Hague Cricket Club were bowled out for a modest 149, courtesy of an all-round performance by the Otago Volts' bowlers. Matt Harvie of the Otago Volts was the pick of the bowlers with his figures of 3/24. Neil Wagner, Nathan McCullum and Ian Butler, each picked 2 wickets apiece.

Given the figures the Otago Volts' bowlers were able to achieve, Hague Cricket Club would've scored far less had it not been for the brilliant partnership between Tom de Grooth and Jacob-Jan Esmeijer that brought stability to the innings, and stopped the wickets from falling down whilst increasing their run flow. Commendable batting, from Jacob-Jan Esmeijer in particular.​

After losing David Warner in the very first over of the match, the New South Wales Blues recuperated well with Simon Katich and Phillip Hughes powering a belligerent 133-run partnership for the 2nd wicket. They both were dismissed on 73, by Rangana Herath, the same bowler. But by then, they had already done their job.​

Imran Nazir almost single-handedly powered the Sialkot Stallions over the line, in what was, a fairly one-sided affair.​

Ontario Cricket Club   143/5 in 20.0 overs. 
Sialkot Stallions      146/3 in 16.4 overs. 

Sialkot Stallions won by 7 wickets (with 20 balls remaining)

Man of the match: Imran Nazir (Sialkot Stallions)

ROUND 2

Pool A, Rajasthan Royals vs Hague Cricket Club at Banglore
- Brilliant, hard track to bat on, but with an outfield that deteriorates quickly.
@Pinch hitter @Perfect Square

Pool B, Ontario Cricket Club vs Wayamba Elevens at Kolkata
- Normal pitch, equally good for batsmen and bowlers.
@HawkAussie @Asham

Pool A, Cape Cobras vs Greenock Cricket Club at Ahmedabad
- Batsmen friendly wicket, not much on offer for either fast, or spin bowlers.
@AliB/@Ashutosh. @Quadralus

Pool B, Middlesex Panthers vs New South Wales Blues at Mumbai
- Great pitch to bat on, usually favours teams with explosive batsmen.
