Match Summary: Austrian Cricket Tigers beat Graz Cricket Academy by 38 runs.

Imran Asif 58 (30) | Adeel Tariq 2/24 (2)
Hamid Safi 28 (14) | Bhargav Pandya 1/14 (2)

In many ways, the damage was done in the first innings when Graz Cricket Academy's bowlers lost their radar and shipped far too many runs that allowed Austrian Cricket Tigers to mount a massive score on the board. GCA needed to get off to a flyer to put the bowlers under pressure and while they tried their level best, they could never stay on par with the asking rate.

Habib Ahmadzai and Shaukat Durani looked to maximize the powerplay as much as they could. While they racked up 37 in that phase, even that wasn't enough from the point of view from the asking rate, which just increased exponentially with each passing over. Wickets were bound to fall as a result of the batters taking that extra risk and that's exactly what transpired as the bowlers chipped away at regular intervals.

Beyond a point, it was just the case of the formalities playing out. The asking rate shot above 20 halfway into the innings and there was just no recovering thereon from GCA's perspective. Mind you, their batters didn't go down without a fight as Hamid Safi, Yogesh Belage and Abidullah Kotiwal all threw caution to the wind. But it was just a case of getting as close to the target as they possibly could. That the end result was still a pretty handsome margin of victory in favor of the Tigers tells you all you need to know.

This now takes the Tigers to eight points as they remain placed solidly on the table. As for GCA, they really have work to do in order to string together a consistent set of wins going forward.

We saw the first innings end with a six and the second ends with a wicket. Poetic moments that just sum up how good the Tigers have been today! Austrian Cricket Tigers win by 38 runs!

He sure hasn't alright! Alas, this is beyond his reach though for all practical purposes. Just the final rites pending now at the Seebarn Cricket Ground. The Tigers will want to try and win this by as big a margin as they can. Graz Cricket Academy require 43 runs to win off the final over!
