That's the end of the game and Cape Town Thunder wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. Guyana Hornets was never in the game but that is more down to Cape Town Thunder'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 Cape Town Thunder proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

[Ohm]

We're still into experimentation mode, and that win away from home is delightful.

 

[Perfect Square]

It was a tough pitch to bat on. Still we could've got to 155+ but 143 was just enough for our bowlers and they successfully delivered for us.

2 wins out of 2. Pretty happy that we've qualified...

 

[SixerBoy11]

Poor batting performance. The target was also not that big.
