End of the match!
Msida Warriors beat Red Stars by 43 runs.
Ajin Soman 31 (20) | Shijil Joy (3/9) Tony Thomas 16 (13) | Ajmal Ali (3/18)
That should be a very, very pleasing win for the Warriors. They didn't have a really good score and it looked like the second innings would at the very most be a tight chase. Hardly anyone would have expected it to be this one-sided.
But the bowling side did everything right. They hit the right, full lengths early on, extracted good swing and made sure they gave no freebies away, despite a few wides. RDS lost three overs in the powerplay and just never recovered from that.
Their best batter, Thomas was stranded at one end when the middle-order crumbled trying to counter-attack. Warriors caught well and just didn't let Stars off the hook. In the end, they took a really important win home at a really good time in the tournament.

It was interesting for how long Thomas was kept out of the strike there. Wickets kept falling from the other end and he could do nothing before eventually losing out too.
