DENMARK BEAT FINLAND BY 26 RUNS. Saran Aslam 46 | Eshan Karimi (4/17) Anique Uddin 36 | Parveen Kumar (3/12)
Denmark edged Finland out in a closely contested encounter here at the Cartama Oval in Cartama, Spain. Finland tried their best to come close to the total that Denmark set them, but eventually fell short, being bowled out in less than nine overs. The Danish batsmen did reasonably well, but their bowlers outperformed them completely.
Finland had very little to show for their efforts, and this will hurt them tremendously. While Danish captain Taranjit Bharaj goes home a happy man, Finland's skipper Nathan Collins will have a lot of questions to answer. Finland's Peter Gallagher and Amjad Sher scored twenties, but they were not enough by any means. This game proved that spin bowling is not dead, and in fact, can hold the key to any successful defence in the middle overs.
So this is us- Mohul and Rajarshi- signing off from this match. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, ciao!
8.5 Eshan Karimi to Peter Gallagher, OUT, bowled! Fires this one right into the blockhole, Gallagher was least expecting something like that, he tries to get his bat down to it, doesn't make contact and Karimi wraps up the match! The Danes prevail by a comfortable margin of 26 runs!
Peter Gallagher b Eshan Karimi 28 (13 balls)
8.4 Eshan Karimi to Mohammad Asaduzzaman, cut away towards point, and Gallagher is back on strike!
Mohammad Asaduzzaman, RHB, is the last man to the crease for Finland.
8.3 Eshan Karimi to Raaz Mohammad, OUT, bowled! Raaz tries to repeat the stroke from the previous delivery, only this time, the ball was pitched a lot fuller and straighter, rushes through his attempted sweep and crashes onto the off-stump!
Raaz Mohammad b Eshan Karimi 4 (2 balls)
8.2 Eshan Karimi to Raaz Mohammad, FOUR, Mohammad sweeps across the line flamboyantly to this delivery well outside off, finds the gap at deep mid-wicket, nice way to get off the blocks!
Raaz Mohammad, RHB, is the new batter.
8.1 Eshan Karimi to Parveen Kumar, OUT, Parveen Kumar's short trying to go for an improbable second! Has a swing at this full ball, gets an inside edge towards deep fine, the fielder at short fine, Sawmy, chases, picks up the ball, fires it in, all in one motion, and ends up hitting the stumps at the striker's end as Parveen was barely halfway there, trying to complete a second run!
Parveen Kumar run out (Raizul Sawmy) 2 (3 balls)
The last couple of overs coming up. Will Finland be able to snatch an unlikely victory from the Danes? 33 runs is not a big ask in two overs. The men in red will try their best to prevent that from happening!
