Right then, Pleven will be pretty pleased with their effort with the ball. Black Smiths started off well in the chase but after that first over, they couldn't quite get going as they would have liked to, leaving to much to do for the end despite having wickets in hand. They could probably have shown better intent in this chase, eventually falling short even though they had all wickets in hand.
Pleven were under pressure as we did think the runs might not be enough. However, they came back well after the opening over, ensured that they kept things tight and in the end, defended the total successfully as their captain did the job with the ball to finish things off nicely for them. Their first win with that and they will be happy.
A shortened game but nonetheless, we have had action and that is all we have from this encounter then. Hopefully, more cricket to come if the weather stays in favor. For the moment, this is Bidipto and Rishab signing off. Stay tuned as we return for more shortly!
A brilliant final over from skipper Akshay to take his side Pleven to their first win here. They have done well despite not picking wickets to keep the runs down and go on to wrap up this game by 7 runs then. Black Smiths will be disappointed to have let this go to the end this way!

This has been a tidy over from Mohammad Arham, crucial at this stage and Black Smiths have just let this go to the final over with probably more to get than what they would have liked. Pleven have done well in these middle overs to keep themselves in the game. Down to the last six then, 14 needed. Who are you backing folks?
