Match summary:
Fighters CC win by 6 wickets with 15 balls to spare
It took them quite a while to get to their target, but the Fighters CC creep past the finish line eventually. They had their fair share of hiccups though - a win seemed a touch distant once they lost four wickets, and one of those wickets came along in a maiden over. But the duo of Rahul and Muhammad Bilal saw them get past the line with plenty of time to spare.
They did make a belated effort to get that bonus point, but there was too much to do for Bilal. The Fighters CC began sedately, but a couple of blows from Varinder Virk made things interesting the next over. Virk perished right after, though, and then, there was a middle-order collapse of sorts. Harjot Sahota clubbed a couple as well, and all that ensured the Fighters CC were safe even after the brief collapse.
7.3 Abujar Liton to Muhammad Bilal, FOUR! Bilal finishes it off with a boundary. On a fullish-length a shade outside off, an ugly hoick across the line, ends up getting a top edge which trickles away to the third man fence.
7.2 Abujar Liton to Rahul, back of a length delivery outside off, Rahul slashes at that and the deep cover-point fielder drops it.
7.1 Abujar Liton to Muhammad Bilal, swings away the fuller one around middle, towards the midwicket region for a single.
They don't get the bonus point, but the Fighters CC inch very close to a win. They'll sure be content with the three points.

6.6 Ujjval Kansal to Muhammad Bilal, slower fullish-length delivery outside off, swung away from the inside half of the bat, down toards widish long-on and takes a single.
6.5 Ujjval Kansal to Muhammad Bilal, FOUR! Back of a length delivery outside off, Bilal throws his hands at that and ends up getting a top edge which flies over the keeper's head and trickles away to the fence.
6.4 Ujjval Kansal to Muhammad Bilal, FOUR! On a fullish-length angling into Bilal, swung across the line and gets it away from the inside half of the bat past the square leg region and finds the boundary.
6.3 Ujjval Kansal to Rahul, glides away the length delivery a shade outside off, towards the third man region for a single.
6.2 Ujjval Kansal to Rahul, short of a length delivery outside off, slashed hard but misses. The umpire doesn't call it a wide.
6.1 Ujjval Kansal to Muhammad Bilal, on a length around the pads, worked away towards the square leg region for a single.
Ujjval Kansal, slow right-arm, comes into the attack
17 needed off one over for that bonus point. Three good hits will seal it, but with the course of proceedings today, that seems a touch unlikely.

Kieron Kandel
1/13
5.6 Kieron Kandel to Rahul, on a fullish-length angling across off, Rahul throws his bat at that without making any contact.
5.5 Kieron Kandel to Rahul, FOUR! That was a low full toss outside off, Rahul makes some room and thrashes it away past the extra cover region and finds the boundary.
5.5 Kieron Kandel to Muhammad Bilal, short and wide down the leg side, Bilal gets inside the line of the ball and tries to pump it over fine, misses and it evades the keeper and an extra run taken.
5.4 Kieron Kandel to Muhammad Bilal, FOUR! That's beautifully driven away for a boundary. An overpitched delivery a shade outside off, a delightful cover drive all along the deck and the widish long off fielder had no chance whatsoever.
