Daily Blast Comment: Another keen contest as predicted and the youngsters did it for their respective teams. Yasa Fayaz on debut played well enough to earn the Man of the Match award, but he simply could not save his team from defeat, as runs from Sudeep in the second innings really counted. Sudeep then held his own with the old ball and, though he initially started as a means to fill in the overs before the new balls was due, he ripped through the Black lower order to inspire victory. Of note is that Dylan Jellett achieved the first stumping in 5D cricket this season. The Blues keep it tight in the race for the Manuel Ramprakash Challenge Trophy and take a 2-1 season series lead over their archrivals.
