USGC vs BCA

A great win for USGC this considering the fact that they have successfully defended a total that did not seem to be enough at the half-way mark. They picked up wickets right from the start and kept things tight all the way through. Some magnificent bowling from all of their bowlers and a combined effort to take them over the line with the ball here. 

Berlin CA could never get themselves going in the chase as they lost wickets and also failed to get their innings moving when they needed to. They failed to build partnerships and succumbed to pressure in the run-chase. Their batters will need to step up in the final game if they are to avenge this loss. 

USGC needed this win to keep their hopes alive of finishing in the top two and a performance like this will only boost their confidence. They will be keen to carry this show and complete a double as the two sides meet again in not a lot of time from now. 

This has been Bidipto and myself (Rishab) as we bid adieu at the moment then. Stay tuned for more action coming your way!

Well, USGC have defended their total of 84 and this has been a clinical performance from them with the ball. A brilliant win this and they keep their hopes alive with this as well. Much-needed for them and they will be pleased with this effort!

9.6 Gopinath Manoharan to Sandan Chintanippu, USG CHEMNITZ WIN AND KEEP THEIR HOPES FOR A TOP-TWO FINISH, ALIVE! Good length slower ball down leg, it gets swept on one knee, it takes the top edge again to the left of the keeper, but only for a lob, for a single to finish the innings! 

9.5 Gopinath Manoharan to Sandan Chintanippu, full and straight on off, drilled back to the bowler, but for no run! Dot ball here! Gold dust! 

9.4 Gopinath Manoharan to Sandan Chintanippu, FOUR RUNS! Full toss down leg, the batter steps out and plays it round past the left of short fine-leg for a boundary! 

9.3 Gopinath Manoharan to Sandan Chintanippu, good length ball outside off, dragged around to deep square-leg, they try to come back for two, the throw comes in to the keeper, he then misses the collection, and the second run is complete! 

9.1 Gopinath Manoharan to Sandan Chintanippu, good length ball outside off, hit high up in the air straight, it lands safely, but only a run can be taken off the slice of the bat! 

Down to the final over then and this game seems to be headed towards a tight finish alright. Abdul Andar was magnificent in his first over but he's given away runs here. Sloppy work from USGC and they cannot be complacent here. Good finish to the over though. 19 off 6 needed!

8.6 Abdul Andar to Sandan Chintanippu, GOOD FIELDING! Full on off, struck hard to long-off where the fielder does really well to keep it to a single only and not concede a boundary! But Chintanippu keeps the strike!

8.5 Abdul Andar to Siva Rajendran, WHAT DRAMA! Short on leg, tapped back to the bowler, the non-striker sets off for the run, the striker is all set to be run out, but the bowler throws wildly for no reason, and then, it misses the stumps and the run gets taken! 

8.4 Abdul Andar to Sandan Chintanippu, FOUR MORE AND A NO BALL FOR THE FRONT FOOT! Full on off, batter goes across and laps it past the keeper and short fine-leg for a boundary! 

8.3 Abdul Andar to Sandan Chintanippu, WIDTH GIVEN AND PUT AWAY! Fuller outside off and carved away through the covers for a rocket-like boundary off the front foot!
