Rassie van der Dussen, a man who had the unenviable task of replacing the retired AB de Villiers in both the South African lineup and here as well proved his doubters wrong in the best way possible with runs on the board. Having only played in this game owing to Ben Stokes' untimely injury, he scored 140 off only 119 balls by first accumulating and then later cutting loose to punish the Harriers' bowlers at the death. Mitchell Starc's 2 for 54 off 10 overs were the best figures of the day on an absolute road where Richie Berrington and Daryl Mitchell also made merry with scores in the 80s, as the Highlanders posted a sizeable 348 off their 50 overs. Needless to say, no team has ever chased down so high a total in this league's history.

But the Harriers came dangerously close to pulling off what would have been the most sensational heist that could have done even Sergio Marquina proud. Right from the very start of their innings they batted with the intent to chase down their 349-run target, with skipper David Warner leading from the front with a blazing 87 off just 63 balls in a quickfire 159-run partnership with Colin Ackermann, who himself scored 113 off 102 balls. Timely breakthroughs from Safyaan Sharif, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah however, along with a couple of needless run outs swung things back in the Highlanders favor.

222225.jpg


Still, one last mad dash by Pieter Seelaar in his final Europa Cup game where he brought up a maiden fifty off just 27 balls saw them come within 10 runs of their target which seemed quite implausible at one stage. Ultimately, it wasn't to be as Mitchell Starc was cleaned up by Alasdair Evans in the final over with the Harriers basically a couple of hits away from victory. So ended the defence of their Season IV title at long last. Season III finalists Highland Barbarians and Malahide Mavericks shall now contest the right to play Continental United in the final.

Oh, that tingled me in my unmentionables. Pieter Seelaar was a man on a mission. After doing everything we could've done to book our place in the second qualifier, Seelar damn near undid all of it in the blink of an eye. Mad, mad stuff. Naseem the Dream's final over saved our collective hineys.

Explanation on pitch types

:bwl::down: Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
:left::right: Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
:ar::up: Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
:bat::left: Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
:bwl::up: Green - A lot of movement on offer early on, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.
:ar::left: Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way
:right::left: Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
:down::down: Poor - Uneven bounce and a huge amount of turn on offer for spinners. Expect a slow hard grind where most batsmen rarely score at above 3 an over.

Not even kidding, when I was thinking of some potential leagues that I could start here when I'm somehow free enough (which might not happen), a combined Scot-Ire-Dutch league was first on my mind. I thought nobody is doing one like that. To think someone actually already had that idea and it's already on full flow :flush:

Only difference was I would have had the players from all 3 nations mixed in all the teams, rather than a few full-irish or full-scot teams.

But he was working his way towards it! Dre Russ sent the ball flying out of Sophia Gardens with a monstrous hit off Evans! This doesn't bode well at all for the Highlanders with Malahide needing another 58 to win off the last 54 balls.

MS Dhoni got the faintest of tickles whilst trying to guide the ball down to third man for a single. Yet another crucial breakthrough provided by the Highlanders trump card Naseem Shah, who now boasts 12 wickets from only 5 matches. Is that going to be Dhoni's final Europa Cup innings?

Unfortunately for Malahide, he tried to go for one six too many and was caught at long off by Cross! Still, you can never discount Malahide whilst Rashid Khan is still out there and their long list of power-hitters is still far from crossed off. 46 off 42 balls..

By the time of his dismissal for a turgid 5 off 17 balls, Malahide's required rate had skyrocketed to almost 12 an over with them needing 35 off the last 18 balls. Alasdair Evans had done a phenomenal job to concede just 9 off his last 3 overs that too whilst bowling to in-form power-hitters at the death.

The situation had turned so hopeless for Malahide that Richie Berrington who had been dodging requests from his skipper to have a bowl felt supremely confident to do so at this stage so Evans could bowl the final over. And despite being quite rusty with the ball in hand even he conceded no more than 8. Malahide now need a pretty implausible 23 off the final over with none of their power-hitters remaining.


Code:
49.1  Evans to Dockrell, SIX, Display of Raw power and brutality by George Dockrell

A six to start off! Not a bad way to begin a lost cause but full credit to George Dockrell for showing he could hit the ball as hard as anyone nowadays. 17 off 5..

Holy mo-... We might actually be onto something here, because this isn't the same George Dockrell of yesteryears who barely knew which end of the bat to hold. 13 off 4..

Code:
49.3  Evans to Dockrell, no run, A lot of movement being extracted by Evans

Or not.. Spoken too soon perhaps. 13 off 3..

Code:
49.4  Evans to Dockrell, two runs, Took the first one quickly the second was no problem

IMAGE_1666506088.jpg


Dockrell did manage to scamper through for two this time, but only boundaries (more specifically sixes) are going to cut it from here. 11 off 2, which basically means both the last couple of deliveries need to go for six for a Malahide victory. A four and a six could still tie the game.

IT'S SIX!!! Un-freakin' believable! Evans, who had bowled so well up to this point delivered a waist high full toss that was lucky not to be called a no-ball and exactly where Dockrell wanted it. What a turnaround! 5 off the last ball now.. Can he actually do it for Malahide?

Quite a few tense discussions going on out there as Alasdair Evans prepares to deliver the final ball with 5 required.

Finally, he decided to just wing it. Here we go, the last ball of the match, a place in the final at stake and...

IT'S SIX AGAIN!!!!! THE CRAZY SOB HAS ACTUALLY DONE IT!!! Nobody gave him the slightest chance with 23 required, but George frickin' Dockrell came on and smashed TWENTY FOUR off the final over!

So ended one of the most thrilling games in Europa Cup history, if not the most thrilling. Surely George Dockrell won't be batted as low as No 9 like the old days after this earth-shattering effort that could have made the likes of Lance Klusener proud.

4X6GMD0.jpg


It was the end of the road for the Highland Barbarians as far as Season V is concerned. It was also the end of the road for Kyle Coetzer, the most prolific run-scorer in the history of the Europa Cup who retired with 1587 runs at an average of 49.59 with 4 centuries and 11 fifties to his name, whilst striking at a very respectable 85.74 runs per 100 balls. As of now, his stunning haul of 552 runs at 69.00 in Season III still remains the most by a batter in a season, and he once also possessed the record for fastest Europa Cup hundred off 58 balls against the Edinburgh Bulls in Season II before it was obliterated by a certain Glenn Maxwell.
