Punjab CC Amadora 71/4 (6 overs) Simranjeet Singh 40 (13) | Absar Alam 1/11
PUNJAB CC AMADORA are the champions of ECSN Portugal 2024. The players gather around in a huddle and are jumping with exuberance and joy to celebrate this win.
It would not be wrong to say that the writing was pretty much on the wall when Oeiras' strong batting line up had been restricted to a subpar score of 70 all out. While, Oeiras batters were a little bit timid and tentative with their approach, you cannot take the credit away from the Punjab CC Amadora bowlers. They were accurate, at the stumps, and used the unevenness in the surface to their advantage. The fielders radiated positivity and were vigorous throughout the innings.
The batting did see some speed bumps. But Simranjeet Singh, who was promoted in the order on the big day, ensured that the team was never put in a position where they had to panic. He played his natural game, which is about using the long handle and his powerful forearms. The five towering sixes off his bat had already sealed the deal. Lovepreet's single down to backward square leg was merely to complete the formalities.
On the other hand, it is another heartbreak for Oeiras. They dominated the entire tournament, only to falter at the business end. A script they have seen play out in the past. But they only have themselves to blame.

5.6 Taj Muhammad to Lovepreet Singh, length ball on the pads. Tucked to backward square leg and THOSE ARE THE WINNING RUNS! PUNJAB CC AMADORA HAVE WON THE FINALS IN DOMINATING FASHION! HEARTBREAK FOR OEIRAS! The celebrations from the winning team are rhapsodic.
5.6 Taj Muhammad to Lovepreet Singh, OH DEAR! Short and wide down the leg side. Evades the skipper behind the wickets and thuds into the fence.
New man in is Lovepreet Singh, LHB.
5.5 Taj Muhammad to Parveen Singh, OUT!! Back of a length. He ramps it down to third man who runs a few paces to his left and gobbles it. Parveen Singh c Ravinder Kumar b Taj Muhammad 2 (5b, 0x4, 0x6)
5.4 Taj Muhammad to Adnan Ali, INSIDE EDGE! The ball misses the stump and they would run one before fine leg can field it.
5.3 Taj Muhammad to Adnan Ali, more of the same. The batter swings hard and does not connect.
5.2 Taj Muhammad to Adnan Ali, length ball that whistles past the batter who backs away and swings in vain.
5.1 Taj Muhammad to Parveen Singh, hit to deep extra cover for a single. Only 7 more to win now.
Adnan Ali, RHB, is the new batter. Taj Muhammad [1-0-17-0] bowls now.

4.6 Muhammad Fahid to Simranjeet Singh, CAUGHT AT LONG OFF!! Fahid gets his first wicket at the ECN! It was full and Simranjeet did not time it well. Asim Sarwar dived to his left to catch it.
Simranjeet Singh c Asim Sarwar b Muhammad Fahid 40 (13b, 2x4, 4x6)
4.5 Muhammad Fahid to Simranjeet Singh, FLIES OFF THE OUTSIDE EDGE! The keeper jumps but cannot get to it. The man at deep third runs across but cannot prevent the boundary.
4.4 Muhammad Fahid to Parveen Singh, YORKER AGAIN! Dug out again. The ball goes past the bowler, down to mid off. OH! THERE IS A DIRECT HIT AT THE BOWLER'S END! But he was comfortably in.
4.3 Muhammad Fahid to Simranjeet Singh, switches to over the wicket. YORKER!! But Simranjeet is able to drive it down to mid off and pick a run.
4.2 Muhammad Fahid to Simranjeet Singh, MORE OF THE SAME!! It has been launched into orbit and the ball sails over the ropes at the cow's corner.
4.1 Muhammad Fahid to Simranjeet Singh, runs in from around the wicket. SMASHED FOR SIX!!! Simranjeet hanged back and that allowed him to get underneath the length ball. He smoked it over midwicket for a maximum.
