Cottrell has done it!! Patriots maintain their unbeaten record in dramatic fashion! Full ball floated on fourth stump, Cottrell reaches out and slaughters this flat over Holder watching despairingly at long-off as it screams over his head into the seats. The Patriots bench empties onto the field to go bonkers with Cottrell.

10.49 pm The last Reifer over was the turning point. At 105 for 6 with 56 needed off four overs, the match looked gone. But Reifer sprays the ball everywhere but where it needed to be in a 21-run, 11-ball over in the 17th. Cottrell does his Houdini to save the Patriots perfect record.
Cottrell is Player of the Match: "I didn't feel any pressure. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I just wanted to go out there and enjoy myself."
Well, what a way to maintain a perfect record. Something in the water at Warner Park. Tomorrow is a day off at the CPL, a deserved opportunity to catch your breath after that heartstopping finish. Come back on Saturday for more CPL action. For Alex Malcolm, I'm Peter Della Penna. See you next time!
