Key Points

Still early days in the tournament but the teams won't be dropping their intensity one bit. Taking an early lead in the tournament can help tackle with any unexpected scenario in the future. WZC and ACC, both have the capability to punch above their belt and they will be looking to show their mettle to the audience and the fans. Star players feature across both the outfits and therefore in nutshel, this should be a contest to watch out for.

Venue Details and Pitch Report

Match Timings: 13 Jul, 03:30 PM IST

Match Venue: ,

Umpires:

Pitch Report: Second match of the tournament and it looks like pitch is suitable for batting. Although, the opening batsmen still need to give respect to the new ball for an over or two. The outfield gets progressively faster here and consequently its a good news for the strokemakers of the teams. Expect the teams winning the toss to bat first and pile a total around 100 on the scoreboard.

Weather Prediction: The skies will stay clear on Monday in Gothenburg and temperature will linger around the 15-20 degree celsius mark. The SUn will be out and that should make the playing conditions pleasant for a game of cricket.

Expert Comment

Abhinav Singh

ACC will be playing their second game of the day and will be better accustomed to the conditions. As for WCC, they will be getting a first taste of the exciting T10 format. With the likes of Muhibullah Kharoti and Niaz Mohammed in their fold, the comepetion should be indeed gripping. WZC will be looking to start off the tournament on a positive note

Commentary

WZC WIN! S Haq finishes off in style with a SIX! First win of the competition for WZC. S Haq, What a player! First, he took a hat-trick and then hit a 11-ball 13 to take his team over the line. Mohammad Askari was the top-scorer for them with 24 runs, while even Shirzad took three wickets with the ball. All in all, a brilliant T10 game.

That's it from match number 2 of this competition. This is me, Vinay Chhabria and my colleague, AbhinavSingh signing off, Goodbye!

9.5 A Meer to S Haq, bowled in the slot down the leg and the skipper Haq hangs back and smashes it across the long leg region for a gargantuan SIX to seal the match for AMC! That was a special shot from Haq! And the players are running across the ground to celebrate!

9.4 A Meer to M Askari, down the track, Askari gets a healthy edge and the ball rolls to the third man where the fielder keeps the batsmen to a single. Place your bets fellas! SIX or a wicket?

9.3 A Meer to M Askari, short and the batsman dances down and hits it to the deep point area for a double!

9.2 A Meer to M Askari, wide outside off and a big swing and a miss! OHH! Pressure!

9.1 A Meer to M Askari, in the slot and played straight down to the long on fielder but a poor throw allows an extra run to Askari!

WZC are 62/4 after 9 overs. Need 9 runs from the last six!

8.6 Z Qarebullah to S Haq, slower one wide outside off and the batsman misses it! HOW crucial that miss can be?!

8.5 Z Qarebullah to M Askari, slower ball on the fifth stump, Askari comes down but gets a top edge to third man for a single

8.5 Z Qarebullah to M Askari, WIDE down the leg

8.4 Z Qarebullah to S Haq, played it straight to the long on for a single

8.3 Z Qarebullah to M Askari, short and wide, Askari dances down and hts it hard but ends up lobbing it. The fielder comes under it and makes a meal of the catch!

8.2 Z Qarebullah to S Haq, slow yet again and Haq puts it to the short long leg region for a single

8.1 Z Qarebullah to S Haq, slower and a loopy delivery, Haq manages to put it across to midwicket for a couple

WZC are 55/4 after 8 overs. Need 16 runs in 12 balls.

7.6 I Sabawoon to M Askari, another fulltoss and the batsman hits it tow ide long-off area. Till the time fielder cuts it around, the batsmen come back for a couple

7.5 I Sabawoon to M Askari, fulltoss and Askari has smacked the daylights out of that ball. MASSIVE SIX over deep point area!

7.4 I Sabawoon to M Askari, short a and the batsman misses it while hoicking it the leg side

7.3 I Sabawoon to M Askari, in the slot and Askari manages to put through the cover boundary for a four

7.2 I Sabawoon to M Askari, full and outside off, the batsman misses it comprehensively
