Sussex
New South Wales Blues
New South Wales Blues have defeated the Sussex Sharks by 35 runs. They have now won their second successive match of the Champions League Twenty20. With that, they progress to the next round of the tournament. The Sussex Sharks were completely outplayed by a top-class bowling side on a wicket that was difficult to bat on from the start of the match. Chasing 131 was never going to be easy against a hostile bowling attack. Lee and Bollinger were economical from the start and Henriques continued his good run of form throughout the day, by picking up three wickets. 4 wickets fell in 10 balls in the middle of the innings and the Sharks always found it tough to recover from there. Moises Henriques is named Man of the Match for his half century and three wickets. Do stay with us for the second match of the day which begins in about 30 minutes. Delhi Daredevils take on Wayamba Elevens in what is a must-win game for the home-team. A win for the Sri Lankan-Wayamba will knock Delhi out of the tournament. We'll see you when that clash gets underway. Don't go anywhere.
