130 to win for WSF. It was a struggle all the way through, and they faltered early in the innings with four wickets down as WSF didn't allow them to get off the hook. Saif Badar and Nitish Kumar were going well but threw away their wickets after getting solid starts. Andre Russell was firing on all cylinders but then miscued one and departed for 20. David Miller could only add one, slicing it straight to Smith at backward point. The tail did what they could to avoid a quick collapse but 129 is what they have scrambled to in the end. Netravalkar started the rot with two wickets in the second over and then Maxwell foxed Shakib Al Hasan as LAKR were left tottering at 13/3 in the third over. Ferguson got the prized wicket of Roy in the fifth and wickets continued to tumble with no big partnership

Netravalkar to Ali Khan, OUT, Swatted insolently off the backfoot but goes straight into the hands of Maxwell at deep midwicket who takes a fabulous running catch with his shades on. His ebullience comes to an end after 10 balls. Was a slowish shortish ball outside off, wanted to continue with his bullheaded ways but didn't get the distance on this occasion.

Ali Khan c Maxwell b Netravalkar 11 (10b 0x4 1x6) SR: 110.00
