REPORT: Pakistan CC prevail in dramatic fashion at European Cricket Series Vienna
Austria CC Wien, Indian CC Vienna, Pakistan CC, Salzburg CC and Vienna Afghan CC featured over five days in 24 fast-paced T10 matches from the picturesque Seebarn Cricket Ground in Austria. Every game was live streamed worldwide on the European Cricket Network and on FanCode - a multi-sport aggregator platform, from the house of Dream Sports for the Indian Sub-Continent.
Pakistan CC prevailed in spectacular fashion to win the European Cricket Series Vienna after a dramatic collapse by Salzburg in the Final.
Pakistan posted a competitive 122, powered by MVP and Player of the Tournament Bilal Zalmai’s brilliant 85 off 33 balls.
At 94-3 inside 6 overs, the situation still looked mightily promising for Salzburg. However, a collapse of England 1990s proportions soon had Salzburg slipping to defeat as they lost six wickets for just five runs in 14 balls.
With the damage done, a shell-shocked Salzburg outfit closed 17 runs short in the face of a battling display in the field from Pakistan CC. At crunch time, talented slow bowlers Abdullah Akbarjan (2-6 off 2 overs) and Sikander Hayat (3-2 from 6 balls) completely turned the game on its head.
Ultimately, after finishing top of the group stage standings, Pakistan CC proved deserved European Cricket Series Vienna champions!
