I honestly feel WCF would fair better in CL compared to Crows but going by form, I think we will get a tough fight from them. Even if I would have been a spectator, I'd have loved to see WCF team winning 'cause its one of those team which doesn't depend on just a few players in the team. May the best team win.

West Coast require 226 to win. The second innings will be posted later.
 
Great bowling effort from our bowlers to restrict the crows to 225 on the flat deck putting us right into the driver's seat. We have batting till #10 which makes that more easy for us. Also, two of their bowlers will be Chris Gayle and Mark Cosgrove and if we make use of their overs, their shouldn't be much of a problem for us to chase the total unless our batters play real bad cricket.
 
It will not be a problem for West Coast to win this one , should be an easy victory there.... :thumbs
