That will be the match
A very close match indeed but in the end the Canterbury Kings batsmen managed to overtake the total
Canterbury Kings played very well chasing such a big total
They made it with just 17 balls to spare

We hope you will be joining us in the coming matches

Great performance by pretty much every player. Feels good to beat the Aces, who were the team to beat for most of the tournament.
