Cyprus Knight Riders beat Sher-e-Punjab by 12 runs
What a rollercoaster ride that was! We had some thrilling twists and turns in that chase. The vicissitudes of the entire innings can perhaps be summed up in the way Md Rasel went about his business. He was the vilian at one point but became the hero towards the end. Having put two regulation catches down, Rasel was at the receiving end of the frustration of his mates.
But he came back to bowl a magnificent 9th over. He conceded only 4 runs of it and picked up 3 wickets to turn the match on its head. For Sher-e-Punjab, a handful of batters got a start but none could go on to convert it into a big score.
How much did Preetaj Deol getting retired hurt cost them? Guess we will never know. But as they say, there is no space for "couldas, wouldas and shouldas" in sport.

Iftekar Jaman
1/23
9.6 Iftekar Jaman to Rajwinder Brar, slower ball. The batter tries to throw the kitchen sink at it. He is through with the shot before the ball even arrives.
9.6 Iftekar Jaman to Rajwinder Brar, wide down the leg side. Don't tell me there's another twist here!
9.5 Iftekar Jaman to Rajwinder Brar STREAKY FOUR!! Flies off the outside edge down to third man and gets him a boundary.
9.4 Iftekar Jaman to Vikram Verma, looks to do the same. But the length was pulled back and he can only manage to get it down to long on for a single.
9.3 Iftekar Jaman to Vikram Verma, SIX!! The game is not done yet perhaps. Verma has deployed the golf swing and send this one sailing over long on.
9.3 Iftekar Jaman to Vikram Verma, wide outside off. They need 25 runs to win now.
9.2 Iftekar Jaman to Vikram Verma, swing and a miss again. Time is running out.
9.1 Iftekar Jaman to Vikram Verma, length ball. The batter opens up his stance and looks to whack it hard on the leg side. Misses.
New batter in is skipper Rajwinder Brar, RHB.

8.6 Md Rasel to Lovedeep Sandhu, OUT! Rasel is a hero. Full and straight. The batter misses the glance and is wrapped in front. The umpire had no qualms about raising his finger. Lovedeep Sandhu lbw b Md Rasel 26 (12b, 4x4, 1x6)
