OVR vs SC

Overseas 66/4 in 10 overs
Iwan Stasch 16*(11) | Ishantha Kariyawasam 2/14
David Marks 14*(14) | Mahabub Rahman 1/12

It was a meek surrender from the Overseas in the end as they fell short by 69 runs in the end. It has been a comprehensive win for the Crusaders and they've clinched it in emphatic fashion in the end. They were always going to be favorites for winning this game, having put on 135 runs on the board, but they bowled relentlessly to ensure that they end up with the victory in the end. 

Most of the top order could hardly contribute anything as it was a familiar script for the Overseas. It was Stasch and Marks who put up a bit of a partnership in the middle overs as they managed to score some valuable runs and bring the difference between the two totals down. However, it was a bridge too far in the end for them as they fell well short. 

The Crusaders used just five bowlers and all of them were really tidy as none went for more than 8 runs per over. They choked the flow of runs throughout the innings and ensured that the Overseas batters could hardly find any momentum. The bowling was lead by Ishantha Kariyawasam and Mahabub Rahman who both picked up three wickets in total. 

9.6 Akhildev Radhakrishnan to Iwan Stasch, dropped! Full on middle and leg, Stasch went for a hoick towards mid wicket, didn't quite time it, found the fielder in the deep, who put it down. Just a single in the end. Southern Crusaders complete the double over the Overseas today, the margin being 69 runs!

9.5 Akhildev Radhakrishnan to David Marks, slow delivery on a fullish length around leg, Marks, off-balance, swiped it towards long on for a run

9.3 Akhildev Radhakrishnan to David Marks, length delivery on leg stump, Marks swiped this one towards deep mid wicket. Just a single to the man in the deep, who fielded on the bounce and fired a throw at the bowler's

9.2 Akhildev Radhakrishnan to Iwan Stasch, full on off stump, Stasch, down the wicket, gave it a thump, but didn't quite time it. Just a single to the man at long on

Akhildev Radhakrishan [1.0-0-7-0] comes back into the attack. 

Excellent spell from Nayanakkara comes to an end and there is just one over left in the game now. The Overseas can only  play for pride from here onwards as they look to finish off on a high. 

8.5 Sahan Nanayakkara to David Marks, full, wide outside off, Marks, having moved all across his stumps once again, looked to swipe it towards square, missed, and was struck on the pad. Leg bye

8.3 Sahan Nanayakkara to David Marks, FOUR! Full outside off, Marks moves a long way past off stump, shaped up for the ramp, and flicked the ball past the wide gap at short fine!

Sahan Nayanakkara [1.0-0-4-0] comes back into the attack 

Stasch managed to hit a rare boundary in that over as the Overseas picked up 7 runs from it. They've hardly shown any intent in this innings so far and it has cost them big time.
