Surrey won the first ever Twenty20 Cup match at Lord's by 37 runs. Adam Hollioake provided the killer touch with 65*, having been dropped twice on 1 and 11.

It was a dissapointing display in the field for Middlesex with only Paul Weekes causing problems for the Lions, taking 2-20. They reached their total of 183 with the loss of 5 wickets.

The Middlesex reply never got going, with less then 40 runs being scored from the first 7 overs. Lance Klusener, making his final apperance for the club did his best hitting a spectacular 53 of 32 balls including 5 fours and 1 six but the Crusaders fell 37 runs short.
