2.5	Tillakaratne Dilshan to Elton Chigumbura, SIX, 77.57kph, The straight one now. Shouts of "catch it" but can only look on as the ball clears the ropes
2.6	Tillakaratne Dilshan to Elton Chigumbura, FOUR, 73.53kph, T Dilshan floats a delivery to E Chigumbura. That sped away like a tracer bullet. Fantastic square drive. That runs towards the boundary. Four runs

3.3	Angelo Mathews to Sean Ervine, dot, 116.67kph, A Mathews is struggling to find much pace off this surface and he finds a hint of swing from an off stump line. S Ervine struck that too firmly to take the single
3.4	Angelo Mathews to Sean Ervine, SIX, 130.00kph, short length outside off stump. Crunched through the leg side. Well executed square drive. Six runs! Fantastic batting
3.5	Angelo Mathews to Sean Ervine, 1, 125.46kph, Pitches outside off and it swings away. That sped away like a tracer bullet. Fantastic square drive. One more

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Sri Lankan Strikers claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Sri Lankan Strikers and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. Zimbabwean Riders really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against Sri Lankan Strikers and that's exactly how it played out. MATCH NOTES ----------- Zimbabwean Riders 63/4 5 overs Sri Lankan Strikers 66/2 4.4 overs

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. South African Scorchers will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. Kenyan Arks really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against South African Scorchers and that's exactly how it played out. MATCH NOTES ----------- Kenyan Arks 45/3 5 overs South African Scorchers 51/4 4.1 overs
