Vernon Philander, take a bow! Four wickets in four deliveries to end Biratnagar's innings! Santosh Baral powered Biratnagar in the powerplay despite early setbacks. After his dismissal, Kundan Singh and Somesh Yadav led a rebellion against Cape Cobras and became the backbone of Biratnagar's innings. Kundan Singh made 38 off 31 deliveries and Somesh Yadav made 37 off 32. Their partnership was brought to a screeching halt because of a silly slog-sweep attempt by Somesh Yadav.

Given an opening, Vernon Philander capitalized on it and dismissed Biratnagar's last four wickets in four successive deliveries. Completing a hat trick to wrap-up Biratnagar's innings. Justin Kemp claimed a 4-wicket haul as well, but he was a little on the expensive side. However, all four of his wickets were top-order wickets, hence more pricey.

133 was never going to be enough for Biratnagar to defend against a batting line of Cape Cobras' calibre. Graeme Smith and Dane Vilas fell cheaply, but their early dismissals were in vain. Richard Levi top-scored and remained unbeaten with a blistering 46-ball 75 in which he hit six 4s and one 6. Owais Shah was just one run short of a well-deserved fifty when the target was achieved by the Cobras. He was batting on 45 with 2 runs required to win, he struck a four to win the game but that left him stranded on 49.

Santosh Baral bagged the two wickets that fell, both in his first spell. No bowler was even a hindrance to Richard Levi and Owais Shah let alone the rest of the Cape Cobras' lineup. Biratnagar bowled every bowling option they had, but to no avail.

Code:
Biratnagar    132/10 in 16.5 overs. 
Cape Cobras   135/2  in 15.3 overs. 

Cape Cobras won by 8 wickets (with 27 balls remaining)

Man of the match: Vernon Philander (Cape Cobras)

 
Biratnagar CC chairman is calling for an official enquiry. He suspects the pitch was moderated and Cobra players used sand paper.

Dominic Cork led from the front as Hampshire Royals bowled-out Rajshahi Rangers for a very mediocre 139 - claiming 3 wickets for just 6 runs. He however, was not the top wicket-taker for the Royals in this innings. That was Dimitri Mascarenhas with a 4-wicket haul.

A 4-wicket haul which blew Rajshahi's top-order out of the water. Qaiser Abbas and Anisur Rehman saved face for Rajshahi but they could only manage to get the Rangers to a respectable total. A total that is respectable, but will take some effort with the ball to make competitive.

0.1  Muktar Ali to Jimmy Adams, Wide full toss, the batsman slashes at it and gets four more through point! Poor bowling.  (4) 
0.2  Muktar Ali to Jimmy Adams, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3) 
0.3  Muktar Ali to Kevin Pietersen, Driven for four!  (4) 
0.4  Muktar Ali to Kevin Pietersen, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two.  (2) 
0.5  Muktar Ali to Kevin Pietersen, Full delivery outside off-stump, the batsman clears his left leg and swings, and cracks it up and over midwicket for six! Great shot, tremendous power!  (6)

What a win! Dominic Cork and Nic Pothas guide Hampshire Royals to a successful 3-wicket chase of 140 after the Royals had been reduced to a measly 49/7. Muktar Ali and Shafiul Islam made a game out of the 139-run total they were given on this batsman-friendly Sharjah track.

Nobody would've pegged a batting line of Hampshire's calibre to crack the way it did against Rajshahi. However, their captain stepped up big time and led them to victory alongside Nic Pothas, as the both of them remained unbeaten with valiant, gritty knocks of 46 each. Cork was rightfully adjudged the Player of the Match.

2.1  Amil Prasad to Michael Klinger, Wide full toss, the batsman slashes at it and gets four more through point! Poor bowling.  (4) 
2.2  Amil Prasad to Michael Klinger, Full, wide, the batsman slashes hard at it and edges it through the second slip region! Third man tidies up and the batsmen run for three. The captain decides to move the man from short fine leg to the slip cordon, he's searching for a wicket here.  (3) 
2.3  Amil Prasad to Cameron Borgas, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single.  (1)

3.2  Peter Borren to Kieron Pollard, 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) 
3.3  Peter Borren to Kieron Pollard, 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)

Southern Redbacks amass the highest score this season as they finish with 211/7 with Kieron Pollard and Cameron Borgas being the top run-scorers with knocks of 81 and 68, respectively. A top-order collapse would've prompted any other team into temporary submission, but the Redbacks seemed to lash out at the mere thought of being put on the back foot. Pollard and Borgas smashed VRA Cricket Club's bowlers all over the park, and Adil Rashid put the finishing touch in the end overs to push them past 200.

