Commentary

That's it from here and hope you enjoyed the coverage. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Bidipto signing off
Swieqi United won by 7 runs

Another close match and the Crusaders came up short. Goonetilleke played a fine knock but can't help his team cross the finish line. It was a flying start as Sha was smashed for 19 runs in his first over but Ajmal ran through the top-order and his spell proved to be the major difference. He picked up Bastiansz's wicket instantlly after the powerplay ended and there were hopes for the Crusaders when Goonetilleke managed to take on the bowlers after the halfway point but since Avishka struggled to get going, the Crusaders can't stay in touch with the asking rate

Two highly entertaining games between these two teams and the United came out on top but we aren't done with these. Two more matches coming your way, so switch tabs to find out the LIVE coverage Gzira United and Overseas that's going to begin shortly

Qasim-Muhammad0/24
9.6 Muhammad Qasim to Mithila Avishka, SIX RUNS! BUT TOO LITTLE TOO LATE! SWIEQI UNITED GET THE WIN! Length ball outside off-stump. Hammered off the front foot flat but just over long-on this time for a maximum to finish the match. 
9.5 Muhammad Qasim to Michael Goonetilleke, good length ball around off-stump. Slammed down to long-on from deep in the crease for a single. 
9.4 Muhammad Qasim to Michael Goonetilleke, FOUR RUNS! Good length ball around off-stump. A top edged sweep this time that goes over the right of the keeper for a boundary! 
9.3 Muhammad Qasim to Michael Goonetilleke, Oh! Good length ball on middle-stump. Hoicked around off-stump back foot for a couple of runs after a fine stop with the foot at the deep position. 
9.2 Muhammad Qasim to Mithila Avishka, good length ball on off-and-middle. Driven down the ground firmly but for a single to long-off. 
9.1 Muhammad Qasim to Michael Goonetilleke, full toss on middle-and-leg. Heaved to long-leg from the back foot for a single only! 
Bepari can't deliver his goods but still getting 23 runs in the final over won't be easy. Qasim is assaigned to do the job now

8.3 Peyas Bepari to Michael Goonetilleke, good length ball outside off-stump. Cut away to the finer backward point fielder who misfields and gives away a single. 
8.2 Peyas Bepari to Michael Goonetilleke, OH! Good length ball sliding down the leg-side. A miss of the hoick across the line, no leg-bye here. 
8.1 Peyas Bepari to Michael Goonetilleke, SIX RUNS! Short on off-and-middle. Hooked away over deep backward square-leg off the back foot for a maximum! 
Just the over Crusaders needed at this stage. Umar's pace was threatening but Goonetilleke used it to his advantage. The length from Umar led to his downfall as he nailed just a solitary yorker and the rest of it were the hit-me deliveries
