Nicosia Tigers 122/ 3 in 9.2 overs Rashidul Hassan 43(23) | Manzoor Ali 1/26 Zeeshan Mahmoud 25*(7) | Sehran Ahmed 1/22
The Tigers have romped home with 7 wickets remaining and this has been one clinical performance from them! They started off on a really good note as they kept at par with the required rate in the powerplay. Roman and Rashidul got them off to a great start. Post the dismissal of Roman, Jaman joined Hassan and they took them close to the finish line. In the end, it was Zeeshan Mahmoud who came in and went berserk from the very first ball. He played a belligerent cameo of 25 from just 7 balls and saw his side home comfortably in the end.
The Napa Royal Kings looked to be in control till the fourth over but they started to loose the plot from there onwards. The lack of wickets meant that they couldn't not build up the pressure on the batters. Towards the end, the gamble of giving the 8th over to Sehran Ahmed cost them big time as he went for 22 runs in that one. Overall, it was a disappointing bowling effort from the Kings and they've a lot to reflect on.

Excellent penultimate over for the Tigers and they're just 3 runs away from victory! It should only be a formality for them from here on.
