This team is on a roll! Third match in a row we have had PIC Badalona come out on top in a run chase that went down to the wire. A good start was always going to be imperative. And the captain took responsibility on his shoulders.
Muhammad Babar smashed 32 in the first over to set the tone. However, Old Victorians did come back into the game by picking up some crucial wickets. Then, a quickfire 6-ball-30 from Sikandar Ali took the momentum away from them.
Though, OV kept on chipping with wickets and took the game into the last over. James Sumerauer returned amazing figures of 2-0-8-2. But in the end, it was Sebastiaan Braat who kept his cool and took Pak I Care Badalona over the finishing line.
9.3 James Duckett to Sebastiaan Braat, SIXXXXXX and he finishes it off in style! What a brilliant chase and it's sealed with the typical PICB shot - a no-look thump over deep mid-wicket. Seals the highest chase in ECL!
JUST ENOUGH TO CLEAR A JUMPING MAN AT LONG ON!! 6 runs to win off 4 balls now.
9.2 James Duckett to Sebastiaan Braat, SIX! MATTER OF INCHES! Flat outside off, and he drags it over long on where the fielder is just a step ahead and doesn't bring it back despite a big leap! What an important shot.
9.1 James Duckett to Sebastiaan Braat, flat in the blockhole outside off, drilled to long off and he rejects the single
Captain James Duckett [1-0-24-1] has the responsibility of bowling the last over on his shoulders.
12 runs to win off the last over. This is a nail-biter! James Sumerauer has been a star for OV today. Finishes with excellent figures of 2-0-8-2.
