A comprehensive win for Austria, Ritik Tomar scored a brilliant fifty but in vain. They were off to a great start in the powerplay, but Zadrans over changed the game. Sabawoon also played well but in the end Czech Republic could not get their first win.
It was looking like Austria will throw this match away as the opening ballers had a poor start, but Jaweed Zadran came in and took a hat trick, which proved to be match winning. Baseer Khan made sure in the end that they restricted Czech Republic as he gave away only 9 runs and took a wicket as well.
