The Gladiators had opted to bat and were led by Tom Kohler-Cadmore for the second night in a row, as they followed up an unbeaten 68 against the New York Strikers with 42 against the Bulls at double pace. Andre Fletcher made 34 off 20 balls, while Andre Russell’s cameo of 19 off just five deliveries provided the finishing touches. But in the end all that would not be enough.
