That will be all from this close game between Tallinn Strikers and Tallinn Hippos which was won by the former. Thanks a lot for tuning in. Until next time, this is the duo of Mohul and Rajarshi signing off!
Despite Stuart Hook and Steffan Gooch's best attempts to chase this target down, Tallinn Hippos were not able to do so as they lost their way midway through this innings.
The bowlers of Tallinn Strikers need to be commended for pitching the ball in the right areas and seldom giving away any room for their opponents to work with.
The bowlers of the Strikers also ensured that the batters of the Hippos could not quite use their feet and had to remain stuck to the crease. The Hippos will be proud of the effort they showed here, and will want to take confidence from this outing to their next one.
The Strikers, however, continue on their fabulous run in this competition and will be extremely pleased with the result here.

9.6 Ashraful Shuvo to Rudesh Sekaran, RUN OUT TO FINISH! Full, on the pads, the ball travels towards square leg off Sekaran's pad as he looked to flick. Sekaran was ambling towards the other end, seemed like he had no intention of completing a run, and was subsequently run out as the bowler gathered the throw and had the bails off. The Strikers prevail by 41 runs!

8.6 Belayet Khan to Aditya Savio, on a length around off, Savio swings across its line and misses. The players appeal for an LBW but to no avail

Aditya Savio, RHB, is the new batter.
8.4 Belayet Khan to Marko Vaik, TAKEN! Pitched up just outside off, Vaik looked to go downtown but could only hoist this up towards mid on. The fielder runs in from the deep, not the best of catching techniques but he catches this!
