NPL record, Westside have just hit 420-5 off 45 overs.

Westside doing very well in this campaign. Everyone having a hit today. SRR above 100.

Knights all out for 29, and Takashinga pick Blessing and Ngarava for this game against the bottom side.

Taka NRR doubles. Overtaken Westside. One game to go. They’ve won the league

[Googly]

There's one game to go, but it sure does stink.

There's one game to go, but it sure does stink.

That NRR won’t be turned around now I don’t think. Both have equally weak opposition in the last game.

[Googly]

You have to try hard to be 29 all out. I was really hoping Westside would win the league, they've played brilliantly throughout and deserved to top the table. Prize money has been upped to 2 million.

[Googly]

Young Banks has just beaten Rimuka singlehandedly.
A fifer in his 5th over.
When this kid fills out he'll bowl for Zim.
The pitch is tricky, but he's just hitting his lengths.

Another one as I speak!!!
6-12 in 4.3 overs.
