HAM vs MCC

That's all for this match from Sportskeeda's end, folks! The word from the ground is that Seaside will no longer participate in the tournament so the 2:30 match has been cancelled. But we have another interesting game lined up for you at 4:30 PM so have your coffee and lunches and we'll see you right here! For now, this is Bidipto and Rudransh signing off :)

Marsta CC win by 35 runs.

Shahid Mustafa 46* (22) | Hamid Sulehri 2/11
Arslan Ali 33 (15) | Humaiz Javed 1/21

159 was always going to be a tricky chase for Hammarby, although they had moments where it looked like they were in the driving seat. After opting to bat first, Haidar, Hossain and Mustafa led the attack for Marsta and, with help from Hammarby's poor fielding, took them to the above-par score. 

The chasing side started fluently, crisping out 62 runs before the fall of the first wicket. They only lost two more batters but none of Ahmad Khan, Humaiz Javed and Assadullah Javed could offer the consistency in boundary-hitting that was needed to chase this. 

Spin was king in both innings. When Hammarby were cruising it was Sulehri's slow left-arm spin that broke the back of the chase. He only went for 11 runs in his two overs, sucking all the momentum out.

Marsta now have five wins from six games while Hammarby couldn't be in a more dire position in the tournament. 

9.6 Piyal Rehman to Assadullah Javed, THAT WILL BE THAT! MARSTA CC WIN! Short and flat on off-stump. Defended back to the bowler off the back foot for no run. 

9.5 Piyal Rehman to Assadullah Javed, SIX MORE! Short and slow outside off-stump. Clobbered over wide long-off off the back foot for a huge one! 

9.4 Piyal Rehman to Humaiz Javed, good length flighted delivery outside off-stump. Dragged around off the back foot to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Baig killed the game there. No intent whatsoever from the Javeds. It was surprising to see them try and drive the ball at this stage instead of smashing it. Only formalities left.

8.4 Zairi Baig to Humaiz Javed, DROPPED! Short on off-stump. This is a top edge off the back foot with an attempted pull shot. But, the fielder at short fine-leg puts it down and gives away a run! 

8.3 Zairi Baig to Assadullah Javed, good length ball around middle-and-off. Guided down to the right of third man off the back foot for a single. 

8.1 Zairi Baig to Humaiz Javed, good length ball on the pads. A big heave across the line and a miss. The batters take a leg-bye to point though.

55 off 12 balls is in the impossible category now but if any two batters can chase that in this team, it's these two!
