PLO vs BAR

Thank you for joining us- Mohul Bhowmick and Pradeep- for this game in the ECS Bulgaria! We hope you enjoyed it. Barbarian CC go again in a short while when they take on MU Trakia. Join us for that by hopping tabs in about twenty minutes' time from now. It is bound to be as much as this one was. Until then, see ya!

Match over!

Barbarian CC beat Plovdiv by 7 runs!

Zain Asif 49 (17) | Umar Naveed 3/21
Mohammad Fayyaz 31* (21) | Vishal Kumar 2/17

Plovdiv tried their best to chase this total down and Zain Asif was instrumental in taking them close to the target. However, Asif departed on 49 and this left the onus entirely upon the other batters in the side, who could not quite step up to the plate. 

This meant that the game had to be taken down to the final over of the match. Needing ten runs off the last two balls, Plovdiv could no longer pull it off. This game ended up going in favour of Bulgarian CC, and what a win it was! They were given a real threat when Asif started showcasing his true colours, but after his dismissal, things ended up being a real breeze. 

Bulgarian CC will take this confidence into the next game that they play in the day, against MU Trakia a while from now. This was their second win of the day so far, and they will be surely hungry for more coming their way!

9.6 Mohammad Fayyaz to Umar Naveed, FAYYAZ HOLDS ON TO HIS NERVE! Barbarians pick up their second win of the game and two in a row at that. Full on the stumps, Naveed swings and miscued it down to long-on, falls safely as they pick up only a single.

9.4 Mohammad Fayyaz to Zain Abidi, OH! Another dot, brilliant from Fayyaz this. Full on the fourth stump, Abidi swings and misses. Fayyaz needs to get the two legal deliveries and they are good.

9.2 Mohammad Fayyaz to Zain Abidi, FOUR MORE! Abidi is turning it on for Plovdiv here. Length delivery on the leg-stump, Abidi heaves that one away, past the backward square-leg and finds the ropes.

9.1 Mohammad Fayyaz to Zain Abidi, EDGED AND FOUR! Back of a length on the fourth stump, Abidi has a wild swing at it, takes the inside edge and past the keeper, down to fine-leg for a boundary.

Mohammad Fayyaz [1-0-11-0] comes back into the attack.

This game is getting closer! Plovdiv need 18 runs to win it. They are on course for a well-earned victory but Barbarian CC are not going to let this game slip away from their hands.

8.1 Omer Malik to Umar Naveed, OH DEAR! Full and angled in on the leg-stump. Naveed gets inside the line to whip it but misses, whiskers past the leg-stump to the keeper who doesn't collect neatly as they take the bye.

Omer Malik [1-0-7-0] comes back into the attack.

Barbarian CC have managed to pull this back towards them from nowhere. This means that Plovdiv will now have to score 29 runs off the last two overs.
