That will be all from this game at the Cartama Oval. It was a run-fest and we still cannot get over the intense ball-striking from both sides! For now, this is the pair of Pradeep and Bidipto taking your leave. Do join us for the final match of the day at 12 midnight which will be played under artificial lights. Keep following Sportskeeda!
Germany have made a bit of a mockery of the target! They have chased this down inside 9 overs for the loss of only 3 wickets without a half-century in the line-up!
Yes Norway helped them with some shabby fielding, including a drop catch and a half-chance, but the ball-striking from the Germans was just from another planet today!
Every batter on show struck at over 215 runs per 100 balls. Skipper Rohit Singh almost smashed a fifty in 15 balls! Shahid Afridi and he struck at well over 300.
Yorkers went missing from the fast bowlers and there were far too many pitched up deliveries from the spinners. But Muhammad Sher Sahak bowled with a slightly better economy of 11.00 RPO. The rest all went at over 15.00 RPO.
So Germany get their third straight win of the group while Norway suffer their second defeat of the competition.
8.4 Vinay Ravi to Shahid Afridi, SIX! GAME, SET AND MATCH! That was a blitzkrieg of a run chase from Germany, literally. Without breaking a sweat they have chased 155 with 8 deliveries to spare, unbelievable ball striking that. Short into the batter, Afridi swivels and dispatches it way over deep square-leg for a maximum to seal the deal!
8.3 Vinay Ravi to Shahid Afridi, SIX! BAM! Stupendous hit from Afridi, back of a length on the stumps. Afridi stands tall and powered it all the way over long-on ropes for a maximum. Just one hit away now Germany!
Fayaz Khan, RHB, is at the non-striker's end.
8.2 Vinay Ravi to Shahid Afridi, RUN-OUT! What was the need of stealing a bye there when Rohit was clearing them so easily over the ropes, he has to go. Length delivery on the leg-stump, Afridi swings and misses, through to the keeper. Rohit for some reason thought there was a bye, he kept running and Afridi never responds.
Rohit Singh run out (Khizer Ahmed/Vinay Ravi) 48 (14b, 2x4, 6x6)
8.1 Vinay Ravi to Rohit Singh, back of a length on the fourth stump, Rohit waits and cuts it to wide third-man for an easy single.
Vinay Ravi [1.0-0-23-0] comes back into the attack.
Rohit Singh has been batting on a different level altogether! But Sher Sahak has been pretty decent with his bowling today. Yes he too has gone for more than 20 but on the whole, his choice of length has been better than the rest.
