Match summary: Marsa CC beat American University of Malta by 7 wickets.
It went into the last over but make no mistake, that was a clinical run chase by Marsa CC. From start to finish, they looked in complete control, despite having to chase well over 100 and with all momentum on the opposition's side at the halfway mark.
Nowell Khosla took a bit of time initially but it was Noman Mehar, the hero with the ball, who did the star turn with the bat as well. Tearing into Jitesh Patel, he ensured that Marsa ransacked 26 off the second over to set the perfect tone for the chase. So much so that despite his dismissal, the asking rate never got out of bounds and Marsa were always on track.
Khosla then took control of the situation and switched gears in a seamless manner with Niraj Khanna for company. This was after Fanyan Mughal powered along to a cameo of his own and if anything, this summed up the chase - it was a collective effort infused with useful contributions all the way through rather than one man having to do the heavylifting.
AUM's bowlers stretched it into the final over and took it close but it was always a matter of one big hit that would close the contest for good. Khanna finished it in style and remained unbeaten to see his side past the finish line, giving Marsa the perfect start to their campaign in this year's ECS T10 Malta.
A fitting end to the chase and Khanna seals it in grand style. What a start to their campaign for Marsa CC! This ought to get them up and running and add a spring to their step as they go forward!
9.3 Abhishek Prajapati to Niraj Khanna, SIX! The tension was building but not anymore. This is a length delivery angling in, Khanna wallops it over deep mid-wicket for a flat six. Marsa get off to a winning start as they beat American University of Malta by 7 wickets
9.2 Abhishek Prajapati to Muhammad Suleman, yorker length delivery on middle stump, Suleman digs it to long-on for a run
9.1 Abhishek Prajapati to Niraj Khanna, fuller delivery outside off-stump, squeezed uppishly to the sweeper cover but they settle for a single
Oh hello! Khanna pulls out of his stance but it seems like one of the fielders has duly pointed out that AUM had an extra fielder outside the inner circle. Great spot that and the change has been made!
Abhishek Prajapati [1.0-0-3-1] to bowl the final over of the innings
This is still on folks! It's not done yet and pressure can do funny things. Marsa CC require 7 off the last over. Dare we say those two words - Golden Ball?
