That's curtains down for our coverage for this match, folks! Stick around and switch tabs for more cricketing action. For now, this is the pair of Pradeep and Rudransh taking your leave!
Sweden recovers from a light scare at the end to seal a clinical win to kick off their campaign. Hungary lose their second match of the tournament!
Despite losing Darapureddy early in the first over, Hungary reached 38/1 in the powerplay, ahead of where Sweden were in the first innings. Technically-superb Ravindran smashed the pacers and Shukla all around the park in the next three overs to keep them in the game, albeit without much support from Ahuja.
The pressure eventually got to him as he holed one out in the second over of the spin from Taqawi, who then got rid of Ahuja as well. Shukla returned in the next over and took out the two new batters, pushing Hungary to 90/5 in seven overs. The match looked done and dusted when Taqawi landed another double-blow in the ninth over but Prashar played a brilliant cameo to steal 24 runs against him.
With 26 needed off the last over against Zahid, the non-striker took a single but Prashar missed a wild swing on the second ball and helplessly saw his team crumble to a 19-run defeat.

9.6 Zabi Zahid to Sanjay Kumar, OUT! HOLES OUT AT LONG-ON! THAT IS THAT! Wickets fell in a heap again for Hungary and they fell short by 19 in the end, but take no credit away from their batters. Sweden finish a comprehensive victory and they register a win of the first game. Back of a length on the off-stump, Sanjay hammered it straight to long-on.

9.5 Zabi Zahid to Mueez ul Hassan, OUT! PICKED OUT DEEP MID-WICKET! Hassan in search of another maximum, perishes. Length delivery on the middle and leg, Hassan whacked it straight down the throat of the fielder.

9.4 Zabi Zahid to Mueez ul Hassan, FOUR! Short and just outside the off-stump, Hassan swings and slashes it over backward point, runs away and finds the ropes.
9.3 Zabi Zahid to Abhitesh Prashar, yorker length on the off-stump, Prashar drilled it all along the turf to wide long-off for just a single.
Ah, what an anti-climax!
9.2 Zabi Zahid to Abhitesh Prashar, OH! That's a dot ball, crucial for Sweden. Back of a length on the fourth stump, Prashar has a wild swipe and misses.
