What a thrilling win for Hungary. They seal the game off the last ball. However, have to say that was poor work from Czech Republic as there was no fielder to collect the throw at the non-striker's end with Zahir Safi having almost given up. Chasing 129 for victory, Hungary had a very similar start to Czech Republic as they mustered 19/1 off the first three overs. Thereafter, the duo of Zeeshan Kukikhel and Ashrith Darapureddy flicked the switch with 18 runs coming off the fourth over. Hungary got another big over with Tripurari Kanhya Lal leaking 24 runs.

Czech Republic didn't help themselves in the field either with Ashrith and Zeeshan being dropped off consecutive deliveries courtesy Neeraj Tyagi's bowling. Zeeshan did depart in the next over but Zahir Safi came in and continued seamlessly. The pressure still built on Hungary as they required 31 off the last two overs. However, Ashrith eased it completely by helping his team get 22 runs off the penultimate over bowled by Sazib Bhuiyan.

Zahir Safi opened the final over with a maximum followed by a couple of singles but he played two dot ball to take the game to the final ball. This is when Czech Republic's lack of game awareness cost them dearly!

9.6 Sudesh Wickramasekara to Zahir Safi, HUNGARY WIN! Short around off-stump. Punched to short extra cover off the back foot. They run for their lives to complete the single. The throw does come it to the bowler's end but there is no one there to collect it and whips the bails off! There is no direct hit and Hungary get the much needed single to take the match!

9.5 Sudesh Wickramasekara to Zahir Safi, OH! Good length ball on middle-and-leg. Another swing and a miss across the line! No run. One to get off one ball!

9.4 Sudesh Wickramasekara to Zahir Safi, short outside off-stump. A swing with the horizontal bat on the back foot and a miss! Dot ball.

9.3 Sudesh Wickramasekara to Ashrith Darapureddy, good length ball on off-stump. Defended off the front foot to silly mid-off and the take a quick single!

9.2 Sudesh Wickramasekara to Zahir Safi, fuller on middle-stump. Smashed out to deep square-leg from the back foot for a single.

9.1 Sudesh Wickramasekara to Zahir Safi, SIX RUNS! Length ball on off-stump. Safi clears the front leg and dismisses it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum!

Sudesh Wickramasekara, is into the attack

What a stunning knock this is turning out to be. Ashrith Darapureddy has turned the equation into Hungary's favour now. They need nine off the last six balls

8.5 Sazib Bhuiyan to Ashrith Darapureddy, SIX MORE! Good length ball outside off-stump. Clobbered over deep square-leg from the middle of the bat!

8.5 Sazib Bhuiyan to Ashrith Darapureddy, WIDE outside the line of off-stump on this occasion! Will have to reload here.

8.4 Sazib Bhuiyan to Ashrith Darapureddy, SIX RUNS! Full and wide outside off-stump. Slapped over deep cover from the back foot away from the body!

8.3 Sazib Bhuiyan to Ashrith Darapureddy, full outside off-stump. A big swing through the line and a big miss! The bat flies out of the hands to square-leg! No run.

8.2 Sazib Bhuiyan to Zahir Safi, full on off-stump. Drilled out to long-on from the block hole for a single.

8.1 Sazib Bhuiyan to Zahir Safi, FOUR! Full and wide outside off-stump. Clubbed away from the back foot to deep cover for a boundary!

Crucial boundary to end the over while Ashrith Darapureddy also gets to his fifty off 21 balls. Hungary are still the underdogs here as they need 31 off 12 balls
