Thats it from Day 3 of St Gallen T20 as I, Sarthak Karkhanis and my colleague, Shashwat Kumar sign off from this eventful game of T10 cricket. Adios and do switch tabs and stay tuned Sportskeeda for the St Lucia T10. Adios!
So, Olten comfortably win this one in the end as they defeat WCC by 19 runs. Cheema and Tiwana were the only standout batsmen for Winterthur. Nayyar, Stanikzai and Usman picked 2 wickets as wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals which helped OCC arrest the run rate. That meant WCC were always behind in the game. A controversy erupted midway through the innings with a waist high ball called by the square leg umpire off a bowled dismissal but that didnt harm OCC's chances of winning this game.
9.6 Shathees Thanasegaram to Pio de Silva, length delivery outside off and Pio swishes and misses. A tame end to a rather exciting encounter.
9.5 Shathees Thanasegaram to Deesh Banneheka, full delivery at the stumps and swept to square leg for a single.
9.4 Shathees Thanasegaram to Deesh Banneheka, FOUR! Short and at the batsman and Deesh clubs it away to square leg for four. Not the most inspiring fielding effort though.
9.3 Shathees Thanasegaram to Pio de Silva, back of a length delivery and Pio chips it into the off-side for a single.
9.2 Shathees Thanasegaram to Pio de Silva, length delivery outside off and Pio swings and misses at it.
9.1 Shathees Thanasegaram to Deesh Banneheka, slower delivery outside off and sliced to point for one run.
With Tiwana's wicket coming in this over, its the final nail in the coffin for WCC. They need 27 off the final which is highly unlikely to get. WCC are 68-8 after 9 overs.
8.6 Malyar Stanikzai to Deesh Banneheka, low full toss at the stumps and driven down the ground for a single.
8.5 Malyar Stanikzai to Rajveer Singh Tiwana, OUT! That is a peach! Another slower delivery on a length and it completely flummoxes Rajveer. He is too early into his shot and the ball rattles into the stumps to give Malyar his second scalp!
8.4 Malyar Stanikzai to Pio de Silva, slower low full toss on the pads and Pio taps it into the leg side for one.
8.3 Malyar Stanikzai to Pio de Silva, full delivery and hit straight back to the bowler.
8.2 Malyar Stanikzai to Rajveer Singh Tiwana, slower yorker and Rajveer drags it away to mid-wicket for one. There is a chance of a run out at the non-striker's end but the bowler whips off the bails without gathering the ball.
Just 4 runs off the over and a wicket for OTC as WCC are 64-7 after 8 overs. 31 runs needed off the final 2 overs. Can Tiwana guide Winterthur to victory or will Olten achieve the victory?
8.1 Malyar Stanikzai to Pio de Silva, drifts onto the pads and Pio tidily helps it down to fine leg for a single.
7.6 Shathees Thanasegaram to Rajveer Singh Tiwana, back of a length delivery outside off and it whizzes past Rajveer's attempted pull shot. Sharp delivery.
7.5 Shathees Thanasegaram to Pio de Silva, angled into the batsman and the ball deflects off the inside edge for a single.
7.4 Shathees Thanasegaram to Mohamed Aqular, OUT! Short and wide and asking to be punished! But, Aqular ends up slicing it straight down the throat of the fielder at third man. He literally could have hit it anywhere but picked out the man in the circle. The wheels are coming off for Winterhur CC!
7.3 Shathees Thanasegaram to Rajveer Singh Tiwana, back of a length delivery at the batsman and Rajveer pulls it to mid-wicket for a single.
