MCL: Gemini Arabians beat Sagittarius Strikers by 12 runs

Virender Sehwag is the Man of the Match.

436 runs scored in the match, including 31 sixes. A batting extravaganza, arguably the best batting performance of the tournament and the catch of the tournament as well.

The margin suggests a close game, but this was anything but that as the Arabians dominated from start to finish.

Arabians win by 12 runs and make it four in a row.

Another SIX. Could they have done this earlier?

SINGLE! 22 needed off the last three balls.

A couple means they need four sixes off the last four balls to win.

SIX! Bond gets the Strikers to 200. Now just 25 needed off five balls.

31 needed off the last over.

MAKE THAT BACK-TO-BACK SIXES FOR SANTOKIE.

SIX! SANTOKIE HITS A SIX. Nearly another stunner from Kemp

46 needed off the last two. Can they bat out or will the Strikers be bowled out?

Santokie walks in to bat. He has more T20 wickets (134) than runs (122).

WICKET! Arafat's entertaining cameo comes to an end as he is stumped. He is gone for a 16-ball 32. Strikers 177/9

21 came off that over and Strikers need 48 to win from the last three overs.

MAKE THAT THREE IN A ROW! Arafat smokes one out of the ground. Too little too late for the Strikers but still plenty of entertainment for the fans.

SIX and another SIX! Wickets might be falling down the order end but Arafat continues to clear the rope with ease. Back-to-back sixes off Saqlain Mushtaq.

WICKET! Hauritz is run-out as Strikers are now collapsing like a deck of cards. Strikers 158/8

Murali finishes his spell with three wickets. Strikers need 69 to win off the last four overs.

WICKET! Vettori tries to ape Arafat's six but only succeeds in being stumped by Sangakkara. Strikers 154/7 in 15.3 overs

SIX! Yasir Arafat smokes Muralitharan for a huge six and gets the Strikers total past 150.

78 needed off the last five overs. They can't do it. Surely?

Last 15 balls have gone for just 13 runs, including three wickets.

Spin twins, Muttiah Muralitharan and Saqlain Mushtaq are turning the game away from the Strikers, who did well to stay in touch for so long.

WICKET! Murali has another, Mustard is trapped lbw. Strikers 142/6

WICKET! Hameed is gone, has the Strikers hopes gone with him? Saqlain bowls his compatriot and Strikers are 136/5.

MISSED STUMPING! Hameed walks down and Saqlain throws it wide of leg stump but Sanga misses it and it goes for four wides.

End of an eventful Murali over, which cost 13 runs, including a wicket. Strikers 130/4 in 12 overs.

WICKET! Justin Kemp takes a blinder off just one hand. Farhat is gone for 51. Strikers 130/4.

SIX, SIX! Back-to-back sixes for Yasir Hameed off Muttiah Muralitharan. First through cover and then through cow corner. Strikers are after this target.

FIFTY for Farhat! He gets there with a six off Saqlain Mushtaq. Strikers 117/3 in 11 overs

DROPPED! Hameed is living a charmed life as he is dropped by Rudolph on the boundary off the first ball back from the time-out.

Muralitharan comes into bowl and delivers a good over until the last ball, which is hit for a six. Strikers 108/3 in 10 overs. Time for the time-out

The Strikers are making steady progress and at the end of nine overs, they are 96/3.

8th Over : 82 Runs / 3 Wickets

Strikers are keeping it close to the RR. Need to cut down on the boundaries. Rudolph to bowl. #SAGvGEM

Paul Harris' first over goes for just six singles. Strikers 65/3 after 7 overs.

At the end of the powerplay, Strikers are 59/3.

DROPPED! Chanderpaul drops a sitter and Yasir Hameed survives.

WICKET! After hitting two sixes in the over, Carberry is bowled, trying to cut Kemp. 56/3

SIX! It looked like a mis-hit but it sailed over the long off fence. Carberry has his second six of the over.

SIX! Fifty up for the Strikers, Carberry brings it up with a straight six over Kemp's head.

Last over of the powerplay will be bowled by Justin Kemp with the Strikers at 44/2.

Has any hope of Strikers chasing the total gone with Mahela's dismissal?

WICKET! Mahela is gone and Mills has another. Both openers gone. Strikers 37/2

14 runs from Mills' second over and the Strikers are starting to catch up. 28/1 after 3 overs.

SIX! Jayawardene has continued from where he left off in his last match and he launches Kyle Mills into the stand.

Although 12 runs came off that over, Strikers are still well behind the run rate. 14/1 after 2.

FOUR!!!!!! Straight down the ground from Farhat! A wild slog, but in any form of cricket, that is the safest place to hit

Jayawardene had an unbelievable match last time around and the Strikers will need a repeat performance from him of that sort to harbour any chance of winning this match

SIX! First six of the Strikers innings comes from Jayawardene, who goes past 200 runs in the tournament in style.
