New Jersey Triton's 117 for 4 (Yusuf 35, Ojha 25) beat California Knights 116 for 3 (Finch 75*, Milind 27) by six wickets

California were also helped by Milind Kumar's 27 off 14 before he was run out. In reply, Ojha, opening with Jesse Ryder, gave New Jersey a powerful start by smashing two fours and two sixes in his 11-ball 25. Once they lost three wickets in as many overs, Yusuf latched into the bowlers, hitting 35 off just 11, before Chris Barnwell and Peter Trego finished things off.

Batting first, Atlanta saw fiery starts from Robin Uthappa (24 off nine) and Lendl Simmons (21 off 11), but Sohail's 3 for 21 restricted them to 97 for 4.
