Austria managed to wrap this series up and now hold an unassailable 4-2 lead. They will go into the last match of the series, supposed to be played later tonight, with a lot of changes to ring in. They coasted over Malta for a comfortable win here, and will be extremely proud of their performance. Klair Kailash and Armaan Randhawa made easy work of te target put up by Malta, and ensured that they did not have any hiccups while trying to chase it. Although the two of them retired out simultaneously, the game was well within their reach and skipper Razmal Shigwal ensured the victory for them by hitting the winning runs. Earlier in the day, Baseer Khan had a fantastic day with the ball in hand, claiming 2/15 in his quota of two overs. All in all, Austria were the better side in this game.
