Fighters CC win by 8 wickets with 18 balls remaining
Muhammad Bilal 45*(16) | Mandeep Singh - 1/2 (2) Muhammad Asaduzzaman 46(24) | Mirza Noman - 1/30 (2)
An absolute cruise to the finish line for the Fighters CC who take away all the points on offer from this contest giving none to the Rangers CC who continue the search for their first win in the competition.
104 was never going to be enough for the Rangers unless they put on a spectacular effort on the field but unfortunately for them it turned to be a pretty sloppy one. The innings started with a six off the first ball by Parminder who was then castled by a beauty from Noman to make things interesting. But that was about that as far as the Rangers were concerned.
Muhammad Bilal joined hands with Harjot Sahota and the duo dismissed any chances of a wobble with the bat as they started smoking the bowlers to all parts. Some ordinary bowling and fielding helped their cause too as the duo put on 89 runs in 6 overs together before Sahota was run out.
The job was done by the time and Bilal applied the finishing touches and got the winning runs and also got himself a nice little asterisk besides his name in the scorecard.

6.6 Ubaydur Rahman to Muhammad Bilal, SIX! Fighters CC wrap things up and take a bonus point with it! Full, right in the slot outside off, Bilal swings himself off his feet slogging at this one, and he clears cow corner with it
6.6 Ubaydur Rahman to Muhammad Bilal, wide, full, well down the leg side
6.5 Ubaydur Rahman to Jatinder Singh, skied... safe. Short of a length on off, Jatinder has a slash at it, edges it towards deep third for a single
6.4 Ubaydur Rahman to Jatinder Singh, full on middle and off, Jatinder has a swipe having made room, misses
6.3 Ubaydur Rahman to Muhammad Bilal, full outside off, hoicked towards the man at long on for a single
Jatinder Singh, LHB, is the new batter
6.3 Ubaydur Rahman to Muhammad Bilal, wide, short of a length, angled down the leg side
6.2 Ubaydur Rahman to Muhammad Bilal, Bilal runs down the wicket, takes this one on the full outside off, and bunts it towards deep extra. There's some hesitation between the batters as they go for two... and Sahota is short of his ground as the bowler gathers a throw on the bounce and takes the bails off
6.1 Ubaydur Rahman to Muhammad Bilal, SIX! This one flies miles over the boundary at deep mid wicket
Ubyadur Rahman [1.0-0-12-0] comes back into the attack
14 off that over and it is all seeming all too easy for the batters, Just 16 needed now and expect them to try and finish it in this over itself to get the bonus point.
