Istanbul KSK won by 59 runs
Rabee Ur Rahman 12(11) | Murad Ozbek 3/5(2)
What a performance from the Instanbul KSK. After an impressive batting performance, posting 112, the onus was on the bowlers to rise to the occasion and eventually, it was a clinical performance from them, winning the game for Istanbul by 59 runs.
Rabee Ur Rahman was the top scorer with 12 off 11 deliveries and that was the only double-digit score in the innings. Murad Ozbek had a brilliant day at the office, bagging a hat-trick which never really allowed Pleven to get going Rifat Hossain and Apoorv Mishra struck a boundary each but those were few and far between as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
The boundaries never really came at a rate which they needed and it was basically substandard batting from most of the batters. They knew they can't chase this down and decided to bat out the remainder of the overs. It was a polished performance from the Istanbul KSK and eventually went on to win by 59 run

9.6 Zohaib Iqbal to Arun Joy, THAT WILL BE THAT! ISTANBUL KSK GET THE WIN RATHER CONVINCINGLY! Good length ball on off-stump. Pushed off the back foot to short cover for no run.
9.5 Zohaib Iqbal to Zain Mustafa, STUMPED! Fuller outside off-stump. A swing and a miss from the front foot but the batter did not make an attempt to get back in the crease with urgency. The keeper, in the meantime, threw the stumps down and hit the stumps direct! The replay showed that the foot was not in the crease at the point of the bails getting dislodged!
9.4 Zohaib Iqbal to Suhaid Puthanpurayil, full on leg-stump. Suhaid stays leg-side of the ball and drives it down to long-off for a single.
9.3 Zohaib Iqbal to Suhaid Puthanpurayil, good length ball outside off-stump. Another swing through the line on the back foot but a miss! Dot ball.
9.2 Zohaib Iqbal to Suhaid Puthanpurayil, good length ball outside off-stump. A swish and a miss by backing away. No run.
9.1 Zohaib Iqbal to Suhaid Puthanpurayil, good length ball on off-stump. A play and a miss this time but the leg-bye is not quite on.

8.6 Muhammed Turkmen to Suhaid Puthanpurayil, fuller on off-stump. Tapped to mid-off's left from the front foot for a single.
8.5 Muhammed Turkmen to Zain Mustafa, fuller on off-stump. Squirted to backward point from the back foot for a single which was really risky!
8.4 Muhammed Turkmen to Zain Mustafa, RUN OUT! Full on off-stump. Knocked off the outside edge to short third man, Mustafa did not move but the non-striker took off! He had to run back to make his crease but the throw from short third was good enough to hit the stumps at the bowler's end direct, before he could make it back in!
Zain Mustafa, RHB is the new man in.
8.3 Muhammed Turkmen to Rabeeh Ur Rahman, GOT HIM! Fuller outside off-stump. A slice over short third man ends up being a catch to backward point! The connection was not the best on that occasion.
8.3 Muhammed Turkmen to Rabeeh Ur Rahman, full and too WIDE outside off-stump. A bye gets given away too!
8.2 Muhammed Turkmen to Amal Thomas, fuller and slower outside off-stump. Another lap shot gets edged to the right of short fine-leg for a single!
8.1 Muhammed Turkmen to Rabeeh Ur Rahman, good length ball around off-stump. A mistimed swat over the bowler for a single only.
8.1 Muhammed Turkmen to Rabeeh Ur Rahman, WIDE outside off-stump with the away-swinger here!
