Thanks for joining us- Mohul Bhowmick and Sooryanaryanan Sesha- for this exciting, yet lopsided game of cricket in the ECS. There is more ECS action coming your way in about twenty minutes time, so hop tabs to follow that. Until next time, goodbye and take care!
As was expected, Austrian Daredevils failed to live up the hype created by their ardent supporters residing all across the country. They could not quite come to terms with the quality of bowling on offer by Donaustadt, and ended up conceding a meagre victory to their opponents.
The Daredevils will be extremely disappointed with their showing here, and look to pull their socks up. Although Buset Omari and Shawkat Zadran tried to set things straight towards the latter half of the innings, they did not receive any help from the other batters in the side.
Donaustadt relied heavily upon spin in this game, and were paid rich dividends by the likes of Aman Ahmadzai and Osman Khan. Sahel Zadran, however, was the pick of all the bowlers. This win will give Donaustadt a lot of confidence, coming as it does on the back of a stellar performance over Graz Cricket Academy earlier in the day.

9.6 Ishaq Safi to Buset Omari, just a single off the final delivery and that is that for this contest. A thoroughly professional defense from Donaustadt and the Daredevils fall comfortably short. Donaustadt win by 41 runs!
Ajmal Oryakhil, RHB, is the new batter.
9.5 Ishaq Safi to Buset Omari, RUN OUT! Angles a good length delivery into the batter as Omari tucks it around the corner off his pads. Rolls to the keeper's left as Abed takes off, only to turn back as the throw comes towards the bowler who then does the rest. Sums up the chase for the Daredevils!
Shahed Abed run out (Asif Zazai/Ishaq Safi) 2 (2b 0x4 0x6)
9.4 Ishaq Safi to Buset Omari, bangs it into the track outside the off stump. Omari stands tall and has a wild hack at it before he's undone by the extra bounce that beats him
9.3 Ishaq Safi to Buset Omari, short of a length at the stumps. Tucks Omari for room as he clears his front foot and attempts a pull. Goes awry though as he wears it high on his body
9.2 Ishaq Safi to Buset Omari, SIX! PERHAPS THAT'S WHY! Incredible improv from Omari as he shuffles across his stumps with Safi going full on leg stump. Out comes the ramp as he places it over the long leg region for six
9.1 Ishaq Safi to Buset Omari, very full and tailing into the off stump. Omari clears his front foot and squeezes it out off his bottom hand to long on. No single taken though!
Ishaq Safi [1-0-19-0] will bowl the final over.
Right then, just one over to go. The Daredevils have just not been at the races today. Omari is still trying to play a lone hand here.

8.6 Sahel Zadran to Shahed Abed, back of a length delivery just around the off stump. Abed backs away and slashes hard but the ball zips through quickly to beat him
8.5 Sahel Zadran to Shahed Abed, worked away square of the wicket and through the point region for a couple of runs.
Shahed Abed, LHB, is the new batter.
8.4 Sahel Zadran to Walilullah Mandozai, EDGED! WHAT A CATCH! Oh if only Sahel had bowled this instead on the previous occasion. Good length delivery just nipping away in the channel as Mandozai has a poke at it from his crease. The edge flies to the right of the keeper who pulls off a superb diving catch before letting out a huge roar in celebration!
Waliullah Mandozai c Asif Zazai b Sahel Zadran 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
8.4 Sahel Zadran to Walilullah Mandozai, WIDE! Spears a full one down the leg-side and it's an anticlimax off the hat-trick delivery!
Waliullah Mandozai, RHB, is the new batter.
8.3 Sahel Zadran to Naqi Jaffry, BOWLS HIM! A cracking delivery as Sahel goes very full at the stumps. Jaffry swings with gay abandon but is too early on the shot, only to see the ball flatten the stumps behind him. Sahel is on a hat-trick now!
Naqi Jaffry c Asif Zazai b Sahel Zadran 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
