Liege- 102/7 in 10 overs lose to Ostend Exiles by 7 runs.
Hussainkhel Forqanullah 36 (16) | Faisal Mehmood 2/16 (2)

What a win, what a win for the Exiles. They have beaten the tournament favourites in a final over thriller to clinch victory by 7 runs. They have booked themselves a semi-final spot and they will fancy their chances to win this tournament.

The Exiles were off to a dream start dismissing four top-order batters within the powerplay. However, the duo of Munawar and Forqanullah fought back with a 44-run 5th wicket stand. Ibrahimkhel's 5-ball cameo to assist Forqanullah took Liege deep into the run chase and they were left with 11 runs to chase down in the last over. Manpreet Sandhu bowled one of the best final overs. He dismissed Forqanullah and conceded only 3 runs to take his side home.

9.6 Manpreet Sandhu to Ahmadzai Khan, swing and a miss once again from Ahmadzai! Liege are winners of the 4th Quarterfinal by a mere margin of 7 runs and book a spot in the last four!!!

9.5 Manpreet Sandhu to Adnan Razzaq, edged....Sultan is unable to gather it but prevents the boundary! They can only manage a single, the game is mathematically won by OEX!

9.4 Manpreet Sandhu to Ahmadzai Khan, swings, misses, Razzaq started to back up early, he hares to the other end, they get the single and Razzaq is back on strike!

Massive moment in the game! Manpreet has the enormous wicket of Forqanullah and this one surely swings the battle back in favour of the fielding side.

9.2 Manpreet Sandhu to Hussainkhel Forqanullah, OUT, edged and gone! Sandhu from round the wicket, keeps it well away from the hitting arc, well outside off, full in length, Forqanullah goes at it without much feet movement, manages a thick outer edge and the keeper takes a fine catch!

A comedy of errors, the Exiles are going to regret this. We are going the distance here, the match will be decided in the final over. 11 runs are needed and with Forqanullah still out there in the middle, Liege might be the slight favourites here. Manpreet Sandhu will bowl the final over.

8.6 Syed Shah to Hussainkhel Forqanullah, FOUR, four sketchy lucky runs for Liege! The batter has a swing to this full delivery, gets an inside edge, the ball sneaks past the left of the diving keeper and rushes to the ropes at deep fine leg!

8.5 Syed Shah to Adnan Razzaq, run out! Is it? Razzaq smashed this one straight to cover, they took off straightaway, Razzaq took an age to get to the other end, the bowler may have dropped the ball before breaking the wicket. In fact, the third umpire thinks the same!
