Key Points

Still, early days in the tournament but the teams won't be dropping their intensity one bit. Taking an early lead in the tournament can help tackle any unexpected scenario in the future. KCC and HCC both have the capability to punch above their belt and they will be looking to show their mettle to the audience and the fans. Star players feature across both the outfits and therefore in nutshell, this should be a contest to watch out for.

Venue Details and Pitch Report

Match Timings: 15 Jul, 08:30 PM IST

Match Venue: Kviberg, Gothenburg

Umpires:

Pitch Report: Going by the previous matches it looks like the Kviberg strip pitch is suitable for batting. Although, the opening batsmen still need to give respect to the new ball for an over or two. The outfield gets progressively faster here and consequently its good news for the stroke makers of the teams. Expect the teams winning the toss to bat first and pile a total around 100 on the scoreboard.

Weather Prediction: The weather forecast predicts sunshine with some amount of cloud cover throughout the rain. It can rain but the matches shouldn't be rain-curtailed. The temperature will remain around the 20-degree Celsius mark and that should make for pleasant playing conditions for players.

Expert Comment

Abhinav Singh

HCC will be cursing themselves for having not converted a few of the matches into wins. They have been agonizingly close but not able to land the final sucker-punch. Anyway, it's a new day and the team will be looking to keep its demons in the pavilion and play with a free and aggressive mindset. KCC has a task in their hand to stop a highly motivated HCC team.

Commentary

Right! That's it from us here at Sportskeeda! Hope you enjoyed our coverage and do join us for the remaining matches of the competition!

Till then, this is me (Shashwat Kumar) and Sarthak Karkanis signing off! Stay safe and goodbye!

Kristianstad CC win by 8 wickets!
Kristianstad CC stuttered and stumbled for much of their chase, meaning that Hisingen always had a glimmer of hope. However, the lack of runs meant that Kristianstad CC rode on occasional boundaries to get ahead of the required run rate and ensure that there were no hiccups. Though W Musleh played a rather perplexing innings, those around him got the requisite runs as Kristianstad CC got over the line.

As for Hisingen CC, they would be ruing their inability to get a substantial total on the board. Not much could be called into question about their bowling effort but their act of digging their own grave in the first innings ultimately proved to be their undoing.

9.4 T Masoodi to I Zahiri, edged the one outside off and it runs away to the boundary as every fielder was in the circle. With that KSS have won the match by 8 wickets

9.3 T Masoodi to W Musleh, taps it and gets a quick single

9.2 T Masoodi to I Zahiri, a single taken as he gets bat on the wide ball

9.1 T Masoodi to W Musleh, flighted one and missed the by the batsman as well as the keeper and they run a bye. Poor keeping.

Kristianstad require 5 runs off the final over and barring a brain fade of historic proportions, they should fetch themselves a couple of points.

8.6 Y Tanneru to W Musleh, outside off and he drives it away for a run

8.5 Y Tanneru to I Zahiri, edged the one outside off and dropped by the keeper and they run a single

8.4 Y Tanneru to W Musleh, pulls it away for a single. That was short and certainly not the right length at this stage of the game.

8.3 Y Tanneru to I Zahiri, cuts the short ball towards the gully region for a solitary run.

8 runs required off 9 balls now.

8.2 Y Tanneru to I Zahiri, outside off and he cuts it for a couple of runs as the ball stops near the boundary. A bit more urgency in the running could have fetched Kristianstad CC an extra run.

8.1 Y Tanneru to W Musleh, outside the leg stump. The batsman taps it and steals a single. The bowler was on his heels a tad and that enabled the batsman to scamper across.

A decent over for the bowling side as Masoodi keeps the batsmen down to five runs and ensures that Hisingen have something to play with in the last couple of overs.

Kristianstad CC now require 12 runs off 12 balls!

7.6 T Masoodi to I Zahiri, dot ball to finish the over as cant pick the line of the ball

7.5 T Masoodi to I Zahiri, another one missed as he swings his bat blindly

7.4 T Masoodi to I Zahiri, outside off and he misses it. Another almighty slog by the batsman but he only ends up swiping at thin air.

7.3 T Masoodi to I Zahiri, another one flighted and drives it down the ground for a boundary. Zahiri got to the pitch of that one and then thumped it down the ground, beating the fielders at long on and long off.

7.2 T Masoodi to I Zahiri, 2 runs as he drives to cover

7.1 T Masoodi to W Musleh, flighted full toss on leg stump and Musleh can only pick out the fielder at cover. Poor ball.
