REPORT: Falco close on Catalunya CC with Pak Montcada also unbeaten at European Cricket Series Barcelona

Falco joined Catalunya CC at the top of the standings as European Cricket Series Barcelona Group B action continued on Thursday.

Falco won a hard-fought game against Men in Blue to assume top spot by virtue of a super net run rate ahead of Catalunya CC, who can also boast two wins from two.

Spanish international Awais Ahmed won his second man of the match award of the tournament as Falco scraped home off the final ball.

Raval Sporting started their campaign with an impressive victory. An inspired Ishan Patel bagged 4-10 as Raval dismantled highly-fancied Gracia for a paltry 57, before reaching the target for no loss inside seven overs.

However, Raval Sporting were promptly dismissed for only 50 against Pak Montcada, who despite making rather heavy weather of the chase, got home with 17 balls to spare.

Men in Blue also racked up a first victory by 10 runs against winless Hira CC Sabadell with Shankar Kaligatla setting the standard with 24 off 10 balls.

 

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