Plzen Guardians 71/4 (10) lost to Prague CC 127/2 (10) by 56 runs

Datta Shetti 22(13) | Nirmal Kumar 16(20)
Naveen Padmaraju 2-15(2) | Dipan Patel 1-9(2)

Domination! Absolute domination from Prague CC as they completely obliterate a weak Plzen Guardians side to finish the Group A matches in this edition of the ECS. With the Guardians already knocked out, a win by a huge margins would have placed Prague CC at the top of the points table and they have done exactly that. They will sit at the numero uno position as they await the Group B matches to take place. 

Chasing this total was always going to be a mammoth task for the Guardians and as expected, they failed miserably trying. Datta Shetti got them off to a great start but lacked support and perished in a bid to increase the scoring rate. Nirmal Kumar played a painstakingly slow knock and the middle order crumbled, with no batter except Nirmal Kumar and the openers able to garner runs in the double-digits. 

A well-disciplined display of bowling from the Prague CC and they win this contest deservedly. It has been a season to forget for the Guardians and they will look to go back to the drawing board and come back stringer next season. As for the Prague CC, they will be in the playoffs and are certainly one of the favourites to lift the trophy this season. 

9.6 Rohit Deshmoyni to Kapil Kumar, SWING AND A MISS! Gives the charge to hoick this short of a length delivery way across the line but he can only connect with thin air can Kapil. That will be all for this contest - Prague CC beat Plzen Guardians by 56 runs! Quite a handsome margin of victory alright!

9.5 Rohit Deshmoyni to Kapil Kumar, FOUR! BEATS THE KEEPER! Back of a length delivery that decks away outside off. Width on offer and Kapil opens the face to dab it late past the keeper's dive for a boundary. 

9.4 Rohit Deshmoyni to Keyur Patel, slower delivery on a length in the corridor outside off, Keyur camps back for a punch to sweeper cover as he settles for one.

9.3 Rohit Deshmoyni to Kapil Kumar, width on offer on this back of a length delivery, Kapil reaches out and opens the face to dab it down to third man for another single.

9.2 Rohit Deshmoyni to Keyur Patel, full at the stumps this time, Keyur sits on one knee and drags it along the carpet for a single to deep mid-wicket.

9.1 Rohit Deshmoyni to Keyur Patel, WELL BOWLED! Dips into the blockhole just outside off before slanting away off the deck. Keyur stays low and has a slog across the line in vain.

Rohit Deshmoyni [1-0-12-1] is back to bowl the final over

A tidy over from the part-timer and with just over to go in this contest, it has been a torrid batting display form the Guardians. Just an over to go before Prague CC seal a massive win, a well-deserved one too. 

8.6 Sudita Udugalage to Keyur Patel, backs away and flat-bats this back of a length delivery towards deep cover does Keyur as he retains strike with a lone run.

8.5 Sudita Udugalage to Kapil Kumar, pulls his length back just a touch this time, in the channel and Kapil cuts square of the wicket upon making a bit of room. Single again!

8.4 Sudita Udugalage to Keyur Patel, length delivery on the fuller side outside off, Keyur gets forward with an open face to ease a push towards sweeper cover for one.

8.3 Sudita Udugalage to Kapil Kumar, on a length this time on off stump, Kapil backs away and clogs it without any timing, although the ball drops well into the outfield before deep mid-wicket cuts across. Single taken!

8.2 Sudita Udugalage to Kapil Kumar, good length delivery angling into the fourth-stump line, Kapil makes room and goes feeling for it off his wrists but the ball just sneaks past his blade and the off stump.

8.1 Sudita Udugalage to Kapil Kumar, FOUR! SLASHED HARD! Banged into the track well outside off, Kapil is nearly swept off his feet as he throws all his power into his cut. The ball flies over the vacant slip cordon for a boundary.

Sudita Udugalage, right arm medium fast, is into the attack to bowl the penultimate 

Brilliant bowling from Padmaraju after being taken to the cleaners in his first over. Picks up a couple of wickets as well while conceding just three runs. Plzen Guardians are struggling and all they can do is play the last two overs aggressively and reduce the margin of defeat as the required run-rate has soared to over 36 RPO. 

7.6 Naveen Padmaraju to Sadoon Farrukh, OUT! ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST! Length delivery outside off, Sadoon gives the charge and smears it square of the wicket on the off-side. He goes flat but straight to the fielder stationed by the ropes who makes no mistake and that's another nail hammered into the Guardians' coffin!
