It's the last day of the Super Eights, and Ian Chappell has consolidated his position at No. 1 - he now leads Sambit Bal by 163 points.
Both Ian and Sambit had Kamran Akmal as trump for the Ireland-Pakistan game, and he did not disappoint, yielding 318 with his Man-of-the-Match performance. Ian also had Umar Gul and Younis Khan, who fetched him a total of 135. However, it was Sambit who had a better game - Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq fetched him 171.
But the West Indies-England game allowed Ian to extend his lead. Ravi Bopara, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo and Suleiman Benn gave Ian a total of 195. Sambit had both Benn and Bravo, and he had Owais Shah as well, who disappointed with 20, which meant that Sambit managed just 125 from the game.
Sanjay Manjrekar is at No. 3 with 3791 and David Lloyd is at No. 4 with 2645.
