A much better batting effort from Danubian Kangaroos this time around than what it was in the morning! Thanks to runs from skipper Gabor Torok, Matty Ainsworth and Tom Wayman, they managed to salvage the bonus point and fell just 12 short of the Budapest Kings score.
The Kings gave away 11 runs as extras and could not pick up more than 5 wickets, but the runs they put on the board were more than enough in the end.
So with this win, the Kings go to 9 points while the Kangaroos go to 3 points. Both teams, from their 4 games thus far in Group A.

9.6 Dheeraj Gaikwad to Tom Wayman, FOUR RUNS! BUT BUDAPEST KINGS WIN. DANUBIAN KANGAROOS GET THE BONUS POINT. Good length ball on middle-stump. Swung away to wide long-on from the front foot and a misfield there gives away a boundary!
9.6 Dheeraj Gaikwad to Adam Gall, short and WIDE outside leg-stump. A miss of the pull shot and then a miss by the keeper gives away a bye.
9.5 Dheeraj Gaikwad to Adam Gall, full on the pads. The flick around the corner gets missed now. No leg-bye possible.
9.4 Dheeraj Gaikwad to Arthur Edwards, GONE! Full and slow around off-stump. A swing across the line from the front foot but a miscue here that goes straight to hand on the full at cover!
9.3 Dheeraj Gaikwad to Arthur Edwards, FOUR! Good length ball down the leg-side. Edwards makes room, comes down the track and inside-edges past the left of the keeper for a boundary!
9.2 Dheeraj Gaikwad to Tom Wayman, back of a length around off-stump. Lifted over the left of the bowler off the backfoot for a single.
9.1 Dheeraj Gaikwad to Tom Wayman, FOUR! Good length ball on off-stump. Worked away to the gap to the left of long-leg off the back foot for a boundary!
