Commentary

That's all we have from the coverage of this game then. There's another game lined up for Gozo which gets under way in around 20 minutes' time. You can switch tabs to catch all the action from that game. For now, this is Pratyush Rohra, signing off on behalf of my partner, Arya Sekhar. See ya!

Victoria Lions won by 13 runs!

Adhith Rajan - 55 (31) & 2/6 | Vimal Pillai - 2/9
Gautam Datta - 27 (15) | Abhilash Kannatheyil - 2/14

The absolute scenes! This is the magic of European cricket. Victoria Lions have done the double over Gozo and they've done it in some style. After posting only 97 on the board, they managed to make a game out of this one, even with Gozo at 31/1 at the end of the powerplay.

Gautam Datta was firing on all cylinders to get his side off to a flier before being dismissed in the fifth over. Gozo were cruising at that stage with 51/3 on the board and had this run chase in the bag for most of the innings. With 33 runs needed off the last three overs, they needed one decent partnership to get them over the line.

However, the man of the moment, Adhith Rajan could do no wrong. He delivered the double whammy in the eight over for the Lions, completely derailing the Gozo run chase in the process. Only 5 runs came off the eighth and ninth over with Gozo letting this one slip away from their grasp.

With 28 runs in the bank to defend in the final over, Rohan Rajan held his nerve to ensure that the Victoria Lions make it two wins out of two and also upset Gozo's cart.

Vasim Shaikh, RHB, comes to the crease

9.5 Rohan Raja to Bhuwan Aryal, WICKET! Aryal has been cleaned up here. On a good-length shaping away and Aryal with an almighty swing across the line only to see his off-stump getting clattered.

9.4 Rohan Raja to Bhuwan Aryal, FOUR! On a length outside off again and that has been crunched of the centre of the bat past the cover=-point region and off to the fence.

9.3 Rohan Raja to Bhuwan Aryal, FOUR! That has been crashed through the cover region for a boundary. That was in the slot and drilled all along the ground.

9.2 Rohan Raja to Jerin Jacob, slices away the fuller one outside off towards deep third man for a single.

9.2 Rohan Raja to Jerin Jacob, that has been called a wide.

9.1 Rohan Rajan to Jerin Jacob, FOUR! On a length around middle and that has been nailed away from his presence and deposits that down towards deep midwicket for a boundary.

Rohan Rajan [1.0-0-17-0] is back into the attack

Only 5 runs coming off the last couple of overs and that's allowed Victoria Lions to seal the game, more of less. 28 runs needed off the final over. This is Victoria's game to lose.
