The St. John’s Superkings beat the Thunderbolts by 18 runs in Match 5 of the summer league. Their win was founded on a 99 run opening partnership between man of the match KK and Kathir. Some loose bowling contributed to over 50 extras.  Bharat secured three late wickets to restrict them to 139, but some fine bowling  kept the run rate well in control when the Thunderbolts batted. The highlight of their innings was a massive straight six from Bharat that only just failed to make it to Portugal Cove Road but when they scored only 44 from the first 10 overs it left just too much to do in the second half.
In the second match New Borns made 112 in 20 overs and St. John’s chased the target in 18 overs.
MOM: Sentill
