Match summary:

Micoud Eagles win by 7 wickets with 8 balls to spare

Mervin Wells 41(22) | Lance Sammy 3/16 (2)
Denlee Anthony 26(14) | Dexter Solomon 2/5 (1)

They made it just a touch difficult for themselves towards the latter stages of the run-chase, but the Micoud Eagles were past the line eventually! And it was all thanks to the start provided by their openers, more specifically, Mervin Wells! Shervin Charles gave him good company as the right-hander took down the bowlers in the powerplay, providing the Eagles with the perfect start to the chase.

Despite a couple of economical overs at the end of the powerplay, the Eagles were well ahead. Wells kept finding the boundary in the middle overs, running well between the wickets as well. Dexter Solomon, having been handed the ball in the 8th over with the game well out of the Raiders' grasp, picked up two quick wickets and delayed the inevitable. Murray Sammy took a while after that, but ensured that he got his team past the line all by himself.

8.4 Rick Moses to Murlan Sammy, FOUR! Full outside off-stump, Murlan swings away from the body, gets a thick outside edge and the ball flies wide of short third for a boundary

8.1 Rick Moses to Murlan Sammy, FOUR! Pitched up on middle stump, Murlan drills it straight down the ground and the ball beats long-on on this occasion

7.5 Dexter Solomon to Kuston Jules, OUT! Full outside off-stump, Jules moves across to clip this across but gets an outside edge. It's a double strike for Solomon

7.1 Dexter Solomon to Mervin Wells, OUT! Pitched up outside off-stump, Wells drives away from the body, gets a thick outside edge and the keeper takes a regulation catch

The Eagles have left 11 runs for the final three overs. Seems more like a cakewalk than anything. The game might be over in this over itself!
