Good Evening everybody and the warmest welcome to this limited edition game of cricket where entertainment is guaranteed. I'm your host Aamir bringing you all the action live from Auckland, New Zealand. This is match no. 7 in the Twenty20 Competition between Counter Warriors and Royal Ramblers. Counter Warriors lead the series 4-2. A win here for the Counter Warriors will sum up the series for them whereas Royal Ramblers can't afford to lose at any cost.

The pitch is flat and hard. It'll have even bounce throughout the game and we will see some powerful hitting. Its an evening game, and the weather is cool. Perfect conditions for a great game of cricket. On a pitch like this it doesn't matters whether you bat first or second but the team which wins the toss will love to bat first, get a good score and gain an upper hand in the match.

The Royal Ramblers captain Viral has won the toss and elected to bat first. He indicated that the pitch will remain the same throughout but they would love to bat first and get a good score on the board.

With ansariaamir_leo being rested and Karachi Xpress willing to bat at no. 3 its a new opening pair of the Royal Ramblers captain Viral and Shubhrayu to open the innings. Shubhrayu was on the kill from the start of the innings whereas Viral kept his wicket at the other end and just provided the strike to Shubhrayu. Both of them hit some lusty blows around the park and added 56 runs for the opening wicket. A desperately needed good start for the Royal Ramblers. It seemed to be going good for the Royal Ramblers but then Counter Warrior bowlers struck in quick successions. Nailclaw and World Champions getting a wicket each by dismissing both the Royal Ramblers openers. The Royal Ramblers seemed to be in some trouble since they were 64-2 but then came in the most explosive batsmen of Royal Ramblers, Karachi Xpress and Giggity. Both of them smashed the Counter Warrior bowlers in every corner of the ground. Karachi Xpress scored a blistering 45 off 23 balls whereas Giggity at the other end was no way slower. Giggity completed his half century with style. Giggity scored 57 off 32 balls and both remained unbeaten. Royal Ramblers managed 158 runs off 20 overs with the loss of only 2 wickets. Khalek being the pick of the bowlers from Counter Warriors. In his quota of 4 overs, Khalek gave away just 12 runs. What a spell of bowling that was!

Counter Warriors started off their innings in a similar manner that of the Royal Ramblers. Wildwill was the aggressor whereas Highlander taking it with ease. A good opening partnership was desperately needed for the Counter Warriors to complete the run chase and both the openers provided that. With some good stroke plays, Counter Warriors openers managed to put up 68 runs for the first wicket. Xuzuno providing the breakthrough by getting Highlander out bowled. In came the Counter Warriors captain World Champions. His performance in the last match was far below par and in this game he looked as if he wants to get some momentum. He came out with an aggressive mind set and hit some lusty blows. Counter Warriors were going good until Handsome struck for the Royal Ramblers. It was Wildwill who lost his wicket. In came Tarzan. It was the most experienced duo of Counter Warriors at the crease. They played it easy out there and things seemed to be going good and easy for the Counter Warriors. At the end of over 17, Counter Warriors managed 132/2. Requiring 27 runs to win off 3 overs.

Great bowling by Scion Sid. In such intense situation he managed to give away just 4 runs. Counter Warriors were under pressure. They require 23 runs off the last 2 overs.

Counter Warriors gained some momentum in this over. They managed to score 14 runs off it. Things started to look as if turning towards the Counter Warriors. Its all up to the last over and Counter Warriors require 9 runs off the last 6 balls.

What an intensive match. It has come up to a nail biting finish. Anything can happen here. Not even a single spectator has moved from their place. The tension can be clearly seen on the faces of everyone present here. Royal Ramblers had some discussion for a while as to whom to give the last over. Viral, ansariaamir_leo and Karachi Xpress had talks for a while and decided to go with the most experienced bowler of their side and they handed the ball to Scion Sid. Sid was under tremendous pressure. The Counter Warriors had 8 wickets in hand and they will definitely go for everything. He kept his nerves and bowled into the right channels. He gave only 8 runs and also picked up the crucial wicket of Tarzan.

What a finish to an exciting encounter. Although the teams would be disappointed with the fact that the game ended up in a tie. But since both the teams performed so well, it would've been harsh for the team ending up on the losing side. This match will remain as the most memorable games of all the times. What a thriller we had!

It was tough to decide the Man of the Match with so many players putting up some brilliant performances. In the end it was decided that "Khalek from Counter Warriors and Scion Sid from Royal Ramblers" to share the Man of the Match award. In a batsmen dominated version of cricket and on a flat pitch, these two bowlers put up splendid display of some classy talent. At one hand Khalek was economical with his bowling whereas on the other Scion Sid kept his nerves in the last over and managed to tie the game for his team.

The Counter Warriors still lead the series by 4-2. Tune in again for the 8th match between these two teams. After today's game I need not say that entertainment is guaranteed in the

matches to come. Hope to see you again. Till then I'm your host Aamir, taking your leave from Auckland, New Zealand. A Good Night and Good Bye to all our dear viewers.
