Match Summary: Germany beat Sweden by 5 wickets!
Sachin Mandy (33* off 15) | Naser Baluch 2/4 (2) Sahir Naqash (18 off 13) | Prashant Shukla 2/15 (2)
So then, it turned out to be a low-scoring thriller in the end. The Swedish bowler Baluch got the ball moving at the top and troubled the German batters. He was well assisted by the other bowlers too.
It looked like Germany were in trouble at the halfway stage into this run-chase. But a couple of crucial knocks from Sachin and Sahir before him ensured that Germany were able to get across the line at the end.
Sweden bowlers did well to get wickets regularly and kept things fairly tight. However, they did not have enough runs on the board in this contest. And that probably cost them this game.
Germany wins their first game of the tri-series, and Sweden faces their first defeat after winning the opening game of the series against Estonia in dominating fashion. Germany play Estonia next in a few minutes from now. Meanwhile, Sweden have some time to regroup before they play once again against the two sides later in the day.
9.4 Samiullah Rahmani to Asad Mohammad, WINNING RUN! Length ball outside off. Asad dabs this to point and scampers through for a single. With that, Germany wins this contest by 5 wickets and two balls to spare.
9.3 Samiullah Rahmani to Asad Mohammad, DOUBLE MISTAKE LEVELS THE SCORES! Yorker at the stumps. Asad bunts this towards the on-side of the pitch and dashes for one. The bowler gathers the ball and takes shy at the stumps and misses. Sachin calls Asad through for a second who hesitates but was able to make his ground due to a wild throw to the keeper.
9.2 Samiullah Rahmani to Asad Mohammad, DOT AGAIN! Full delivery shaping in. Asad throws his bat at it but misses again.
9.1 Samiullah Rahmani to Asad Mohammad, Full delivery angling in. Asad throws his bat at it but misses.
Samiullah Rahmani comes on to bowl the final over.
Germany need just three runs off the final over to win the game. Sweden need their best bowler on and their fielders need to be tighter inside the circle.
