0.1 Rana Naved-ul-Hasan to Amila Sandaruwan, 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)
0.2 Rana Naved-ul-Hasan to Amila Sandaruwan, There's a mix up with the batsman, and he's out!

6.1 Shoaib Malik to Saliya Saman, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single. (1)
6.2 Shoaib Malik to Duminda Perera, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, the batsmen scamper through for the single! (1)
6.3 Shoaib Malik to Saliya Saman, 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)
6.4 Shoaib Malik to Saliya Saman, Pah, that was a useless shot! I've seen better batters in my fridge! No run. (0)

7.3 Sarfraz Ahmed to Duminda Perera, 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)
7.4 Sarfraz Ahmed to Duminda Perera, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run. (0)

9.3 Sarfraz Ahmed to Saliya Saman, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavilion... (4)
9.4 Sarfraz Ahmed to Saliya Saman, 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)

Sialkot Stallions bowled brilliantly to keep Ragama Cricket Club to a run rate as low as possible. Once they realised they were falling behind, they panicked and they gave away their wickets. Only two batsmen from Ragama Cricket Club's line-up scored in double-figures, both got fifties and saved their team, without these two, Ragama Cricket Club's total would've been nothing. Sialkot Stallions bowled them out for only 135, Rana Naved-Ul-Hasan picked 3 wickets, Mohammad Asif picked 2 wickets, whereas Mansoor Amjad and Sarfraz Ahmed shared 1 wicket apiece.

Auckland Aces made a valiant effort to chase this total down, but it was all in vain as the Victorian Bushrangers managed to somehow contain them. Contain them, despite Scott Styris' brisk 49 off 35. Perhaps, Rob Nicol taking 51 balls to score at run-a-ball cost them.
Victorian Bushrangers 174/10 in 19.2 overs.
Auckland Aces 155/6 in 20.0 overs.
Victorian Bushrangers won by 19 runs
