Olten beat Geneva by 8 wickets! (D/L method)

Malyar Stanikzai 38 (11) and (2/21)
Massoud Kabir 57 (20) | Roshan Perera (1/9)

Olten have got a brilliant win here but you've got to feel for Geneva. They were batting so well. Malyar got both openers out early in just the first over but they had still reached 76 in five overs. Kabir came out with all guns blazing and hit everything on the leg side or down the ground for 20-ball 57. 

He was only getting better and looked set for a big one when rain interrupted and we had a long-ish delay. It was very heavy for about an hour but the umpires resumed the game as soon as it got a bit slow, perhaps to get it finished and have some time before the next match. DLS came into the picture and Olten got a target of 82 in five overs.

Malyar knew it was his day and came and smacked 33 runs off the first over against Khattak, setting up the match for an easy finish for Roshanth who just used the bad balls to kept the momentum going. Olten are now on 10 points, very close to the top spot in the table.

3.6 Roshan Perera to Muralitharan Gnanasekaram, SIX! That's game set and match. Short down the leg side and just helped away on it's way and it goes sailing over the deep fine leg fence.

Rain is pelting down heavily here. The teams want to go off but the umpires are pushing them to continue because it's only a matter of a few balls

3.3 Roshan Perera to Yashotharan Thirunavukarasu, WICKET! That was a short of a length delivery from Perera, Yashotharan goes for the pull and ends up getting a top edge which has been very well held by the deep midwicket fielder.

3.1 Roshan Perera to Yashotharan Thirunavukarasu, flicks this length delivery on the pads towards the fine leg region and returns for a brace.

Olten just need 9 runs off two overs to win here. What magnificent hitting this has been, almost like they are putting out all the anger from the loss in the previous game.

2.5 Zahidullah Abdullrahimzi to Roshanth Karunamoorthy, short of a length delivery from Abdul, pulled away toards the deep square leg region and returns for a brace. 

2.4 Zahidullah Abdullrahimzi to Roshanth Karunamoorthy, SIX! Again right in the slot around off and middle, swung away with all his might and manages to clear the long-on fence comfortably. 

2.3 Zahidullah Abdullrahimzi to Roshanth Karunamoorthy, SIX! That was on a length around the middle stump, swung through the line and comfortably clears the long-off fence. 

2.1 Zahidullah Abdullrahimzi to Yashotharan Thirunavukarasu, SIX! That was on a length a shade outside off, nailed down the ground from the middle of the bat and clears the long-off fence.
