Match summary: American University of Malta won the toss and opted to bowl
Bugibba Blasters 72/6 (10 Overs) Ravi Pal 21*(7) | Abhishek Kuntala 2/11 (2)
American University of Malta 75/7 (9.1 Overs) Darshit Patankar 49(21) | Devendra Negi 4/6 (2)
American University of Malta win by 3 wickets with 5 balls to spare
The game too close for AUM's comfort towards the end! At one stage, it seemed like Darshit Patankar won them the match with his early onslaught, but once he was dismissed, the complexion of the match suddenly started to change! Patankar was the only one who made any significant contribution to the run-chase, barring maybe Jitesh Patel's winning shot (which was a dropped catch). He was losing partners right from the start but never seemed to be deterred, kept playing those big shots and got his team near the target! Devendra Negi then came back with a hat-trick, eventually a four-for, and the nerves were starting to show. The match went into the last over, Jitesh lofted one in the air but Kalyan put the chance down, and the AUM cricket team finally breathed a sigh of relief!
9.1 Sohan Singh to Jitesh Patel, FOUR, DROPPED AND THAT'S THE GAME! Pavan Kalyan got under it, and lets it through to the boundary! Jitesh Patel has a swing at this full length delivery, gets the height on it but nearly not enough distance, Kalyan got under it running in from long-off and messed up the chance! The American University of Malta manage to take the game by 3 wickets off the last over!
Who would have thought that this match would go to the last over!
