Earlier in the match, Ali Usman's spell made sure that COCC were restricted to a below par total. Thats it from this entertaining game of cricket in the 1st semi-final of the St Gallen. From myself, Sarthak Karkhanis and my co-commentator Karthik Iyer, goodbye from this game. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for the 2nd semi-final.
Stanikzai... finishes off in style. Ali Nayyer's 4 sixes in the 8th over changed the momemtum completely. Jai Sinh's catch which he couldnt complete has costed COCC a place in the final. At the end of the 6th over, the match was evenly poised, but skipper Nayyer's Russellesque knock meant that OCC continued their winning run from the group stages. The top 3 couldnt get going, and other Nayyer, Stanikzai and Usman chipped in with useful contributions.
