Daily Blast Comment: A great fight from both teams throughout the game, but ultimately the Reds lost their nerve and wickets at the crucial stage of the chase and end up once again competing with the Blacks but not winning. Well-played by Dave and Imran Khan Jr. to comeback after very expensive opening spells and also to Yasa Fayaz for a debut half-century.

ENGLAND 'A' 225 48.4 overs
CRICKET WEB GREEN 226/6 47.4 overs
Cricket Web Green won by 4 wickets
Man of the match: Nathan Hoy
Daily Blast Comment: Shotty fielding by Cloete was returned by the Englishmen and the CW XI batsman ultimately struck form at the best possible time, scoring his highest score of the season and just his 2nd OD half-century ahead of the Chairman's Trophy. He was made to share the spotlight though, as Nathan Hoy continued to make a name for himself, following up his 6 wickets against CW Red with 5 more in a brilliant exhibition of pace. Impressive win for the Greens, considering the bowling attack largely didn't fire initially. Well-bowled by Majin on debut.

AUSTRALIA 'A' 229 49.4 overs
CRICKET WEB BLUE 218/8 50.0 overs
Australia 'A' won by 11 runs
Man of the match: David Hussey
Daily Blast Comment: Peter Young was almost the least likely of heroes when he blasted 5 sixes in his highest List-A score. In partnership with Mr M, it looked as though the Blues might edge home a difficult pitch, but wickets were lost at crucial stages and the lower order players couldn't push on sufficiently. Not that badly played by the Blues overall though, just outplayed. Credit to the part-time bowlers, Sudeep and Paid the Umpire who did a fine job. Umpire especially was superb during the slog overs. Also well-played by Nath Patrick to continue his solid season.
