Match summary:
Napa Kings win by 9 wickets with 20 balls to spare
Gurdip Sharma 53(22) | Lakhwinder Singh 2/21 (2) Amir Hussain 36*(26) | Rana Abdul 1/36 (2)
Well, as it turns out, the Qalandars scored all their extra runs in their game against Everest earlier today - they sure fell quite a few short this time! The Qalandars bowling is turning out to be quite the cause of concern - Everest made a game out of a chase of over 180 first, and now, the Napa Kings have given the Qalandars an absolute walloping as they cruise through to a victory, gaining a bonus point while at it.
Kings' openers, Gurdip Singh and Rajinder Kumar went after the Qalandars bowling in tandem, enjoying the odd slice of luck every now and then. While it was Rajinder Kumar who went after the attack earlier, Gurdip Singh then got in on the act, smashing Prashant Patel to all corners and taking 24 off the 2nd over. Gurdip proceeded to complete a half-century within 5 overs, and looked set to end it himself but holed out.
Ali Khan then came in and wasted no time at all. Rajinder Kumar took a backseat as Ali went on the attack, raced to 33 off 9 in the process of taking Napa Kings home with enough time to take the extra point.
6.4 Sohail Ahmed to Ali Khan, NAPA KINGS WIN WITH THE BONUS POINT! SIX RUNS! Length ball bowled with some air on it. Ali Khan comes forward and smokes it over deep cover for a flat maximum!
6.4 Sohail Ahmed to Ali Khan, FIVE WIDES! Full down the leg-side. Ali leaves it, the keeper does nothing about it and the ball races away to fine-leg!
6.3 Sohail Ahmed to Ali Khan, FOUR! Full around off-stump. Blasted through the covers off the front foot for a boundary!
6.2 Sohail Ahmed to Ali Khan, SIX! Full toss on middle-and-leg. Ali comes down the wicket and hoicks it over deep square-leg for a maximum!
6.1 Sohail Ahmed to Ali Khan, full, wide and slow outside off-stump. Driven firmly to cover off the front foot, no run.
Sohail Ahmed (1-0-15-0) is back into the attack
Ali Khan has wasted no time in getting going! The fact that the Kings had two batters at one end, and the ball never made it to the keeper's end at all pretty much sums the game up for them. Napa Kings will need 16 off the next over for a bonus point.

5.6 Rana Abdul to Ali Khan, AH HA! WELL WELL WELL! Full around off-stump. Driven to the cover fielder who does well to stop it. There is a big mix-up between the batters but the throw to the non-striker's end is the wrong one! It should have been at the striker's end and that allows for the single to be taken!
5.5 Rana Abdul to Ali Khan, OH DEAR! FOUR RUNS! Short outside off-stump. Slammed away to deep cover off the back foot. The fielder there makes a hash of it and gives away a boundary!
5.4 Rana Abdul to Ali Khan, SIX RUNS! On the legs this time. Flicked away well over deep backward square-leg for a biggie!
5.3 Rana Abdul to Ali Khan, SHELLED! Short on leg-and-middle. Pulled around to backward square-leg who spills an easy catch! No run taken in the end.
5.2 Rana Abdul to Ali Khan, SIX! Length ball around off-stump. Ali gets in position and smashes it high and handsome over cow corner!
Ali Khan, RHB, comes to the crease
5.1 Rana Abdul to Gurdip Sharma, TAKEN! Length ball around off-stump. Smacked on the up across the line but straight down the throat of long-on! Good catch here!
Gurdip Sharma c Numan Munir b Rana Abdul 53 (22b 7x4 3x6)
5.1 Rana Abdul to Gurdip Sharma, WIDE down the leg-side with the attempted yorker! Time to reload.
Rana Abdul (1-0-18-0) is back into the attack
The equation for the bonus point is now 34 off 2 overs. Gurdip Sharma had pulled clear of his opening partner, and he has a half-century to his name now. The result seems imminent with the Kings' opening duo smashing the Qalandars attack throughout these five overs.
