This is me, Mohul Bhowmick signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Bidipto Datta. We hope you enjoyed the coverage of this rather lopsided encounter from ECS Rome. Until next time, ciao!
As was expected, Asian Latina managed to squeeze Roma Gladiatori and restrict them to a low total. The bowlers of Asian Latina, led by the likes of Amandeep Singh, Onkar Singh and Muneem Muhammad, ensured that they did not give too many looseners away and kept the run scoring to a minimum.
Muneeb Niazi tried his best to whip away some quick runs for Roma Gladiatori towards the end, but it was not nearly enough. This loss will serve as a wake-up call to Roma Gladiatori as they go further into the tournament.
Asian Latina, on the other hand, will be extremely pleased with this result. All three departments of theirs: batting, bowling and fielding came together today which resulted in an exquisite symphony. This was an excellent performance from Asian Latina.
