Istanbul KSK won by 5 runs
Mecit Ozturk 53(28) | Kushaal Krishnakumar 32(24)
Zohaib Iqbal 2-15(2) | Kevin D'Souza 1-20(2)

It turned out to be a great match but the Istabul bowlers kept their composure under pressure to edge past the Spartans by 5 runs. The Spartans got off to a great start but they couldn't carry the momentum forward, once the field got spread, all thanks to some tight bowling from Iqbal and Ozberk.

The openers got dismissed in quick succession and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the Spartans as Sid Nair's arrival to the crease changed the complexion of the match. He went after the bowlers from the word go and dragged his team back into the contest. However, he got run out in an unfortunate way in the final over and that didn't help the team's cause.

It's a pretty close match and Iqbal's spell turned out to be a big difference for the Istanbul eventually. Alright! Two matches done, and three more to go. Switch tabs to find out the LIVE coverage of the third match, which is going to begin in exactly 15 minutes from now. Now, it's time to end the coverage, until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Bidipto signing off

9.6 Murad Ozbek to Kevin D'Souza, SIX RUNS BUT ISTANBUL KSK WIN! Good length ball on middle-stump. The batter advances down the track and pumps it over long-off for a maximum!

9.5 Murad Ozbek to Anu Saju, good length ball on middle-stump. Another mistimed pull shot to deep mid-wicket for a single only off the back foot!

9.4 Murad Ozbek to Kevin D'Souza, short on off-stump. The attempted pull shot on the back foot goes down to third man off the outside edge for a single only!

9.3 Murad Ozbek to Anu Saju, good length ball on off-stump. This is a mistimed smash over the in-field but down to long-on for a single.

9.2 Murad Ozbek to Anu Saju, SIX! Full and slanting across the right-hander. Slapped from the back foot well over deep cover for a maximum! 100 up for Sofia Spartans.

Anu Saju, RHB, walks in at no.5

9.1 Murad Ozbek to Sid Nair, RUN OUT! Fuller on off-and-middle. Dragged away to deep backward square-leg for a single. They try to come back for two but the good throw to the keeper and the quick dislodging of the bails cuts Nair's stay at the crease short!

Sid Nair run out (Ali Turkmen) 24 (9b, 1*4, 3*6)

Who is going to bowl the final over. Ozberk has the ball in hand. He bowled a superb first over, can he get the job done for his team?

GAME ON! It looked like Istanbul has full control in this match but Nair says it's not over until it's over. 22 needed in the final over

8.6 Mecit Ozturk to Kevin D'Souza, SIX MORE! Full and in the slot on middle-and-off. A handsome loft from deep in the crease over wide long-on for a maximum!

8.5 Mecit Ozturk to Sid Nair, good length ball on middle-stump. Worked away to deep square-leg for a single.

8.4 Mecit Ozturk to Sid Nair, FOUR! Full around off-stump. Driven through the covers off the front foot after making some room. It runs away to the boundary in the end.

8.3 Mecit Ozturk to Sid Nair, full and down the leg-side by following the batter. He swings and misses and then, the keeper takes it with the right-hand superbly!

8.2 Mecit Ozturk to Sid Nair, SIX RUNS! Full on off-stump. Thumped from the middle of the bat over wide long-on for a maximum by bending down!

8.1 Mecit Ozturk to Kevin D'Souza, full on off-stump. Squirted to cover off the front foot for a single only.

Mercit Ozturk comes back into the attack

The introduction of Iqbal made a big difference in this match. Yes, he conceded two maximums but he bowled superbly to push the batters on the back foot and eventually, removed both Spartans' openers
