How so?

There were a number of incidents. The main one being in the super over, where Kaleem Sana bowled a chest high beamer and it wasn't called a no ball. A couple marginal beamers were called earlier in the match but the biggest of the lot was somehow missed by both umpires. The batting team (Vancouver) were furious and disputed it for a few minutes, but the decision wasn't changed. Either the umpires didn't know the rules or they were paid off.

A few other questionable incidents:
Saaf Bin Zafar (27 off 26) was happy to keep knocking the ball for singles, even as the required rate went from 10 up to 18 and Russell was still waiting to come in.
Malik was given run out as the batsmen tried to steal a bye, umpires missed that Saaf had first edged the ball to the keeper. Fielding team didn't appeal for that as they understandably wanted to keep Saaf in.
Russell finally comes in, with 51 needed off 15 balls. Bowlers start bowling pies, wides, no balls and Russell somehow gets the equation down to 3 off 3...
Russell had previously blitzed it to all parts but then turns into Chris Martin with a run a ball needed. Two balls he can't get off the square and then manages to scamper two off the last ball to secure the super over.

An exciting game but I would be shocked if that was legit.

Found myself watching a Canadian cricket tournament last night that appears to be the Corona version of this tournament.

5 teams and all Canadian.

Last night I witnessed the Surrey Shines beat the Victoria Waves with the very well named Anmol striking 51* off 40 balls to guide the Shines to the target of 138 with a ball to spare.

Was quite enjoyable.

For the third match in a row, the team whose player scored the most runs finished the game as losers.

This time it was Roston Chase's 52 that gave St Lucia false hope against Jamaica. Chase scored 32.91% of St Lucia's 158 with the next highest batsmen scoring 25 (15.82%.) In comparison Jamiaca's top run scorer got 29.38% of the run chase but was supported by another contributor chipping in 27.5%.

Basically I'm saying two contributors contributing a combined 56.88% of runs is better than 48.73%. Revolutionary stuff.
