Shahid Afridi 4-0-19-4

WA lose 7 for 27 to get bowled out for 167.

Great victory by the Redbacks. There 196 total was set up by Pollard, Cosgrove and Borgas.

Despite Chris Gayle's whirlwind start with the bat the Warriors couldn't finish it off.

Man of the Match Shahid Afridi for his magnificent performance with the ball. 4 for 19 from four overs after a first ball duck with the bat. That's why he's a star.

The Redbacks start their campaign brilliantly. The Warriors have some concerns, aside from the result, with Chris Gayle's side injury looking quite serious.

Join us again tomorrow for NSW and Tasmania from Bellerive. Join us then.
