Coming into chase 61 Gorkha, did not have the greatest of starts as well. They lost a couple of wickets in the first over and with that Oeiras with the ball were on top and had their tails up. Oeiras skipper made some great decisions with field placings which worked.

Madhukar Thapa, RHB comes to the crease next!
Gorkha are just 5 runs away from a win here. It looks highly unlikely that their batters might just lose the game from this stage. Oeiras batting surely has a lot of thinking to do going forward.
