In the end, this turned out to be a rather one-sided game in favour of Oeiras CC. The total set up by the Indian Royals was a mediocre one and their opponents brooked no difficulty in chasing it down. Conrad Greenshields was the star for Oeiras, as he struck a match-winning unbeaten knock of 38.
Azhar Andani gave him good support from the other end, and ended with 17 runs to his name. Earlier in the day, Carlo Buccimazza and Girish Singh picked up a couple of wickets apiece to set Oeiras on this victory. The Royals will be unhappy with the way they performed in this game, especially after the stunning performance they put up against Gamblers earlier in the day.
