VVV vs KAM

Well, SV Kampong did manage to get close but it was too much for them to do in the end. A good fight from them, with skipper Usman Malik leading the charge with a well made 66. However, he did not get enough support from anyone else, that probably cost them the game eventually. 

VVV did well to keep the batsmen under pressure at all times, as they picked up wickets as well and did not allow them to get ahead of the required rate, that kept on building pressure. Aziz Mohammad picking up two wickets, being the pick of the bowlers. Kampong failed to get partnerships as well but there is a lot for them to take away from this chase. 

With that, VVV remain unbeaten in the tournament, continuing their dominant run as they continue to remain favourites to win this edition. They have performed well with the bat, with the ball and are coming along nicely together as a unit. 24 extras given away that will be a little concerning but they had enough runs on the board anyway. 

A total in excess of 100 has still not been chased down in this tournament and the trend continues, with Kampong only coming close. That is all we have from this game then. Stay tuned for more ECS action, and cricket from all around the globe coming your way. This is Rishab and Pradeep as we take your leave for the time-being. Have a great evening! 

An eventful finish to the game as VVV remain unbeaten in the group stages. Usman Malik being the lone warrior in the chase but it was not going to be enough from him alone. Spirited effort effort from Kampong though, making this an interesting chase. A 21-run win for VVV! 

9.6 Areeb Shoaib to Kertan Nana, slight change in the pace, full delivery into Nana on the middle and leg as he walks down the track and lofts it to the cover region for a single and VVV remain undefeated in the tournament here!

9.5 Areeb Shoaib to Usman Malik, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Malik departs but take a bow, what an innings from him this. Short delivery tailed into Malik on the middle and leg as he looks to swipe that one across the line and misses, leg-stump uprooted in the end!

9.4 Areeb Shoaib to Usman Malik, FOUR! Slower one, dips into Malik on the full on the outside off as he waits for it and then spanks it through the extra-cover region for another boundary.

9.3 Areeb Shoaib to Usman Malik, SIX MORE! Too little too late for the Kampong this, full on the outside off as Malik sits deep inside the crease and then SMOKES it staright down the ground for a maximum!

9.2 Areeb Shoaib to Usman Malik, FOUR! Takes the pace of the ball, bangs it short into Malik on the off-stump as he waits for it and then smacks it just past the deep mid-wicket fielder for a boundary.

9.1 Areeb Shoaib to Usman Malik, excellent change of pace, back of a length on the seventh stump line as Malik sets himself for a big one but lets it go and that was in the end was a DOT BALL!

This should have been the big over for Kampong if they were to get close to this target. Sefat has bowled out a magnificent over here, hardly giving anything away and this game looks almost done now. VVV on their way to remain unbeaten, unless we see some miracle, which doesn't look likely at the moment. Brilliant from Sefat. 38 off 6 needed!

8.6 Shagharai Sefat to Tushar Sharma, full delivery on the off-stump as Tushar drills that one to the mid-wicket region for a dot to finish the over.

8.5 Shagharai Sefat to Usman Malik, full delivery into Malik on the middle and off as he looks to turn that one into the on-side but gets a leading edge to the third-man region for a single.

8.4 Shagharai Sefat to Usman Malik, too full again into Malik on the middle and off as he plants his front foot across to heave it but mistimes it to the deep square leg, he doesn't take the run!

8.3 Shagharai Sefat to Usman Malik, length delivery on the off-stump and Malik swinging everything that has come to him as he mistimes it to the mid-wicket fielder for no run.

8.2 Shagharai Sefat to Usman Malik, short delivery into Malik on the off-stump as he swivels to pull that one away but misses, hits him on the mid-riff, DOT BALL! 

8.1 Shagharai Sefat to Usman Malik, too full on the outside off as Malik looks to hoick that one away but only manages to drill it back to the bowler as Sefat on his follow through stops it with a dive.
