Rafael Nadal and Virender Sehwag shared a hurried partnership of 82 runs for the second wicket to take Highlanders over the line

Highlanders wins by 7 wickets

That's the end of the game and Highlanders wrap up a massive victory winning by 7 wickets. Crusaders was never in the game but that is more down to Highlanders's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. 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. Highlanders was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered.

Stars' Brett Lee claimed three wickets in a winning cause

Stars wins by 29 runs

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Stars claiming an impressive victory by 29 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Stars 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 Stars proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Manny Ramirez's 18-ball 37 set up Lions' first win of the torunament

Lions wins by 4 wickets

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Lions claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Lions 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. Crusaders really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against Lions and that's exactly how it played out.

Shane Warne took full advantage of the spinning track to rip through Highlanders’ top order and put Chiefs in the driver's seat

Chiefs wins by 6 wickets

That's the end of the game and Chiefs wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. Highlanders was never in the game but that is more down to Chiefs's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. 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.
