So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentator, Raghav as we wrap up this exciting contest. However, there is a lot more cricket going on with the first Test between South Africa and West Indies being one of them. There are also four more contests lined up in the ECL today with the second game starting in a little over 15 minutes time. So, enjoy all those action!
MATCH OVER
Hornchuch win by five wickets
Independents 94/7 (10) Hornchuch 95/5 (9.5)
Adeel Malik 49 (20) | Ronnie Saunders 10 (7)
Matthew Stokes 2-9 | William Peatfield 1-11
OH! Edged and Hornchurch clinch a thriller with one ball to spare! They almost messed up a straight-forward game! Chasing 95 for victory, Hornchuch were in trouble early on as George Hankins and Chris Sains departed in the Powerplay itself. However, Adeel Malik took the match by storm as he smashed seven sixes to put Hornchuch in front. However, William Peatfield brought Independents into the game by removing Malik in the eighth over.
Just when the pressure was building on Hornchurch in the penultimate over, Anthony Stokes bowled a flighted delivery which was smashed over the fence by Ronnie Saunders. That strike turned out to be crucial as it brought the equation to less than run-a-ball. Yet, there was more drama as Jake Roussel followed up a dot ball with a wicket as Hornchuch suddenly needed four runs off two balls. This is when Luke Edwards edged it to the third fence and took his side over the line!
10.0
9.5 Jake Roussel to Luke Edwards, FOUR! GAME! SET! MATCH! Slow, full and outside off, Edwards swings outside and gets a thick outside edge past the keeper. The ball runs away to the fence and Hornchurch are home!

OH!! The twists and turns continue in this game! Ronnie Saunders has holed out to deep covers here!
9.4 Jake Roussel to Ronnie Saunders, OUT! Late drama at Cartama Oval and it's game on! On length and outside off, Saundrers fails to anticipate the change of pace. He comes down the wicket to advance an off drive but this one spirals off the top edge for the deep point fielder to come forward and complete the catch.
