Presidents XI 104/6 in 9.1 overs Jamshed Nassiri 27(14) | Anurudha Munasinghe 3/14 Rohnullah Mangal 26(13) | Saijeevan Kumaran 1/21
Rohnullah Mangal finishes off in style and he ensures that the Presidents XI will end up with 104 in their 10 overs. It has been a superb game of cricket and it ended up being a low scoring thriller as the Balbyniens did manage to drag the game into the final over of the innings.
Presidents XI struggled to get going and lost way too many wickets in the first half and looked down and out at one stage before the pair of Jamshed Nassiri and Rohnullah Mangal got going and took them over the finish line in the end despite the best efforts from the bowlers. The likes of Zain or Lingeswaran couldn't do much in this run chase as they were dismissed cheaply early on.
Anurudha Munasinghe picked up as many as three wickets in his two overs and he kept the Balbyniens in the game despite the low total on the board. Saijeevan Kumaran also picked up a wicket as did Thavalingam but he went for far too many in his spell and it cost them the game in the end.
