00:50 IST and 09:20 PM Local Time | Cape Town Samp Army cruise to a one sided victory over NY Lagos Strikers with a 22 run win, thanks to fine knocks of Dawid Malan and Rohan Mustafa.
Here's a review of what happened in the match.
NY Lagos Strikers won the toss and put Cape Town Samp Army into bat. Batting first, they lost Brian Bennet on the very first ball of the innings. Dawid Malan and Rohan Mustafa then joined hands and put in a match winning 111 run stand for the second wicket as they smashed the NY Lagos Strikers bowlers to all parts of the ground.
The former batter made 63 runs off just 25 balls while the latter played a knock of 50 runs off 23 balls. Some late hits from Leonardo Julien and Qias Ahmad powered them to a commanding score of 151/4.
Chasing 152, NY Lagos Strikers got off to a good steady start before losing their star batter Rassie van der Dussen on the score of 35 inside 2.5 overs.
Wicket fell at regular intervals and the required rate kept climbing up. Thisara Perera then walked out to bat at number 6 and smashed a quickfire knock of 48 runs in just 17 balls including 6 sixes and 2 fours, but his knock wasn't enough to get his side over the line as NY Lagos Strikers lost the match by 22 runs.
Amir Hamza was the pick of the bowler for his team as he bagged 2 wickets in his quota of 2 overs. Stay tuned for the post match presentation coming up shortly!
