A comprehensive victory for France in the end who have brushed aside the Hungarian challenge and have got off a to a victorious start in ECI France, 2024.
Chasing 176, Hungary never were never able to keep up with the required run rate as it kept climbing up at them, France bowled some tight lines and lengths to begin with but it was their spinners, Ahmdazai and Stanikzay, who controlled the middle overs who broke the back of this run chase.
A whole lot of credit, though, needs to be given to the Fence batters, Zain Ahmad in particular who was largely responsible for pretty much killing the game within the first half with his blistering knock of 76 which took France to a well over-par score of 175.
