And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Blasters claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Blasters 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. Spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Blasters proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
