Austrian Cricket Tigers won by 25 runs Imran Asif 71(31) | Mark Simpson-Parker 30(11) Imran Asif 1-19(2) | Daniel Eckstein 1-27(2)
The damage was done in the first innings by Iqbal and Asif, and there's only one winner after the Tigers posted a mammoth total on the board. The chase demanded a fast and furious start from the Vienna CC openers but Iqbal bowled two sensational over up front and conceded just two runs. Safi struggled to get bat on ball against Iqbal and that was a big setback while trying to chase a big score
Simpson Parker played some stunning shots after the dismissal of Eckstein and it was entertaining until it lasted. The struggling Safi retired himself and Akbarjan's monstrous sixes and Arif's last over onslaught off Ahsan only helped Vienna CC to reduce the deficit of the defeat.
Alright! Two done and three more to go. Catch the live updates of the third match between SNASY and Donaustadt shortly. Now, it's time to end the coverage, until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Pradeep signing off
