End of over 15 (8 runs) - Jaffna Jets(59-0). 133 runs required from 35 overs. RR 3.93 RRR 3.80
S. Buultjens 26 (45b) , A. Kodikara 31 (46b) , S. Souza 3-1-13-0

15.1 W Saitoti to Kodikara : [catch] That ball shapes away, catches the edge and Otieno takes it at first slip. Kodikara starts the slow and lonely walk back to the pavilion.
A. Kodikara c J. Otieno b. B. Saitoti 31 (47b 2x4 0x6) SR:65.96

Flat pitch, but a fair bit of swing around it seems. Knocked them over for 181. Was going ok in my chase until I lost my first wicket.

Blackcaps going well so far... 96/2 23.2 overs

End of over 35 (5 runs) - Blackcaps(133-3) RR 3.80
W. Nye 53 (89b) , S. Smart 3 (12b) , G. McRae 8-0-32-1

At least they're tying down the runs.

Congrats to Scaly and Jaffna too. Swamibapa in serious danger of relegation.

Haha. Wasn't sure whether to pick Moylan for this game.

35.3 W Moylan to Smart : [catch] Short and wide outside the off stump, Smart shuffles across and flashes hard at it. The ball clips the edge and goes straight to Britt behind the stumps.
S. Smart c R. Britt b. N. Moylan 4 (14b 0x4 0x6) SR:28.57

35.4 W Moylan to Chappell : It was a hopeless long-hop until Chappell pulled it straight to Jones at square leg - what a mess!
D. Chappell c J. Jones b. N. Moylan 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00

35.6 W Moylan to Walkley : An excellent delivery spins sharply. Walkley playing from the crease pushes at the ball which goes through and strikes the stumps.
C. Walkley b. N. Moylan 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00

2w in two balls !

Need to build some serious partnership at quick rate. All of a sudden its been precarious situation

EDIT: 3w in 1 overs oh my god

[alternative]

Congrats to saggers.

Blackcaps nearly batted out the 50 overs.

Worried here though. My best batsman gone to a [catch], and McCauley dropped already. And last time I had enough trouble chasing 140.

End of over 6 (4 runs) - Dynamo Morpork(22-1). 172 runs required from 44 overs. RR 3.67 RRR 3.91
N. McCauley 11 (18b) , H. Hill 9 (11b) , C. Walkley 3-0-11-0

Oh! Is he your best batsman?
Then, I must say I got a chance here

Definitely.

That said, the top five is roughly equal, and Britt at eight is reasonable/reasonable. So imo, it should be a question of whether they get the runs in the required time.

Good match in store!

Nye scored 81 in my side. Just checking your ground highest scores, its highest for the moment

My 3rd finger spinner taken to the cleaners

End of over 18 (7 runs) - Dynamo Morpork(54-2). 140 runs required from 32 overs. RR 3.00 RRR 4.38
H. Hill 23 (43b) , J. Jones 12 (37b) , N. Hitchcock 4-0-10-0

Run rate picking up. Jones is on defensive, certainly doing that job well.

[Raghav]

I think you are on course to win the match. good partnership going
