Commentary

Thanks for joining me- Mohul Bhowmick- and Rajarshi for this exciting humdinger of a match! Until next time, take care and ciao!

Msida Warriors beat Southern Crusaders via the Golden Ball!

Shijil Joy 46 (36)* | Zeshan Yousaf 2/7
Ryan Bastiansz 37 (20) | Vipin Mohan 1/5

It had to go down to the Golden Ball to separate these two teams. The Crusaders did their best to prevent the Warriors from running away with the game, and they proved to be successful to an extent, but in the end, fortune favoured the brave, and Ajin Soman sealed the deal for his side.

One has to feel for the fielder who dropped the catch off the Golden Ball but that is what pressure does to the best of men. The Warriors, however, will need to improve upon their batting performance. Their captain Shijil Joy batted through the innings but quite unconvincingly, and he needs to up his scoring rate.

Zeshan Yousaf did extremely well for the Crusaders, and deserves full credit for his bowling figures. As a matter of fact, both these teams bowled exceedingly well, and are about to take each other on in another clash in about ten minutes' time. This game ended up going the Warriors' way, but the Crusaders are sure to try and get their revenge in the game coming up next.

GOLDEN BALL 0.1 Basil George to Ajin Soman, fullish outside off, Soman swings it towards deep midwicket. The catch goes straight down the throat of the fielder stationed there, who puts it down! Ajin Soman crosses over for a brace, and the Warriors win! The Msida Warriors beat Southern Crusaders via the Golden Ball!

For the uninitiated, here's the rule for the Golden Ball- the batting side need to score two runs off one ball. If that does not happen, the fielding side will win.

9.6 Basil George to Shijil Joy, IT IS A TIE! Fullish outside off. Joy manages to loft it over cover and picks up a couple of runs! We are going to have a GOLDEN BALL now- the second of the year!

9.5 Basil George to Ajin Soman, fullish on off and middle. Soman drills it towards long on and manages to pick up just a run. Three runs off one ball now!

9.5 Basil George to Shijil Joy, WIDE down the legside! Soman calls for a run and carries through. The keeper manages to hit the stumps in time but Soman has made it! A wide plus a run taken.

9.4 Basil George to Shijil Joy, FOUR! Short of a length on middle and leg. Joy swivels in the crease and pulls it away past deep square leg for a boundary! This is getting close!

9.3 Basil George to Shijil Joy, YORKER! Full and straight on off. Joy swings at it and misses!

9.2 Basil George to Shijil Joy, EDGED AND FOUR! Fullish and a little wide outside off. Joy swings at it without really moving his feet too much. He gets a thick outside edge that goes past the diving keeper for a boundary!

9.1 Basil George to Ajin Soman, a single to start the tenth! Fullish outside off. Soman drills it uppishly towards long on.

8.1 Mahabub Rahman to Shijil Joy, FREE HIT AND RUN OUT! Tossed up on off and middle. Joy swipes it towards deep midwicket. He calls for two- the first is taken quite comfortably, but his partner Louis is run out by a long way while attempting the second. There just isn't a second run there but Louis has sacrificed himself for Joy's sake!
