Moufflons beat Black Caps by 6 wickets Sushil Kumar 51(15) |Kulwinder Singh 61(24) Shoaib Ahmad 1-13(2) | Gurpreet Singh 1-4(1)
We saw two belligerent knocks in the middle but the one Sushil played topped it and helped his team to cross the finish line with ease. It was a fast and furious start from the Moufflons as Hussain fired on all cylinders and smashed 24 runs off just 9 deliveries. After his wicket, we saw a strange run-out and Waqar Ali's innings was short-lived too as the momentum shifted in favour of Black Caps.
When the Moufflons needed someone to play a blinder of an innings, Sushil rose to the occasion and kept bludgeoning the bowlers all around the park. His innings caught everyone by surprise and it will take some time to return to the senses. He single-handedly took the team over the line with a stunning knock of 51 from just 15 deliveries.
It turned out to be a do-or-die match for Black Caps and they produced their goods with the bat to post a big total but the bowlers fell prey to Sushil's onslaught and ended up on the wrong side of the result. Two matches done and we have three more to go. Follow the LIVE coverage of the third match between Nicosia Fighters and Limassol Zalmi shortly. Now, it's time to end the coverage here, until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Maanas signing off

8.6 Kulwinder Singh to Sushil Kumar, SIX! BANG! Length ball sliding down the leg side, was a wide delivery but Kumar decides to chase it. Holds his ground and helps it on its way over the long leg region for a huge maximum! Scores level!
8.5 Kulwinder Singh to Sushil Kumar, a searing yorker on the middle stump, Sushil just about manages to dig that one out and defends it.
8.4 Kulwinder Singh to Sushil Kumar, FOUR MORE! Lovely shot that! Back of a length ball outside off, Sushil camps on the back-foot, frees his arms and carves that through the backward point region for a boundary!
8.3 Kulwinder Singh to Sushil Kumar, FOUR! Back of a length ball on the middle stump, Kumar attempts a wild heave across the line but ends up getting a top edge that flies over the keeper's head and races away to the fence!
8.3 Kulwinder Singh to Sushil Kumar, WIDE! Short and outside off, bounces over the batter's head and it is adjudged as a wide. Well that shouldn't have been called a wide. Tough call!
8.2 Kulwinder Singh to Taranjit Singh, length ball outside off, Taranjit slaps that towards the man at deep extra cover for a single.
8.1 Kulwinder Singh to Taranjit Singh, back of a length ball on the body, Taranjit swings hard at that but fails to make any connection. No run!
Tejwinder breaks this partnership but only after all the damage is done. Sushil's wicket would break this game wide open and no better man to bowl at this situation than Kulwinder Singh as he has the ball in hand
