So, that will be it from the first game today in Malta. You can now switch tabs and join us for the second match happening in around 15 minutes from now. This is the pair of Rudransh and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!
Gozo Zalmi win by 59 runs!
Adnan Anwar 42 (9) | Nikhil Kaushal - 2/9 (2) Jovin Jacob 21 (20) | Tony Thomas - 2/13 (2)
What a shame that an innings which should have been filled with a lot of interest and excitement ended up having a tame run chase in it!
Only two double-digit scores and no one crossing a strike rate of 150. Just tells you how poor the batting effort was! Of course, there is nothing to be taken away from the Gozo Zalmi bowling but the batting required better intent, tactics and valour.
On the whole, the fielding was okay from the Zalmi but the bowling stole the show! Of the seven bowlers used, only one went for more than 10.00 RPO.
So, with this win, Gozo Zalmi strengthen their position in the points table with 10 points while Red Stars stay on only 4 points.

9.5 Fazil Rahman to Ajmal Ali, short outside off, Ali makes room, cuts and misses
9.4 Fazil Rahman to Ajmal Ali, yorker on the middle, Ali gets the drive off the toe end of his bat, straight back to the bowler
9.3 Fazil Rahman to Ajmal Ali, FOUR! Short on the body, Ali makes room and guides it to deep third where the fielder dives and makes a mess of it
9.2 Fazil Rahman to Ajmal Ali, full on the leg-stump, Ali makes room and gets hit on the pads and the ball goes to the keeper
9.1 Fazil Rahman to Paul Philomina, short outside off, Philomina dabs it to third man for a single

Last over coming up now. Just the formalities remaining here for the match to end. Will we see some moments of interest though?

We still have a couple of overs. Which means, there is enough time for Red Stars to get to 50! It has been such a disappointing batting effort up to now. Gozo Zalmi could not have asked for a better innings!
