delivery, tails in sharply into Motin who misses the whip, thuds on the pad on to the on-side for no run.
