Commentary

Well then, we have come to the end of ECS T10 Malmo and at the end of all the action, Goteborg City have emerged as the new winners, defeating defending champions Ariana Akif quite comfortably in the final. Ariana Akif did not get the start they needed, losing wickets in the powerplay as their top order failed to get going.

None of the batsmen could really get themselves going from there on, as they were constantly kept under pressure. Goteborg kept picking wickets all the way through and ensured that they gave Ariana Akif no chance to comeback. It was Rahim Safi, who was the pick of the bowlers, grabbing two wickets, after making a brilliant contribution with the bat as well. The rest of the bowlers contributing as well, they were terrific in the field as well and this has been a complete all-round effort from the side.

Ariana Akif just lost their way and found it really difficult to find a way to comeback, leaving to much to do in the end and they eventually fell short. Unable to chase the target and defend their title, as they finish runner-ups this time around. Nonetheless, they have been equally good throughout the tournament, and were favorites to make it two in two as well.

Although, it's always good to see a new champion isn't it? Goteborg rightfully being crowned champions and this victory will definitely mean a lot to them as a unit going forward. They're going to be a proud and a happy bunch as they walk of with the trophy.

That also brings us to the end of what has been yet another action packed edition of the ECS. Not long before we meet with the action again soon. Until then, this is Rishab and Maanas as we sign off. Stay tuned for more cricket around the globe on this space. Have a great weekend folks!

GOTEBORG CITY ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF ECS T10 MALMO 2021. Worthy champions and they have been phenomenal in this final and right throughout the tournament. They were brilliant today, with the bat, with the ball and in the field as well. A complete team effort and they are dancing in joy out in the center, quite deservingly as well!

9.6 Qasir Mahmood to Abdul Naser, SIX! But it does not matter as Gothenburg City are the champions! Full and outside off, Naser holds his ground and whacks that over the extra cover region for a huge maximum! Sails well over the fielder patrolling the fence but Gothenburg City's celebrations have begun!

9.5 Qasir Mahmood to Abdul Naser, FOUR! SHOT! Length ball angling onto the leg stump, Naser hooks that through the vacant fine leg region for a boundary! Naser is playing a gem of a knock here. However, it is going to be in vain as they need 28 runs off the last delivery.

9.4 Qasir Mahmood to Abdul Naser, no run, yorker on the middle stump, Naser just about brings his bat down in time and toe-ends it to the left of the keeper. A half-hearted appeal for lbw is turned down.

9.3 Qasir Mahmood to Abdul Naser, no run, back of a length ball outside off, bowled slower and Naser fails to pick the change of pace. Misses the attempted swipe.

9.2 Qasir Mahmood to Abdul Naser, SIX! Flicked away gloriously! Full and angling onto the pads, Naser holds his ground and uses his wrists to whip that over the backward square leg region for a huge maximum!

Goteborg are pumped up and why shouldn't they be? They are just moments away from beating the defending champions to claim the title now!

9.1 Qasir Mahmood to Mahmood Hijazi, OUT! CAUGHT! Yet another stunner from Zar at long on! Length ball outside off, Hijazi fetches it from there and looks to go big downtown. Cannot get it off the middle of the bat and Zar runs in and takes yet another stunning diving catch!

Wickets continue to tumble for Ariana Akif and this is just not happening for them. It's turned out to be a one-sided final so to say. They do get a couple of sixes but they haven't managed to get all of them in one big over, that they needed to. Too little too late this!

8.6 Mahib Shahin to Abdul Naser, SIX MORE! Two in two! Back of a length ball outside off, lacks venom and sits up nicely for Naser, who frees his arms and slams that over the long on region for a huge maximum!

8.5 Mahib Shahin to Abdul Naser, SIX! SHOT! Length ball on the middle stump angling in, Naser shuffles across, swivels and pulls that over the backward square leg region for a huge maximum!

8.5 Mahib Shahin to Abdul Naser, WIDE! Overcorrects as he slides one down the leg side.

8.5 Mahib Shahin to Abdul Naser, WIDE! Back of a length ball outside off, the outswing carries it past the tramline as the umpire has a stretch.

8.4 Mahib Shahin to Sedik Sahak, OUT! CAUGHT! Back of a length ball on the middle stump, Sahak backs away and slaps that aerially. The fielder at long on runs in and pouches that to send him packing!

8.3 Mahib Shahin to Sedik Sahak, no run, three dots on the trot! Length ball outside off swinging away, Sahak has a wild swipe at it but to no vial.

8.2 Mahib Shahin to Sedik Sahak, full ball outside off swinging away, Sahak puts on his dancing shoes again as he takes a couple of steps down the track but fails to make any connection

8.1 Mahib Shahin to Sedik Sahak, no run, back of a length ball outside off, Sahak charges down the track and has a swing at it but misses.
