SIK vs MCC

Thanks a lot for tuning in today. This is Mohul Bhowmick signing off on behalf of my co-commentator and good friend Lavil Saldanha. We hope you enjoyed it. Marsta CC, after having won this game, go again in a short while when they take on Stockholm Tigers. Do hop tabs to follow that game. Until next time, farewell!

Marsta CC beat SIKIF by 8 wickets! 

Share Ali 39* (12) and 2/15
Zahin Rashid 27 (25) | Hamid Sulehri 2/11

As was expected, Marsta CC made short work of this target set to them by SIKIF. Setting up a total less than 100 was asking for trouble, and the bowlers of SIKIF had nothing to dish out once the rampage began from the batting side. 

Waqas Haider and Share Ali opened the innings for Marsta and were all over the bowlers of SIKIF. Although Haider departed at the end of the second over, Ali along with number three Arif Hossain ensured that there were no hiccups along the way for Marsta. 

Even Hossain had to leave the crease after a while, and the rest of the chasing was left to Ali and number four Fahad Waqas. This win will give Marsta a lot of confidence, which they will take further into the competition. 

SIKIF will be displeased with the fact that they could not put up a fight against Marsta; the fact that they were outplayed so easily will trouble them for a long time to come. Marsta march further into this competition and are about to take on Stockholm Tigers in some time from now.

4.4 Bilal Ahmed to Share Ali, SIX! GAME SET AND MATCH TO MARSTA CC! Wide delivery outside the off stump, was on a length and Share Ali opens the face of the bat and sends it sailing over deep backward point boundary for a maximum to call it a game. Marsta CC win the match by 8 wicket with 32 balls to spare  

4.3 Bilal Ahmed to Share Ali, ANOTHER SIX! Full length delivery outside the off stump, Ali hits that one down the ground and it goes over the fielder stationed at long on for a maximum

4.2 Bilal Ahmed to Share Ali, SIX! Full length delivery on the line outside the off stump, Share Ali comes charging down the track and sends it sailing over deep extra cover for a huge maximum

4.2 Bilal Ahmed to Share Ali, NO BALL AND SIX! Waist high full toss wide outside the off stump, Share Ali throws his bat at that one and the ball goes sailing over the boundary ropes for a maximum

Bilal Ahmad, right arm medium, comes into the attack.

Just a matter of time before Marsta get over the line. They need 25 runs off the last six overs. With the rate they are scoring at the moment, it should not be too difficult. 

3.6 Malik Zafar to Fahad Waqas, SIX! Full length delivery outside the off stump, Waqas stands tall and thumps it a long way over the long off boundary for a maximum to end the over

3.3 Malik Zafar to Arif Hossain, CAUGHT! Full-length delivery on the line of the middle and the off stump, Hossain looked to hit that one long but only managed to get height on that one. The fielder comes running in and takes a good catch

Arif Hossain c Zahin Rashid b Malik Zafar 10 (4b 1x4 1x6)

3.2 Malik Zafar to Arif Hossain, FOUR! Full length delivery on the line of the middle stump. Hossain hits that one powerfully and it goes to the ropes for a four 

Malik Zafar, left arm orthodox, is the new bowler.

Marsta have scored more than half the runs required in three overs itself. Ali and Hossain need to ensure that there are no hiccups along the way for them.

2.6 Amit Panghal to Arif Hossain, SIX! Full length delivery on the line of the middle and the leg stump, Hossain flicks that one away over the square leg boundary for a maximum
