That will be all from us here at Sportskeeda from this excellent game of cricket in the ECS Cyprus. We hope you enjoyed it just as much as we did bringing it to you. The next game of the day is coming up soon and you can catch it here. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Mohul signing off!
Kipro Tigers Limassol beat Markhor by 4 wickets!
Shahzad Ahmed 80 (31) | Waseem Abbas 4-18 Hardeep Singh 57* (25) | Bajinder Singh 2-8
If it were to put to a test, it will come down to the fact that it was the five penalty runs conceded by Markhor for their slow over rate that changed the game in their opponents favour.
Kipro Tigers Limassol seemed to be in the chase throughout their innings but were helped by a generous serving of freebies from the bowlers of Markhor.
However, in the middle overs, the latter seemed to tighten their game up somewhat and were able to pick up a few crucial wickets of the Tigers. If Markhor had managed to keep the momentum going in their favour, things might have been a tad different for them.
However, the Tigers were able to make good use of the freebies coming their way and sealed the deal quite comfortably in the end.
9.1 Arslan Ahmed to Hardeep Singh, SIX! This chase is a complete chaos but Hardeep stood till the end to do the finishing formalities. Full toss outside off, Hardeep opens the blade and slaps it over deep point for a maximum
We are coming close now! This game is bound to go down to the wire. Markhor do not look like being able to defend this total. They have also conceded five penalty runs for their slow over rate. KTL need six runs to win this game now.

8.6 Shah Khalid to Riazul Islam, he gets it right on this occasion and the over ends with a dot ball
8.6 Shah Khalid to Riazul Islam, this is frustrating. Sixth wide of the over

8.5 Shah Khalid to Hardeep Singh, back of a length outside leg-stump, pulled to short fine leg for a single
8.4 Shah Khalid to Riazul Islam, back of a length outside leg-stump, turned to square leg. They decided to take a risky single and a throw is aimed at the non-strikers' end. Khalid knocks the stumps without collecting the ball, so it's deemed as a not-out

8.2 Shah Khalid to Riazul Islam, back of a length angling across off, punched down to long-off for one
