6.18 pm So the final verdict is delivered and indeed Hafeez scored too slowly in his first innings half-century to give Warriors enough runs to defend. Assured knock by Rutherford gets Patriots over the line with breathing room to spare.

That's all from us today. Tomorrow is a day off at the CPL. Come back on Tuesday for yet another doubleheader. Thanks for tuning in. Take care!
