Istanbul KSK won by 10 wickets (with 21 deliveries to spare)
Ismet Turken 28*(18) | Hesh Moghaddam 17*(21) Amal Thomas 0/11(1.3) | Rifat Hossain 0/11(1)
The target of 46 was never going to pose any challenge to the batters of Istanbul KSK and they ended up winning by 10 wickets in the 7th over as the opening duo of Ismet Turkmen and Hesh Moghaddam batted sensibly and ensured that their side won convincingly with 21 deliveries to spare. Istanbul didn't go with their regular opening duo and instead sent the two out in the middle to get a hit out in the middle.
They took their time initially and never really looked to blast their way and reach the target. It was all about finding the games and nudging it around for singles besides finding the occasional boundaries. Turkmen was the aggressor among the two, eventually remaining unbeaten on 28 off 18 deliveries. Hesh Moghaddam didn't get going but with the target being well below par, it didn't matter much.
It was he who struck the winning runs with a flat batted pull to make it 3 out of 3 for Istanbul. Meanwhile, Pleven lost their 12th straight game and they would be dejected as nothing went their way this season. The bowlers did well up front but with the score they were defending, it was always going to be a tall order.
6.3 Amal Thomas to Hesh Moghaddam, FOUR! Short delivery, Hesh rocks back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket where the fielder tries to stop the ball with his foot but he fails to as it reaches the fence. So, Istanbul KSK register a dominant 10-wicket victory!
6.2 Amal Thomas to Hesh Moghaddam, length delivery, Hesh goes deep and defends it behind point. No run
6.2 Amal Thomas to Hesh Moghaddam, short and down leg, Hesh tries to rock back and pull but he misses it. WIDE called!
6.1 Amal Thomas to Hesh Moghaddam, short on off, Hesh pulls it to mid-on. No run
That's the 6th over done and dusted and Istanbul are just 3 runs away from the victory target.
