Commentary

So that'll be all from our coverage of this contest. But there's plenty more cricketing action from around the world that you should keep track of so do stay tuned to Sportskeeda for the same. For the moment though, this is the duo of Rudransh Khurana and Sooryanarayanan Sesha taking your leave. Thank you so much for being a patient audience throughout the rain delay and we hope you enjoyed our coverage. See you around soon - take care and buh-bye for now!

Match Summary: Czechia beat Cyprus by 25 runs.

Sabawoon Davizi 23 (8) | Sazib Bhuiyan 21* (8)
Shoaib Ahmad 13 (5) | Sameera Maduranga 1/1 (1)

It was a long wait but one that was eventually worth it. Inclement weather meant that we could only see six overs in total across the two innings in this contest but Czechia made the most of whatever time they had in hand to post a massive 50 on the board in their three-over quota.

Shoaib Ahmad and Roman Mazumder started off with a flurry of boundaries and with 17 runs coming off the first over, Cyprus were exactly on par with the eight-ball. It seemed as though we had a game on hand although Riaz Afridi's stupendous second over sent the asking rate escalating to gargantuan proportions.

There was one eventful moment though with Hardeep Singh bowled off a beamer and the TV umpire ruling it a no ball. It didn't see things take a turn for the better though as far as Cyprus were concerned. A sensational final over from Sameera Maduranga then ensured that Czechia not only wrapped up a win but by a solid margin at that, especially for a three-over-a-side contest. This win consolidates their position at the top of the table and puts them well on track to come out of this campaign as the winners.

Just eight runs combined off the last two overs! That is brilliant from Czechia and they've wrapped up a facile victory in this rain-curtailed contest.

2.6 Sameera Maduranga to Roshan Siriwardana, ah! Full and wide from the pacer, Siriwardana lets the last ball go. No intent to even try to entertain. Czechia will take it though, they win by 25 runs!

2.5 Sameera Maduranga to Roshan Siriwardana, on a good length and middle-stump, an awkward poke goes to the bowler and he decides against running the non-striker out

Roshan Siriwardana, RHB, comes to the crease

The ball trickles down to the ropes but it's not a no ball this time around. Hardeep has to walk back and Czechia can see the light!

2.4 Sameera Maduranga to Hardeep Singh, OUT! Played on! This time Singh tries to swing again on the leg-side but gets an inside edge that hits his stumps!

Hardeep Singh b Sameera Maduranga 2 (5b, 0x4, 0x6)

2.3 Sameera Maduranga to Hardeep Singh, same ball! On a length and across and Singh misses!

2.2 Sameera Maduranga to Hardeep Singh, another good ball! On a length and going across, Hardeep swings but gets it as far as the bowler

2.1 Sameera Maduranga to Roman Mazumder, full and in the block-hole, the batter digs it out for a single

Sameera Maduranga to bowl the final over of the game.

That over might have just sealed the deal for Czechia. Even with that no ball, it was a mere 7-run over and it's going to take a miracle of epic proportions for Cyprus to pull this off now. Do they have a Rinku Singh in them?

1.6 Riaz Afridi to Hardeep Singh! Free hit! Full on the body and they take a single with a clip on the leg side!

Goodness me that is quite an anticlimax alright! After a long deliberation, it has been given a no ball!

1.6 Riaz Afridi to Hardeep Singh, OUT! Oh no! It's a no-ball! Straight through Mazumder's wild swing but a high full-toss and the ball clips the bails off but it has been called for height!

Hardeep Singh, LHB, comes to the crease

1.5 Riaz Afridi to Roman Mazumder, RUNOUT! Ahmad goes! Mazumder is wrapped on the pads with a yorker, the ball goes to covers and they try for a quick single but Ahmad is slow and the fielder on the off-side hits the stumps!

Shoaib Ahmad run out (Sazib Bhuiyan) 13 (5b, 3x4, 0x6)

1.4 Riaz Afridi to Roman Mazumder, full and very close to the tram line, Mazumder stays still and swings but the ball just beats his bat
