Bugibba Blasters won by 24 runs Gautam Singh 33(12) | Sajith Sukumaran 24(10) Suresh Dobal 2-15(1) | Ajin Soman 1-12(1)
The Bugibba Blasters posted a huge score and the Warriors knew at the halfway stage that they conceded 15-20 runs extra. Still, Rocky Dianish gave them the hope by smashing a couple of sixes and boundaries but Dobal had the last laugh against him. That over of Narender Negi shattered all the hopes of a Warriors' win as he conceded just 9 runs. His brother Devendra was smashed for three sixes by Sukumaran but it only helped the Warriors to reduce the deficit of the defeat.
These two teams will square off again in a couple of minutes time and it's going to be a full 10-over match. Let's see if the Warriors take revenge for their defeat, so switch tabs to find out the live updates shortly. Now, it's time to wrap up proceedings here, until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Arya signing off

Devendra Negi
0/21
3.6 Devendra Negi to Sajith Sukumaran, swipes away the length delivery down towards midwicket for a single.
3.5 Devendra Negi to Sajith Sukumaran, SIX! Three in three for Sukumaran. Again in the slot and that has been clobbed down the ground, nails it from the center of the bat and comfortably clears the long-on fence.
3.4 Devendra Negi to Sajith Sukumaran, SIX! Again in the slot from Negi, around the middle stump channel and Sukumaran laces into that. Wallops this well over the deep midwicket fence for another maximum.
3.3 Devendra Negi to Sajith Sukumaran, SIX! Sukumaran rocks back and pumps this slower and shortish length delivery a tad outside off well over the long-on fence. That was powered from the middle of the bat.
3.2 Devendra Negi to Shijil Joy, a low full toss well wide outside off. Shijil reaches out for it and cue ends that down towards the long-off fielder for a single.
3.1 Devendra Negi to Sajith Sukumaran, dropped again, this time by the keeper. A length delivery outside off, swung across the line only to get a top edge and eventually a single taken.
Devendra Negi, right-arm off break, comes into the attack
Some clever change of pace from Negi in that over but Joy should be given credit for smacking the last delivery over long-on

2.6 Narendar Negi to Shijil Joy, SIX! Now this time Shijil has got hold of it. Comes dancing down the track and fats that length delivery from his presence and comfortably clears the deep midwicket fence. That was struck with immense power.
