Canterbury Wizards couldn't capitalise much on their decision to bat first on this beautiful wicket because of the 2 wickets that fell to Shane Harwood in the 3rd over. The openers, Brendon McCullum and Nathan Astle, couldn't live up to the hype. It took a phenomenal effort from Craig McMillan and Chris Harris, the skipper, to make sure the Canterbury Wizards don't collapse. They scored 51 and 49 runs respectively, taking their team's total to 147/8.

0.4 Chris Cairns to Michael Klinger, 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)
0.5 Chris Cairns to Michael Klinger, Very well bowled. (0)
0.6 Chris Cairns to Michael Klinger, The 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)

Considering the oh-so strong batting line-up that the Victorian Bushrangers have got on paper, they had more trouble chasing this target than they should've. Unlike Canterbury Wizards in this match, their top-order did not fail. But, the lower-order/tail was having hiccups in finishing the match as 3 wickets fell in quick succession. Brad Hodge however, responsibly drove the Victorian Bushrangers home with an unbeaten 45 off 34 balls. Chris Martin, Chris Cairns and Shane Bond picked 2 wickets apiece.
Canterbury Wizards 147/8 in 20.0 overs.
Victorian Bushrangers 149/7 in 18.3 overs.
Victorian Bushrangers won by 3 wickets (with 9 balls remaining)

It was a bad day for the Sialkot Stallions' batsman. The early wickets destroyed Sialkot Stallions' moral, and they could never recover from it. Dilhara Fernando picked 3 wickets, but was quite expensive. The other bowlers' economy made up for his expensive economy rate.
