Commentary

Right! That's it from us here at Sportskeeda! Hope you enjoyed our coverage and do join us for the remaining matches of the competition! Till then, this is me (Pradeep Somashekar) and Abhinav Singh signing off! Stay safe and goodbye!

Terrific victory for MSC Frankfurt! Credit goes to Shahid Afridi who looked in great touch by clobbering the deliveries all over the park, ensured that MSF get a great start, he perished for a quick fire 36(12) with 4 SIX'es and 2 boundaries!. MSF did lose their way a bit in the middle of the innings but Paramveer Singh 26(21) and Qader Khan 23(13) ensured they'll take this down to the last over and win this for them. They managed to keep up the RRR and were in the hunt all the time with the chase. It was a comfortable win in the end for MSC Frankfurt, they'll be delighted with this victory!

Frankfurt CC on the other hand just couldn't stop Shahid Afridi from taking this game away from them, they did finally manage to pick his wicket but it was all over by then, Hasan Nauman 5/2 was the pick of the bowlers for them and he did a splendid job by not giving away anything and picking up 2 crucial wickets. Probably the turning point of the match was the 2nd over of this innings which went for 28, courtesy Shahid Afridi of Waheed Haji who looked clueless! They needed someone good at the death to stop MSF from chasing this down easily! They need to sort out their bowling a bit in this tournament to get back on track!

MSC Frankfurt beat Frankfurt CC by 5 wickets!

Alrighty, terrific win for MSF, they win this with 2 balls to spare! Back to back boundaries by Paramveer Singh ensured this is not going down to the wire. They win this easily at the end!
