Indo-Bulgarian CC have scored over 150 in the last two games, their batting is on a rampage and the toothless bowling attack of Barbarian CC has a humonguous task in front of itself. Chances of another 150+ score are extremely high, unless Barbarian CC bat first and get folded under 100.

Venue Details and Pitch Report
10 Sep, 08:00 PM IST
National Sports Academy Vasil Levski, Sofia, Sofia
The pitch here in Sofia is a batting paradise where the batsmen have the utmost authority to hit through the line. With true bounce available on the pitch, the batsmen can trust the length every single time. Scores of 150+ have been a regular feature and the bowlers have been running from pillar to post, hoping to catch a break.
According to Accuweather, there will be plenty of sunshine today and the maximum temperature will be 27 degree celsius with no chance of rain. Unlike the Rome leg, the rain-gods will stay away in Bulgaria.

Going by Indo-Bulgarian side's previous matches, this seems like a contest alreday in their bag, unless Barbarian CC by some divine intervention play out of their skins and churn up a miracle.
And that is a wrap to a one-sided game, IBCC win by a 129 runs!!. Winning the toss and electing to bat first IBCC were off to a flying start and that kept in ticking. Indo Bulgarian CC score 178/2 in their 10 overs. Two wickets is all the bowling side was able, and those game of the last two balls. Tahiri was in top-class form in the last game scoring a 99 and yet again he scored in the 90s putting 92 runs to his name. His partner Lakov played a great knock and supported the side that continued to dominate the innings.
In the chase, Barbarian CC were never there. They started slow and struggled all along, losing wickets almost every over and at the halfway mark they were practically out of the game. The BCC did not even manage to cross the 50 mark, ending at 49 for the loss of seven wickets. And with this the IBCC domination continues as we move into the business end of the tournament tomorrow.
That is all we have from this live-action, hope you enjoyed the coverage. Do stay tuned as we keep bringing you live updates from different leagues across the world. This is Azhar along with my colleague Farzan signing off. Take Care
