Match summary:

Mon Repos Stars win by 13 runs

Sabinus Emmanuel 44(27) | Jamal Lesmond 1/14 (2)
Mervin Wells 39(29) | Sanjay Pamphile 2/17 (2) 

The ball flew over the ropes on quite a few occasions towards the back end of the innings, but it was a touch too late for the Eagles' liking! A disciplined bowling effort from the Mon Repos Stars see them prevail in this intriguing encounter in the end. Barring Mervin Wells, we didn't see too many fireworks from the Eagles top-order, which saw the game drift away from them. As it turned out, Murlan Sammy's arrival to the centre came a bit too late.

Shawnil Edward, Keon Gaston and Shadrack Descartes ensured that the Eagles weren't able to make the most of the powerplay, choking down on the runs with Gaston nipping out an out-of-sorts Shervin Charles. Wells then started to connect, but the boundaries were few and far in between. Daren Sammy, nursing a leg injury, walked out to rescue his team from a precarious position, but he struggled to influence the game quite a lot. 

Mervin Wells' wicket in the penultimate over seemed to be the death knell for the Eagles. Murlan Sammy and Sanjay Pamphile did strike a few off the middle, but it was simply not enough. In the end, Mon Repos Stars took the game by 13 runs.

9.6 Shawnil Edward to Murlan Sammy, SIX! Short delivery, Murlan runs down the track and slaps it over wide long-off for a maximum. However, Micoud Eagles still fall short by 13 runs!

9.5 Shawnil Edward to Murlan Sammy, FOUR! Length delivery outside-off, Murlan shimmies down the pitch and slashes it to deep cover for a boundary

9.2 Shawnil Edward to Sanjay Pamphile, SIX! Full-toss on the stumps, Sanjay swings it straight down the ground for a maximum. Looked like a mis-hit but the ball still carried over the fence

Shawnil Edward (1-0-6-0) is back into the attack

Despite the maximum from Murlan Sammy, the game seems done and dusted. The Eagles need almost every ball to disappear into the stands from here.

8.6 Shadrack Descartes to Murlan Sammy, IN THE AIR BUT SAFE! Length delivery on the stumps, Murlan backs away and swings hard but he mis-times it between deep mid-wicket and long-on. Single taken

8.4 Shadrack Descartes to Murlan Sammy, SIX! Short outside-off, Murlan pulls it over long-on for a maximum. A good strike for the Eagles after a long time!

8.2 Shadrack Descartes to Mervin Wells, GONE! Short outside-off, Mervin attempts to pull but he top-edges it. The keeper runs to his right and takes a simple catch!
