Update - We've some unfortunate news from the venue! The game has been abandoned due to heavy rain! It's a real shame because this was a game between two sides who had remained unbeaten so far in the tournament and one of them was likely to loose that streak today! But as it looks like, they will both hold on to that streak for a bit longer!
Update: The match has been delayed due to rain. The pitch is being covered now by the groundsmen. Stay tuned for more updates! It was raining throughout the first innings and the umpires have decided that the second innings cannot get underway for now.
Indian CC Vienna 114/5 in 10 overs Mehar Cheema 43(18) | Osman Khan 2/23 Harmeet Singh 25 *(11) | Itibarshah Deedar 1/7
Right so, Indian CC Vienna have finished off with a 114 here and this has been an unbelievable comeback from them! They were struggling at 30 after 4 overs but they picked up the momentum from there as Mehar Cheema went berserk and scored 43 of just 18 balls.
He was given good company by Kunal Joshi who scored 19. Towards the end, it was Harmeet Singh who upped the ante with the lower order batters as he smashed a whirlwind cameo of 25 of just 11 balls.
The Donaustadt bowlers did well as they started off well initially! Itibarshah Deedar was the pick of the bowlers as he was brilliant in the powerplay. Osman Khan picked up a couple of wickets too but tapered off towards the back end of the innings.
Overall, this is a good score but Donaustadt have a star studded batting line up! Both these teams haven't lost a single game in the season and therefore the stakes would be really high when they come for the second innings.

Daud Zadran, RHB, comes to the crease.
9.1 Ishaq Safi to Shekil Zadran, OUT! LBW! A low full toss outside off, Zadran shuffles across a long way and looks to drill that one away. Misses and he is struck on the back-pad. Was almost a yorker and despite the angle taking it away, it would've just hit some part of off stump surely!
