Match Report
5.25pm: A 20-ball fifty from Buttler ices the MSG cake/chase. And that's a fitting way to go top of the tree on the all-time T20 run-scorers' list. Victory, as well as a NRR jump, pushes MSG back into the play-off spots - although they have played a game more. Still, a statement win, and without their regular captain, Aiden Markram, who has returned home for personal reasons
Tim Seifert is the Match Hero: "Trademark of our innings has been losing wickets, so we tried to get off to a good start and maintain a good run rate. Buttler coming in and doing what he does is nice to watch. [Opening stand] Having left-right put the bowlers off, and credit to him [Walter], first game of the tournament, the way he came out, showed we have a good squad. It's a hard tempo to decide how you go about it. You can get caught down the other end and not getting strike. Nice today we both got going. [Play-offs?] We've got two big games, so hopefully we can keep momentum. We go down there [to Southern Brave] and have to adapt, but this is a good little booster for us."
No rest in this format, with an evening game at Trent Bridge coming up. Enjoy!
