10:40 PM IST and 7:10 PM Local: That's a huge victory for the NY Lagos Strikers, who, for now, have bagged the second spot on the final day of the league stage!
After putting on a solid total of 124 runs, the NY team had enough runs in their bank against an out of form Durban Wolves.
Chasing a mammoth total, the Wolves had an awful start to their innings as they lost Sharjeel Khan in the second over. Mark Chapman came out to up the ante, but he wasn't meant to be for the explosive Kiwi.
He first lost Will Smeed, and then lost the plot against Akhilesh Reddy himself. Durbam's batting kept on falling like a pack of cards as they got to 52/7 at one stage. Innocent Kaia swung his bat in the end, but the game was long gone for the Wolves as they lose it by 53 runs.

Thisara Perera (Winning Captain): " Really happy to finish in the Top 2. Our bowling did a great job today to defend a score of 125 runs today. We just try to play good cricket and we don't get nervous of a big match. Avishka and Rassie gives us great foundation to bat on."
