Chasing 150 to win, happy enough restricting our opponents to 149ao from 44 overs.

Issa out for 86. Paton out for 56. McCall for 54.

S. Jadeja (rws) 10-0-54-3, M. Roberson 5 (2b), P. Callaway 3 (4b)
End of over 50 (7 runs) - Ruff Royals(313-7) RR 6.26

I think that's going to be enough! Now I need my bowlers to perform to get us a really big win.

S. Hodges (rfs) 1-0-7-0, W. Ivory 16 (31b), F. Coetzer 35 (37b)
End of over 12 (7 runs) - bluekipper8878(59-1). 255 runs required from 38 overs. RR 4.92 RRR 6.71

Not a great start from the bowlers. We need to get Wang out and Francois too. Some of the batters after are less than 1k waged.

won the toss and had a bowl on dry/sunny. Opps had a great opening partnership of 78 helped by 2 drops, but then collapsed to 177 all out. We're currently 73/0 from 22.

Callaway to Ivory : [catch] An ugly swipe takes the top edge. Callaway tracks the swirling ball and gleefully accepts the catch.
W. Ivory c & b. P. Callaway 18 (41b 1x4 1x6) SR:43.90

Wang out! We made hard work of it but finally finished him off. Francois next please and we'll really have both ends open.

Big win which happened quite quickly once we got Wang Ivory out. Best bowling figures were 4-18 for Hodges and 2-8 for Callaway.

Seven wicket win today,and it only took us 30.1 overs to chase down the target.

Wasn't expecting such an easy win.

wonderful effort by the opening bats, seeing us home to a 10 wicket win with a 178 run opening stand. Excellent days work against an opponent who we usually struggle against.

I don't think that's going to be easy to chase.

Ended up 112 for 8 from our 20, can’t see us defending that.

As expected we lost,by 6 wickets in the end.
