Mustamae Bulls 126/4 in 10 overs Eranga Wickramasinghe 41*(16) | Steffan Gooch 2/24 Praveen Muthukrishnan 34*(17) | David Robson 1/18
The Bulls eventually end up with 126 from their 10 overs and they gave the Hippo a real run for their money. They will be feeling that a better bowling performance could have helped them to win this game as the margin was quite narrow in the end. They will pick up a point though as they lost by just 19 runs.
They lost wickets early on in the innings but the likes of Wickramasinghe and Muthukrishnan did really well in the middle overs as they put up big partnerships. Sathasivam too played a really important and entertaining cameo in the middle overs to give them a glimmer of hope.
The Hippos bowlers didn't exactly have the best of times but they did just enough to ensure the victory for them. Stefan Gooch did pick up two wickets while David Robson also picked up a wicket. The rest of the bowlers took some real pounding.

Kalle Vislapuu
1/20
9.6 Kalle Vislapuu to Shravan Chandra, DROP CATCH TO FINISH! BUT THE HIPPOS WIN! HOWEVER, THE BULLS TAKE THE BONUS POINT. Full and slow on off-stump. The big hoick across the line from deep in the crease. Mid-wicket settled under it but could not hold on to the ball on the full. One run gets given away.
9.5 Kalle Vislapuu to Eranga Wickramasinghe, full and slow around off-stump. A big swing and a miss but the miss by the keeper allows for a bye!
9.4 Kalle Vislapuu to Eranga Wickramasinghe, SIX RUNS! Another length ball on off-stump. Clubbed high and handsome over long-off from the crease for a maximum!
9.3 Kalle Vislapuu to Eranga Wickramasinghe, SIX! Good length ball around off-stump. Thumped over long-off from the crease for a huge one!
9.2 Kalle Vislapuu to Eranga Wickramasinghe, full and slow on the pads. A swing and a miss from the crease but this does not get connected, no leg-bye either.
9.1 Kalle Vislapuu to Eranga Wickramasinghe, full toss with pace taken off, on off-stump. Pushed back to the bowler off the toe end of the bat, no run.
Shravan Chandra, RHB, comes to the crease.
Stefan Gooch ends a really expensive over with a wicket and the Bulls have managed to thwart the bonus point opportunity for the Hippos! They will need 34 runs from the final over though and it seems improbable.
