And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Bangladesh Knights claiming an impressive victory by 5 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Bangladesh Knights 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. Bangladesh Knights was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered. That said, its the end of Canadian Warriors journey in this tournament and Bangladesh and Australia have qualified for the top 10 spot.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with New Zealand Crusaders claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by New Zealand Crusaders 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. Dutch Cats really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against New Zealand Crusaders and that's exactly how it played out. MATCH NOTES ----------- Dutch Cats 63/3 5 overs New Zealand Crusaders 65/3 4.4 overs

4.2	Karim Sadiq to Shahid Afridi, dot, 70.00kph, Not in the gap
4.3	Karim Sadiq to Shahid Afridi, 1, 73.15kph, The offie now and it turns into the batsman. S Afridi puts bat to ball but mistimes it. Hit straight to the fielder. The batsman scamper a quick single

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Pakistani Pistons claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Pakistani Pistons 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. Afghan Warriors really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against Pakistani Pistons and that's exactly how it played out. MATCH NOTES ----------- Afghan Warriors 59/3 5 overs Pakistani Pistons 60/3 5 overs
