Batting first, San Francisco Unicorns were firing on all cylinders right from the word go as Finn Allen and Jake Fraser-McGurk decimated the bowlers and built a match-winning partnership. A bit of help from the middle order pushed the total to 219. LAKR managed to put a lid on the scoring at the death, conceding only 35 runs in the last five overs. In reply, Andre Fletcher went about his business in his typical belligerent fashion before miscuing one to long-off on 19 and Alex Hales fell early in the piece. Unmukt Chand struck a quickfire fifty to keep the team in the hunt, Nitish Kumar added 18 and then Matthew Tromp raced to 41. Late in the innings, Sunil Narine chipped in with a brisk 27 but the asking rate kept creeping up. One of the real difference between the two sides was Haris Rauf; he kept breathing fire, consistently bowling at 90mph and above, mixing in cunning slower balls and ended up with four wickets. Xavier Bartlett was on fire too, as he wrapped up the tail
