Commentary

This is me, Mohul Bhowmick, signing off on behalf of my partner Soumarya Dutta from the first semifinal of the ECS Krefeld, Germany competition. Dusseldorf Blackcaps beat Golden Star Bonn by a comfortable margin. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more such action coming your way!
Dusseldorf Blackcaps beat Golden Star Bonn by 17 runs!

Jamshed Khan 52 (23) | Muhammad Raheel 3-14
Syed Naqvi 39* (22) | Harsha Parupalli 2-15

Golden Star Bonn tried their best to chase these runs down, but could not quite do so in the end. They were almost there at one stage of the game, but the disciplined bowling of Dusseldorf Blackcaps, led by Puneet Kumar, Abdulmajeed Ahmadzai and Muhammad Raheel ensured that the former could not quite come to grips with the asking rate. 

For large chunks of the game, Golden Star Bonn were behind the asking rate, and this hurt their chances tremendously. Dusseldorf Blackcaps were the deserving winners of this game, although they had to do so by the skin of their teeth at the very last moment. 

The final over bowled by Jamshed Khan- who also starred for them with the bat in hand- was critical and the former delivered. He picked up two wickets in two deliveries and ensured that Dusseldorf Blackcaps were able to win this game and go through in the tournament!

9.6 Jamshed Khan to Zakir Khan, OUT!!! The Blackcaps go through to the final and they've upset the much fancied side here. It was hit to mid wicket by Khan and he ran for the single. He was run out at the bowlers end and the Golden Star Bonn will end up with 103/7 in their 10 overs.

Zakir Khan run out (Puneet Kumar/Jamshed Khan) 0 (3b 0x4 0x6)
9.5 Jamshed Khan to Zakir Khan, slower ball. It's a swing and a miss from the batter and the win is almost certain for the Blackcaps now. 
9.4 Jamshed Khan to Zakir Khan, full and wide outside the off stump. Khan looks to hit it but misses. 
Zakir Khan, RHB, is in at 8.
9.3 Jamshed Khan to Rahim Nawabi, OUT!! It was right into the block hole and Jamshed gets his second wicket. Nawabi is gone first ball and the chances of a win for GSB are getting slimmer.

Rahim Nawabi b Jamshed Khan 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
Rahib Nawabi, RHB, is in at 7.
9.2 Jamshed Khan to Charchil Gajera, OUT!! Gajera is gone. It was bowled at the stumps and Gajera was adjacent to the stumps. It will be a much needed wicket.

Charchil Gajera lbw b Jamshed Khan 8 (7b 1x4 0x6)
9.1 Jamshed Khan to Charchil Gajera, FOUR!!! It was a misfield from Raheel down at long off and it will be a boundary instead of a single. 
Jamshed Khan [1-0-16-0] will bowl the final over.

Things are coming down to the last over here! Golden Star need 22 runs off six balls. It seems a rather unlikely event of them pulling this off, but one cannot quite rule them out either.
