Falco are just short of equalling the target chased in the lowest overs in ECS history. They dominated things right from the word go, with Zeeshan and Sheraz setting things up in the powerplay with early breakthroughs. This massive win turns out to be a big boost and Falco will be heading into the rest of the matches with confidence. Not much for the players to sweat on the field, and with this, my fellow commentator Maanas and me (Pragadeesh) are going to take off, for now, hoping the other two matches will provide some entertainment for the fans.
3.4 Manpreet Singh to Adeel Sarwar, SIX! BANG! That will finish up proceedings! Length ball on the off stump, sits up nicely for Sarwar who sends that packing over the mid-wicket region for a huge maximum! Second fastest chase in ECS history!
3.3 Manpreet Singh to Adeel Sarwar, FOUR! DROPPED! Length ball on the middle stump, Sarwar swipes at it but cannot connect as well as he would have liked to. The ball goes through the hands of the fielder at deep mid-wicket and rolls over the ropes to add salt to the wounds
