Very anticlimatic end as a wide ball gives Gujarat Giants the victory. What a spell by Tambe. GUJG beat INDCAP by 3 wickets.
Still one run left and that's another wicket!!! What is happening!!! Emrit is gone and Tambe is on a hattrick now!!! GUJG 179/7 after 18.4 overs
Just 1 needed now from 2 overs. It's all academic from here. Tambe to bowl the 19th and two dots. The next ball, Chigumbura is bowled!!! Is there a twist? GUJG 179/6 after 18.3 overs
No ball by Plunkett and it's a free hit now. 2 runs off the free hit, a single after that and the scores are tied. Perera is gone. Tried to finish but paddles it to square leg. GUJG 179/5 after 18 overs.
Plunkett in to bowl what will probably be ther last over of the match. And a four. Just 5 runs more. And O Brien is gone. Tries to finish it off, hits a wayward shot and Tambe takes him. GUJG 175/4 after 17.3 overs
100 up for Kevin O Brien and that comes with a six!!!! What an innings. And Tambe gets a wicket as he cleans up Yashpal Singh. GUJG 170/3 after 16.4 overs
On to the 16th now and the Giants are very close to the victory. Nicked, O Brien should have gone. Ramdin drops it, unfortunately. The next ball is pulled for a six!! GUJG 161/2 after 16 overs
The 14th over is an expensive one as well, buoyed by two boundaries, courtesy of Kevin O Brien. We may be on course to seeing the 2nd hundred of the match. GUJG 139/2 after 14 overs

BOWLED!!! Parthiv comes down the line and he's bowled. And just when he was looking dangerous. Nurse doing it with te ball after impressing with the bat. GUJG 110/2 after 10.1 overs
Pankaj Singh in to bowl the 10th and that shot by Patel has gone miles!!! What a monstrous six!! And a four to follow. The over ends with another four by O Brien. GUJG 110/1 after 10 overs
Nurse to bowl the 9th over and Patel gets a nick but keeper could not get a hold of that. The next ball is hit for a 6!!! Proverbial salt in wound. GUJG 92/1 after 9 overs
That's the half century for O Brien after just 26 balls. Brings it up with a 6 and a four!!! What a start to the tournament he is having. And that's another four. The Irishman is just bullying the bowler. GUJG 75/1 after 7 overs
After an expensive 5th over which had 3 fours, we are in for the last over inside powerplay. Last night's hero Pankaj Singh in the attack. 2 runs from the first 3 balls. GUJG 58/1 after 6 overs
Gone!!! Sehwag's rotten luck continues this tournament as he frees his arm and tries to hit a Jognson delivery. Suyal with the catch. GUJG 40/1 after 4 overs
Plunkett in for the 3rd over. Starts with a dot. Good shot but finds the fielder. Next ball goes for the boundary. Good effort by the fielder but the outfield is pretty fast even after the rain. Another four follows and O Brien is back to yesterday night's form. Picked up again and te over ends with four more!!! GUJG 32/0 after 3 overs
Johnson in to bowl the second over. A single to start te over and a wide to follow. 1 run leg bye now as Johnson appeals. 5 from this one GUJG 20/0 after 2 overs
Run chase resumes with Virender Sehwag and Kevin O'Brien start for Gujarat Giants. Suyal to start the attack. Not the start he would have wanted as starts with a wide and then gives away 5wides. Another wide now. Turning out to be a long over, this one. And another wide. Long long over. What happened here? Johnson takes O Brien's catch. Sees that he might be touching the ropes. flicks the ball away but did not get the catch back again. GUJG 15/0 after 1 over
Last over now and can Nurse get his century? He gets 5 balls to do it. And that's a six!!!! It's very close!! Absolute power hitting masterclass. Six more and that's his 100!!! What an innings by him. No ball now. 1 off it. A dot ball to finish. INDCAP 179/7 after 20 overs
Emrit in to bowl the 19th and that's a six by Nurse. The next ball flies off the edge for another six!!! He can get his 100 here. INDCAP 163/7 after 19 overs
Mitchell McClenaghan in to bowl the 18th and Nurse pulls his first ball for a four!! The second ball meets the same fate. INDCAP 148/7 after 18 overs
