Commentary

That finishes the first game. There is another one coming up in a short while between Kolkata and Perth. Do join us for that. Until next time, see ya!

Behardien: 'The trend has been for the batters to get in and only in the last couple of overs did I capitalise. I spoke to Jacques and we had the full license for the last 5 overs, luckily it came off today.'

Behardien is the MoM for his attacking cameo and for his three catches.

van Jaarsveld: 'It was a clinical performance. At the top Davids and Rudolph laid the platform for us. Behardien was outstanding at the death. With the ball, asked the guys to hit the deck hard and when they do, it is pretty easy to captain.'

Hopkins: 'It wasn't a great day with the bat. We were relatively happy with 170, but sad that our batting let us down. We have a chance to make the semis, so we've got to move on pretty quickly from this.'

A comprehensive win for the Titans and their 2nd win in a row. First loss for Auckland as well. The margin of defeat could've been far worse if not for the 45 run last wicket stand. The top order of the Auckland side failed today and that finished the game off. All the bowlers chipped in with Alfonso Thomas striking crucial blows. Do stay tuned for the presentation.

16.5Alfonso Thomas to Andre Adams

no run, has Andre Adams pulled a side muscle? Attempted a wild slog and missed, as soon as he played that yelped in pain and went to ground. The physio is out there, looks like Adams is ok for the moment. Continues on
