That will be all from the Qualifier in Zagreb. The final is coming up in an hour and fifteen minutes from now, so, do join us for that one to see who is the champion for this season. This is Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!
Ljubljana win by 5 wickets with 1 ball to spare!
Krishna Kumar 13* (5) | Izaz Ali - 2/11 (2) Sohail Ahmad 19* (12) | Aman Maheshwari - 3/16 (2)
This was a close contest! But it was the last gasp effort of Krishna Kumar that changed the course of the innings and turned things the way of Ljubljana!
This now means that Zagreb Sokol do not either make the final or the European Cricket League next year. Zagreb Assassins are the team therefore to make the cut for the showpiece event!
However, Zagreb Sokol ran Ljubljana close today with the ball. No batter besides Krishna Kumar was able to get to double digits. Skipper Aman Maheshwari was brilliant with the ball, picking up 3 wickets and he took an excellent catch at mid-wicket but that was not to be enough for his side!
So, the final now will be played between Ljubljana and Zagreb Assassins to decided who is crowned the winner of ECS Croatia, 2023!
6.5 Sohail Ahmad to Waqar Khan, AND THAT IS THAT! LJUBLJANA WIN! Full around off-stump. Hoicked to the deep mid-wicket region through the gap for a couple of runs to pick up the winning runs!
6.4 Sohail Ahmad to Waqar Khan, short over off-stump. Waqar tries to pull it away off the back foot but fails to make contact!
6.3 Sohail Ahmad to Krishna Kumar, full around off-stump. Pushed to the backward point region off the front foot for a single.
6.2 Sohail Ahmad to Krishna Kumar, full around off-stump. A swing through the line and a miss from the crease. No run!
6.1 Sohail Ahmad to Waqar Khan, good length ball on the pads. Pushed around off the back foot to the short-leg region for a quick single! That is a leg-bye here.
