SC Europa Cricket have won the match by 2 runs!! Elation for SC Europa! Despair for KSV. What an end to such a tight game! The match went down right to the last ball but Mussaddiq could not score 4 runs of the last delivery. KSV have got only themselves to blame. They gave away 53 runs in extras in the first innings and were also fined 5 penalty runs for their slow over rate. That came back to haunt them as they lost by a small margin of just 2 runs. The KSV were cruising at 113/0 with Shoaib scoring 68(30) and Mussaddiq scoring an unbeaten 55(27). But the introduction of spin helped Europa get their first wicket. It went downhill for KSV from then. They suddenly looked in trouble and could not hit the maximums. As this close encounter comes to an end, join us at Sportskeeda for all the live action from today's second game as the VFB Fallersleben take on the MTV Stallions. Till then, this is me, Maanas Upadhyay, and my partner, Habil Ahmed, signing off. Stay safe!
