JP Duminy ended the match with a four and a six


That's the end of the game and Unlimited Titans wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. Highveld Lions was never in the game but that is more down to Unlimited Titans'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 Unlimited Titans proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Kevin Pietersen and Ryan McLaren batted positively and won despite Ashwin's 4 wickets

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Sunfoil Dolphins claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Sunfoil Dolphins 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 Sunfoil Dolphins proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Wow, what a partnership between McLaren and Abbott. I expected a bit more from our top 4 though. The bowlers did their job well. I would've given the MoM to McLaren. He was crucial with both bat and ball.
