PKZ vs OTC

Pakhtoon Zalmi 48 all out in 5.3 overs
Abdullah Hamdard 12(8) | Malyar Stanikzai 4/17
Arif Sangar 10(8) | Ali Usman 2/16

INCREDIBLE bowling performance from the Olten CC and they've given the Zalmi some hammering in this contest . They piled up a massive 161 batting first and then bundled out their opponents for a meagre 48 to register the highest win in the ECS Switzerland series. 

The Zalmi could only survive 33 balls as they kept loosing wicket after wicket. Abdullah and Arif were the only ones to get to double figures as the rest of the batting line up made a meek surrender. They could not handle the pace and swing of the Olten bowlers.

Malyar Stanikzai picked up the maiden hattrick of the tournament and in the process he ran through the top and middle order. The rest of the bowlers all picked up 2 wickets each and made sure that the Zalmi couldn't even get to 50. Ali Usman was great as usual as he picked up a couple. As did Stanikzai and Sivakaran. 

5.3 Shaktheeswar Sivakaran to Zulfiqar Ali, THAT'S THAT! Tossed up full outside-off, Zulfiqar looks to go big but he miscues it to long-on where Malyar takes an easy catch. So, Olten seal a fantastic 113-run victory over Pakhtoon Zalmi!

Zulfiqar Ali c Malyar Stanikzai b Sivakaran Stanikzai 0(1b, 0x4, 0x6)

5.1 Shaktheeswar Sivakaran to Subhanuallah Shirzad, WICKET! Tossed up full outside-off, Shirzad heaves it to deep mid-wicket where the fielder runs to his left and takes a comfortable catch!

The Zalmi are going down and they're going down far too quickly at the moment. They're 8 down already and it's just been five overs in the run chase. The end is looking near for them. 

4.6 Jamal Stanikzai to Asad Saeed, WICKET! Sliding in off a length, Asad tries to cut but he gets an inside-edge onto the stumps. Zalmi on the brink of suffering a huge loss!

Asad Saeed b Jamal Stanikzai 0(1b, 0x4, 0x6)

4.5 Jamal Stanikzai to Hedayatullah Shinwari, WICKET! Touch short and turning away, Shinwari looks to swing it over mid-wicket but he misses. The keeper collects the ball and quickly whips off the bails. The umpires have gone upstairs here. After watching the replays for quite a bit, the TV has made the decision to send back Shinwari!

4.2 Jamal Stanikzai to Hedayatullah Shinwari, full and sliding in, Shinwari runs down the pitch and tries to slog but he misses. The keeper also fails to collect as the batters take a bye!

Jamal Stanikzai, right arm leg break, comes into the attack. 

Stanikzai has ended his spell with superb figures of 4/17 and he has singe handedly run through the Zalmi batting order. This has been an huge effort from the Olten already. 

3.6 Malyar Stanikzai to Abdullah Hamdard, SUPERB CATCH IN THE DEEP! Short on the stumps, Hamdard tries to pull but he top-edges it to third where the fielder dives forward to take an excellent catch!
