Lahore Lions amount an impressive 162-run total with Umar Akmal and Mohammad Yousuf's knocks of 47 from 32 and 48 from 30 respectively, leading the way.
Ahmed Shehzad and Nasir Jamshed lost their wickets in the space of five deliveries after providing Lahore Lions with a cautious and steady start to the innings.
Yousuf and Umar Akmal steadied the ship afterwards and added an incredible 97-run stand for the 3rd-wicket before it was brought to an end in the 16th over.
Lahore Lions late-order fizzled out in an attempt to slog mindlessly and push the score further, but despite all that, they ended up with an imposing total of 162.
Berend Westdijk, Gerrie Snyman and Mangesh Panchal claimed two wickets apiece. Westdijk however, was damagingly expensive, conceding 45 in his 4.0 overs.
Panchal bagged two very important wickets in Razzaq and Adnan Akmal at the death end of the innings, constraining Lahore Lions aspirations of a massive score.

In the end, a convincing victory for Lahore Lions as they edge past VRA Cricket Club by 32 runs in the season opener of the 2011 Champions League Twenty20.
A 79-run stand between Tom Cooper and Eric Szwarczynski gave VRA Cricket Club the upper hand for the majority of this chase, however it did not result in a win.
The prowess of the Pakistani bowlers snatched victory, and a very convincing victory in the end. It did not come as easy as one would've expected it to though.
In a curious parallel to Lahore Lions' innings, the entire team fizzled out after the dismissals of No.3 and No.4 batsmen, after they did all of the heavy lifting.
Wahab Riaz was the pick of the bowlers with 3 major scalps to his name, including both the openers. Aizaz Cheema claimed two very important wickets as well.
Cheema dismissed Gerrie Snyman and Wesley Barresi at a very crucial moment in the game, halting VRA Cricket Club and ultimately leading them to a defeat.

Incredible twin fifties from Johnson Marumisa and Tatenda Taibu lead Mountaineers to a fighting total of 145 before eventually being bowled out in the 19th over.
It was a tale of two worlds however, as only one other batsmen could get to double-figures. Tino Mawoyo's 6-ball 11 was the next best thing after the twin fifties.
Dale Steyn bagged 5 wickets, becoming the first bowler in Champions League history to claim two 5-fers. His previous 5-fer came for Titans in the 2008 edition.
Charl Langeveldt had 2 scalps to his name, whereas Justin Kemp had just one. Everyone else went wicketless with Robin Peterson being the most expensive.
An excellent, valiant fightback from Tatenda Taibu and Johnson Marumisa has given Mountaineers a fighting chance against an admittedly tough side on-paper.
Mountaineers are going to need something special from their bowlers to pull this off, but their batsmen have given them more than enough runs to defend.

6.4 Natsai M'shangwe to Graeme Smith, 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)

Victory! Cape Cobras sneak through for a 3-wicket win in the 18th over against Mountaineers in what turned out to be the first great game of the 2011 edition.
Mountaineers had Cape Cobras in a vice but could not get the job done. They were so close to pulling off an unimaginable upset, but the Cobras held their nerves.
A stalwart fifty at the top from Graeme Smith kept Cape Cobras in line with the chase while wickets tumbled around him, until Justin Ontong came out to bat.
Smith and Ontong added 97 runs for the 5th wicket and salvaged Cape Cobras from 37 for 4, and pushed them towards the 146-run target set by Mountaineers.
Both batsmen lost their wickets in the space of 4 balls, Justin Kemp followed soon, swinging the momentum of this game completely in favour of Mountaineers.
But Vernon Philander's outburst killed all of Mountaineers' hopes as he scored the remaining 14 runs in just 5 deliveries, right after Justin Kemp's dismissal.
