Chaiba Senayan Lions bucked the trend and chose to bat first against K2 Kings after winning the toss. They lost Aman Singh in the second over, but Viraj Bhammar steadied the ship somewhat until Sabu Joy’s double-strike rattled the Lions. Zahid Hameed & Kartik Kapoor then joined the wickets-party as an unsure Chaiba batting unit meandered to a low total of just 87 runs in 20 overs.
The K2 Kings skipper Harish Tiwari fell early in the chase, but mature knocks from the young Julang Dzulfikar & the experienced Baba Sivasankaran ensured that the K2 Kings reached the target with 7 wickets and 6 overs in hand, giving them their first win of the tournament.
