Commentary

Thanks for tuning into ECS France today on the Sportskeeda network. I hope you enjoyed our coverage. For the time being, however, this is me Vatsal on behalf of Darpan signing off. Goodnight and take care!
CSPT Sarcelles win by 20 runs.

Zaheer Hussain - 32 (10) | Umair Asgher - 2/16
Priyalaxan Uthayakumar - 26 (10) | Sajeethiran Mariyathas - 2/17

In the end, there was only one team in this contest. It might have felt like Sarcelles' 129 was a below par total but they have managed to secure a 20-run victory, thanks to their outstanding bowling efforts. 

Three Sarcelles bowlers picked up two wickets each. These includes Umair Asgher, Johnmary Alestin and Joseph Tharoon. Royal 94 were given a little hope when Priyalaxan Uthayakumar was striking big in the latter stages of the innings but it was too little too late for them. 

R94, however, did secure a bonus point but the eventual victory was all Sarcelles'.

9.6 Zaheer Hussain to Joseph Tharoon, hard length, outside off. Tharoon misses it altogether. CSPT Sarcelles win by 20 runs.
9.5 Zaheer Hussain to Sajeethiran Mariyathas, slower one this time. He hits through the line but can't get enough. Collected on a bounce by the man at long on. 
9.4 Zaheer Hussain to Sajeethiran Mariyathas, PICKS THIS ONE UP!!! In the slot and he has swung his bat like a golf club. The ball lands 10 metres beyond the long on fence. 
9.3 Zaheer Hussain to Joseph Tharoon, inside out drive to get the ball to wide long off for one. 
Barring any extras, CSPT Sarcelles have secured the victory. 
9.2 Zaheer Hussain to Sajeethiran Mariyathas, swings hard but only gets an inside edge. Ball trickles to fine leg and they run one. 
9.2 Zaheer Hussain to Sajeethiran Mariyathas, wide outside off. 
9.1 Zaheer Hussain to Joseph Tharoon, bowls wide with an intention to take it out of the batter's reach. Tharoon stretches his arms and gets it away to cover point where a fielder dives and ensures that there is no more than one for the taking. 
32 needed off the final over! It would take a monumental effort from R94 to pull this off but funnier things happen in the ECS Universe!

Zaheer Hussain will bowl the final 6 balls.

8.6 Umair Asgher to Sajeethiran Mariyathas, play and a miss. Dot ball. 
8.5 Umair Asgher to Sajeethiran Mariyathas, DROPPED!! Was a miscued shot. Man stationed at covers inside the circle took an about turn and ran as hard as he could. He stretched out his arms and got fingertips to it. But couldn't complete the catch. 
8.4 Umair Asgher to Joseph Tharoon, gets this away to long off this time. Single taken. 
8.3 Umair Asgher to Joseph Tharoon, played back to the bowler. 
Joseph Tharoon, RHB, comes out to bat. 
8.2 Umair Asgher to Priyalaxan Uthayakumar, TAKEN ON THE EDGE OF THE BOUNDARY!! It was muscled with a flat bat. Fielder at long off stretched both his arms to the full extent and caught it. Had he been 6 inches shorter, he would have missed it and Royal 94 would have gotten six.

Priyalaxan Uthayakumar c Shahab Bashir b Umair Asgher 26 (10b, 1x4, 3x6). 
8.1 Umair Asgher to Priyalaxan Uthayakumar, SHOT OF THE MATCH!! Angled on to the pads. Uthayakumar was helped by the fact that he moved a step towards the off stump. He picks it up cleanly and deposits it over backward square leg.
