4:06 pm Another abject batting display from the Royals after choosing to bat first. Four starts as Charles, Hope, Reifer and Azam all crossed 20 without reaching 30. Tahir with the triple-strike in the Powerplay but nothing after. Not that it mattered much as Royals struggled to build a fightback against the rest of the attack. Amazon Warriors the clear favorites to chase this down. Stay with us for the start of the chase in 10-15 minutes.
