Greece beat Isle of Man by 6 wickets!
Alexis Souvlakis 35 (22) | Amin Qasir 2-2 Joe Burrows 34 (18) | JJ Griffin 2-6
As was expected, Greece coasted to a rather comfortable win by the end of the game. This win will give the Greeks a lot of confidence given how poorly they had started this tournament.
Isle of Man did their best to try and restrict Greece towards the end, but they could not pull it off. At times, it seemed as if Isle of Man would be able to pull off the unthinkable but they could not, as things turned out.
Greece managed to keep their calm under pressure and win this game. Isle of Man will be disappointed that they could not keep going till the end, although they will also be the first to admit that it was their batting that let them down big time.
Had they been a bit more considerate with their batting and careful with how they tackled spin bowling, Isle of Man might have emerged on the winning side. However, as things turned out, Greece are the winners of this game.
9.3 JJ Griffin to Georgios Galanis, WIDE, the most anti-climactic end! It's short and down the leg side, Galanis thought of pulling it to square leg but let it be, the keeper didn't collect it either and it runs away to the boundary. GREECE QUALIFY!
Georgios Galanis, LHB, is in at 7.
9.2 JJ Griffin to Sinan Khan, OUT! LBW! WHAT IS HAPPENING? Yorker on the middle-stump, that just shapes in slightly, Khan tries to flick it but misses and is wrapped on the pads plumb in front
Sinan Khan lbw b JJ Griffin 1 (3b 0x4 0x6)
9.1 JJ Griffin to Sinan Khan, full on the stumps, flicked to short mid-wicket for no run
Although this game started on the right note, Langford could not quite finish it off. Sinan and Mohammad have almost got Greece over the line here. Isle of Man will keep repenting about what might have been...

A run a ball is needed now. Isle of Man are not giving up at all. They are going to take this game right down to the wire. It is not going to be easy for Greece from now.

7.6 Joe Burrows to Amarpreet Singh Mehmi, OH! DROPPED! Short and on the body, Mehmi pulls it over to square leg, the fine leg fielder runs and reaches out for it but just about manages to keep it in
