Well, Ariana CC getting to the target much easily than we thought in the end. They did not have an ideal start and it looked like this was going to be tough for them. However, they came back in style after those first two overs and it was all Ariana CC from then on. Asif Meer leading the chase with a fantastic 57 off a mere 20 deliveries, giving them the lift in the chase and setting it up quite nicely.
Qader Khan (21*) and Sultan (31*), with some brilliant contributions in the end as they got past the line comfortably in the end. They went all berserk after those first two overs and there was simply no stopping them once they got into that zone of merciless hitting.
Malmo would have thought they had enough on the board, but it wasn't to be their day as they failed to defend the total or even make this game interesting. Their bowlers were taken to the cleaners and did not have any answers to the carnage from the Ariana CC batsman.
No better way for Ariana CC to end their campaign though and this will be a very pleasing victory for them, they way they came out and went about the chase. That's all we've got from the Bronze Final then, as it is Ariana CC who will take that trophy and medals home in the end.
We're just not done yet though, as we have the big final coming your way, where Goteborg and Ariana Akif will battle it out for the ultimate glory in this edition of the ECS. Do stay around for that as this is Rishab and Karthik taking your leave for the moment. Have a great evening folks!
That's that then! Done and dusted and Ariana CC have made light-work of this chase, pretty comfortable in the end and they've turned this chase one-sided. Terrific effort and they will take home the Bronze finish then, a good way to sign off their campaign!
7.2 Hammad Rafiq to Nusratullah Sultan, SULTAN FINISHES OFF IN STYLE! Full-toss down the leg-side, Sultan helps it behind square for a boundary. Ariana CC finish third by beating Malmo with a margin of eight wickets!
7.1 Hammad Rafiq to Nusratullah Sultan, full on the stumps, Sultan plays it to square-leg. No run
Looks all to easy for Ariana CC from here now, cannot afford to give away extras at this point and it is simply not happening for Malmo. Brilliant striking from Sultan this and Ariana CC are doing this in style now. Huge over and Saad Mohammad has failed to get it right. 25 coming off it in the end and Ariana are just a hit away now!

Runs continue to comeby for Ariana CC at the moment. Much-better over from Chinwari this though, finishing it on a tidy note and Malmo will need to keep it tight if they are to create any kind of pressure on the batsmen from here. Once again, the bowler unable to finish the over well though, as Ariana continue to move along!
