Apart from Djokovic, Deledio and Van Vuuren, none of our C.O players has performed. There will be some changes in the next match.

I can't get over the fact that you're playing Pool C players ahead of James Milner.

That's because i have this obsession with not changing my line-up too much. To be honest, i dropped him because i didn't like the previous combination too much, but due to the previously mentioned reason, i didn't bring him back yet.

A good performance by everyone.

It's good that you don't want to tweak with the line-up much but dropping a player like Milner without giving him a chance to perform is beyond my understanding tbh.

Not quite as catchy as the original chant, but they're doing rather well for us - as is AFL reject Shane Warne
No change; I nearly but not quite dropped Dawson

Ahh, I expected we will win this with the lineup we got. Our openers got out early and Hodge,Carrick couldn't score runs with the speed we wanted. Run a ball scoring is not upto the level in t20. I feel a batsmen need to be dropped so our allrounders can score. Our bowlers too coudn't pick early wickets and when they started coming back, it was too late. I think dropping Mcgrath wasn't a good decision.

With the Stars needing 11 to win off the final over, Rory McIlroy conceded no more than 6 and took the wicket of Shoaib Akhtar to register a much needed win for his side
| Crusaders wins by 4 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. Spin 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. |

Hurricanes' experts stepped up for their side to shock Highlanders with a seven-wicket win
| Hurricanes wins by 7 wickets | |
| That's the end of the game and Hurricanes wrap up a massive victory winning by 7 wickets. Highlanders was never in the game but that is more down to Hurricanes'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 Hurricanes proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory. |
