DEV won by 8 wickets
DEV - 126/2 (9.1 overs)
Mamoon Khan - 65(30) | Usama Kajla - 51(23)
Kalpa Ilankoon - 1/19 | Nishantha Liyanage - 1/31


DEV wraps up the contest comfortably to register an 8-wicket win over BLB. Mamoon Khan and Usama Kalja script a century stand for the second wicket to propel DEV to their second win in three games. 

Chasing a target of 121 runs, DEV were dealt an early blow when they lost opener Wahab Baig for a duck as early as the first over. However, Mamoon and Kajla took the onus on themselves of rebuilding the innings and propelling the scoreboard toward victory. BLB bowlers looked clueless in the middle and it was only in the penultimate over of the run-chase that Nishantha Liyanage could break the partnership. 

Although Mamoon departed at a crucial moment, the carnage had already been done. Kalja continued the momentum and eventually took DEV over the finishing line with 5 balls to spare. For BLB, Kalpa Ilankoon and Nishantha Liyanage were the only wicket-takers, finishing with a scalp apiece. 

BLB will need to get back to the board after their fifth straight loss in as many matches in a bid to turn around fortunes and put their first points on the board.
9.1 Muhammad Hasnain to Ahmed Khan, SIX! IT'S ALL OVER! Vikings thrash Blizzards as they romp home by eight wickets. Length delivery on the stumps, Ahmed has CLOBBERED it way over long-on to seal the deal in style. Blizzards remain winless in the tournament!

The job's almost done for BLB. Liyanage finds a wicket but it comes too late as the destruction has already been done. DEV need 1 more from 6 balls

No change in fortunes for BLB as Hasnain fails to get a breakthrough and ends up leaking 14 runs. Mamoon Khan and Usama Kajla looks well settled to take their team over the finishing line. Can the BLB bowlers script a late fightback? DEV need 21 more from 12 balls.
