Commentary

That's all from us then! This is Soumarya Dutta, signing off on behalf of my partner Pragadeesh. See you soon!

Napa Royal Kings 74/9 in 10 overs
Sehran Ahmed 23(11) | Chetan Sharma 2/10
Karanvir Singh 13(13) | Mangala Gunasekara 2/13

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FINISH WE'VE HAD HERE! The Black Caps have pulled out a victory from the jaws of defeat in the final. Sehran Ahmed got the Napa Royals off to a great start and they were 30/1 after the powerplay. However they had a collapse from that position and the fragile batting line up was exposed to the pressure of the finals, something that they were not able to handle. Towards the end, the tail succumbed to the brilliant death bowling and they fell short by just two runs! Karanvir Singh was the only other guy who got in to the double figures and it's the lack of contributions that hurt them.

The Black Caps bowlers were unbelievable as they pulled this game from the jaws of defeat. They were dead and buried after the powerplay but they never gave up. Chetan Sharma picked up Ali Khan and that triggered a collapse. Gunasekara was brilliant too as he picked up two wickets in one over including Sehran Ahmed and that is where they sealed the game for his side. Towards the end, Gurpreet Singh was phenomenal as he held on to his nerve under pressure! He picked up two wickets in the final over and defended 11 runs,

Overall, this has been a brilliant game of cricket and the Black Caps are the deserving champions here! They had a very small total on the board but they bowled out of their skins to defend it and the pressure of the finals also got to them! The Napa Royal Kings will be really disappointed a as they fell agonizingly short by just 2 runs in the end.

9.6 Gurpreet Singh to Manzoor Ali, FOUR! THE BLACK CAPS ARE CROWNED CHAMPIONS OF ECS CYPRUS. Bangs it into the track, Manzoor swings but gets an outside edge and the ball flies over short third man before going over the ropes on the bounce

9.5 Gurpreet Singh to Manzoor Ali, good length angling outside off-stump, Manzoor swings across but the ball is in the keeper's had. He didn't make any contact

Manzoor Ali, RHB, comes to the crease.

This is absolute self destruction from the Kings! They've just wasted a wicket here and they're in danger of being all out! 7 runs needed of the final two balls with just 1 wicket in hand now.

9.4 Gurpreet Singh to Rauf Zaman, back of a length outside off-stump, Zaman swings and misses. Manzoor wants a single and the keeper throws it to the bowler and he knocks the stumps before Zaman drags his bat over the crease

Rauf Zaman run out (Pawandeep/ Gurpreet Singh) 4(2b, 1x4,0x6)

9.3 Gurpreet Singh to Rauf Zaman, FOUR! Charges down the track and cuts the length delivery to the vacant deep point fence for a boundary

Rauf Zaman, RHB, comes to the crease.

Are you kidding me! Two in two for the fifth bowler and he is on a hattrick! Napa Royal Kings are 8 down now and they might get all out before the end of the over. What an unbelievable game we've had so far.

9.2 Gurpreet Singh to Jasdeep Singh, OUT! Pitched up on a good length, Jasdeep swings downtown and the ball goes straight to the fielder stationed at long-off

Jasdeep Singh c Kulwinder Singh b Gurpreet Singh 0(1b, 0x4, 0x6)

Jasdeep Singh, RHB, comes to the crease.

Gurpreet has done it! He went full and straight and the batter went for an ugly slog! He missed and the bowler hit! The Black Caps are closing in on a win here.

9.1 Gurpreet Singh to Karanvir Singh, BOWLED! Good length delivery and much straighter, Karanvir swings across without any feet movement and the ball pins the middle and leg stump

Karanvir Singh b Gurpreet Singh 13(13b, 1x4,0x6)

Gurpreet Singh [1.0-0-3-0] comes back into the attack.

Tejwinder started off the over really well and bowled in the block hole! He followed the batters and didn't let them hit the big shots! However the batters ran well and managed to get 9 runs of the over! We're heading into the last over with 11 runs to win for Napa Kings and this has been an absolute cliffhanger.
