ZLS vs ZUCC

Zurich Crickets 114/7 in 10 overs
Noorkhali Ahmadi 48(23) | Kanishk Shah 2/25
Gokuldas Chetty 29*(18) | Snehil Joshi 1/14

The Crickets fought till the very end but the Lions have won an absolute thriller here. They kept things tidy in the first half of the innings and that is what aided their cause in the end. They managed to pick up wickets at regular intervals and towards the end, the Crickets just didn't have any set batter to get the chase going. 

It was Noorkhan Ahmadi who scored the highest and he held the innings together with his brilliant knock of 48. As long as he kept going, they had their chances and looked to be in the game big time. However he didn't get any support from the other end and once he was gone, it became a really uphill task for the Crickets. Towards the end, Chetty played a good knock of 29 but it wasn't enough to help them get over the line as he took too much time to get himself going. 

Kanishk Shah got two big wickets in the powerplay itself and he gave his side the edge early on. However, it was Safi who came in at the back end of the innings and got two huge wickets including that of Ahmadi. Snehil Joshi was economical too as he gave away just 14 runs and picked up a wicket. 

9.6 Ankush Lal to Gokuldas Chetty, at a length and wide outside off. Chetty chips it over cover to deep cover and picks up a brace. However, Zurich Lions win this game!

9.4 Ankush Lal to Nicolas Henderson, RUN OUT BUT HENDERSON REMAINS ON STRIKE! Fullish and wide outside off. Henderson drills it down to long off and calls for two. The first run is taken quickly but Chetty is run out while attempting the second. Oops, the replays suggest that it is actually Henderson who is GONE as the batters did not cross over!

Nicolas Henderson  run out (Nazeeb Safi / Ankush Lal) 15(6b, 0x4, 0x6)

9.3 Ankush Lal to Nicolas Henderson, SIX MORE! Just twelve runs needed now. Short of a length drifting down the legside. All Henderson has to do is help the ball on its way over fine leg for a maximum! 

9.2 Ankush Lal to Nicolas Henderson, SIX! BOOM! Short of a length outside off. Henderson swivels in the crease and pulls it away over deep square leg for a massive hit! 

Chetty struck a six in that  over and managed to keep the Crickets in hunt. They need a mammoth 25 runs from the final over and it will take a hell of an effort to chase this score down. 

8.5 Mayur Daftari to Gokuldas Chetty, SIX! BOOM! Tossed up outside off, turns back in. Chetty gets under it and slogs it over long on for a massive hit!

A couple of sixes came in that over but Safi came back really well to take back to back wickets. The game is slipping away from the hands of the crickets here.
