So, we are done with the first match of the day at Dreux. Stay tuned for the second as it starts in around 30 minutes. Do switch tabs and join us for that one. This is the pair of Sourabh and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!
Paris Universite Club win by 7 wickets with 19 balls to spare!
Yes, there were extras conceded by Grigny Vipers. Yes, there were some loose deliveries on offer. But the batting from Paris Universite Club was just something else! Zafar Iqbal and Usman Shahid scored 108 runs together in 6 overs and helped their team take all four points from this contest!
The Vipers needed to take wickets from the start and stem the flow of runs. Neither happened, and the opening duo of the Paris Universite Club were all over them like a rash!
So, Paris Universite Club go to 25 points now, clear of any other club, on top of the table! The Vipers still have a game in hand, but are stuck on 12 points. They need to get out of the traffic jam of the mid-table quickly!