Amil Prasad impressed with four wickets, all prominent names. But his economy rate undid all the good his dismissals brought to his team. Prasad conceded 52 in his four overs, the worse in a long line of bad economical figures. Berend Westdijk's 23 runs in his 4.0 overs was the only impressive bowling performance, but he went wicketless.

Kieron Pollard shined with the bat, and now he shines with the ball! What an important part he has become of the Redbacks' unit. Brad Moses and Tom Cooper displayed amazing cricketing skills, but were ultimately outdone by the more-experienced on-paper side. A blitz at the top-order and some fiery batting down below padded Cooper and Moses' fifties, but it still wasn't enough to fetch the win against the Redbacks' bowlers.

Despite it being a batsmen's track, Redbacks' bowlers did well, especially in the middle overs. Nathan Lyon was the most economical but he went wicketless. Pollard bagged 2 wickets but at 9-an over. Kane Richardson going at 11-an over was the only sore sight in the Redbacks' bowling card. A 31-run victory has sent to the top of the pool, and hence, to Quarter-Final Two at Abu Dhabi. This defeat sends VRA Cricket Club tumbling out of Champions League.

Man of the match: Kieron Pollard (Southern Redbacks)

 
I can not lie, I am finding it extremely difficult to continue and finish this. Will try to get this up and running once again (just for the sake of completing it). I do apologize to everyone involved, this wasn't nearly as smooth as I would've hoped for it to be. However I am still greatly appreciative that everyone showed interest and has stuck with the league despite one major and one minor hiatus. :/

Samuel Badree and Sunil Narine were once again the stars for Trinidad & Tobago with the former picking up two wickets in the 3rd over to halt Auckland Aces' fiery start. Samuel Badree's double-strikes were only a slight hurdle as Auckland Aces found rhythm once again and continued punishing T&T. Colin de Grandhomme and Colin Munro both scored cornerstone fifties to lift their team to a massive score. Gareth Hopkins' 10-ball 27 was the cherry on top as Auckland Aces set T&T a 183-run behemoth to chase.

Ravi Rampaul picked two wickets but was taken to the cleaners as he conceded 50 runs in his 4.0 overs. Sunil Narine claimed two wickets as well, but was a little on the expensive side. Samuel Badree's only two wickets came in the 3rd over and he was the most economical out of the three - finishing with figures of 2/16 in 3.0 overs. Kevon Cooper and Rayad Emrit did not have a good day with the ball.

18.1  Michael Bates to Jason Mohammed, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs.  (2) 
18.2  Michael Bates to Jason Mohammed, He takes a step down the track and turns an attempted yorker into a full-toss, and dispatches it over long-on for six!  (6) 
18.3  Michael Bates to Jason Mohammed, Drilled away through midwicket for four, that shot had some power behind it!  (4) 
18.4  Michael Bates to Jason Mohammed, 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) 
18.5  Michael Bates to Sherwin Ganga, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming!  (4) 
18.6  Michael Bates to Sherwin Ganga, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only one.  (1)

19.1  Kyle Mills to Sherwin Ganga, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
19.2  Kyle Mills to Jason Mohammed, 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.

19.4  Kyle Mills to Kevon Cooper, Chipped, and lands safe. Two runs in the mean while.  (2) 
19.5  Kyle Mills to Kevon Cooper, 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) 
19.6  Kyle Mills to Kevon Cooper, 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)

WHAT A VICTORY! A fantastic cameo from Kevon Cooper seals an incredible run-chase for Trinidad & Tobago. Daren Ganga and Jason Mohammed powered T&T with calm and collected knocks. The duo capitalized fantastically on Darren Bravo's blitzy start to the innings. However, timely wickets brought Auckland Aces back into the game. With 17 runs required off the last over, Kyle Mills struck on the second ball to remove Jason Mohammed. The equation being 16 off 4, Kevon Cooper went hell for leather and scored exactly that in the four deliveries he faced to take his team over the line. A last-ball four delivered his team a brilliant win.

Auckland Aces were unable to find a break in the middle during that audacious Daren Ganga and Jason Mohammed partnership, and even after they did, they were unable to capitalize on it and turn the momentum around. Andre Adams was the pick of the bowlers with 2 scalps to his name at 7-an over. Kyle Mills and Michael Bates had harrowing figures.
