Match summary

England XI beat Malta by 4 wickets

Thomas Bevan 58 (22) | Toby Greetwood 3/3 (2)
Basil George 84 (33) | fayan Mughal 2/27 (2)

England XI have won this one with some fight as a head to head clash just turned out a smooth sail for them towards the end. They were struggling with the falling of the wickets but Enmgland XI just find new ways to comeback into the compoetition and eventually win and well, that is exactly what happened in this one.

England XI started things off on a good note, but little did they know about the storm that was coming to them. The bowling side managed to get 4 wickets coming in a clash! Malta was absolutely acing it and in the midst of all of this chaos waled in Thomas Bevan, who absolutely aced it with the blade as he managed to hit the big runs with all the pressure. While the wickets were falling on the other end, he was hitting the big runs on the other as he kept the comeptition alive. It was the last over drama that ECC was craving which we got in this match as the bowlers had to give up 5 runs due to the over-rate which made it twice as easy for the batters to hit the winning runs.
