USGC vs RCD

Right then, the home team Dresden are over the line comfortably in the end here. They did not have the biggest of starts but what they did well was to build a partnership, not give wickets away and later on changed gears to get over the line with nine wickets to spare. A comprehensive performance from them with both the bat and the ball as they go through to finals day now. 

USGC did well to take the game to the eighth over and they kept things reasonably tidy. However, they did not pick up wickets, which they needed to do, which was the only way they could have gone on to win this game. Not enough runs on the board and a disappointing finish for them as their campaign comes to an end with that. 

We have two teams who have made it to finals day then and there will be two more teams joining them with two games to go now. To find out who makes it through, do stay tuned as we bring you all the action and much more! 

This has been Pragadeesh and myself (Rishab) as we take your leave then. Have a great day ahead!

A good over for Dresden this and they have done well to keep rotating the strike as well as find the big hits. This should pretty much be the game for them so to say now, in fact, they finish it off with two overs to spare then and a comprehensive win for them, getting over the line by nine wickets in the end!

A much-needed over for Dresden this. These boundaries will ease some pressure off them. USGC cannot give away easy runs here as one bad over will take the game away from them. Dresden in control of the chase now. 20 more off 18 needed!

6.4 Rajesh Nagaraja to Ijaz Ahmad, FOUR! Pitched up delivery into the pads, Ahmad shovels this behind square on the leg-side and placed it to perfection
