10.49 pm The last Reifer over was the turning point. At 105 for 6 with 56 needed off four overs, the match looked gone. But Reifer sprays the ball everywhere but where it needed to be in a 21-run, 11-ball over in the 17th. Cottrell does his Houdini to save the Patriots perfect record.

Cottrell is Player of the Match: "I didn't feel any pressure. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I just wanted to go out there and enjoy myself."

Well, what a way to maintain a perfect record. Something in the water at Warner Park. Tomorrow is a day off at the CPL, a deserved opportunity to catch your breath after that heartstopping finish. Come back on Saturday for more CPL action. For Alex Malcolm, I'm Peter Della Penna. See you next time!
