Wayamba beat Victorian Bushrangers by 15 runs
Victorian Bushrangers
Wayamba
Wayamba Elevens have won by 15 runs. However, they won't be celebrating as they failed to restrict the Victorian Bushrangers to less than 84, which means they don't qualify for the next round. On a pitch that was slow and low, Wayamba bowled extremely well and never allowed Victoria to settle into a rhythm. Brad Hodge was the lone warrior but even he could only manage 44 after coming in as opener and staying unbeaten till the end. Chanaka picked up two wickets but the addition of Herath made the big difference as he put the brakes on the scoring rate. Victorian Bushrangers will go into the next round, along with Delhi Daredevils, from this group. Sadly for Wayamba they will go home after a bittersweet tournament. Shane Harwood, from the losing team, is named Man of the Match for his figures of 14-3. Do stay with us for the second match of the day. Diamond Eagles and Sussex Sharks take on each other in what is a do-or-die game for both sides. Both teams lost to New South Wales Blues in their opening encounter so whoever wins this match will go through to the next round. The match will get underway in about 40 minutes. Do join us then.

The Wayamba side are out in the middle. They are probably discussing how to bowl out the Victoria side for less than 83. Out walk the Victoria openers, Brad Hodge and Rob Quiney, now. Their task is cut out. They need to score 84 runs at 4.2 runs an over to head their group and qualify for the next round. It should be fairly easy considering they have some strong willow-wielders in their squad. A win, would make this victory even more special for them. 119 should not be a big total for them. Wayamba will need to bowl out of their skins to win. Chanaka Welegedara will begin proceedings for the Sri Lankan unit. Here we go.
