We certainly have the wickets needed, although we were 64 for 2 at the same stage.
You're looking in a strong position too. As long as you don't allow them to get ahead of the run rate and keep chipping away at the wickets you should be fine.

We both had easy wins in the end.

We're still in 7th place but only 4 points separating 4th and 7th.

Clouston starred with the ball with 5 wickets. Evans got us off to a decent start with the bat before 47 from Whitehead and 52 not out for Clarke lead us to all the points.

Forgot to mention D. Bonnor (rws) and his brilliant spell of 8-1-13-2, especially after his spell of 4-1-8-1 on Monday.

I thought the bowling would at least start okay on a sticky pitch before Topmen's superior quality told but that's not going to be the case and it's going to be a big defeat. We might manage to be full strength next week.

I don't think we're going to chase this successfully. Callaway was the best of our bowlers with 5-44 but most of those wickets were far too late to make a dent in the scoreboard.

A few players have got a bit of a start and then got out. Liberatore was the best with 46. If we had a lot more wickets in hand then this wouldn't be too bad but as it is we're just trying to limit any run rate damage.

Avila got to 55 but it was always going to be tough to chase 259 on a sticky pitch.

Need a win today against the side that propping up the table.

Green pitch and it was a decent effort although could have been better after we got them down to 16-3.

The batting has started well.

End of over 12 (3 runs) - Ruff Royals(112-1). 18 runs required from 8 overs. RR 9.33 RRR 2.25

Evans out for 65: he really likes a T20 half-century this season as that's his 4th. We're looking on course for a big win which should boost the NRR nicely.

Ruff Royals won by 8 wickets.

Mills ends up on 49 not out after Evans' 65. Schneider was the best of our bowlers with 2-15 from his 4 overs.

That win might get us back into the top 4 depending on NRR.
