Scorer: S Balasubramanian | Commentator: Rohan Sharma
So that is it from the first game, the next match will begin in just under 30 minutes, so tune in to the live commentary for that one. For now, this is Rohan Sharma saying good night, and good luck.
Marchant de Lange, Man of the Match: Very enjoyable. A bit like back home so felt comfortable. A little bit of nerves there, but yeah the main key was to stay calm and do the basics right.
Henry Davids, Titans captain: A bit close there. The wickets cost us a lot of momentum (in the first innings). They guys kept putting the ball in the good areas and we ended up on top today.
Hang in there for the post-match presentation, with quotes from the captains.
What did I tell you? I told you we were in for a cracker, and Brisbane and Titans did not fail to deliver. Initially, it looked like the Titans would lose, especially with the sub-par total they eventually fronted up. However, Davids was judicious with his bowling changes, and kept Brisbane guessing till the very end. Narrow victory for the Titans, as they hold on by just four runs. De Lange was the star of the show for them with the ball, as he bowled with pace and hostility in his earlier spell, before bowling a terrific final over to see his team through. Brisbane are in some trouble now, with two losses out of two.
AC McDermott b de Lange 2 (2m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
5 needed off the final ball. Are we in for a Miandad finish? Or is a Super-Over in the prospects?
MG Gale run out 1 (8m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
And with that, it is time for Nathan Hauritz at No. 10
CJM Sabburg run out 19 (10m 7b 2x4 1x6) SR: 271.42
So 10 needed off the final over, and it is that man, De Lange, who will attempt to break Brisbane's heart
