Commentary

This is it from the live coverage of this game with Kuwait winning it by 6 Wickets. That’s it for today from myself Nikhil Kalla alongside my co-commentator Ayan Chatterjee with our scorer/analyst Ashok. See you soon again with more games to follow till then stay safe.

Yasin Patel, Player of the Match: "I am thankful to God. The wicket was good and the pitch was gripping early on and so happy to get the advantage of the powerplay. My role model is Ravindra Jadeja. I love Jaddu's arm ball and wicket-to-wicket and admire him. The captain backs me all the time and I am here doing well because of him. Yes, our self-belief has increased and I am happy to see the batters do their job and get us the win. Yes, we will see the next game and by God's grace hope the result goes in our favor of us."

Mohammed Aslam, Kuwait Skipper:"It was a great win, and am happy to be where we are. We are the lowest ranked side. To get two wins was great for us. Told the boys to take wickets and keep the runs down as well. The target we thought had to be chased down in 10 overs and glad we did it inside 8 overs. Will watch the next game with bathed breath."

Amjad Mahboob, Singapore Skipper: "It was a low score with the bat. Credit to Kuwait, they outclassed us in all departments. There are positives for us, young boys tried their best and we will improve going further. Just told them to bowl well. The pitch was slow, and tough but not that tough."

Time for the post-match presentation ceremony with Ajay Mehra.

NIKHIL: So, we are done here with Kuwait winning in some style, as they chase down the target of 104 runs in just 8 overs.

Singapore started a bit cautiously as they scored 31 for the loss of 3 wickets in the first powerplay. Dutta, Chandramohan, Gaznavi and Dixit did not stay for long out in the middle as the top order departed in the powerplay on a score of 31 and Dixit soon followed them on 40. Prakash showed some resistance as he scored 29 runs that helped the team to reach the total they have.

For Kuwait, Yasin Patel was on fire today as he removed 4 key wickets right at the top. Shiraz Khan then 3 wickets. Monib took a couple of wickets right at the end.

In reply to the target set by Singapore, Kuwait started in the best manner taking out the sting of any havoc in a low-scoring encounter.

Ireland Woman managed to score 45 runs in the first powerplay losing just 1 wicket. Sandaruwan and Bhavsar batted well as they scored 27 runs for the first wicket partnership in just 12 deliveries. Sandaruwan played a good inning of 28 runs that helped them chase this mediocre total in just 9 overs. Monib went nuts as soon as he arrived as he managed to score 32 runs in just 10 deliveries.

For Singapore, Bhaskaran took 3 wickets, while Akshay Puri scalped a single wicket.

Kuwait wins this game in the blink of an eye. Kuwait has helped themselves massively as they now have climbed above the Hong Kong side in the table with a better NRR. The dream continues for Kuwait.
