Commentary

That concludes all the live action from this game today, folks!
Thank you for staying with us throughout the exciting moments.
Your commentators for today were Lavil Saldanha and Tasmai Krishnan.
Have a fantastic day ahead!

Kieron Pollard (New York Strikers): Yesterday's loss wasn't consequential. It was a new game for us and we executed our plans all over again. The pitch isn't conducive to bat always, you add 15-20 runs more and it becomes a good total. (About Akeal Hosein's performance) It was a fantastic performance. I have seen his performance since he was a kid. He comes to the fore every time whenever asked and when I have tried my tactics. Credit goes to all the boys. No plans for tonight, guys can have a day off and they deserve a couple of overs. I won't say anything to them. We were losing finalists last year and want to go the extra mile. The owners have invested a lot and we want to give it back to them

Akeal Hosein (Man of the match for his 5/8): It is a great feeling. It is basically to use what works with you. I'm a spinner but if it is swinging try to bowl it quicker. It is all about getting the execution right. It is all about keeping your mind calm and once you bowl it try to bowl the best ball. I take my celebration ideas from Fifa or my younger brother. Dwayne Bravo told me that this is the toughest format so that's an advice I take with me

NEW YORK STRIKERS WIN BY 41 RUNS!

Rahamanullah Gurbaz 56(28) | Qais Ahmad (2-0-24-2)
Qais Ahmad 31 (12) | Akeal Hosein (2-0-6-5)

A very one force dominated match comes to an end, with the obvious and better team today, clinching victory, which was none other than the New York Strikers.

The game took off courtesy a stupendous knock up top from Gurbaz, who absolutely took control over the game, with some free flowing shots through the off side and some powerful shots over the leg side.

Qais Ahmad bowled a phenomenal spell, striking twice, characterized with some good and well paced leggies! He was also the only ray of hope for the Samp Army with the bat, with a flashy cameo down the order courtesy a 31 of just balls worth 2 overs.

But one man stole the show!! AKEAL HOSEIN! WHAT A SPELL! 5 wickets for only 6 runs and all 5 were equally breath taking!! His variants in the middle, and the way he fielded too was superb to spectate!! Truly a tremendous spell from him!!

You really can't say too much about the top order batters of the Samp Army, who were completely bamboozled by this wonderful spell delivered by Hosein!

Overall, we witnessed a marvellous game of cricket, permeated by its ups and owns, and there was always one side slated to win after the first 2 overs, and as poised to occur, it did happen!

9.6 Muhammad Waseem to Qais Ahmed, TWO RUNS! NEW YORK STRIKERS WIN! Full toss on the middle and off stump, Qais hits that one down the ground towards long on and picks up a brace. Morrisville Samp Army scored 80/9 in their 10 overs with the Strikers winning Qualifier 1 by 41 runs. They march onto the finals!

9.5 Muhammad Waseem to Qais Ahmed, FOUR! Full toss on the middle stump, Qais plays it towards deep square leg and the ball races along the turf to the boundary for a four

9.4 Muhammad Waseem to Qais Ahmed, full and outside the off stump. Qais has a play and a miss. No run

9.3 Muhammad Waseem to Qais Ahmed, length delivery outside the off stump. Qais hits that one towards deep extra cover where the fielder does a good job of stopping a boundary. The pair take a brace

9.2 Muhammad Waseem to Qais Ahmed, length delivery on the off stump. Qais hits it high in the air but it falls between deep square leg and deep midwicket. The pair take a brace

9.1 Muhammad Waseem to Muhammad Irfan, slower one on the leg stump. Irfan looks to go big but gets an inside edge towards covers for a single

Very impressed with the way Jawad ullah has bowled today! He is hitting the right lengths and has a great sense of pre-anticipation, prior to the ball is released and changes his length last moment, if there are any pre-meditated movements from the batter. Loved how he came closer to the crease this over and that very much showed in his lengths! He's bowling at a good pace too, keeping the batters on the back foot always, and if they do step out, he bowls it short. Some good thinking from the young pacer!

8.6 Muhammad Jawadullah to Qais Ahmed, FOUR! Low full toss outside the off stump, Qais opens his blade and flashes that one past the fielders at cover and point to the boundary for a four to end the over

8.5 Muhammad Jawadullah to Muhammad Irfan, full length delivery on the line of the middle an the off stump. Hit down the ground towards long on for a single

8.4 Muhammad Jawadullah to Muhammad Irfan, full length delivery on the line of the off stump. Irfan does well to jam his bat down in time and stop that one from going onto his stumps. No run

8.3 Muhammad Jawadullah to Qais Ahmed, length delivery on the middle and the leg stump. Qais pulls that one away but off his inside edge towards deep square leg for a single

New batter, RHB, Muhammad Irfan walks into the middle

8.2 Muhammad Jawadullah to Muhammad Irfan, low full toss on the off stump. Pushed down the ground towards mid-on for a single

8.1 Muhammad Jawadullah to Jake Lintott, OUT! CAUGHT! Length delivery on the leg stump, Lintott comes down the track but is cramped for room and looks to pull it away. The ball takes the top edge and goes high in the air but Dickwella, with the gloves on, is cool as a cucumber and collects that one nicely
