Kumar Sangakkara's potent cameo with the bat helped set up the win for the Chiefs

Chiefs wins by 3 wickets

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Chiefs claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Chiefs and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Chiefs proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Victor Matfield's all-round effort was outdone by some great batting from Highlanders' crossovers

Highlanders wins by 4 wickets

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Highlanders claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Highlanders and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Highlanders proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Crusaders wins by 1 runs

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Crusaders will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Crusaders proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
