The European Cricket League keeps on delivering day-in-day-out and tonight was no exception. However, for the time being this is me Vatsal Vora on behalf of Darpan Tikiya signing off.

Hamza Niaz - 103* (34) | Kamran Ahmadzai - 1/25 Nisar Ahmed - 74* (28) | Rukhsar Ahmed - 1/44
What an incredible game we have witnessed here at the Cartama Oval. The target always seemed a big one in front of Jinnah Brescia but Nisar Ahmed and Asad Tanveer made it seem like the Italians were always in control.
Dreux, however, kept their cool when it mattered in the final over. Needing 15 off the final over, Wahid Abdul ran Asad Tanveer out whilst he tried to run a bye to the wicketkeeper to take the game to a Golden Ball. Abdul, who missed a similar run out earlier in the over, kept his nerve on the final delivery to win Dreux the game!
Some excellent performance on display tonight. Nisar Ahmed and Asad Tanveer scoring 74* and 46 respectively for Jinnah Brescia. However, the star of the night for certainly Hamza Niaz who scored a brilliant 103* for Dreux! He was the differentiating factor in the end!
WHAT A GAME!
9.6 Wahid Abdul to Asad Tanveer, very full and he cannot get underneath it. Hit back to the bowler and they call for a single. Abdul runs to the bowler's end stumps and breaks them before Tanveer can make his ground. He is short by half a foot.
Asad Tanveer run out (Wahid Abdul) 46 (16b, 2x4, 6x6).
Two to win off the final ball! A tie will see us go into the Golden Ball situation.
9.5 Wahid Abdul to Asad Tanveer, SIX! What a shot. Wide and full from Abdul and Tanveer has thrown his hands at it and then used his wrists to generate power. She goes over extra cover for half a dozen.
Dot ball is like a piece of gold! 8 off 2 now for Jinnah Brescia to win!
9.4 Wahid Abdul to Asad Tanveer, swing and a miss! Tanveer loses his shape in trying to whack it with all his might.
How did Abdul miss the run-out there?! Nisar Ahmed had given up!
8 off 3!
9.3 Wahid Abdul to Nisar Ahmed, they run a bye as Nisar Ahmed misses this one. Keeper lobs it up back to Abdul who rolls it to the bowler's end stumps and misses. Nisar would have been out had he hit.
9.2 Wahid Abdul to Nisar Ahmed, heaved away to midwicket. Should have been a single but misfield in the deep allows one more.
11 of 5! Great start to the final over.
9.1 Wahid Abdul to Nisar Ahmed, FOUR!! That was full and wide. Nisar Ahmed tried to drive it away but got a thick outside edge and the ball travels down to third man and gives him the result he wanted.
We are going down to the wire here at the Cartama Oval! 15 needed off the final over.
Wahid Abdul [1.0-0-20-0] will bowl the final over.

8.3 Hamza Saleem Dar to Nisar Ahmed, BIG ONE!! Full ball in the slot and he has hit a lofted straight drive for a massive one.
