So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentator, Bidipto. Do stay tuned for a lot more matches today including the FanCode ECS Malta final between Edex Knights and Marsa while there are two other big finals in the form of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the CSA T20 Challenge. Don't miss out on following those at Sportskeeda. Until then, it is a warm good-bye!
A COMPREHENSIVE 26-RUN WIN AND MARSA ADVANCE TO THE FINAL!! Having collapsed to 84 all out, Marsa would have been under pressure but their bowlers responded superbly. Venkatesh Pakalapati and Faisal Mahrose ensured Msida Warriors were two down inside the Powerplay while not a lot of runs were conceded too. At one end, Rockey Diainish fough for the Warriors with some impressive strokeplay but he didn't find any support. After a mini partnership between Dianish and Divyesh Kumar, the Warriors started to collapse badly with Arslan Arshad being the wrecker-in-chief with three scalps.
The likes of Fanyan Mughal and Venkatesh Pakalapati finished off the defense superbly as the Warriors didn't any easy overs to attack and eventually plummeted to 58/8 at the end of their 10 overs!
