Mumbai Indians wins by 3 wickets

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Mumbai Indians claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Mumbai Indians 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. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Mumbai Indians was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered.

Guess choosing to bat first didn't worked well for the All Stars. Universe Boss started the innings with 4 consecutive sixes! Despite Tahir's double-wicket over, All Stars weren't really in the game. Thus, Mumbai Indians won the match with 9 balls to spare...

All Stars wins by 24 runs

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with All Stars claiming an impressive victory by 24 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by All Stars 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. 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 All Stars proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Kolachi wins by 9 runs

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. Kolachi will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. 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 Kolachi proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

1.1	@James Faulkner to @Kane Williamson, 0, 125.16kph, Wicket to wicket delivery. Spanked through the off side. Great cover drive. Not in the gap
1.2	@James Faulkner to @Kane Williamson, 1, 125.49kph, That one goes on straight. K Williamson late cuts but doesn't time it at all. Misfields allowing the batsman to go through for the single
1.3	@James Faulkner to @Aaron Finch, 1, 128.62kph, J Faulkner pushes this through at no great pace and he hits a short length just outside off. A Finch drives but can't time it properly. That is an excellent call by A Finch. One run

1.5	@James Faulkner to @Kane Williamson, 6, 125.56kph, This one is military medium from J Faulkner and he bowls this gun-barrel straight. Excellent timing from K Williamson as he plays a cut. That has been caught in the crowd! Six
1.6	@James Faulkner to @Kane Williamson, 4, 125.70kph, No great pace there from J Faulkner and he maintains a tight line just outside off. That sped away like a tracer bullet. Fantastic cut. Not quite where K Williamson intended it to go
Not the best of outings from J Faulkner. He'll want to forget this in a hurry.

Diamond Eagles wins by 5 runs

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. Diamond Eagles will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. 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 Diamond Eagles proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Bhuvneshwar provided great start to his team by picking up crucial wicket of Hales. Kane Williamson was in sub line form. Aaron Finch also batted well. But All Stars lost by just 5 runs in the end. Had Kane Williamson not have to retire not out, we could've seen a different story...

Well bowled, Kolachi. Never thought I'd say 'well bowled' in a super sixes game. Nonetheless, good game.

We'll retain the winning combination.
