CW BLACK 203/3 39.3 overs
CW Black won by 7 wickets
Man of the match: Yasa Fayaz
Daily Blast Comment: Dominance by Black in this one. Blue fought initially with an opening stand of 131, but then the dominance set in. First Black took 10 wickets for 71 runs, then forced their point home with some effective top order batting, winning by 7 wickets without exposing the questionable lower order to any pressure. True to form, Yasa Fayaz took another Man of the Match for a solid unbeaten knock (including the winning runs) and two cheap yet extremely crucial wickets.
