That's it from here, hope you enjoyed the coverage. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Mohul signing off
This is an impressive run chase. It looked like Markhor were on the back foot until the halfway stage but that brilliant partnership between Raja and Arslan helped them to turn the tide in their favour. Shahzad gave his team a flying start but he slowed down after the first over and got frustrated with a lack of contribution from the other end
Amir Sohail was promoted up the order but failed to score boundaries at regular intervals, which added more pressure initially. Markhor's key batters fell at a crucial stage but Umer Raja joined hands with Arslan to give nightmares for the bowlers. The duo were dealing in boundaries and sixes and just when it looked the chase will get away from the hands of Markhor, they fought back and produced a match-winning partnership. Siva Prasad bowled a brilliant first over but he conceded 25 runs in his final over and that led to the downfall of Telugu XI
9.2 Siva Patti to Umer Raja, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Short of a length on off and middle. Raja works it away to wide of deep midwicket and the fielder fumbles to allow a boundary! MARKHOR WIN THIS GAME!
9.1 Siva Patti to Shah Khalid, short of a length on middle and leg. Khalid works it away to deep square leg for a run.
9.1 Siva Patti to Umer Raja, WIDE outside off again! The keeper fumbles and a bye is sneaked through.
9.1 Siva Patti to Umer Raja, WIDE outside off first ball!
What a partnership that turned out to be. Just when you have to be very tight with your line and lengths, the Telugu XI bowlers are losing the radar and bowling too many loose deliveries
