Has there been a better run-chase in this edition of the ECS so far? My word was that an absolutely stunning effort from Rehberge with the bat as they blew Dresden out of the contest without giving them any opportunity to comeback. They took off right from the word go and boy were they in the mood to take the bowlers to the cleaners!
71 runs off the powerplay, probably one of the best we have seen in the entire ECS thus far. It was Najibullah Yasser and Asim Rehman who got Rehberge off to an incredible start and there was no looking back as they got past the line comfortably with eight wickets and 15 deliveries to spare. Yasser was the star with a swashbuckling 15-ball 54 as he came out all guns blazing, setting the chase up quite beautifully.
Asim Rehman and Luqman Jafer doing the rest to ensure they got past the line easily in what has been a complete trashing of the Dresden bowing unit. Nothing went right for Dresden in that innings as they were all but spectators to the carnage that took the game away from them in no time and how!
Rehberge completing the double as well, going on to top the Group A table with this wonderful victory. They have been the most dominant team of the group and have lived up to their expectations as well. As for Dresden, this would be a much-needed break for them, to put this loss behind and regroup.
Well then, that is all we have from this game as we come to an end of the Group A leg of this edition. Join us tomorrow as we get back with action that kick starts in the Group B leg. Until then, this is Rishab and Soorya as the two of us bid goodbye. Have a great night!
That's that then! Done and dusted in style as Rehberge complete the double and wrap up what has been an incredible run-chase. A fitting way to end the final Group A game with such action, that should set the tone for the Group B games coming up. Marvelous victory to say the least!
8.0
7.3 Sandeep Kamboj to Asim Rehman, SIX! THERE YOU GO - REHMAN SEALS IT IN EMPHATIC FASHION! Poetic justice really given how these runs were ransacked without a fuss! It was a length delivery just outside off and Rehman launches it over mid-on. He didn't seem to time it too well but it was enough to clear a leaping fielder at long on to seal the contest for his side. It has been an annihilation of the highest order as BSC Rehberge win by 8 wickets with a mammoth 15 deliveries to spare!
7.2 Sandeep Kamboj to Luqman Jafer, OUT! JAFER HOLES OUT! Good length delivery just outside the off-stump and in the corridor, Jafer miscues his swing across the line and skies it very high before the fielder runs in from wide long on to pouch a really good catch as he keeps his eyes on the ball!
7.1 Sandeep Kamboj to Luqman Jafer, FOUR! Dropped short at the stumps again and Jafer swivels into a thumping pull over mid-wicket as the ball crosses the ropes like a tracer bullet! The scores are level!
Past the hundred-mark and Rehberge are now just a hit away from wrapping this game up. This has been some really solid batting from them and there could not have been a better way for them to finish the group games could there have? They've given Dresden no chance whatsoever in this second innings! Just 5 more needed then!

6.6 Hossain Mobarak to Luqman Jafer, full in length and angled into the stumps, Jafer comes forward to drill it down to long on to retain strike with a single.
6.5 Hossain Mobarak to Asim Rehman, back of a length delivery that is angled into the off-stump, Asim pulls it firmly along the ground before the fielder at deep square leg cuts across to his left to stop the ball.
6.4 Hossain Mobarak to Asim Rehman, SIX! SMOTHERED! Another short delivery that is dropped halfway down the track and there is only one way they've been dealt with today - pulled handsomely over mid-wicket as Asim swivels on his back foot. Brings up the 100 for Rehberge!
6.3 Hossain Mobarak to Luqman Jafer, very full and dipping into the blockhole at the stumps, Jafer comes forward to push it down towards long on for a single.
6.2 Hossain Mobarak to Asim Rehman, back of a length delivery wide of off, Asim throws his bat at it and smears it down towards the sweeper cover fielder for a single.
6.1 Hossain Mobarak to Asim Rehman, back of a length delivery that comes in with the angle and lands on the fourth-stump line, Asim swings across the line in vain as the ball lobs over the stumps to the keeper.
Rehberge getting closer and closer to the target now. They are just a few hits away from what will be an absolutely dominant run-chase. A good over for them yet again this and they have been cruising all the way through right from the word go!

5.6 Nilakantha Sahoo to Luqman Jafer, back of a length delivery that is angled wide of off, Jafer holds his ground and slaps it straight to the fielder at cover near the inner ring. Back-to-back dots to round off the over!
5.5 Nilakantha Sahoo to Luqman Jafer, length delivery that is angled into the fourth-stump line, Jafer stands tall to push it with a straight bat along the pitch to the left of the bowler.
5.4 Nilakantha Sahoo to Luqman Jafer, good length delivery outside off, Jafer comes forward and lifts it high over the wide mid-off region before the ball drops well short of the fielder in the deep. The batters pick up a comfortable brace.
5.3 Nilakantha Sahoo to Luqman Jafer, FOUR! EASY PICKINGS! Another shoddy delivery that is sprayed into the pads and Jafer helps it down to the fine leg fence with a little tickle off his bat!
