Sialkot Stallions were very well restricted by the Wayamba Elevens' bowlers. They could only manage a 157-run total, even with Shahid Yousuf and Kamran Younis' fifties, which is, very mediocre.

The failures of Imran Nazir and Shoaib Malik greatly effected the Sialkot Stallions. They could've achieved a far bigger total, had either of them got going, even for a little while.

This turned out to be an easy chase in the end for the Wayamba Elevens. Their captain, Jehan Mubarak, led from the front and ensured the win for his team. The Sialkot Stallions' bowling line, which is comparatively weaker than their previous year's bowling line, was trashed all around the park.

Code:
Sialkot Stallions   157/4 in 20.0 overs. 
Wayamba Elevens     161/4 in 15.0 overs. 

Wayamba Elevens won by 6 wickets (with 30 balls remaining)

Man of the match: Jehan Mubarak (Wayamba Elevens)

@Akshay. @CerealKiller

Pool A, :saf: Cape Cobras vs :nz: Otago Volts at Chennai
- Generally good for both, batting and bowling.
@AliB/@Ashutosh. @Rohith.

Pool A, :sco: Greenock Cricket Club vs :ned: Hague Cricket Club at Kolkata

NEW SOUTH WALES BLUES' INNINGS
Code:
0.1  Henry Osinde to Phillip Hughes, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2) 
0.2  Henry Osinde to Phillip Hughes, Chipped down to long-off, easy single.  (1) 
0.3  Henry Osinde to David Warner, The batsman sees the juicy half-volley outside off-stump, and decided that it deserved more than a spanking through the covers, and so thrashes it into the stands instead! 6 runs.  (6) 
0.4  Henry Osinde to David Warner, And the batsman unveils the sweep shot, and it's done beautifully too! Four more!  (4) 
0.5  Henry Osinde to David Warner, Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1)

New South Wales Blues smacked the Ontario Cricket Club's bowlers after putting them to bowl, and achieved a mammoth total of 201 for 4. Their openers, Phillip Hughes and David Warner laid the foundation for that outrageous total with a 142-run partnership for the opening wicket, which was capitalised on beautifully by Simon Katich.

18.4  Brett Lee to Mohsin Mulla, Ah, great ball. It bounced more than the batsman expected it to, causing him to check his shot at the last moment and lob the ball into the air for an easy catch.

Code:
0.1  Naved Arif to Andrew Strauss, 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  Naved Arif to Andrew Strauss, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment!  (0) 
0.3  Naved Arif to Andrew Strauss, Sloppy fielding, the batsmen were content with one but end up getting two.  (2) 
0.4  Naved Arif to Andrew Strauss, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? YES HE DOES! Out!!!

1.1  Kashif Daud to Ed Joyce, Edged and through the vacant gully region for four! And just after the captained had removed a man from there! Don't you just hate it when that happens?  (4) 
1.2  Kashif Daud to Ed Joyce, Shortish delivery on the stumps, the batsman backs away and swats it to cover for a single  (1) 
1.3  Kashif Daud to Dawid Malan, 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) 
1.4  Kashif Daud to Dawid Malan, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective.  (4) 
1.5  Kashif Daud to Dawid Malan, Short ball, worked off the hips for a single  (1)

15.6  Tim Murtagh to Imran Nazir, Wide, no run.  (1)

16.3  Murali Kartik to Imran Nazir, Down the wicket, swings, misses, and the keeper does the rest. Easy as pie.

17.1  Tim Murtagh to Shoaib Malik, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is.  (4) 
17.2  Tim Murtagh to Shoaib Malik, Edged and over the slip fielder! Two runs while third man tidies up.  (2) 
17.3  Tim Murtagh to Shoaib Malik, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs.  (2)

18.5  Tyron Henderson to Haris Sohail, Slapped away through the offside for a glorious boundary! Lovely shot. The captain's fuming now and removes a man from third slip to cover that region.  (4) 
18.6  Tyron Henderson to Haris Sohail, The batsman sees the juicy half-volley outside off-stump, and decided that it deserved more than a spanking through the covers, and so thrashes it into the stands instead! 6 runs.  (6)
