Swieqi United beat Marsa by 10 wickets!
Anil Qadir 55* (24) | Muhammad Ajmal 1/17 Vibhor Yadav 42* (22) and 1/15
Swieqi United coasted to a comfortable win over Marsa, and made it seventeen wins in a row for themselves. This was a stupendous performance by them both with the bat and ball, and they can be extremely proud of themselves for the efforts that they have shown.
This game will open the eyes of Marsa, who came into it on the back of a tremendous win over Gozo and felt confident enough of taking Swieqi United on. Not to be. United were a class apart, and they showed it, either with the ball or bat in hand.
Muhammad Ajmal was fabulous with the ball and made sure that the batters of Marsa did not get too many freebies. With the bat in hand, openers Vibhor Yadav and Anil Qadir made light work of the target set by Marsa, and this will give them a lot of confidence. This was a rather one-sided contest, but one that United won purely on the basis of merit.
7.2 Nowell Khosla to Vibhor Yadav, SIX! FINISHES IT IN STYLE! 17 out of 17 for Swieqi United! Half-tracker on off stump and it's too easy for Vibhor as he rocks back to plunder it over the mid-wicket fence. Brings up the 100-run stand for the opening wicket as well and it completes an annihilation of some kind. Swieqi United beat Marsa CC by 10 wickets with 16 deliveries to spare!
7.1 Nowell Khosla to Anil Qadir, width on a back of a length radar. Qadir opens the face and dabs it to short third man for one
Skipper Nowell Khosla, right arm medium, comes into the attack himself.
Marsa are not doing themselves any favours by dropping the chances that are coming their way. Just four runs to win now- United are almost there!

6.6 David Athwal to Vibhor Yadav, SIX! Getting over in a flash now! Tossed up full at the stumps and Vibhor transfers weight forward upon standing tall to launch it down the ground. Sends it soaring over long on for a maximum
6.5 David Athwal to Anil Qadir, SKIED...AND DROPPED AGAIN! It's infectious now! Slower length delivery outside the off stump as Qadir clears his front leg and swings like a rusty gate. Balloons it high into the sky as the bowler moves to his left and makes a terrible mess of it with a juggling act
6.4 David Athwal to Vibhor Yadav, back of a length delivery with width outside the off stump. Vibhor rocks back to flat-bat it to long off along the carpet
6.3 David Athwal to Vibhor Yadav, short and wide of off stump. Inside the tramline but Vibhor lets it pass to the keeper
6.2 David Athwal to Anil Qadir, spills it down the leg-side as Qadir helps it on its way with a swipe to the right of deep backward square leg. Just a single!
6.1 David Athwal to Anil Qadir, SIX! FIFTY FOR QADIR! What an innings this has been! Tossed up into a length on middle stump and he clears his front leg to power it over mid-wicket. Goes sailing over the mid-wicket fence and this has been a stupendous knock!
David Athwal, right arm off break, comes into the attack.
Just a matter of time now! Marsa can try to introduce the slower bowlers into this attack, which might hold United back a little. This will, however, only buy them some time. Yadav and Qadir are on a rampage!

0/24
5.6 Arslan Arshad to Anil Qadir, MISFIELD AGAIN! Not a costly one for a change - very full and tailing into middle and leg stump. Qadir makes room and jams it out towards long off who overruns it. It'll remain a single though
5.5 Arslan Arshad to Vibhor Yadav, back of a length delivery with plenty of width on offer. Vibhor stands tall and cuts firmly to deep point
5.4 Arslan Arshad to Anil Qadir, short in length outside the off stump. Qadir hangs back and swats it to deep mid-wicket for another single
5.3 Arslan Arshad to Vibhor Yadav, slants a full one into middle and leg stump. Vibhor gets behind it and whips it to deep square leg for a run
5.2 Arslan Arshad to Vibhor Yadav, full outside the off stump. Vibhor dinks it out into the leg-side, no run
