That brings us to the end of our coverage for this encounter. Till the next time, this is me (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off on behalf of my fellow commentator Rajarshi Das.
Royal CC won by 9 wickets (with 37 deliveries to spare)
It turned out to be a rather straightforward run chase for the Royal CC as they chased down the below par target of 49 with more than six overs to spare.
They were hardly tested at any stage of the game and it was a fitting end to what turned out to be one of the most one sided games you will ever see in the network.
Out came Tajinder Kumar and Rahul Behl in the middle and started taking on the opposition bowling attack. Tajinder was the aggressor and looked in brilliant touch before an uncharacteristic misunderstanding with his partner led to his downfall.
Rahul Behl was slow to start with but once Tajinder was dismissed, he took the onus on hismelf to finish off the deal for Royal CC.
3.5 Rupesh Singh to Rahul Behl, SIX! That'll seal the deal - Behl starts walking back as soon as he crunched this one! Floated up on off stump, Behl danced down the track, swung right through the line, and proceeded to clear long off with it
3.4 Rupesh Singh to Rahul Behl, FOUR! Full, on the pads, Behl tucks this into the gap behind square, and finds the boundary with it
3.3 Rupesh Singh to Rahul Behl, SIX! Tossed up on off stump, Behl waits for this one to arrive, has a hoick through the line, and clears long on by some distance with it!
3.2 Rupesh Singh to Rahul Behl, RUN OUT! Where did that come from?! Low full toss on the pads, Behl had a waft at it, misses. The ball hits his pad and rolls to the left of the keeper, who rushes after it. Tajinder was halfway down in search of a run, was sent back, he tried taking evasive action as the throw came in but it evaded him and hit the stumps. Tajinder was yards out of his ground
Tajinder Kumar run out (Ashish Bam) 23 (11b, 4x4, 1x6)
3.1 Rupesh Singh to Rahul Behl, full toss outside off stump, nudged straight to the man at cover
That's the end of the third over and it was a brilliant over from Shyam Pandit up until the final delivery which was drilled past the extra cover fielder for a boundary. Came from the bottom half of the bat but still trickles away to the fence. Things have wind down a bit but Royal CC just need 12 more runs to win this.
