Batting first, Toronto Nationals' opener Rodrigo Thomas looked really good from the beginning as he smashed 65 off just 46 deliveries. Skipper Yuvraj Singh who looked rusty in the first match had come back nicely in the second game and continued from where he had left in this one, with a 26-ball 45.
Dwayne Bravo was the the leading bowler for Winnipeg Hawks and picked up a four-wicket haul.

Winnipeg Hawks' top three in Chris Lynn, Shaiman Anwar and Sunny Sohal were all among runs as the team was well-placed to win comfortably. However, a cluster of wickets derailed their run.
Ultimately, the Hawks won on the last ball of the match with a single, but not before losing two wickets in the final over. Salman Nazar and Chris Green were the pick of the bowlers for Toronto Nationals.
