So, it is an early finish here in Match 2 of the Super Five stage. That gives us a bit of a breather before the coverage for the next match starts. We would be back on that page a few minutes before the action gets underway. For now, Darpan Tikiya and Bidipto Dutta bid adieu!
Punjab CC Amadora have gunned this target down within just 5 overs. Rao Imran was frontman with the bat in hand. He put on display some clean ball-striking as he sent the ball beyond the fence a dozen times within 21 balls. 6 fours and 6 sixes as he finishes with 64*.
For Fighters CC, this has been a forgettable outing. They did ignite the hopes of a miraculous defence with those two early wickets. But they soon faded away as we saw them squander away the pressure with some indisciplined bowling.
Punjab CC Amadora would be chuffed to start the Super Five stage with a victory that also gets them a bonus point. Fighters CC, on the other hand, will have to pick themselves off the floor and get going for the next game.
