Group A: T&T vs East Robbham Upper Body
In their most complete performance of the tournament to date, Upper Body dented Trinidad and Tobago's unbeaten record with a comfortable 28-run win. Things started poorly after Nath Patrick chose to bat - Hughes (0) and Smith (4) back in the pavilion within the first 3 overs. But Shane Watson stood tall and played a series of a crunching pull shots on his way to 77. Joshua Ritchie and Bosco Fitzsimmons again chimed in in the middle order, with 40 and 42 respectively, and Upper Body reached an impressive 181-5.
Notably Dave Mohammed went wicketless for 46 runs against the team he helped to the Champions League.
The large total looked particularly intimidating as Liam Camps and Nath Patrick pegged back 3 quick wickets for 27. But like Watson before him, West Indies opener Adrian Barath played an attractive hand to keep hope alive. His 43 came from 26 balls, until he produced a thin edge to Fitzsimmons behind the stumps. Wickets tumbled as the required rate escalated, and T&T ultimately needed a 32-run stand for the last wicket to salvage their pride.
Upper Body 181-5 (20 overs)
SR Watson 77 (53), BC Fitzsimmons 42 (27), JJ Ritchie 40 (22)
R Rampaul 2-33 (4), DA Kearsley 1-37 (4)
T&T 153 all out (18.3 overs)
AB Barath 43 (26), D Mohammed 20 (13), DA Kearsley 19 (18)
LA Camps 4-32 (3.3), NL Patrick 2-34 (4)
Upper Body won by 28 runs | Man of the Match: SR Watson
Group B: West Robbham Rabid Wolves vs Otago
Underdogs Otago stunned West Robbham, chasing 180 to win with 7 balls to spare. Internationals Brendon McCullum and Aaron Redmond sparked the impressive chase with a quickfire 80 for the first wicket, within 7 overs. McCullum was bowled by Flintoff for 40 (25 balls), but Redmond batted on and battered the Rabid Wolves seamers. He hit 5 fours and 4 sixes in 86 from 49 balls. By the time he was caught behind off Flintoff, 3 overs were left to score 18 runs. The potentially tricky chase was made easy by Greg Todd, as he lashed 3 consecutive fours off Flintoff.
The Rabid Wolves batted well earlier in the day, led by Dan Rai who atoned for consecutive ducks with a top score of 81. He hit 5 sixes and 2 fours and anchored a total of 179-6. In the closing stages the key batting came from Mørk, however, as he launched McSkimming into the stands twice on his way to 24 from 9 balls.

Decent chance of making the final. Continuing the baffling trend of bowling well in T20.

Group A: Deccan vs East Robbham Upper Body
East Robbham continued to gather momentum as they beat Deccan by 4 wickets for a third victory of the campaign. Upper Body captain Nath Patrick rounded off a fine bowling performance with a 4-wicket haul, as Deccan posted a meagre 100 all out. While Patrick, a CW XI discard, had the best figures of 4-19, the real damage was done by spinners Cannon (2-14) and McNamara (3-26) in the middle overs. They shared 5 wickets and rushed through a batting lineup where only four players reached double figures.
What should have been an easy chase was complicated by the failure of Phil Hughes (6) and Dan Smith (12) at the top of the order. The latter was caught in the deep of left-armer Pragyan Ojha, who went on to snap up Fitzsimmons, Camps and Dinnen for a hat-trick of ducks. But a foundation had been laid by Shane Watson (31) and Joshua Ritchie. From 77-6, Ritchie smashed four consecutive sixes - including a free hit - off the luckless Harmeet Singh to seal the result.

Group B: West Robbham Rabid Wolves vs Kolkata
Kolkata Knight Riders batted first and posted a challenging 177-7, but an all-CW Rabid Wolves lineup chased it down impressively, with 8 balls to spare. Crucial to the effort was Nick Scott, who launched Ajit Agarkar for 3 sixes, and hit 7 in total, as he raised the third hundred of the tournament- 119 off 63 balls. The opener was in irresistible form and ensured that West Robbham never had any difficulties bouncing back from defeat in the previous round.
It was a less certain affair for the bowlers, particularly captain Kev Gough, who was belted for 43 from his 3 overs. CWer Matt Luff (64) and in-form allrounder Laxmi Shukla (50*) were the standouts, after Raghav Suryadevara set Kolkata back with some good new ball bowling. Suryadevara took 2-26, and fellow seamer Matt Mikey Smith continued his excellent form with a tidy 1-24 from 4 overs.
