Ariana CC - 76/9 in 10 overs (Zamin Zazai 35 off 17 balls, Umar Nawaz 4/4 in 2 overs) beat Evergreen - 74/9 in 10 overs (Umar Nawaz 26 off 18 balls, Absar Khan 2/10 in 2 overs) by 2 runs to win the Bronze Final.
This was a finish worthy of the final! Sadly, these two teams will have to watch Malmohus and Jonkoping lock horns in the grand final! But what a match, what a finish and what a great piece of bowling right through from start to finish from Ariana CC!
Absar Khan, Norullah Mohammad and Baz Ayubi took 2 wickets each while Hamed Arabzai, Yusuf Sahak and Zamin Zazai took a wicket each to peg the Evergreen batting back big time!
Umar Nawaz was the only batter trying to make something happen but he struggled with his timing today, and the rest of the batting was sorry-looking, making what was an easy run chase, impossible in the end!
Now it is down to the final, and we at Sportskeeda will cover it for you in just a bit! For now, this is the pair of Pradeep and Bidipto, saying good bye!

9.6 Yusuf Sahak to Muhammad Qadeer, THEY JUST GET A SINGLE! Ariana win the bronze final, they finish third in this season, Evergreen will be disappointed that they didn't get through the small target. Length delivery on the outside off, Qadeer doesn't get the connection right, down to third-man for only a single.
9.5 Yusuf Sahak to Abdullah Muhammad, low full toss on the pads, Abdullah on the backfoot clips it to deep mid-wicket for just a single. Need a boundary to finish things off, can Qadeer get that?
9.4 Yusuf Sahak to Muhammad Qadeer, length delivery on the outside off, Qadeer on the backfoot whacks it down to long-off for just a single. Evergreen desperately need a boundary!
9.3 Yusuf Sahak to Muhammad Qadeer, back of a length on the middle and leg, Qadeer on the backfoot fails to get it away, takes the blow on the body.
9.2 Yusuf Sahak to Muhammad Qadeer, FOUR! Back of a length on the outside off, Qadeer on the backfoot pushes it with nice timing on it, the fielder in pursuit parry's it back at the last second, they come back for a brace however, the umpire confirms and the fielder was in contact with the ropes, signaled a boundary!
Muhammad Qadeer, LHB, is at the crease.
9.1 Yusuf Sahak to Shahid Sarwar, OUT! GOES UP IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Another one bites the dust, Evergreen losing their way and the wheels are coming off. Length delivery on the off-stump, Shahid skips down the track to swing hard but he's skied it and Bashir at extra-cover settles under it to pouch.
Shahid Sarwar c Bashir Ahmed b Yusuf Sahak 9 (9)
Aftab Mohammad, RHB, is at the crease.
Evergreen need a couple of couples now, or at least a boundary to ease the nerves. A run a ball in the last over will not do for them. But one will have to say, that Ariana are favourites now!

8.5 Zamin Zazai to Shahid Sarwar, takes the pace off, short on the off-stump, Shahid walks down the track, waits for it and pulls it to long-on for one more.
8.4 Zamin Zazai to Imran Kiyani, length delivery on the off-stump, Kiyani miscued it down to long-off, it falls safely as they pick up a single.
8.3 Zamin Zazai to Shahid Sarwar, OH! Hit powerfully but the long-off fielder comes around quickly to keep it to a single. Full on the off-stump, Shahid thumps it away.
8.2 Zamin Zazai to Imran Kiyani, short on the outside off, Kiyani on the backfoot slaps it into the off-side for one more.
8.1 Zamin Zazai to Shahid Sarwar, back of a length on the off-stump, Shahid clears his front foot and drags it to mid-wicket for a single.
Zamin Zazai, right-arm medium, is in to bowl.
Evergreen do not need dot balls at this stage. A run a ball will do for them but dot balls will put more pressure now that the final few balls are approaching. Ariana can do well with as many dots as possible.
