That's all that we have for you from the first ECS game of the day. Four more games to come over the course of the day - keep an eye on our tabs for our coverage of all of them! This is Rajarshi Das, signing off on behalf of Bidipto Datta. See you later!
Bucharest Zalmi began their chase on the perfect note - Talha Ansari went on the attack as Jass Saini took a backseat. Ansari's onslaught helped the Zalmi end the powerplay with a run rate of exactly 14, and they looked dead set favourites at the time. Zalmi's momentum was hindered right after the end of the powerplay, though - Harman Harman came into the attack, did for Saini first before Ansari suffered a dodgy call from the umpire in the same over.
Atif Naqvi and Abdur Rahman kept the fight on going into the slog overs - Naqvi, with a bad back, found the boundaries on quite a few occasions alongside Rahman. It was in the last four overs that the tide shifted - Taha Lodhi went for a mere four runs in the 7th, taking some wind out of the chase. 7 came off the next, 8 off the penultimate as Rahman swung and missed far too often before perishing in the 9th. Transylvania closed the game out with ease after that.

2/7
9.6 Mahesh Hingorani to Sudip Biswas, BOWLED HIM! TRANSYLVANIA WIN! Full, slow but straight. Sudip heaves trying to get it over wide mid-on. He misses and the ball smashes the stumps!
Sudip Biswas b Mahesh Hingorani 0 (3b, 0x4, 0x6)
9.5 Mahesh Hingorani to Sudip Biswas, full on the pads, down the leg-side. The attempted swish over square-leg gets missed. No leg-bye possible.
9.4 Mahesh Hingorani to Sudip Biswas, good length away-going ball around off-stump. A swing and a miss across the line by dancing down the track!
Sudip Biswas, RHB, comes to the crease
9.3 Mahesh Hingorani to Muhammad Abubakar, GOT HIM! Good length slower ball on leg-stump. A step-out and a slog over mid-wicket. It gets top-edged. Deep mid-wicket settles under it to take a really good high catch!
Muhammad Abubakar c Taha Lodhi b Mahesh Hingorani 7 (8b 0x4 1x6)
9.2 Mahesh Hingorani to Muhammad Abubakar, full an slow around off-stump. A swing across the line blindly, and another miss!
9.1 Mahesh Hingorani to Ilandari Chathuranga, good length ball outside leg-stump. Chathuranga gets beside the line and heaves. He misses but gets a leg-bye to third man.
Well, the Zalmi might well be content with the bonus point from this game - 34 off the last over seems out of reach for two relatively new batters.
