Commentary

That's it for this match, folks! It's Rudransh and Pragadeesh signing off.

Team Europe win by seven wickets to keep the series alive!

Saqib Zulfiqar 89* (26) | Sikander Zulfiqar 2/20 (2)
Michael Leask 96* (31) | Julius Sumerauer 2/13 (2)

What a brilliant win this is. It was a do-or-die game and Team Europe conceded an above-par score. But thanks to their final couple of overs, it seemed like it could have been much worse and they prevented that with their skillful bowling and had some momentum to show for it.

Come the second innings, they lost both openers quite cheaply thanks to the accurate opening spells from Sumerauer and Gratewood. The innings had gone nowhere in the powerplay but Khan became the first to give it a bit of push. Saqib Zulfiqar then played one of an all-timer - a 26-ball 89 - to completely turn the tables on BIK. There was no stopping him and along with Damgaard, he brought the game back to parity at the end.

With 18 needed of six in the last over, BIK had no one but Hinley to trust upon and Zulfiqar continued his charge, making some really good fielders buckle under pressure, and got the job done with a ball to spare.

9.5 Tom Hinley to Saqib Zulfiqar, FOUR! What a victory for Team Europe. They were down but put up an impressive fight to outclass the Knights. Pitched up angling back, Zulfiqar heaves it in front of square and gets a boundary

9.4 Tom Hinley to Saqib Zulfiqar, FOUR! Sloppy effort. Angles the length delivery across off, Saqib cuts and it should've been a single but the fielder makes a meal of it.

9.3 Tom Hinley to Saqib Zulfiqar, FOUR! Angles the length delivery back, Saqib pulls it flat in front of square and the ball trickles to the fence. One hit away for Team Europe

9.2 Tom Hinley to Saqib Zulfiqar, SIX! Reaches for the length delivery and smashes it over deep cover for a maxi maximum

9.1 Tom Hinley to Saqib Zulfiqar, angles the length delivery across off-stump, Saqib swings and misses

Another brilliant over! 18 needed off six. Anything's possible here. You have to give so much credit to Damgaard as well. Generally the batter at the other end slows such games down but he has been so good. Zulfiqer has enjoyed the confidence from him.

8.4 Toby Greatwood to Nicolaj Damgaard, good length delivery angling back, pulled in front of square for a single

8.3 Toby Greatwood to Nicolaj Damgaard, SIX! Good length delivery angling back, Damgaard lifts it from the crease and sends it over cow corner for a maximum. Sheer bottom hand power in this shot

8.2 Toby Greatwood to Saqib Zulfiqer, low full toss dipping in, Saqib pushes it down the ground for a single

8.1 Toby Greatwood to Nicolaj Damgaard, off-pace delivery and it's been helped behind square for one

Toby Greatwood [1-0-20-1] comes back

Wow! What an over from Zulfiqer. His team just needs 34 to win in the last two overs. It's a massive game, a do-or-die for them and they are not giving up here. This has been some fight.
