BSC Rehberge 1945 obliterate FC Viktoria 89 by 8 wickets!
What a game we have been treated to! An amazing turnaround by BSC Rehberge 1945 and they are elated! Rightly so, they deserve this victory. Got off to the worst possible starts as they lost the ever-dangerous Shahnawaz Ahmad and Luqman Jafer off the first two deliveries. Viktoria were well and truly ahead in the contest and the scorecard read 1/2 at the end of the first over.
However, what followed was utter destruction from the willows of Nadjibullah Yasser and Sajid Liaqat. While the former made most of the reprieve given to him in the first over and scored an quick-fire 17-ball 43*, Liaqat was the destructor-in-chief, mercilessly thrashing the bowlers all across the park and racing away to an unbeaten 24-ball 61.
As for the bowlers, nothing went their way after the first over. Latif picked up a couple but was unable to continue in the same manner in the second over as he was taken for 19 runs. The others, too, did not return with figures which were anything to write home about. A comprehensive win for BSCR in the end and they retain the top position on the points table with that! On the other hand, Viktoria will go back to the drawing board and get their plans right before the reverse-fixture.

6.6 Harsha Gopireddy to Sajid Liaqat, SIX! FINISHES THINGS IN STYLE! It's all over and these two made this a small work in the end and chases this in a canter. Short delivery on the off-stump and Liaqat swivels to POWER it over the deep backward square leg region for another maximum. Viktoria must been thinking where did they go wrong!
6.5 Harsha Gopireddy to Sajid Liaqat, yorker length on the wide of off-stump and Liaqat hangs back and then looks to carve that one away but misses.
6.4 Harsha Gopireddy to Sajid Liaqat, FOUR MORE! These two are in a hurry to get this over, full delivery on the outside off and Liaqat comes forward to drive but miscues it and flies over the short third-man region for another boundary.
6.3 Harsha Gopireddy to Sajid Liaqat, SIX! BOOM! Full and in the slot again for Liaqat as he presses forward and then SMOKES it over the deep square leg region for another maximum.
6.2 Harsha Gopireddy to Nadjibullah Yasser, slower delivery, full on the off-stump and Yasser gets behind the line to drill it to long-on for another single.
6.1 Harsha Gopireddy to Sajid Liaqat, low full toss on the off-stump and Liaqat goes low to tap it to the extra-cover region for a single.
The poor bowling from VIK continues as they dish out juicy deliveries which are absolutely pummelled to the fence. Another massive over as they collect 16 runs off it and with just 15 runs more needed, BSCR will be looking to finish off the game in the next over itself! Both the batsmen in their forties and will be hoping to get a half-cneitnury under their belt as well.
BSCR need another 15 runs from 4 overs Harsha Gopireddy to continue

5.6 Harsha Busireddy to Nadjibullah Yasser, FOUR MORE! Full toss on the outside off and Yasser whacks that one towards long-on and the fielder lets it through as the dive goes in vain, another boundary
5.6 Harsha Busireddy to Nadjibullah Yasser, WIDE! Short delivery, dug into the track again but goes over the batters head and wide signaled by the Umpire.
5.5 Harsha Busireddy to Sajid Liaqat, short delivery that was angling away on the fifth stump line and Liaqat stood tall to drag it down towards long-on for just a single.
5.4 Harsha Busireddy to Sajid Liaqat, FOUR! Full toss on the wide of off-stump and Liaqat just gets his bat across and then steers it through the backward point region with some PURE TIMING as that races away to the fence for another boundary.
5.3 Harsha Busireddy to Sajid Liaqat, brilliant come back, yorker that angles away on the fourth stump line and Liaqat goes down to get some bat on it but misses.
5.2 Harsha Busireddy to Sajid Liaqat, SIX! BAM! Short delivery on the leg-stump line, well directed but Liaqat swivels to pull, doesn't get hold of it but it had enough take that one over the ropes over fine-leg region for another maximum.
5.1 Harsha Busireddy to Sajid Liaqat, short delivery that tails away on the fourth stump line, banged it into the track and Liaqat looks to pull that on away but misses.
Harsha Gopiredddy is tossed the ball in hopes of breaking the partnership but the bowler is unable to deliver as he ends up conceding 13 runs off his over! The required run-rate is just a touch over 6 RPO now and BSCR will look to finish the game in the next few overs. Will be a massive victory for them! However, it is never over until it's over. However, VIK will need to produce something magical here
BSC Rehberge 1945 need another 31 runs from 5 overs Harsha Busireddy to bowl the sixth
