Match summary:

Swieqi United win by 58 runs

Muhammad Ajmal 57 (17) | Muhammad Ajmal 2/4 (1)
Suraj Darai 18 (7) | Tanka Kandel 2/35 (2)

Gzira United were always heading for a defeat the minute they lost Suraj Darai. The right-handed opener, who struck a 30-ball 80 in an unsuccessful run-chase the last time these two teams met, seemed to pick up from where he left off the last game, but his innings was cut short after he nicked one through to the keeper off Muhammad Ajmal. 

Achal Patel and Tanka Kandel tried to keep the run-chase alive, but the Swieqi United bowlers pressed a lid on them as the run-chase progressed. Both the batters, having played out too many dots, succumbed to scoreboard pressure. It was a case of going through the motions after that, and eventually, Swieqi United completed the double over Gzira United on the day.

9.6 Vidhu Krishnan to Buddhisagar Bhandari, full, fired in the blockhole, drilled towards the long on region for a single. That's that, Swieqi United take the game by 58 runs!

9.2 Vidhu Krishnan to Gunakhar Chapagain, full, close to the blockhole, Chapagain is struck on the pads trying to have a swing. The batters get two after an overthrow from the bowler

8.5 Peyas Bepari to Bhuwan Aryal, OUT! Full outside off, Aryal goes for a hoick aiming for long off, times it well, but doesn't get enough distance. The man at long off settles under it, takes the catch, and breaks into a jig!

Bhuwan Aryal c Imran Ameer b Peyas Bepari 12 (15b 2x4 0x6)

8.3 Peyas Bepari to Gunakhar Chapagain, FOUR! Full on leg stump, Chapagain creams it towards the man at mid on. He lets it through, so does the man in the deep, Chapagain gets a boundary out of nowhere!
