Ahmad Nabi 63 (19) | Carson McCullough 2/29 Carson McCullough 69 (22) | Muhammad Rafah 2/19
CIYMS, at the halfway stage of this chase, had a score identical to that of Druex in the first innings. But then, it were two brilliant overs back to back that derailed their chase. First from Muhammad Rafah and then one from Wahid Abdul.
CIYMS scored only 18 runs in those two overs and lost two back to back wickets. They never really recovered from it. McCullough had a good game with both bat and ball and Max Burton hit a flurry of boundaries towards the end.
Though, it only helped CIYMS reduce the margin of defeat. With their 3rd loss in 4 games, the Irish club is now languishing in the bottom half of the points table.

9.6 Tabish Bhatti to Max Burton, SIX RUNS TO FINISH! BUT DREUX GET THE JOB DONE! Length again on off-and-middle. Whacked away well over deep mid-wicket here too from deep in the crease and this lands in the trees beyond the boundary!
9.5 Tabish Bhatti to Max Burton, SIX MORE! Good length ball on off-and-middle. Hoisted well over wide long-on off the front foot for a huge one!
9.4 Tabish Bhatti to Max Burton, FOUR AGAIN! Back of a length on middle-stump. Hammered flat and off the back foot. Deep mid-wicket puts the catch down and gives away a boundary!
9.3 Tabish Bhatti to Max Burton, FOUR MORE! Good length ball around off-stump. A big heave across the line but an outside edge taken that goes down to third man for a boundary!
9.2 Tabish Bhatti to Max Burton, SIX RUNS! Length all around off-stump. Smacked well over long-off off the front foot for a maximum!
9.1 Tabish Bhatti to Max Burton, FOUR RUNS!
Tabish Bhatti [1-0-22-0] to bowl. Mark Best, LHB, is the new batter.
The game is all but done and dusted. Though, I have seen before a 45 run over on the European Cricket Network. So there is a small chance. Anyhow, from the perspective of net run rate, the next over is crucial for CIYMS.

8.6 Hamza Saleem Dar to Allen Coulter, BOWLED HIM! Full and straight and right up in the block hole too. Coulter backs away and misses, the ball crashes into the base of middle-and-off!
8.5 Hamza Saleem Dar to Max Burton, slow and full around off-stump. Drilled out to long-on from the back foot for a single only!
8.4 Hamza Saleem Dar to Max Burton, FOUR RUNS! Good length ball on middle-stump. Hoicked around to the long-leg area lying vacant for a boundary!
8.3 Hamza Saleem Dar to Allen Coulter, yorker on leg-stump. Dug out to the point area from deep in the crease for a single.
8.2 Hamza Saleem Dar to Allen Coulter, good length slower ball around off-stump. A big swing across the line and a miss! No run here.
8.1 Hamza Saleem Dar to Max Burton, full toss on off-stump. A mistimed hoick down to long-on from the front foot for a single only.
Hamza Saleem Dar [1-0-15-0] is back to bowl.
Important wicket for McCullough coming in that over. Definitely Druex's game to lose from here on.
