Lendl Simmons started well for Brampton Wolves with almost a run-a-ball 30 but wickets kept falling around him. Babar Hayat finally scored another 30 and Wahab Riaz and Ish Sodhi made some valuable runs for the Brampton Wolves towards the end.
Still all that the Wolves could manage was 138, credit to some destructive bowling from Australian left-arm quick Daniel Sams who bowled a lot of slower ones and mixed up his deliveries. Hayden Walsh and Michael Rippon also picked up three and two wickets respectively.
In reply, after skipper Chris Gayle was dismissed cheaply, each of Tobias Visee, Chadwick Walton and Shoaib Malik made substantial contributions. Walton remained unbeaten with a half-century.
Awesome Twosome!
