It did not look like a tough ask for the Crusaders and they made sure of that by knocking these runs off well inside seven overs!
They were helped too by 14 runs as extras but on the whole, the intent was there to get things over and done with early so as to improve the net run rate along with collecting two points.
The bowling and fielding from Overseas CC left a lot to be desired and with this loss, they can safely be said to be out of the reckoning for the semi-finals.
There is another match left in the day between these sides. So, it will be a chance for both these sides to get into a better position at the end of the day in this group.
6.3 Vincent Cost to Hesh Abeywickrema, WIDE! THAT IS THAT! Bit of an anti-climatic end to the game, but Crusaders have thrashed Overseas here and pick up two crucial points. Length delivery, but strays it down the leg-side, has been called a wide.
6.2 Vincent Cost to Affy Khan, back of a length on the off-stump, Affy taps it to covers for a quick single.
6.1 Vincent Cost to Affy Khan, EDGED AND FOUR! Back of a length, wide of off-stump. Affy reaches for it and gets a thick outside edge, down to third-man and finds the ropes.
Hesh Abeywickrema, RHB, is at the non-striker's end.
Vincent Cost, right-arm medium, is into the attack.
So, we are now down to what should be the last over of the match. There are six more runs left for the Crusaders to win.
