Britt playing blue and black balls made the 1st attack to set the break for black. He broke down after making the 4th wicket and was unable to hit a ball to continue the break. Matt hit in with yellow and set the break for red. Matt broke down during the break and in turn had alot of deadness on both balls red and yellow. Britt was content on making a wicket and hitting my balls out of position to maintain control and to burn clock. Towards the end with less then 5 mins to go Britt up by 3 wickets rushed yellow out of bounds by mistake near blue.

Matts yellow ball hit blue and got a rush on black to number 6. Scored the hoop and turned it over to red who was also heading to 6 . With red in last turn and down by 2 wickets scored 6 and trying for a hard rush to 2 back missed black about ten feet away.

Britt with a one wicket lead partnered up on the side line. Matt's yellow ball had a slight angle shot about 6 feet away on 1 back. Matt missed the shot and Britt won the game.
