Wayamba Elevens stumbled because of the fight shown by the Eastern Aces' bowlers, Lameck Onyango and Nelson Odhiambo in particular, but Jehan Mubarak and Suresh Perera's 67-run stand for the 6th wicket was enough to seal Eastern Aces' fate. The bowlers did an excellent job with the early strikes, leaving Wayamba Elevens staggering on 58/5, but they needed a few more runs to defend, to pull this off.
Eastern Aces 123/10 in 17.4 overs.
Wayamba Xi 125/5 in 15.1 overs.
Wayamba Xi won by 5 wickets (with 29 balls remaining)

Mansoor Amjad salvaged the Sialkot Stallions after the failures of their key batsmen, Shoaib Malik and Faisal Naved. Qaiser Abbas played a slow innings, but clearly, it was to prolong the innings and play out the overs. Their score was escalated towards the end by Mansoor Amjad's anchoring innings, and by the blitzkrieg of 23 from Shakeel Ansar.
