Match summary:
CC Akademik Sofia win by 10 wickets with 30 balls to spare
Bashrat Hussain | Huzaif Yousuf 1/9 (1) Amal Thomas 34 (37)
This sure was a walk in the park for CC Akademik Sofia. Bashrat Hussain gathered hold of the chase, and clubbed some really, really ordinary bowling from VTU MU Pleven bowlers to the boundary. Lachie McMillan, having tried and not been as successful as striking the ball as well as his opening partner proceeded to take a backseat and witness the carnage on show from Bashrat.
McMillan, though, got to hit the winning runs - it seemed like Joseph wouldn't let him do so, leaking all the runs in extras. It was synonymous to the bowling performance from the Pleven bowlers. Not a single six was hit throughout the game, though - the CCAS openers didn't need one, though - they take all the points with plenty of time to spare.

4.6 Jain Joseph to Bashrat Hussain, a NO BALL once again for the ball landing outside the cut strip on the off-side.

4.3 Jain Joseph to Bashrat Hussain, no run.
4.3 Jain Joseph to Bashrat Hussain, WIDE ball yet again on this occasion! Time to reload.

4.1 Jain Joseph to Bashrat Hussain, short around off-stump. Cut to deep backward point off the back foot. And an overthrow to the bowler's end gives two runs away!
Jain Joseph, slow left-arm, comes into the attack
Krishna tried his luck by dropping it short, forcing Hussain to hit him off his back foot. There was a chance, though - the fielder at point let it go through his palms.

3.4 Anandhu Krishna to Bashrat Hussain, short and too WIDE outside the line of off-stump! Time to reload.
