The win was arrange by the bowlers, although. Gladiators had an honest opening stand of 28 with Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Nicholas Pooran, the No. 1 and No. 3 on the tournament run-scorers' list, however Narine broke by within the third over with Kohler-Cadmore's wicket for a seven-ball 13. Pooran fell to George Scrimshaw two balls later, and Gladiators had been abruptly 28 for two, which turned 36 for 3, 41 for 4, and 57 for five after 7.1 overs, with Narine returning 2 for six from his two overs with out conceding a single boundary.
