7:04 PM IST, 5:34 PM Local Time: The Vista Riders have defended the total of 84/9 by six runs to win a classical fixture over the Aspin Stallions. S Sreesanth's boys have beaten the Harbharjan Singh-led side -- in a game where the fast-bowling captain was shrewd in his changes and field placement.
It all started with Sreesanth's opening over, where he stamped his authority with twin blows. It was followed by Andrew Tye taking a wicket in the second over and Awais Ahmed taking one in the fourth.
Suddenly, the Stallions were 5/4 with Ben Cutting walking out. The Australian all-rounder tried his best, scoring a 19-ball 35. He was partnered with Leus du Plooy for a bit, but kept losing partners after that. Dhananjaya Lakshan and Sharafuddin Ashraf also bagged a wicket each. Eventually, it was S Sreesanth's boys who sensationally defended a low score.
