Sheraz Afzal 32* (25) | Attiq Ur Rehman - 2/13 (2) Asjad Butt 43 (23) | Abdullah Abdullah - 3/18 (2)
This innings see-sawed from one end to another but in the end, the low-scoring thriller went the way of Cricket Stars who are still alive in the group!
It looked as though this would be an easy win for the Stars with all four points secured. But Markhor Milano did not let that happen. They gave it their all with ball in hand and in the field, to take this match to the final over!
Sheraz Afzal and Nasir Ramzan were the only two contributors of substance for Cricket Stars but that was good enough for them. Rafatur Rafat and Waqar Tauqeer were the pick of the bowlers for Markhor Milano, but the efforts they put in were not quite enough in the end.
So, it's three points to the Stars, but Milano now have it in their hands in the next game of making the next round from this group.
9.5 Waqar Tauqeer to Sheraz Afzal, FOUR RUNS AND CRICKET STARS WIN, fuller delivery around the off stump, Afzal looks to heave it on the leg side but it is an outside edge that flies towards third man, the fielder was in the circle and it runs away to the boundary. WHAT A THRILLER!!
Nalain Haider, RHB, is at the non-striker's end.
9.4 Waqar Tauqeer to Majid Muhammad, THAT IS A RUN OUT, another slower one outside off, Majid does not pick it again, they try to sneak in a bye and the keeper throws it to the bowler who scores a direct hit, Majid will have to go
Majid Muhammad run out (Hammad Malik/Waqar Tauqeer) 9 (6b, 2x4, 0x6)
9.3 Waqar Tauqeer to Majid Muhammad, slower and outside off, Majid swings and misses
9.2 Waqar Tauqeer to Majid Muhammad, TOP EDGE AND THAT WILL RUN AWAY, short one and Majid goes for the pull, gets a top edge that goes over the keeper for a crucial boundary
9.1 Waqar Tauqeer to Majid Muhammad, fuller outside off, Majid plays and misses, DOT BALL
Okay then, the equation is simple - 7 runs to win for Cricket Stars in 6 balls! But, the first couple of balls will be crucial for both sides!
