Guyana's top-order performed admirably well against the new ball, but their middle-order crumbled under the pressure causing a massive collapse, taking them from 127/1 to 160/8. bizhub Highveld Lions' death-bowling was superb, they conceded only 11 runs in the last 2.0 overs and picked 4 wickets. Travis Dowlin, the opener, was the best scorer for Guyana with an elegant 59-run innings which included 7 fours and a six.

Despite losing wickets early, Ragama Cricket Club manage a huge total for the Victorian Bushrangers to chase. The innings was powered by Duminda Perera and Kaushalya Weeraratne's fifties, though, it closed in fantastic fashion with a beautiful display of a brutal slugging from Saliya Saman, who scored 26 off just 15 balls. Andrew McDonald picked two wickets via caught and bowled, but was very expensive. Not as much as Dirk Nannes though, that guy had a nightmare of a game.

The oh-so strong Victorian Bushrangers batting line on-paper delivered when it was needed the most out of them. The skipper, Cameron White alongside Michael Klinger were the top-scorers of the innings with 62 and 49 runs, respectively. David Hussey's power-show saw him add 29 runs off just 12 balls. Upul Indrasiri's bowling figures undid everything Ranesh Perera's 2/14 achieved.

A young Stuart Broad was the reason why the Southerns could barely manage 141. He picked 3 wickets for only 15 runs in his full 4.0 overs. The Southerns' innings included only two scores of the double-figure, coming from the bat of Chamu Chibhabha and Jemton Chinyengetere. They added 72 and 49 runs respectively, but apart from those two, the best score was only 5. If it had not been for those two, the Southerns would've fallen pretty hard on their face.
