WHAT.A.MATCH! Transylvania had no business to make this an edge-of-the-seat thriller but Keshav's dragged them back into the contest with an entertaining cameo. He was the reason why Transylvania came close but it's unfortunate that he faced just a single delivery in the final over. Kaveesha Devinda held his nerve and bowled superbly well to help Zinitis taste success for the first time in this tournament
Appari and Warsi fell cheaply but Sunar played some scintillating shots early on. His partnership with Kishore looked good but still, they were well behind the asking rate. It seemed impossible for Transylvania until the penultimate over but Keshav slammed Asanka for four maximums to reduce the equation from 12 to 6 deliveries.
Devinda bowled a crunch final over and he conceded a boundary in the first ball but the comeback was nothing short of excellence. The main reason behind the win was that Keshav was kept off strike for the majority of the over
