The fifth match between New York Warriors and Atlanta Riders saw yet another natural intrusion as heavy rains resulted in the postponement of the match.

The subsequent two matches scheduled on August 20 between Morrisville Unity and Atlanta Riders, and between California Knights and Texas Chargers respectively stood abandoned due to rain. The ninth match between New York Warriors (NYW) and New Jersey Tritons (NJT) ended with the Legends winning by 9 wickets. The match was reduced to 5 overs due to rain. The NYW scored 84/2 (5), while the NJT scored 90/1 (4.4).
