Some impressive hitting all the way through from Roma CC finished the match their way! All the batters got in and picked some some important boundaries.
There was enough firepower in the batting to nullify the threat of the likes of Atif Mehmood and Garry Park with the ball. The shots both through and across the line were absolutely brilliant!
Fielding did not help Sporting Alfas as a couple of important catches were dropped. On the whole, Roma CC were just too good in all three departments!
The next qualifier comes your way in an hour's time with Sporting Alfas taking on Zagreb Sokol for the other spot in the final!
Do join us then. It should be another cracker of a game! For now, this is Bidipto signing off. Keep following Sportskeeda!
