Code:
0.1  Chanaka Welegedara to Aaron Finch, 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)
0.2  Chanaka Welegedara to Aaron Finch, Played to deep cover. Two runs.  (2)
0.3  Chanaka Welegedara to Aaron Finch, Sloppy fielding, the batsmen were content with one but end up getting two.  (2)
0.4  Chanaka Welegedara to Aaron Finch, Short and pulled away for a single  (2)
0.5  Chanaka Welegedara to Aaron Finch, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0)

3.6  Farveez Maharoof to Cameron White, 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)

4.2  Chanaka Welegedara to Cameron White, Very well bowled.  (0)

An excellent bowling performance from Wayamba Elevens restricts the Victorian Bushrangers to a below-par total of 128 despite David Hussey's brilliant fifty.
Only three batsmen managed to get their scores into double figures. David Hussey's 37-ball 50 gave the Victorian Bushrangers a total to put-up a fight for.

The Bushrangers were 38/3 at one point, but Hussey and Andrew McDonald rescued them from a collapse. However, said collapse did eventually come though.
After Hussey and McDonald's dismissals, which came in the space of eight deliveries, the Bushrangers completely faltered. Going from 123/5 to 128 all out.

Chanaka Welagedara and Farveez Maharoof were surprisingly effective on a pitch that supposedly had nothing on offer for either aspects, let alone bowling.
Isuru Udana and Ajantha Mendis also picked-up a wicket each when they dismissed Hussey and McDonald, respectively. Bringing Wayamba back in the game.

Wayamba Elevens register an amazing win after a very dramatic yet successful run-chase against a formidable opposition, ensuring their place in the knockouts.
Mahela Jayawardene and Jehan Mubarak showcase their class with match-winning fifties on a turf where no one really seemed to get going, or get going big.

Jehan Mubarak, Wayamba's skipper remained unbeaten until the end with a prolific 51 off 44 deliveries, ensuring the victory his bowlers had set-up for Wayamba.
Clint McKay and John Hastings were effective with the ball. Dirk Nannes didn't pick-up any wickets, but was quite economical. Rest of the bowlers, not so much.

Alasdair Evans and Gordon Drummond were prolific with the new ball, claiming back-to-back wickets each in the 2nd and 3rd overs, reducing the Sharks to 21/4.
Luckily for them, they had a batting line that ran deep and was of a great calibre, otherwise it would've been curtains and Carlton would've registered an upset.

Dwayne Smith and Ed Joyce tried to rebut Carlton's attack but were soon dismissed. Chris Nash played a very potent innings, scoring a magnificent 59 off 51 balls.
But it was Michael Yardy's awe-inspiring knock of 40 from just 28 balls that rejuvenated the Sussex Sharks and got them to a very good total of 163/9 at the end.

Sussex Sharks faced many ups and downs during this game, but towards the end of their imminent victory against Carlton, the proceedings became comfortable.
After an impressive performance by the bowlers, Carlton Cricket Club faltered with the bat and got bowled-out for 126, losing by a hefty margin of 37 runs.

Despite going for 11-an-over, Yasir Arafat claimed a 4-wicket haul and was instrumental in this victory. His counterpart - James Kirtley was also quite successful.
Rory Hamilton-Brown and Dwayne Smith were extraordinarily economical, bowling most of their overs during Carlton's rebuilding phase. Both also claimed a wicket.

0.1  Esuan Crandon to Mark Vermeulen, 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)

Guyana's bowlers underperformed considerably, as Westerns finished with a respectable total of 168, courtesy of Keith Dabengwa's 62 and Tinashe Mhora's 42.
The two carried the Westerns on their back since rest of their batting faltered under pressure. Notably, Sean Williams and Charles Coventry failed to score big.

Mark Vermeulen also couldn't convert his start into something of far more significance after getting off to a meticulous start. But the local stars saved Westerns.
Keith Dabengwa and Tinashe Mhora, two unexplored prospects played innings that got the Westerns to a good, defendable total against a flat Guyanese bowling.

Esuan Crandon and Chris Barnwell picked-up three wickets apiece, but were on the expensive side. Especially the latter. Narsingh Deonarine struck twice too.
Lennox Cush and surprisingly, Devandra Bishoo went wicketless. Ramnaresh Sarwan would've liked his bowlers to have done much better against a frail Westerns.

What a victory for the Westerns! They defeat Guyana by 26 runs and qualify for the knockouts. Becoming the first Zimbabwean team to advance to the top-eight.
Not only is this the first victory for the Westerns, it is also the first win for any Zimbabwean side in the history of the Champions League. Truly a momentous win.

Guyana, let down by their bowlers, also failed with the bat. Their top-5 were unsuccessful in laying the foundation for a win, being reduced to a below-par total.
Jonathan Foo and Esuan Crandon tried to valiantly fightback alongside Chris Barnwell, but it just was not enough to save Guyana from an imminent elimination.

Chris Mpofu added three wickets to his name. Three out of the top-5 batsmen of Guyana were dismissed by him. The other two were dismissed by Njabulo Ncube.
Ncube also finished with three to his name, but he was relatively more expensive than Mpofu. Tawanda Mupariwa and John Nyumbu claimed one wicket each.

What a victory for the Westerns! They defeat Guyana by 26 runs and qualify for the knockouts. Becoming the first Zimbabwean team to advance to the top-eight.
Not only is this the first victory for the Westerns, it is also the first win for any Zimbabwean side in the history of the Champions League. Truly a momentous win.
After all, they have the best managers in Cricket Leagues at Planet Cricket to manage them. :p

On a serious note, I was expecting more off Coventry with the bat and Tawanda with the ball. Nevertheless, the team has performed outstandingly and above expectations. All credit goes to Mpofu & Debengwa for leading their respective units with bat and ball and we'll co-ordinated by others.

Very happy :)

Despite excellent bowling performances from Rusty Theron, Wayne Parnell and Makhaya Ntini, Excelsior'20 managed to finish with a respectable total of 154.
It was a controlled effort from the Warriors as they eventually bowled-out Excelsior just in the nick of time, with their excellent pacers inflicting all the damage.

Rusty Theron and Makhaya Ntini claimed three wickets each, with the latter being the more economical out of the two. Wayne Parnell had two important scalps.
Jacques Kallis also had an impactful spell, dismissing Luuk van Troost after he had already settled and was middling the ball quite comfortably towards the end.

Freddie Klokker was a revelation for Excelsior. He played one of the best knocks of the tournament so far, taking the fight to Warriors' almighty bowling lineup.
The Danish wicket-keeper batsmen scored 68 runs off 49 balls with 6 fours and 2 sixes, carrying his team to a fighting total, batting alongside Luuk van Troost.

Apart from a few shaky moments, the Warriors dominated Excelsior like it was expected. However kudos to Excelsior, they put up more of a fight than the Stags.
Mark Boucher top-scored for the Warriors with an elegant 54 from 42. His innings bundled with Colin Ingram's anchoring knock was enough to secure the win.

Warriors' top-3 also chipped in with fruitful and belligerent knocks, laying the groundwork for a successful chase. Which, they achieved with 4 wickets to spare.
Besides a few lucky breaks here and there, Excelsior's bowlers struggled to defend a score that was set-up by their batsmen as somewhat of a mountain to climb.
