Commentary

That brings us to the end of our coverage for this encounter. Switch tabs to follow the England Netherlands World Cup game which is currently underway. For now, this is me (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator and good mate Mohul Bhowmick.

Southern Crusaders won by 4 wickets (with 4 deliveries to spare)

Gopal Thakur 30(16) | Lakshitha Senavirathana 3/20(2)
Gunakhar Chapagain 19*(15) | Tanka Kandel 2/12(2)

It turned out to be a close contest in the end but the Southern Crusaders managed to hold their nerves and win the game by 6 wickets. A couple of quick wickets put some pressure back on the Crusaders but Gopal Thakur turned it around for them with some brilliant batting. He didn't try to play big shots, instead he just found the gaps and eventually finished with a score of 30 which came in 16 deliveries and included 6 boundaries.

Ishantha Kariyawasam also looked in good touch but just when it looked the match would finish with atleast two overs to spare, the Gzira United bowlers made a great comeback, keeping the ball in the right areas and also managing to get some crucial wickets. They brought the equation down to 8 required off 7 before a five wide ended their hopes. Tanka Kandel and Buddhisagar Bhandari were the pick of the bowlers, with two apiece.

9.2 Akhar Patel to Mahabub Rahman, FOUR! SHOT! Short and wide outside off, moves away. Rahman goes back and cuts it away wide of point for a boundary to seal the deal for his team! SOUTHERN CRUSADERS WIN THIS GAME!

9.1 Akhar Patel to Mahabub Rahman, short of a length on off and middle, comes back in. Rahman tries to evade it but gets hit on the inside of his shoulders.

Gzira United still need 3 runs to win this contest. What a brilliant over this from Bhandari. Not many would have expected this to happen. If not for the side, it could have been much better.

9.1 Akhar Patel to Mahabub Rahman, WIDE down the legside! Rahman lets it go through.

8.6 Buddhisagar Bhandari to Lakshitha Senavirathna, short of a length outside off, moves away. Lakshitha swings hard at it but misses out.

8.5 Buddhisagar Bhandari to Lakshitha Senavirathna, FIVE WIDES! Drifts down the legside and beats the keeper. The ball runs away to the fence and tilts the game in the batting side's favour!

8.5 Buddhisagar Bhandari to Mahabub Rahman, at a length outside off, moves away. Rahman slashes at it but gets an outside edge wide of the keeper. Single taken.

Mahabub Rahman, LHB is the new man in.

Can Gzira pull off a miracle here? The set batter back in the hut and it's still 9 required off 8 deliveries. United have not given up, have kept fighting and now there is a realistic chance of a dramatic upset.

8.4 Buddhisagar Bhandari to Ishantha Kariyawasam, BOWLED HIM! Full and straight on off and middle, comes back in with the angle. Ishantha tries to whip it away to the on side but misses. The ball takes a bit of an inside edge and then shatters onto the stumps!

8.3 Buddhisagar Bhandari to Ishantha Kariyawasam, short of a length and wide outside off, moves away. Ishantha slashes at it but misses out.

8.2 Buddhisagar Bhandari to Ishantha Kariyawasam, short of a length outside off, moves away. Ishantha cuts at it but does not connect.

8.1 Buddhisagar Bhandari to Ishantha Kariyawasam, at a length on off and middle. Ishantha pats it back to the bowler.

The Crusaders just 9 runs away from picking up a victory in their first game but they are making heavy work of this below par target. A brilliant over has just about kept United in the game.
