REPORT: Falco and Catalunya CC locked at head of affairs while Raval have Sporting chance at European Cricket Series Barcelona

Week two of a three week European Cricket Series Barcelona extravaganza got underway under cloudy skies on Monday.

Group B pacesetters Falco maintained their 100 per cent record after posting 169 - the highest score of the competition so far against Joves Units with opener Adeel Sarwar blasting 75 off 23 balls.

Yasir Ali and Muhammad Yasin both chipped in with bat and ball as ECL19 semi-finalists Catalunya CC kept pace with Falco with a resounding victory over Gracia. Falco currently edge Catalunya CC at the top of the standings by virtue of a superior net run rate.

Raval Sporting kept themselves in the hunt with a comfortable victory over Joves Units, who slipped to back to back defeats on Monday. After restricting Joves to 96, star man Ishan Patel racked up his second man of the match award, blasting 59 off 24 balls to take his side serenely to their target with 16 balls remaining.

The last action of the day served up the best finish as Hira CC Sabadell got off the mark with a win against winless Gracia. Seemingly home and hosed, Hira needed just two runs to win with four wickets remaining and three overs to play with. However, Hira proceeded to lose three wickets in the eighth over to send the nerves jangling. With the last man in and the scores tied, a couple of catches went down as Hira scrambled to their first victory, leaving Gracia still searching for that elusive first win.

Tune into the live action from Barcelona Monday to Friday from * 0900 CEST * 0700 GMT * 1230pm IST.
