Commentary

Nicosia Tigers CC beat Limassol Zalmi by 4 runs

Only 17 runs were required off 12 balls and that proved to be one too many as Nicosia Tigers made a match out of it nowhere after their collapse in their batting in the second half and the way Limassol Zalmi played for 80% of their innings. This has to go down as one of the finest matches of Cyprus T10

Nicosia Tigers had a great start to their defence after they knocked out Umar Shah in the first ball that he faced. Sohail Ahmed was soon run-out courtesy of an excellent throw from the cow corner by Roman Mazumder. There were tiny cameos that proved handy during the chase by Jawad Shah and Ahsan Ullah. Murtuza Khan, the skipper was responsible for stabilizing the ship and taking his side over the line and he almost did it with his 20-ball 34 but got out in the 9th over.

Arjun Shahi and Faysal Mia were the pick of the bowlers as they picked up two wickets each. The former picked up the crucial wicket of the skipper as he holed out a catch to Ashish Bam and that was the turning point of the game- A question sports journalists ponder over a lot.

Ahsan Ullah was caught by Ashish Bam off Faysal Mia and that was a crucial blow as well because LIZ were on course for an early finish.

The fielding also let them down in the middle overs and that would have been a topic of discussion had they not clinched this thriller from Limassol Zalmi's hands. But as they say, all's well that ends well.

So until next time and we hope to encounter such thrillers because the coverage we bring to you exceeds that excitement and we at Sportskeeda feel really blessed and privileged to bring the coverage to the best fans in the world, this is me Anavit Naik along with my fellow co-commentator Sooryanarayanan Sesha signing off

Take a bow Nicosia Tigers! This was as exuberant as it could ever get.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE THRILLER!!!!

This was the most intense, excruciating, exhilarating, astonishing and exceptionally competitive encounter between Nicosia Tigers and Limassol Zalmi.

Have you guys got your breath back cause I'm still struggling to put words to this rollercoaster?

9.6 Faysal Mia to Junaid Javed, DOT BALL! FAYSAL MIA HAS DONE IT! CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS! He fires it right into the blockhole wide of off and Javed hangs back to whip it out off his wrists. Alas, he fails to connect as the ball thuds into the keeper's pads before dribbling into the leg-side in front of square. He covers up himself though and the Tigers can celebrate! They've pulled off the double and continue to remain unbeaten in the tournament. Nicosia Tigers win by 4 runs!

Limassol Zalmi need 5 runs in 1 remaining ball

The pendulum is swinging like it will take a 360 degree turn

Junaid Javed, right hand bat walks out to the middle

9.5 Faysal Mia to Fawad Afridi, OUT! CAUGHT BY HASHAM ALI! ANOTHER TWIST IN THE TALE! Drops it short and well outside off as he fires it slightly quick, Fawad shuffles across and flat-bats it powerfully over extra cover. He fails to get hold of it though and spoons it straight into the hands of the fielder running in from the deep! What happens now?

OHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

9.5 Faysal Mia to Fawad Afridi, WIDE! SMART FROM FAWAD! Sees it speared just down leg and he hops across to leave it alone as the ball slides down to the keeper.

Limassol Zalmi need 6 runs in 2 remaining balls

9.4 Faysal Mia to Numan Munir, flighted into a full length around off, Numan hangs back and swings over mid-wicket before the ball drops short of cow corner who cuts across to his right. One hit away now!

Limassol Zalmi need 7 runs in 3 remaining balls

Let us settle this come on!

9.3 Faysal Mia to Fawad Afridi, dropped short and just outside off, Fawad rocks back for a pull over square leg before the fielder in the deep fires a quick throw to prevent the second run. Numan turns down a risky second and takes it upon himself now!

9.2 Faysal Mia to Fawad Afridi, SUPERLATIVE STOP! Short of length and flighted outside off, Fawad steps down the track and clubs it straight down the ground with a horizontal shot before long on hares to his right and sticks a hand out to prevent a boundary. A better throw from his colleague was needed to prevent the second run though.

Excellent fielding there!
