Eldho Paulose isn't fit to play so that's the end of the innings!
Gozo Zalmi beat Red Stars by 100 runs.
Adnan Anwar 63 (31) | Zeeshan Khan (2/0) Tony Thomas 23 (15) | Dilshad Ali (1/19)
Two back-to-back massive defeats for the Stars here. Both of them followed the same pattern: Zalmi put up a brilliant batting performance in the first innings and the Stars just lacked any kind of quality to challenge the total in the second.
Jacob and Thomas, their most technically solid players, tried to play out the first few overs but that didn't work for long as Kaushal came and prized out the former's wicket. After that, every Zalmi bowler just kept straight lines and tried to hit the stumps.
The middle-order batters gave easy catches trying to force runs runs while the lower order just couldn't protect the furniture. Zalmi used as many as eight bowlers in the match and six of them got at least a wicket.
8.3 Zeeshan Khan to Anandhu Prathapan, BOWLED! Quicker on a good length, Prathapan clears the front leg and tries to play on the back foot but it's a wrong option as the ball rattles the middle stump. Looks like Paulose is unfit to bat, so that's the end of the match as Zalmi did a double over the Stars

8.2 Zeeshan Khan to Anandhu Prathapan, loopy delivery on middle stump, Prathapan digs it to the leg-side

Tony Thomas' wicket was the last straw in this match. He's the one player who can turn around matches with his batting but just didn't fire today.
