This has been Pragadeesh and myself (Rishab) as we sign off for the moment then. More action coming your way as Monday is only getting started so do stay tuned to catch it all and much more. Have a great day!
Brescia CC managing to defend their total successfully in the end. It did not seem like they had too many on the board to play with but their bowlers responded to the challenge and delivered under pressure. They bowled well in the powerplay, but Janjua Brescia under pressure and just did not let them comeback in the game thereafter. Their bowlers did well to pick wickets all the way through and they will be pleased with this performance after the way their batting innings ended.
Janjua Brescia's batters failing to come good as a lot of them got starts but failed to stay out there for ling enough to take them over the line. They could not get partnerships going and take the attack to the bowling as they needed to. Their bowlers did exceptionally well to bring them back in the game but their batters found the going difficult against some real quality bowling from Brescia CC.
Brescia CC off to a winning start then. They will look to carry the moment forward as Janjua Brescia need to come back strong. Their bowling is a positive to take away but the batting is something that they will have to work on from here!
Done and dusted with that. A brilliant final over from Imran and Brescia CC have bowled well in these death overs to wrap this game up. Not a big score but they have successfully defended it and win this contest by 15 runs in the end!
