That brings us to the end of our coverage! There's more action coming your way with the Ashes starting in England. This is Rudransh and Maanas signing off for Sportskeeda!
A hat trick to cap off a comfortable win for Baneasa, their second for the day! 135 was always going to be a difficult total for the newbies. Baneasa started with back-to-back overs of spin which didn't allow the Transylvania batters to get any momentum on a pitch that had a lot of bounce and some turn.
No batter went past 20 runs as Baneasa kept rotating their spinners. Nawaz was supreme at the start. Kishore and Strang did have a mini partnership there but Thathsara killed the only sign of resurgence by getting both of them out in his first over.
Till the time Aleem came for his second over the match was done and dusted and his tight length was met with all-out but undercooked attack from the batters, resulting in heaps of wickets. Appari and Strang were the obvious positives for Transylvania on debut and they look like they can do with a bit of experience in this tournament.
8.5 Abdul Aleem to Manesh Wadhwani, OUT! HAT-TRICK FOR ALEEM! Into the blockhole and on the off stump line, Wadhwani looks to dig that out but fails to get any bat onto it! The ball beats the inside edge and goes on to crash into the off stump! Baneasa get another win under their belt! Manesh Wadhwani b Abdul Aleem 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6)
8.4 Abdul Aleem to Mahesh Hingorani, OUT! CAUGHT! Aleem is on a hat-trick! A low full toss on the pads, should have been put away easily! Instead, Mahesh attempts the glance and ends up getting a massive leading edge which is gobbled up down to deep third man!
Mahesh Hingorani c Dilusha Lakshan b Abdul Aleem 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6)

8.3 Abdul Aleem to Spike Strang, OUT! BOWLED! Full and on the middle stump line, Spike attempts a reverse-scoop over third man but fails to make any connection. The ball crashes into the stumps!
Spike Strang b Abdul Aleem 18 (11b, 1x4, 1x6)
8.2 Abdul Aleem to Spike Strang, length ball on the middle stump line, Spike miscues the heave into the leg side. The fielder fumbles the pick-up and allows the second run.
8.1 Abdul Aleem to Keshav Pandya, full and on the leg stump line, Pandya drives it down to long on for a single.
Strang and Pandya are keeping the entertainment going in a losing cause. Thathsara would have hoped for a couple of more wickets but got smacked all over.

7.6 Viraj Thathsara to Spike Strang, full and on the middle stump line, Spike shuffles across and drives that through the covers. Some fancy foot-fielding by the sweeper there keeps it down to a couple of runs.
7.5 Viraj Thathsara to Spike Strang, SIX! BOOM! Full and on the leg stump line, Spike gets his front foot out of the way and absolutely lambasts that straight down the ground for a huge maximum! Oh that was middled!
7.4 Viraj Thathsara to Keshav Pandya, slower length ball on the body, Pandya has a swipe at it and gets it into the mid-wicket region for a single.
7.3 Viraj Thathsara to Keshav Pandya, FOUR! Good shot! Full and outside off angling away, Pandya opens the face of the bat at the last moment and nicely places it into the gap at backward point for a boundary!
7.2 Viraj Thathsara to Spike Strang, length ball on the middle stump line, punched into the mid off region for a single.
7.1 Viraj Thathsara to Spike Strang, length ball on the middle stump angling away, Spike is on the move as he looks to work it into the leg side but fails to make any connection.
They are falling like a pack of cards here! Baneasa just need to keep it on the stumps here and the wickets will keep on coming.

6.6 Abdul Aleem to Lakshman Pandey, OUT! CAUGHT! A slower full ball outside off, Pandey looks to go big downtown but ends up slicing it high in the air. Got deceived there and the sweeper cover does not make any mistake!
