Match summary:
VfB Gelsenkirchen won the toss and opted to bowl
Koln Cricket Club 93/8 (10 Overs)
Manav Panwar 37(15) | Rubesh Palaniappan 3/17 (2 overs)
VfB Gelsenkirchen 93/6 (10 Overs)
Muhammad Oweis 49*(34) | Akshay Dhani 2/6 (2 overs)
Match tied - VfB Gelsenkirchen win the Golden Ball.
Oweis holds his nerve! As cool as a cucumber he is after the ball bounces off the fielder at long-on, and Gelsenkirchen breathe, they get to breathe, they are still in the tournament! Look at Palaniappan, he's rushed off towards the dugout maniacally! Owies isn't able to get his half-century, but it matters the least to him, his team still have a chance of making it to the knockouts!
Koln did put up a great fight in their quest to defend the total of 93. They picked up a few early wickets, the pressure was on the batting team all along until Naresh Pavaluru joined Muhammad Oweis in the middle. Pavaluru's arrival injected some much-needed impetus into the chase and the hopes of Gelsenkirchen in this tournament. Muhammad Oweis, taking inspiration from the same, started to pepper the boundaries with some big hits and sweetly timed strokes. He continued to be the aggressor after Pavaluru's departure, and Arif Jamal accompanied him as they fought until the last ball of the match. Jamal fell short going for the winning run, and after 70 ECS matches, a match was decided by a Golden Ball. It was just about an extension of the final over, with Asmdin Zadran bowling to Oweis with a different non-striker. The non-striker, Rubesh Palaniappan's services weren't quite needed as Oweis hit the ball hard towards long-off, who botched up the stop, and VfB Gelsenkirchen had their first win of the tournament!

0.1 Asmdin Zadran to Muhammad Oweis, VfB GELSENKIRCHEN GET THE WIN VIA THE WIN OFF THE GOLDEN BALL! Full outside off, hit hard down the ground to long-off off the front foot, the fielder quickly comes it to stop it as the batters go for the second after completing the first, but then, the fielder gets a slight bad bounce and is unable to manage it, and then, he misfields and gives away a boundary! The pressure got to the fielder there and it cost him the match! But a much needed win this for Gelsenkirchen to keep themselves in the tournament still.
Wow! How often do we get to see a scenario like this? One ball, one golden ball to determine the winner after the scores are tied at the end of the 20 overs of the match! Both teams have discussions among themselves as to whom to bowl and whom to bat!
Okay, so Asmdin Zadran has been picked by Koln to bowl the ball! Rubesh Palaniappan has rushed out to the middle to join....Muhammad Oweis! Oweis will be the one on the hot seat, here we go! 2 off 1!

9.6 Asmdin Zadran to Muhammad Oweis, OUT! WE HAVE A GOLDEN BALL NOW! Fuller outside off, a swing and a miss, the keeper collects, and runs to the stumps, the batters try to run through for a single to win but then, the inevitable happens and the RUN OUT is inflicted at the striker's end even with the desperate dive!

9.1 Asmdin Zadran to Arif Jamal, PUT DOWN! Full outside off, an attempted swipe over cover, it gets sliced up to backward point and he DROPS IT! OH NO! And they run two!

Dhani with a crucial, crucial penultimate over for Koln! The equation is two runs a ball from the last over! Unfortunately for Gelsenkirchen, Oweis is off-strike!
