Key Moments
08:02 AM
With this victory, the defending champions climb to the top of the tree. Chasing a tricky target, they were under the pump courtesy some tight bowling by Strikers. Reduced to 43/4, it was upto Cartwright and Agar to helm the sinking ship and both took centrestage, rising to the occasion. The first mission was to see off the dangerous Rashid Khan and once that was done, there was no stopping them. An unbeaten 71-run stand between the duo trumped the Strikers.
