Istanbul KSK won by 59 runs
Rabee Ur Rahman 12(11) | Murad Ozbek 3/5(2)
What a performance from the Instanbul KSK. After an impressive batting performance, posting 112, the onus was on the bowlers to rise to the occasion and eventually, it was a clinical performance from them, winning the game for Istanbul by 59 runs.
Rabee Ur Rahman was the top scorer with 12 off 11 deliveries and that was the only double-digit score in the innings. Murad Ozbek had a brilliant day at the office, bagging a hat-trick which never really allowed Pleven to get going Rifat Hossain and Apoorv Mishra struck a boundary each but those were few and far between as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
The boundaries never really came at a rate which they needed and it was basically substandard batting from most of the batters. They knew they can't chase this down and decided to bat out the remainder of the overs. It was a polished performance from the Istanbul KSK and eventually went on to win by 59 run

9.6 Zohaib Iqbal to Arun Joy, THAT WILL BE THAT! ISTANBUL KSK GET THE WIN RATHER CONVINCINGLY! Good length ball on off-stump. Pushed off the back foot to short cover for no run.
9.5 Zohaib Iqbal to Zain Mustafa, STUMPED! Fuller outside off-stump. A swing and a miss from the front foot but the batter did not make an attempt to get back in the crease with urgency. The keeper, in the meantime, threw the stumps down and hit the stumps direct! The replay showed that the foot was not in the crease at the point of the bails getting dislodged!
9.4 Zohaib Iqbal to Suhaid Puthanpurayil, full on leg-stump. Suhaid stays leg-side of the ball and drives it down to long-off for a single.
9.3 Zohaib Iqbal to Suhaid Puthanpurayil, good length ball outside off-stump. Another swing through the line on the back foot but a miss! Dot ball.
9.2 Zohaib Iqbal to Suhaid Puthanpurayil, good length ball outside off-stump. A swish and a miss by backing away. No run.
9.1 Zohaib Iqbal to Suhaid Puthanpurayil, good length ball on off-stump. A play and a miss this time but the leg-bye is not quite on.
