The inform Gopal continued his rich vein of form by hitting 30 which included three sixes before falling lbw. Rian moved on steadily against his former team and when skipper Sonu fell cheaply in pursuit of a quick finish, Rian gave the captain his wish when he scored the remaining 12 off the tenth over to give Oceans maximum batting points. Both Rian 20 not out and Ratty 3 not out were unbeaten in the end as Oceans finished on 104/4 off ten overs.
