10:51 pm Patriots remain undefeated with four wins from four. Rutherford is the batting star with his third fifty in four games. Allen dominates the last wicket partnership striking 30 of the 55-run unbeaten stand as they get across the line with 14 balls to spare.
Here's Sherfane Rutherford: "Coming into this tournament, I tell myself I have a responsibility and batting up the order was something that I always wanted."
Well that's it for us from tonight's coverage. For Andrew McGlashan, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!
