And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with England Lions claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by England Lions 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 England Lions proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory. MATCH NOTES ----------- South African Scorchers 50/4 5 overs England Lions 51/3 3.3 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. New Zealand Crusaders 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. New Zealand Crusaders was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered. MATCH NOTES ----------- New Zealand Crusaders 82/4 5 overs Irish Stags 64/4 5 overs

South African Scorchers 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. Irish Stags really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against South African Scorchers and that's exactly how it played out. MATCH NOTES ----------- South African Scorchers 56/2 5 overs Irish Stags 53/5 5 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. Oh dear - if you're a England Lions supporter, I'm afraid the scorecard makes for pretty poor reading. Bangladesh Knights simply showed more hunger for the win today and they will deservedly take all the accolades for the performance they put in. MATCH NOTES ----------- Bangladesh Knights 79/2 5 overs England Lions 72/2 5 overs
