Bisram removed the openers cheaply inside the first five overs while Chooweenam removed Himanshu in the 10th over when King’smen had scored only 74. The fourth wicket showed resistance but an unfruitful one as they could match the demanding run rate and once it was removed the rest fell like a pack of cards. King’smen could only manage 180 in reply to 313 and RHL won by massive 133 runs. Batson bagged 3 for 30, Bisram 2-41 while a piece each for Chooweenam and Sultan.
