1.2  Roger Telemachus to Michael Klinger, Splendid shot for four!  (4)

1.6  Roger Telemachus to Cameron White, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy!  (3)

2.5  Mick Lewis to Loots Bosman, Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1)

Boeta Dippenaar's phenomenal innings of 96 powered the Gestetner Diamond Eagles to a crushing win over the Victorian Bushrangers. Too bad he fell four short of the first ton in Champions League history.​

Victorian Bushrangers      157/7 in 20.0 overs. 
Gestetner Diamond Eagles   158/5 in 19.1 overs. 

Gestetner Diamond Eagles won by 5 wickets (with 5 balls remaining)

Man of the match: Boeta Dippenaar (GES)

@Naman Thakur @Yash.​

 

[Yash.]

Go Go Go Eagles.

 

[CerealKiller]

Nice to get back to winning ways. @Rabbit Hood 's change worked.

 

[Ohm]

Really sighed with relief since something that I had came up with did work.

CANTERBURY WIZARDS vs SINHALESE SPORTS CLUB

CANTERBURY WIZARDS WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO BAT FIRST

CANTERBURY WIZARDS' INNINGS

0.1  Charith Jayaweera to Nathan Astle, And that's going all the way, four runs!  (4) 
0.2  Charith Jayaweera to Nathan Astle, No Ball. Chipped, and lands safe. Two runs in the mean while.  (2) 
0.2  Charith Jayaweera to Nathan Astle, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one.  (1) 
0.3  Charith Jayaweera to Brendon McCullum, One more to the total.  (1) 
0.4  Charith Jayaweera to Nathan Astle, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0) 
0.5  Charith Jayaweera to Nathan Astle, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavilion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6) 
0.6  Charith Jayaweera to Nathan Astle, Tries to work it off his legs, misses, and the fielders go up in appeal! It has to be out, it HAS to be out! NOOOOO! The umpire is unmoved! Gosh that must have been close.  (0)

1.1  Dilhara Fernando to Brendon McCullum, Good shot, bad placement. Won't get a run for that.  (0) 
1.2  Dilhara Fernando to Brendon McCullum, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3) 
1.3  Dilhara Fernando to Nathan Astle, Tucked on the leg side, two more to the total.  (2) 
1.4  Dilhara Fernando to Nathan Astle, Drilled away through midwicket for four, that shot had some power behind it!  (4) 
1.5  Dilhara Fernando to Nathan Astle, No Run, excellent bowling.  (0)

2.2  Charith Jayaweera to Brendon McCullum, Sloppy fielding, the batsmen were content with one but end up getting two.  (2) 
2.3  Charith Jayaweera to Brendon McCullum, Full, wide, the batsman slashes hard at it and edges it through the second slip region! Third man tidies up and the batsmen run for three. The captain decides to move the man from short fine leg to the slip cordon, he's searching for a wicket here.  (5) 
2.4  Charith Jayaweera to Nathan Astle, No Ball. Shortish delivery on the stumps, the batsman backs away and swats it to cover for a single  (1) 
2.4  Charith Jayaweera to Brendon McCullum, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
2.5  Charith Jayaweera to Brendon McCullum, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
2.6  Charith Jayaweera to Nathan Astle, Neat little late cut, beats the slip and short third man. The batsmen get two.  (2)

3.2  Dilhara Fernando to Brendon McCullum, Dabbed into the gap for a quick single. The captain decides to shift the field around a little bit.  (1) 
3.3  Dilhara Fernando to Nathan Astle, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
3.4  Dilhara Fernando to Nathan Astle, The batsman sees the juicy half-volley outside off-stump, and decided that it deserved more than a spanking through the covers, and so thrashes it into the stands instead! 6 runs.  (6) 
3.5  Dilhara Fernando to Nathan Astle, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0)

4.5  Charith Jayaweera to Nathan Astle, Very well bowled.  (0)

Spectators here, at the Junction Oval have been left in-awe by Brendon McCullum who blasted his way to the first century in Champions League history. His 63-ball 108 led his team to a record-breaking total of 224/2 in their 20.0 overs. Sinhalese Sports Club's bowlers were destroyed as a result of that, especially Charith Jayaweera, who went for 73 runs in his 4.0 overs.​

Despite Sinhalese Sports Club's desperate efforts, they never got close to chasing that total. Especially after two maidens were bowled, one from Chris Harris and the other from Paul Wiseman. Chris Harris conceded just 3 runs in 2.0 overs, and Paul Wiseman and Chris Cairns picked 2 wickets apiece. And the debutant Sunnie Chan didn't even bowl. Fantastic and dominant all-round display allows Canterbury Wizards to register their first win of the season, and what a convincing win it is.​

Canterbury Wizards      224/2 in 20.0 overs. 
Sinhalese Sports Club   150/8 in 20.0 overs. 

Canterbury Wizards won by 74 runs
