Bucharest Gladiators beat Lankan Lions by 60 runs.
Amir Hamza - 79 (30) | Waqas Ahmed 2/5 Chanaka Fernando 17 (9) | Praveen Wijesuriya 1/28
The Gladiators register a thumping victory and take 4 points out of this match. The writing was on the wall after the put on a massive score of 149 on the board. Though, their poor start with the ball ignited the hopes of an unlikely chase.
The first two overs produced 33 runs including 20 that came via extras. However, once the bowlers tightened their lines up, the Lions struggled to put them away. The intent was pretty much there. They kept on swinging their blades with might and optimism but did not send as many balls to the boundary as they would have liked.
Soon, the wickets began to tumble and the Lions found themselves staring down the barrel. Tight overs from Waqas Ahmed and Umair Safi meant that they were not even able to get to 105 to salvage a point.

9.6 Luca Petre to Malinda Pathiranage, BUCHAREST GLADIATORS REMAIN UNBEATEN! Back of a length around off-stump. A play and a miss with the push to the cover point region on the back foot.
9.5 Luca Petre to Dinuja Thiwanka, good length ball on the pads. Worked around to backward square-leg off the hip for a single.
9.5 Luca Petre to Dinuja Thiwanka, full and WIDE down the leg-side here with the in-swinger. Time to bowl it again.
Petre gets a wicket to his name. It is another good grab by the man at long-on. He stood a couple of yards inside and hence, had to jump in order to catch that.
9.4 Luca Petre to Praveen Wijesuriya, THAT'S OUT! Short on off-stump. Not all that well timed with the pull shot. Mid-on gets it right with his jump and takes the catch! Praveen Wijesuriya c Amir Hamza b Luca Petre 9 (13b, 1x4, 0x6)
9.3 Luca Petre to Malinda Pathiranage, length ball around off-stump. A miscued shot to the left of the bowler for just the single here!
9.2 Luca Petre to Malinda Pathiranage, back of a length around off-stump. A play and a miss on the up through the line. No run.
9.1 Luca Petre to Praveen Wijesuriya, full on off-stump. Squirted to the deep cover point area off the front foot for a single.
Luca Petre, right arm fast medium, bowls the final over.
Safi ends his spell with a wicket maidan. Lions still need another 20 runs to avoid conceding the bonus point.

8.6 Umair Safi to Malinda Pathiranage, PUT DOWN! Short around off-stump. Outside-edged off the back-foot punch but the keeper fails to take it low down to his right. No run.
Malinda Pathiranage, RHB, is the new batter.
Irfan Hussain dives forward and takes that inches off the ground. Very good catch.
8.5 Umair Safi to Oshada Jayawickrama, GONE! Back of a length on off-stump. Oshada steps out and bunts to the cover area. The fielder dives forward and takes a stunning catch low down!
Oshada Jayawickrama c Irfan Husain b Umair Safi 1 (7b, 0x4, 0x6)
8.3 Umair Safi to Oshada Jayawickrama, short over middle-stump. The cut over point by backing away gets missed yet again. No run.
That one hit Jayawickrama on the boot. He is hobbling around in pain.
8.2 Umair Safi to Oshada Jayawickrama, AH! Really full and crushing the batter on his toes here. There appears a chance of running the non-striker out but that too gets missed! No run.
8.1 Umair Safi to Oshada Jayawickrama, short over leg-stump. A play and a miss by Oshada by stepping away and driving on the up! No run.
