REPORT: MATCHDAY 1 – Watan Zalmi win twice and slick Seaside success at Dream11 European Cricket Series Gothenburg

Dream11 European Cricket Series Gothenburg kicked off under beautiful blue skies in Sweden on Monday.

Winning the toss and batting first, Älmhult racked up an impressive 101 on the back of Asif Meer’s 48 off 20. In reply, Seaside’s Rubal Pathak (39 off 16) and Mokhtar Ghulami (33 off 12) found the boundary with ease and the target was reeled in with 14 balls to spare.

Älmhult faced Watan Zalmi next up. Again batting first, Älmhult would have been disappointed with only 70, 31 fewer than they had managed in their opening dig. Only Asif Meer passed 20 with three wickets apiece for S Abdul Haq, Sabaun Shirzad and Eywazollah Raisi bowling out Älmhult with a ball remaining. Watan Zalmi lost early wickets in the chase and things were not looking too bright at halfway. However, Watan Zalmi refused to buckle and Mohammad Askari (24 off 18) and Abdul Haq regrouped. The skipper Haq hit the penultimate ball for six to seal the win, amid scenes of great joy on the sidelines.

In back-to-back matches, Watan Zalmi won the toss and chose to bat against Hisingen. Taimur Khan with 25 off 16 helped Watan Zalmi post 74. In reply, Hisingen fell behind the run rate early and never got going. Watan Zalmi’s strong bowling attack held a vice like grip on the game with Niaz Mohammad, Waleed Ilyas and Taimur Khan all taking a wicket but going at less than 6 runs and over. Accordingly, Hisingen made a meal of the chase and closed 13 runs short.

Both Hisingen and Älmhult were looking for their first victory in the final game of day one so something had to give. Again, batting first, 79 was an improvement on their previous outing, but no Älmhult batsman was able to go past 20. Chaitanya Kilari took a couple of wickets, while the miserly Praveen Kumar conceded just four runs from his allocation. In reply, you could say that Hisingen timed their chase to perfection. Opener Aritra Nag batted throughout for 30 off 30, while Chaitanya Kilari hit successive twos to take his side to victory off the final ball of the innings.
