Champs have again managed to throw away the match after an inspired half century from RP Patil. After that, they managed to lose 7 wickets in the last five overs.
Astle, the captain blames it on the batsmen, who commited hara kiri in the end.
McMillan is visibly relieved at winning the match and gives credit to his bowlers for they way they performed at death.
Andre Adams has been awarded Man of the match for his all round performance of 21 runs and 3 wickets. He is too modest enough in accepting things went his way.
