As was expected, Al Fatah's batters put the CKR bowlers to the sword and won the game quite comfortably. This win will give Fatah a lot of confidence ahead of their next game, against Limassol Zalmi, which will also be the last game of the day.
Fatah were the stronger side in this game and managed to pick up the win quite comfortably. Their bowlers, however, will feel that they conceded far too many runs for their liking in the first place.
That is something that Fatah can improve, as can their fielding ahead of their next game, which is quite a crucial one. CKR, on the other hand, will hope to improve upon their batting.
8.1 Denuwan Prarthana to Umar Farooq, AND THAT IS THE MATCH TO AL FATEH! Short around off-stump. Crunched through point off the back foot for a boundary to pick up a fine victory!
Dilruwan Prarthana is back into the attack.
Al Fatah are almost there!
