Commanders win comprehensively by 8 wickets. A brilliantly executed run chase by Collingwood knocks Legends out of the tournament as they can't make it to the semi-finals.

Legends lose their fourth consecutive game in the MCL as Commanders make it two in a row.

... who takes another single and the game is over.

No he can't as he takes a single and gives the strike to Symonds....

Just two runs to get off four overs. Can Colly finish things off for the Commanders?

Just four runs needed from 4.1 overs as Symonds smashes another four.

BACK-TO-BACK SIXES and FIFTY! Symonds, like his captain, gets to fifty with back-to-back sixes. It also brings up the 100 partnership.

SIX! Symonds gets to 49 with a straight six over Nicky Boje's head.

2 consecutive sixes by @Colly622 and that brings up the first fifty for @CapriCommanders in #MCL2020 134-2 in 15 overs #CAPvLIB

Commanders now just need 21 off the last five overs.

20 runs came off Hogg's last over, including three sixes. And that might just be the game.

BACK-TO-BACK SIXES FROM COLLINGWOOD! This one is a slogsweep over cow corner.

SIX and FIFTY! Collingwood leads from the front and becomes the first Commander to get to a fifty. Just 35 balls to get to his half-century.

Both batsmen into their forties now. Can they see their side home?

SIX! Symonds readily accepts a Hogg half-tracker, which is also the first boundary the Australian has conceded in the match.

Somewhat unusually, Andrew Symonds is playing the anchor role while Paul Collingwood is playing the aggressor. The pair have 69 runs off 8.5 overs and the Commanders are now cruising.

Just six runs came off that Ervine over and the Commanders 41 off 36 balls.

Commanders need 47 off the last seven overs.

SIX! Collingwood hits third six of the innings and McKay, who has had plenty of catches dropped off him, takes the punishment.

CENTURY up for Commanders! Collingwood executes his version of a cover drive and brings up the century for his side.

SIX! Collingwood belts his former England teammate for two sixes in three balls. 16 runs came off that Swann over. Was that the over Commanders was looking for? 96/2 in 12 overs

Another good over by Hogg and the Commanders are 80/2 in 11 overs.

Time for the strategic time-out and the Commanders are nicely placed at 73/2.

Graeme Swann into the attack.

Commanders need 88 off 66 balls. Can Commanders captain Collingwood see them home?

Ryan ten Doeschate's second over goes for 9 runs.

Brad Hogg follows that up with another tidy over. Commanders 52/2 from 7.

Just one run came off that over from the Dutchman. Commanders end the powerplay on 46/2

WICKET! ten Doeschate gets a wicket off his first ball as Cheema goes for a wild slog but misses completely and loses his stumps. Commanders 45/2

Boje's first over went for 16 runs as both Cheema and Symonds launch into the South African spinner. Commanders 45/1 from 5 overs.

FOUR and then a SIX! Rizwan Cheema is on 10 from just 4 balls and he launches Nicky Boje almost out of the ground. Commanders 36/1 in 4.2 overs

WICKET! Slower ball does the trick for Ervine as Prince is deceived and the Commanders are 25/1.

DROPPED! Symonds absolutely clobbers one back to Ervine, who couldn't hang on and it hits him on his face.

SIX! He ends the over with another six and the Commanders end the third over on 24/0.

SIX! Prince has had enough and he walks down and just slaps McKay for a six over mid-wicket.

Unfortunately McKay and Ervine make a good start for the Legends. Just 11 runs off the first two overs.

The Commanders come out to bat and their usual openers Ashwell Prince and Andrew Symonds will be looking to give them a fast start.

Collingwood will be very happy with his side's ability to reduce the damage in the latter half of the innings. Can they chase 155, join us in a while to find out.

That was a brilliant last over by @Benlaughlin55 ! @LibraLegendsMCL end their innings with 154-7 on board #MCL2020 #CAPvLIB

Kallis will be disappointed as his team lost their last six wickets for just 54 runs off the last 52 balls after a 89-run opening partnership between Lumb and Kallis.

Just 30 runs came off the last five overs as Legends finish on 154/7.

Razzaq hits the stumps but Brad Hogg is comfortably home.

150 up for Legends. Five balls to go.

The last over will be bowled by Ben Laughlin. How many can the Legends get?

WICKET! Another good catch from the Commanders results in a wicket. Ambrose gone for 9. Legends 149/7 with an over to go.

WICKET! Kleinveldt strikes and Ratra has to walk back after being trapped lbw. Legends 146/6

Kleinveldt comes in to bowl the penultimate over.
