Singapore couldn't capitalise on a good batting wicket, Saudi Arabia took the slow turn that was on offer and 27 overs by the spinners accounted for 7 Singapore wickets for just 79 runs. Saudi Arabia weathered an initial storm by Singapore and a 102-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Man of the Match Shahbaz and his captain Afzal got them to the brink of victory. Three more games tomorrow, thanks for being with us from sunny Singapore today.

Irony. If it gets down to run-rate after all others to decide the winner of this ACC Premier League, these last few overs all will matter

This flurry of wickets may be too late to affect the result of this match, nevertheless nothing can be taken for granted. 15 minutes ago Mohammad Abdullah wouldn't have dreamed he'd have to bat today
