Hungary beat Finland by 85 runs!
Leus du Plooy 93 (27) and 3-5 Vinoth Ravindran 46 (20) | Abbas Ghani 2-2
As was expected, Hungary beat Finland by a massive margin here. The batters of Finland just did not put up a fight, and this is what will disappoint them a lot.
Their batsmen could very well have stood firm and fought back, but they chose not to do so. This win will give Hungary a lot of confidence as well as boost their net run rate by a lot.
Finland, on the other hand, need to take a long, hard look at themselves in the mirror in order to figure out where it was that they went wrong.
Hungary were the better side today by a huge margin, and they showed it in all three departments: batting, bowling and fielding. The two du Plooys were brilliant, both with bat and ball!
9.2 Shaikh Rasik to Raaz Mohammad, OUT! It's all over! On a good length just outside off, Raaz, having moved across his stumps, tried to paddle it away. He was rushed for pace, struck high up on the pads, Hungary appealed, the umpire took a while, but raised his finger eventually! Hungary take the honours by a massive margin - 85 runs!
Raaz Mohammad lbw b Sheikh Rasik 1 (4b 0x4 0x6)
9.1 Shaikh Rasik to Raaz Mohammad, byes, FOUR! Slower ball, pitched up outside off, Raaz was far too early with his swing across the line. The keeper failed to gather on the bounce, the ball ricocheted off his pads, rolled towards fine leg, and beat the chasing fielder to the ropes
Sheikh Rasik, right arm medium, will bowl the final over.
Hungary are just one wicket away from a spectacular victory. If they manage to bag this wicket, their net run rate will get a big boost!

8.6 Mark Des Fontaine to Akhil Arjunan, SIX! Full, on off stump this time, Arjunan gets right under this one and clubs it over long off!
8.5 Mark Des Fontaine to Raaz Mohammad, on a good length across the batter, sliced towards the man at cover, the batters hare through for a run
8.4 Mark Des Fontaine to Raaz Mohammad, short of a length on leg stump, Raaz defends off the back foot
Raaz Mohammad, LHB, is the last batsman.
8.3 Mark Des Fontaine to Parveen Kumar, BOWLS HIM! Des Fontaine lands the yorker well enough this time - he aims for leg stump, Parveen Kumar swings all around it, the ball clips the pad and crashes onto leg stump!

8.2 Mark Des Fontaine to Akhil Arjunan, in the air...put down! Full on leg stump from round the wicket, Arjunan looked to slog but skied it towards deep backward square. The man out there ran in, but couldn't hold on
8.1 Mark Des Fontaine to Parveen Kumar, full, on leg stump, squeezed out towards deep mid wicket for a run
8.1 Mark Des Fontaine to Parveen Kumar, wide, wayward full toss, down the leg side
Mark des Fontaine, right arm medium, is into the attack.
Eight overs have been bowled, and Finland are nowhere close to getting to the target they are chasing. This is surely going to be Hungary's game.

7.4 Abbas Ghani to Nicholas Salonen, skied....GHANI TAKES IT HIMSELF! Short of a length delivery just outside off, rushes Salonen for pace as he miscues this one trying to pull, the ball bobbles towards short mid wicket, Ghani goes after it himself and makes no mistake whatsoever!
