That's it from us for this match today. This is Nikhil Kulkarni, along with my colleague, Arjun Bhalla, signing off. Do tune in for our 2nd match coverage between Pune Devils and Delhi Bulls which is starting in a moment!!! Take care!!
Nikhil: Maratha Arabians have been struggling with the same issue in their past 3 matches. They haven't been able to put huge totals on the board. Their batting is lot dependent on Shakoor and Hafeez. They will have to work on their batting line up to win the next few matches as a lot of their chances now depend on the performance of their batting line up.
Sohail Tanvir is the man of the match!! He took 3 wickets in his 2 overs conceding 22 runs!!!
Nikhil: Ahmadzai bowled well for Arabians taking 2 wickets in his 2 overs and giving away 21 runs. Arabians didn't have enough runs on the board!!! It was easy for Qalandars batsmen to chase this down. They had a might batting line up and this total didn't bother them.
Nikhil: Qalandars were favorites to win this one after Arbains could manage only 101 runs on the board. They lost Tom Banton early in a bizarre runout. Sharjeel and Sohail Akhtar continued to score quickly. Sohail Akhtar was dismissed by a terrific yorker from Sompal Kampi, after conceding three sixes in the over. Akhtar played a little cameo scoring 20 off 11 balls, hitting 2 sixes and a boundary. Sharjeel got out immediately in the next over after scoring 28 off 16 balls. Ben Dunk came into bat when Qalandars needed 41 runs from 33 balls. Qalandars were losing wicket at the other end but Dunk held it together. He smashed 26 off 12 balls to finish this chase off. The low total meant that Qalandars didn't have to struggle through the chase as the openers had done a good job of scoring at a quick run rate.
8.1 Ishan Malhotra to Ben Dunk
4 FOUR!!! Dunk has done it with a boundary!!! Qalandars remain unbeaten in this tournament!!! Back of a length ball outside off and Dunk has smashed it to the deep extra cover boundary!!!
