And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with New Zealand Crusaders claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by New Zealand Crusaders and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said New Zealand Crusaders proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory. MATCH NOTES ----------- Aussie Caper 56/4 5 overs New Zealand Crusaders 58/2 4.2 overs

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Bangladesh Knights will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Bangladesh Knights proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory. MATCH NOTES ----------- Bangladesh Knights 69/2 5 overs Indian Saintz 51/3 5 overs

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with South African Scorchers claiming an impressive victory by 5 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by South African Scorchers and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. South African Scorchers was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered. MATCH NOTES ----------- Afghan Warriors 32/4 5 overs South African Scorchers 34/1 2.1 overs

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Irish Stags will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. Oh dear - if you're a Pakistani Pistons supporter, I'm afraid the scorecard makes for pretty poor reading. Irish Stags simply showed more hunger for the win today and they will deservedly take all the accolades for the performance they put in.
