Commentary

Thanks for joining us- Mohul Bhowmick and Bidipto Datta- for this fascinating game in the ECS! Until next time, ciao!

Limassol Zalmi won this game via the Golden Ball!

Salman Khan 63 (23) | Murtaza Khan 2/17
Abdullah Al Tasmin 36 (18) | Monirul Islam 2/17

Despite getting off to a brilliant start thanks to their openers Abdullah Al Tasmin and Kamran Mahmud, they could not quite keep it up. When Murtaza Khan came into the attack, he tore into the batting order of Nicosia and made sure that there was no going back from there.

Hasher Ullah bowled a couple of tight overs, and although he conceded a few runs towards the end, he was the one who changed the course this game was taking. It was the dismissal of Abdullah that convinced Zalmi that they would be able to emerge as victors in this game.

But, but and but. This is where the game changed completely. Skipper Anowar Hossain got a few lucky edges from here and there off the bowling of Jawad Shah, and the game was back with the Nicosia Fighters. With the clock running out, Nicosia managed to get five penalty runs, and this brought them to get 7 runs off the last over.

With another big twist in store, the last over bowled by Murtaza Khan yielded six runs and the game went into the golden ball eliminator. And then, what happened next was something that nobody could have seen coming- the Zalmi pulled it off!

A direct hit from the fielder at midwicket ensured that not even one run was possible off the golden ball, and this contributed, in the end towards the victory of Limassol Zalmi. What a fantastic game of cricket we had today! It was a great privilege to cover it.

0.1 Babar Ayub to Kamran Ahmed, RUN OUT! WHAT A DIRECT HIM! LIMASSOL ZALMI WIN! Full toss on middle-stump. Hoicked around to mid-wicket from the front foot. The fielder gets hold of it, shies at the stumps at the bowler's end and throws the stumps down with a direct hit! Kamran is way short of his crease when the bails come off!

The scores are tied! We're going to have a golden ball! Oh my word...

9.6 Murtaza Khan to Anowar Hossain, WE HAVE A GOLDEN BALL! Good length ball on middle. Inside edged to short fine-leg off the back foot from an attempted back-cut but for only a single! Scores are level and the match is tied!

9.5 Murtaza Khan to Anowar Hossain, good length ball on middle-stump. Slogged around down to long-leg from one knee and the batters manage a couple of runs here! 2 runs needed off 1 ball now!

9.4 Murtaza Khan to Anowar Hossain, OH! Slower full toss outside off-stump. A swipe across the line from the back foot does get attempted but the connection is not there! No run.

9.3 Murtaza Khan to Anowar Hossain, full on middle-stump. Driven down to long-off from the front foot. But a poor misfield and a terrible throw to the bowler's end after that gives away two runs!

9.2 Murtaza Khan to Anowar Hossain, full outside off-stump. A swing and a miss from the crease across the line! Dot ball.

9.1 Murtaza Khan to Kamran Ahmed, full on middle-and-off. Squirted to point from the back foot for a single.

Murtaza Khan [1-0-8-2] will bowl the final over.

Well, well, well. This game has now completely turned against the Zalmi. Nicosia are on top of the game, and the five penalty runs that they were awarded has helped them tremendously. Seven runs needed off the last over!

8.6 Jawad Shah to Anowar Hossain, full and fast outside off-stump. A big heave attempted across the line from the back foot but without any connection! Dot ball.

8.5 Jawad Shah to Anowar Hossain, full on middle-stump. Flicked around to deep mid-wicket for a single. An overthrow to the bowler's end gives away another run!

8.4 Jawad Shah to Anowar Hossain, good length ball outside off-stump. A swing through the line and a miss on the back foot! No run.

8.4 Jawad Shah to Anowar Hossain, short and WIDE down the leg-side again! This doesn't help with the over rate either.

8.3 Jawad Shah to Anowar Hossain, FOUR MORE! Short outside off-stump. Slashed away over the in-field to the third man boundary off the back foot!

8.2 Jawad Shah to Anowar Hossain, FOUR! Full outside off-stump. Hossain gets it away past point from the back foot along the ground for a boundary!

8.1 Jawad Shah to Kamran Ahmed, full on middle-stump. Thumped down to long-off from the front foot for a single.
