Asalam-O-Alykum,
Today was forecasted to rain later on in the evening and it did rain in the night. Well, days are getting shorter and shorter day by day that's why we have been changing match starting time from the beginning of the tournament. In the beginning of the tournament the match starting time was 6:00 PM, then it changed to 5:35 PM, and now it is 5:15 PM. Teams came late in the league round matches it was alright, but now semi-final rounds are started it is really critical for the teams to come on time and be prepared for anything, such as rain. Today was 5th Semi-Final between T-Park and Tyros, it was a do and die match for both teams. But the only difference was that T-Park were prepared and came before time and on the other hand Tyros' team members came one by one. So, as a result disadvantage went to Tyros and Tournament Management decided to reduce two overs from Tyros' innings since the grace time was 5:15 PM and they arrived at 5:45 PM. T-Park won the toss and decided to bat first and played very good against quality bowling. They lost quick wickets but every time they settled down. Wahaj and Umair played really well and helped to take his team to strong total of 209. Unluckily Today wasn't a day for Tyros, it was the same team who made 257 runs in 20 overs against Gateway 11 yesterday, but today they didn't even make 150 runs. They had very strong batting line, such as Rahat who made 158 in just two matches couldn't save his team today. The two overs that were reduced, in the end didn't make any difference, even if they had to play for 20 overs, because at the end of 18 overs they made 130 runs. Today's man of the match went to Wahaj for his well deserve 50 and some couple of good wickets. Now lets see, Tyros still have a chance if EEMZ Brothers beats T-Park tomorrow and if T-Park's run rate is lower than Tyros', they will play final with EEMZ Brothers. Man of the match went to Wahat who made 52 runs and took 3 wickets.
