Turkey 132/6 (10) beat Bulgaria 74/6 (10) by 58 runs
Muhammad Fahad 34(14) | Gagandeep Singh 2-14(2) Kushaal Krishnakumar 44*(31) | Ali Turkmen 3-11(2)
That completes what is an absolutely dominant win by Turkey and they get their first win in this tournament! After putting up a massive total, their bowlers have come out and done the job for them! Chasing 133 runs, Bulgaria never really got going as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
It was their opener, Kushaal Krishnakumar, who watched all this unfold from the other as his partners got picked off one-by-one. However, he held his ground and scored a decent 44 runs. Although he played at a strike rate of under 100 for the majority of the innings, he has ensured that the net run-rate has not been affected as badly as it could have.
The regular hitters in Tahiri, Kevin and Manan Bashir couldn't get going today and the pressure of the total bogged them down. Credit to the Turkey bowlers - they stuck to their plans and bowled some pretty good lines and lengths, all while getting the ball to swing as well. They will certainly be pleased with their performance and will be eyeing a big Super Sunday to win this tournament.

9.6 Muhammad Turkmen to Dimo Nikolov, length ball on the fourth stump line, Dimo pulls that towards deep mid-wicket and the batters settle for a single. And that will be it!
9.5 Muhammad Turkmen to Kushaal Krishnakumar, slower length ball on the middle stump line, sliced over the mid-wicket region for a single.
9.4 Muhammad Turkmen to Kushaal Krishnakumar, SIX! BANG! Full and on the middle stump line, Kushaal shuffles across and sends that packing over the mid-wicket region for a huge maximum! Was in the slot and deserved the punishment!
9.3 Muhammad Turkmen to Kushaal Krishnakumar, slower full ball on the body, Kushaal looks to hoick it away but fails to make any connection whatsoever.
9.2 Muhammad Turkmen to Dimo Nikolov, length ball on the body, Nikolov looks to pull it away but fails to make any connection. He's struck on the body and the ball rolls into the leg side as the batters run a quick single.
9.1 Muhammad Turkmen to Dimo Nikolov, FOUR! SHOT! Length ball outside off, Dimo shuffles across and absolutely muscles that to the right of long on for a boundary!
