... TIME FOR THE PRESENTATIONS ...
It was a roller coaster for Morrisville Samp Army with the bat and with the ball as well. They started off well with the bat but were not able to finish well, getting at least 10 runs less than they would have liked. They started off very poor with the ball but still managed to get 7 wickets in the last 6 overs of the match. Hard day for the bowlers and the batters as well but they will surely come back with a better performance in the playoffs.
With that, the Ajman Bolts win the game with 3 wickets in hand still and 10 balls remaining, thanks to the brilliant start from Alex Hales who got his FIFTY in just 16 deliveries as the opener of the team. It was then a very easy chase for the Ajman Bolts but the batters kept losing the wickets and brought it upon themselves to finish it an over ahead of the required 7 overs mark to beat Delhi Bulls in the net run rate. Unable to do that, Ajman Bolts still managed to get a good win off this game.

DRAMA! Ajman Bolts have won the game finally! Quicker ball around the middle stump, Dunith Wellalage tucks it wide of short fine leg and runs off for a quick single where the fielder is quick enough to pick the ball and hit the non-striker's end with a direct hit. The umpires refer it upstairs, and the replay shows Dunith Wellalage just reaches the crease in time. He survives and his team gets a three-wicket win!
Dunith Wellalage walks out to bat now.
OUT! CAUGHT! The President tries to finish things off but holes out instead. Sharafuddin Ashraf comes in from around the wicket angle and pitches the ball up on the stumps. Mohammad Nabi goes for a wild swing of the bat and hits the ball straight up. Charith Asalanka runs to his left from deep mid-wicket and grabs a good catch in the end.

SIX! Superb effort in the deep by Qais Ahmad but its SIX in the end! Rohan Mustafa pitches the ball up on the off stump. Mohammad Nabi slogs the ball up in the air towards long on where Qais Ahmad puts in a good jump to grab the ball but goes outside the boundary line before he could get rid of the ball in hand.
