Match summary: Royal Strikers beat Marsa CC by 5 wickets.

Chanjal Sudarsanan 47* (28) | Priyan Pushparajan 2/18 (2)
Bikram Arora 30 (10) | Fanyan Mughal 3/14 (2)

A phenomenal construction of a run chase by Chanjal Sudarsanan. He didn't start quickly enough off the blocks, but once he picked up pace, there was simply no stopping him. And in their chase of 93, the Royal Strikers would have known that as long as Sudarsanan was out there, this game was theirs to lose.

The powerplay was a steady one, although Chamkaur Singh couldn't capitalize on a dropped chance. Skipper Priyan Pushparajan then joined Sudarsanan and the duo went about their business in steady fashion, not allowing the asking rate to escalate to insurmountable proportions. With wickets in hand, the Strikers were always on course to chase it down.

Pushparajan's wicket threw a spanner into their works, although Sudarsanan batted like a man possessed. The eight over brought a new twist into the contest with Fanyan Mughal striking a crucial double-whammy. Despite running out of partners and with 25 runs needed off the last two overs, Sudarsanan managed to hold his nerve to get the job done. It wouldn't have been possible without Manuel Augustine's invaluable cameo, as he belted a four and a six to make the former's life easy.

In the end, the Royal Strikers have pocketed their third win of the season and are getting into a nice little juggernaut. Marsa remain winless, and will have to pull things back in the second leg of this bout starting in a little while from now.

Sudarsanan seals it in style! Such a fitting end and the chief orchestrator of the chase has managed to finish it in grand fashion. Royal Strikers win by 5 wickets with 2 deliveries to spare!

9.4 Arsalan Arshad to Chanjal Sudarsanan, DROPPED AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY. Long off did well to get to it but he dropped it, and it goes behind him for a six.

9.3 Arsalan Arshad to Roshan Lorance, single down to long on.

4 runs needed off 4 deliveries...

9.2 Arsalan Arshad to Roshan Lorance, IN THE AIR and the fielder does well to stop it from going for a boundary. They run a couple.

9.1 Arslan Arshad to Chanjal Sudarsanan, flat batted back straight behind the bowler. They steal a single.

Sudarsanan on strike. Can he find the fence?

Arslan Arshad [1.0-0-10-0] to bowl the final over of the innings.

Roshan Lorance, RHB, comes to the crease.

Now then! Are we in for one more twist in the tale? Augustine has done his job, however, and has eased life for Sudarsanan at the other end. It's been an invaluable cameo on his part but it's now on Sudarsanan to finish what he started. Royal Strikers require 7 runs to win off the final over!
