CAPTAIN OF PIONEERS, AUSTIN AREGHAN STARTED HIS CHASE POSSITIVELY BY SETTING UP A GOOD START LEADING HIS TEAM TO 34 FOR NO LOSS AFTER 5 OVERS, BUT HIS DEPARTURE AFTER 26 RUNS LEFT THE TEAM EMPTY AS ONLY SALAKO AZEEZ MANAGE TO ADD DOUBLE FIGURES OF 21 RUNS. IT WAS BRILLIANT BOWLING FROM SKIPPER SEUN ODEKU AND SEYI ANIMASHAUN WHO BOTH SHARE 6 WICKETS TAKEING 3 EACH.
