It seemed as if the Trakia innings just did not get going. They found it extremely tough to carry on after Dave Patel wove his magic around them and managed to scalp four wickets for just seven runs. None of the batters of Pleven stood up to rise to the challenge set to them by the bowlers of Trakia.
Apoorv Mishra, who had been adjudged the player of the match in their previous game against Indo-Bulgarian earlier in the day, went for a golden duck, and the rest of the batting collapsed all around him. This just showed how much of the Pleven batting revolves around Mishra.
The moment he failed, the rest of the batters failed to live up to the expectation. Trakia will be extremely pleased with the way they went about things here, just as much as Pleven will be disappointed with their poor showing.

Abbas Zaidii
1/9
9.6 Abbas Zaidi to Arun Joy, TRAKIA BAG THE TWO POINTS! Pitched up on the off-stump line, sneaking past the outside edge and the top of off-stump to thud into the keeper's gloves. CC Yullis - MU Trakia beat VTU-MU Pleven by 52 runs!
9.6 Abbas Zaidi to Arun Joy, wide. Wayward delivery well beyond the tramline. Will have to be bowled again
9.5 Abbas Zaidi to Jinoy Raju, on the good length angled into Jinoy. Works it to square leg and scurries across to the other end
9.4 Abbas Zaidi to Arun Joy, at the back of a length on the middle stump. Joy taps it with soft hands before sneaking a sharp single
9.3 Abbas Zaidi to Arun Joy, at the back of a length outside the off-stump. Joy wafts and only connects with fresh air, no run
Arun Joy, RHB, is the last batter.
9.2 Abbas Zaidi to Amal Thomas, NICKED AND GONE! At the back of a length outside the off-stump. It seemed like Thomas missed out on his cut but the keeper appealed for the catch after taking it cleanly. There was nothing from the bowler, but the umpire was still convinced enough to raise the finger.
Amal Thomas c Zaid Soulat b Abbas Zaidi 4 (6b 1x4 0x6)
9.1 Abbas Zaidi to Jinoy Raju, at the back of a length on the fourth stump line. Jinoy cuts it towards point for a single
Abbas Zaidi [1-0-6-0] will bowl the final over.
Jishnu has departed as well, and no recognised batters of Pleven remain at the crease. This game has become a rather one-sided affair.

Waleed Khan
2/9
8.6 Waleed Khan to Jinoy Raju, leg bye. Angled into the right-hander from a back of a length. Deflects off Jinoy's thigh pad for a single behind square
8.5 Waleed Khan to Jinoy Raju, on the good length outside the off-stump. Beats Jinoy for pace as he dangles his bat out, no run
Jinoy Raju, RHB, is the new batter.
8.4 Waleed Khan to Jishnu Sivakumar, GONE! Short of a length on the off-stump line. Sivakumar mistimes his cut that is sliced straight to the fielder at point for the simplest of catches. Pleven are eight down now.
Jishnu Sivakumar c Abdur Khan b Waleed Khan 21 (18b 2x4 1x6)
8.3 Waleed Khan to Jishnu Sivakumar, OHH! On the good length at the middle stump line. Sivakumar swings and misses. Not sure how that didn't hit the stumps, no run
8.2 Waleed Khan to Jishnu Sivakumar, FOUR! STREAKY! On the good length wide outside off. Sivakumar throws his bat at it and skews a thick outside edge that flies over short third
8.1 Waleed Khan to Jishnu Sivakumar, on the full length around off. Sivakumar chips it into the off-side, no run
