Fighters CC 113/3 in 9.5 overs Varinder Virk 55*(31) | Kashi Ram 2/14 Rahul 25(14) | Gurpreet Singh 1/27
Fighters CC have won with one ball to spare in the end and the game went a lot closer than it should have. The Werewolves fought back really hard and almost managed to pull off a miracle but they had conceded far too many runs at the beginning of the innings and 113 wasn't the best of totals to defend.
The opening partnership stole the show for the Fighters CC as the two openers Virk and Rahul put on 87 runs for the first wicket. While Rahul played second fiddle, Virk went all guns blazing in the powerplay and scored a well compiled 50 in just 25 balls. They lost a couple of wickets in the middle and it required Parminder Singh to come towards the end and play a blitzkrieg cameo of 21 runs from just 7 balls.
The bowlers struggled to get a breakthrough for the greater part of the innings but it was Kashi Ram who cracked the game wide open with his spell where he got two wickets. Rohit Singh was fantastic in the powerplay too as he gave away only 13 runs from his two openers. Gurpreet Singh picked up a wicket but he was far too expensive towards the end.
9.5 Rajbir Singh to Harjot Sahota, FIGHTERS CC GET THE WIN! Slightly short on off-and-middle. Pulled around to deep mid-wicket off the back foot for a single to knock off the winning run.
9.4 Rajbir Singh to Parwinder Singh, DROPPED! Full toss on off-stump. Hammered straight to the left of deep mid-wicket off the front foot. But the fielder there puts it down and gives away a single. Scores level.
9.3 Rajbir Singh to Parwinder Singh, AH! Good length slower ball on off-stump. A big heave attempted over mid-wicket from the front foot for a swing and a miss!
9.2 Rajbir Singh to Parwinder Singh, full and wide outside off-stump. A swing and a miss across the line away from the body! No run.
9.1 Rajbir Singh to Harjot Sahota, full toss around off-stump. Thumped off the back foot to the left of the straight long-off fielder for a single only.
Rajbir Singh [1.0-0-18-0] comes back into the attack. Parwinder Singh, LHB, is the new batter.
WOW!!! Parminder Singh does get out on the final ball of the penultimate over but not before he hammered three maximums and almost sealed the game for his side! The Fighters CC need just three runs to win from the final over now.

8.6 Gurpreet Singh to Parminder Singh, WICKET! Hard length ball on off-and-middle. This takes the shoulder of the bat off the attempted pull shot and lands in the safe hands of mid-wicket on the full!
8.5 Gurpreet Singh to Parminder Singh, OH DEAR! Good length ball around off-stump. Lofted over the in-field among three fielders at deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs in the end!
8.4 Gurpreet Singh to Parminder Singh, SIX! Length ball again on off-stump. Slammed over the long-on area from the back foot on the up!
8.3 Gurpreet Singh to Parminder Singh, SIX MORE! Length ball around off-stump. Parminder stays deep in the crease and clobbers it way over deep mid-wicket for a maximum!
8.2 Gurpreet Singh to Parminder Singh, SIX RUNS! Short on leg-stump. Pulled away over fine-leg off the back foot with the top hand!
8.1 Gurpreet Singh to Harjot Sahota, back of a length around off-stump. Slapped over the in-field down to long-off for a single.
Huge over from Kashi Ram in the context of the game as he gave away only three runs from it and picked up both the openers! The Fighters CC are loosing their way here having done all the hard work early on. They need 24 runs from the final two overs and it's game on here.

7.6 Kashi Ram to Harjot Sahota, full on off-stump. Stroked away to the extra cover area from the crease for a single only.
Harjot Sahota, LHB, comes to the crease.
7.5 Kashi Ram to Rahul, GONE! Length ball around off-stump. Rahul goes for a big shot over mid-on after clearing the front leg. But all he does is top edge it for long-off to settle under it and complete the catch!
