So, that will be all from this match in Malta. The final game of the day is coming up in just a bit over half-an-hour. So, do catch up on that by switching tabs and joining us. For now, this is the pair of Pragadeesh and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda.
It was a pretty interesting innings as the run chase went very much down to the wire, but, a few stutters here and there and those two top overs from Jahidul Islam ensured that Bugibba Blasters would end up on the winning side!
Jahidul bowled two overs for only 5 runs! Danish Siddique went at under 9.00 RPO and picked up a couple of wickets. Anurag Tripathi's final over took care of the final surge that could have been, as he picked up 2 wickets, giving away only 3 runs when he had 23 runs to defend.
Fielding too was a lot better in the second innings than in the first. But then, Red Stars made a really nice effort of it in their very first game.
They need one of their batters to get to fifty and a few more contributions of more than 30. But, they are a team which should only get better as the tournament progresses.
