Chasing a target of 157, Margao Super Strikers registered their first win of the tournament with the loss of six wickets in 17 overs. Both the matches were played at the Margao MCC ground.
With this win, Canacona Warriors have kept alive their hopes of making it to the semi-finals from Group B. Sinq Rangers and Antruz Strikers are top two teams with six points each. Canacona Warriors have 4 points In their Kitty. Canacona's last group match is against CQS Scoring Willows on April 14. Knight Archers (2) also have one game to go but are out of contention for the semi-finals. Two teams from each of the two groups will qualify for the semi-finals. Madgaon Super Strikers and Mathgram Warriors were already out of the semi-final race in Group A. So this match didn't matter much in terms of the semi-finals.
