That's all from us then !This is Soumarya Dutta, signing off on behalf of Sooryanarayan Sesha! See you soon.
Cricket Stars 84 all out in 9.5 overs Rajmani Singh 34(22) | Sadaqat Ali 3/16 Nasir Rahman 11(4) | Jawad Ahmed 2/8
What an absolutely nerve wrecking game of cricket we've just had here! The Trentino Aquilla have fought back from no where and have clinched the game via the golden ball. The Cricket Stars were cruising at one stage, especially till Rajmani Singh was there. He dominated his stay at the crease with his whirlwind knock of 34 from 22.
But once he was gone the wickets kept tumbling and there and there were some questionable shot selections from the lower order as they collapsed under pressure. In the end they needed just 5 runs from the final over with two wickets in hand , but they collapsed under pressure and lost it in the end as Sadaqat picked up both the tail enders. Jawad Ahmed bowled really well too as he picked up 2 wickets for 8 runs.
They needed 2 runs from 1 ball in the golden ball but Sadaqat held his nerve to ensure victory for his side as Amandeep could just get a single. It was an unbelievable end, to what had been a thrilling contest and the Cricket Stars will be agonized by this loss. They will have to pull themselves back up as they play later in the day.
Trentino Aquilla win the Golden Ball by 1 run!
0.1 Sadaqat Ali to Amandeep Singh, JUST A SINGLE! That won't do for the Stars! Trentino prevail! It would have been a wide had Amandeep let this short one go. Instead, he reaches for it and steers it towards point before haring across to the other end. His partner completes the run too but there is just no chance of a second with the keeper collecting the ball beside the stumps. They needed two runs and there was no other way to pull it off. Golly, what a match we've seen and at the end of it all, Trentino Aquila beat Cricket Stars in a Golden Ball finish!
Right, 2 runs needed from 1 ball! Amandeep on strike and Sadaqat to bowl! Can he do it?
Amandeep Singh will have to face the Golden Ball!
9.5 Sadaqat Ali to Sukhraj Singh, OUT! CAUGHT! WE'RE GOING TO A GOLDEN BALL! Oh so much madness and we're still not done yet! Width offered on a back of a length radar and Sukhraj hangs back to throw his wrists at it. Goes a touch squarer than he'd have liked as he picks out the man at point who gobbles it up and flings the ball into the air in celebration. The match has been tied with a Golden Ball to decide the fate of it!
Sukhraj SIngh c Ali Saqib Arshad b Sadaqat Ali 0(2b, 0x4, 0x6)
9.4 Sadaqat Ali to Sukhraj Singh, back of a length delivery angling away outside the off stump. Sukhraj reaches for it from his crease as he stands on his toes but fails to put bat on ball
Sukhraj Singh, RHB, comes to the crease.
9.3 Sadaqat Ali to Amandeep Singh, BOWLED HIM! There's another twist to this one! Short in length around the off stump as Sheraz attempts a heave across the line. He misses out on making contact though as the ball crashes into the stumps to send him packing. Trentino Aquila are one wicket away from taking it to a Golden Ball!
Amandeep Singh b Sadaqat Ali 0(1b, 0x4,0x6)
9.3 Sadaqat Ali to Amandeep Singh, WIDE! NEARLY ANOTHER RUN OUT! Slants away wide of off stump on a full length as Amandeep reaches for it and throws his arms. He doesn't connect as the keeper puts in a dive to his right before Sheraz pulls his partner through. Amandeep is nearly run out as the keeper throws the ball to the bowler, who then fails to connect with his throw
Amandeep Singh, RHB, comes to the crease.
9.2 Sadaqat Ali to Jabrar Afzal, CAUGHT BEHIND! He has to walk back now! Length delivery outside the off stump and Jabrar has a go at it. All he manages is an edge that nestles into the keeper's gloves. This one continues to ebb and flow!
Sheraz Patel c Kamran Hussain b Sadaqat Ali 5(8b,0x4,0x6)
9.1 Sadaqat Ali to Jabrar Afzal, ANOTHER RUN OUT MAYBE? Oh it's all happening out there! Fulllength delivery on off stump. Jabrar stands tall to lift it over the inner ring towards long off as he charges back for the second. The bails are dislodged and he looks short of his ground here.
He is short...but it's the elbow of the keeper that removes the bails even as he parries the ball onto the base of the stumps!Oh my word what drama is this! Jabrar is safe!
Sadaqat Ali, [1.0-0-12-0] comes back into the attack.
End of a really eventful over where something happened almost every ball! They had a couple of run out chances but missed them both. The Stars are living dangerously here and this game is going down to the wire.

8.6 Jawad Ahmed to Sheraz Afzal, BEATEN! Full length delivery around leg stump. Sheraz clears his front leg and swings hard only to connect with thin air. Final over coming up!
8.5 Jawad Ahmed to Sheraz Afzal, DROPPED! OH DEAR! Low full toss well outside the off stump. Sheraz looks to loft it over the covers but it strikes him low on the bat. Spooned towards short cover who runs in with a lunge but grasses it
8.4 Jawad Ahmed to Sheraz Afzal, good length delivery on the pads. Sheraz tucks it around the corner behind square before the fielder hares in and prevents a run
8.3 Jawad Ahmed to Sheraz Afzal, STIFLED APPEAL! Length delivery just outside leg stump. Slants across Sheraz who stands tall and plays all around his tuck to wear it high on the thigh pads
