\nthe tournament for the first time.<\/p>\n
The other five teams were all from Jakarta and made up of
\nplayers from the JCA.<\/p>\n
The competition was staged in two parts. On the Saturday the
\nteams were split into two groups, playing each team once within
\nthe group to determine the final seedings for the knock-out
\nstages that were played on the Sunday.<\/p>\n
The winners of the knockout stage played a semifinal for the
\nSixes Cup and the losers played for the Sixes Plate.<\/p>\n

\nRebels CC of Jakarta, captained by Marten Eddy.<\/p>\n
One of the best games of the tournament was the emotionally
\ncharged semi-final where Senayan CC played India XI, which
\nproduced the turning point of the tournament, Sachin Gopalan
\ntaking two wickets in the fourth over of the India innings to
\ndramatically change the course of the match.<\/p>\n
Penang CC beat Perkasa CC in a high scoring semi-final.
\nSenayan CC easily won the final, posting 65 off their allotted
\nfive overs. Penang CC never really came close requiring 35 runs

\nthe Best Batsman award was Sandeep Puri of Bojangles CC Singapore
\nwho scored 166 runs in six games, never losing his wicket.<\/p>\n
