That will be all from from Milan Cricket Ground for now. But do join us for the next match by switching tabs as the action begins in just a few minutes. This is the pair of Soorya and Bidipto, saying good bye. Keep following Sportskeeda!
Albano had to keep pressing for runs and not let the asking rate get too high. But with only 2 runs scored off the first over, they did not set the right example in the run chase. Even if they did go ahead of the asking rate during the middle, one bad over finished things off for them in the end!
Cricket Stars misfielded, dropped a catch, bowled a few wides too many but even after all these, Albano could not score a decent amount of runs with the bat. Arvind Kumar, Monu Lal and Ibna Hossain tried to get things moving along as per requirement but could not carry things forward the way they would have liked.
Rajmani Sandhu might not have done much with the bat but took a tremendous catch in the deep and three wickets in one over to change the complexion of the game! His 9th over proved to be the difference.
With this loss, it is confirmed that Albano will stay at the bottom of the table. Cricket Stars will be happy to have got this win. It's their last day in the tournament, so this victory will taste sweet for sure.

9.6 Jabrar Afzal to Bharti Bangar, pitched up on middle and off stump. Bangar sits low and guides his drive through the covers for a single. Somehow, Albani fail to overhaul the target as they lose their way at the death. What a comeback though by the Cricket Stars, who storm back to win by 7 runs!
9.5 Jabrar Afzal to Hardeep Singh, dug short outside leg stump. Hardeep heaves a pull to deep mid-wicket and can only settle for a single. That should be the game!
Cricket Stars need 10 runs to win off 2 balls now!
9.4 Jabrar Afzal to Hardeep Singh, full length delivery at the stumps. Hardeep comes forward and mousses his swing to deep mid-wicket as it drops safely between the two fielders. One of them tumbles forward but can't collect it cleanly as his colleague tidies up, even as the batters complete the second
9.3 Jabrar Afzal to Bharti Bangar, very full around leg stump. Bangar clears his front leg and drags it to long on for yet another single. It's slipping out of hand now!
9.2 Jabrar Afzal to Hardeep Singh, full length delivery at the stumps. Hardeep sits low to slog it powerfully along the carpet to long on. The big shots have to come now!
9.1 Jabrar Afzal to Bharti Bangar, full in length on middle and leg stump. Bangar makes room to pat it into the covers for a solitary run
So, we are down to the last over of the match! 15 runs to get in 6 balls! What an over from Rajmani turn things in favour of Cricket Stars! It's about keeping things tight and being disciplined for the bowling side.

8.6 Rajmani Sandhu to Bharti Bangar, full length delivery just outside the off stump from around the wicket. Bangar pushes it down to long on and settles for a lone run
Bharti Bangar, LHB, is at the crease.
8.5 Rajmani Sandhu to Ibna Hossain, APPEAL AND GIVEN! THREE IN THE OVER! Angles a low full toss into the batter around the off stump. Ibna stands tall attempting to pick it up and over mid-wicket but plays all around it. The impact is the only question here as it would have certainly gone on to crash into the stumps. The umpire has had his say though and that's all that matters!

8.4 Rajmani Sandhu to Hardeep Singh, low full toss on middle and leg stump from around the wicket. Hardeep picks it up with a swing to deep mid-wicket for one
Hat-trick ball!
Hardeep Singh, LHB, is at the crease.
8.3 Rajmani Sandhu to Ajay Kumar, DRAGGED ON! Two in two for Sandhu! Angles back in off a back of a length radar outside the off stump. Ajay holds his ground and prods at it with a slightly open face, only to play it back onto his stumps as Sandhu lets out a huge roar. He's on a hat-trick and the Stars are right back in this!
Ajay Kumar b Rajmani Sandhu 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6)
Ajay Kumar, RHB, is at the crease.
8.2 Rajmani Sandhu to Arvind Kumar, GONE! Full length delivery outside the off stump. Arvind clears his front leg and throws everything at it but alas, fails to middle this one. Hits the outer splice and flies to backward point who gobbles it up without a fuss. Is this the turning point in the contest?
