Sarfraz Ahmed was playing at Number 6, being given the role of a finisher. But instead, He opted to play slowly and was the reason Nottingham couldn't get past 350 when it looked like they would. He scored a clumsy 94-ball 64 with just 7 boundaries. On the other hand, Moeen Ali was unfortunate to remain unbeaten two short of his fifty.

Reece Topley, the only positive from Southampton Saints' bowling department went for 5.10 runs an over, picking only 2 wickets. But one of those wickets was of Kane Williamson, so all is forgiven.

Southampton Saints managed to chase 305 and eliminate one of the favourites to win. It was all because of an 85-run innings from the 35-year old Jonathan Trott. Batting at Number 3, and scoring a 143-run partnership with Aaron Finch.

Aaron Finch! The man who took a stunning catch to dismiss Joe Root when He was on 130. Aaron Finch played a magnificent opener's part, scoring 61 runs. As mentioned earlier, the highlight of the innings was the Finch-Trott partnership.

Angelo Mathews played a fine finisher's knock, unlike Sarfraz Ahmed. His 66 from 58 balls, accompanied with Shane Watson's 39 off 26 balls acted as the perfect match-finisher.

I'd really appreciate if I could get the line-ups in before I come back.

I'll just sim and post that match, and we'll quickly move onto the final.

Southampton Saints unchanged!

@Sami Kumar As I didn't get an alert.[DOUBLEPOST=1473012868][/DOUBLEPOST]If we're gonna try and get this complete presuming the Lords pitch won't suddenly change @Guesty98 / @The Punisher might as well post their lineup for the final as well to avoid the extra waiting time I assume?
 
I saw @Sami Kumar online atm. If He can post his line-up by the end of the day in Pakistan, I can sim and post the qualifier and ask for the line-ups of the final.

Then, I'll just come back and post the match whenever.
 
We should have batted well. Kohli's batting form concerns me.

Despite an amazing first over from Mark Wood, Cardiff Chihuahuas managed to recover from 4/2 courtesy of a Virat Kohli century! Seeing the failure of the openers did not derail Virat Kohli, He was being cautious and was slowed down but He did everything in his arsenal to take Cardiff to a respectable total in their 50.0 overs.

Ashar Zaidi was once again the trump card of the Southampton Saints, He took 3 wickets for 45 runs in his full quota. Those three wickets were important, because those three wickets were of Misbah-Ul-Haq, Jos Buttler and Mitchell Marsh.

Jonathan Trott! Take a bow! He backed his innings of 85 with a glorious century! He scored 103 runs from 95 balls. He was having an average season before the play-offs until begin, but since then, He has become the most valuable player for Southampton without a doubt.

Kevin O'Brien guided his team home comfortably. He is yet to be dismissed in this entire tournament, He has played 7 innings and has remained unbeaten in all 7 of them. If He is dismissed in the next match, then his average will be at least 178.

This is the end of the road for Cardiff Chihuahuas, they were the most dominant team in the league stages. They tried hard to win this match, Josh Hazlewood tried too hard to win. But it was not meant to be.

Very tempted to bring in Tymal Mills in place of Chris Jordan but given how little he's played for us I think it's a bit risky to bring him in as a wild card so we'll go unchanged into the final :D. Bring it on!

Aaron Finch is carrying his team on his back after the failures of the all of their best batsmen. Aaron Finch lost his captain, Alex Hales, in the third over of the match to Luke Wright. The number three Saint, and the centurion from the last game, Jonathan Trott was undone by a delivery from Yasir Shah that didn't spin much, but was just enough to go past Trott's defense. Kumar Sangakkara and Angelo Mathews, the Lankan-duo was also dismissed by the same bowler. They scored 23 and 12 runs, respectively.

Alex Hales will be disappointed by the way his team has performed in the most important match. Aaron Finch, will be too. He was batting so well, an unbelievable catch from Eoin Morgan ended his innings just 7 runs short of a final's century. He however, was able to go past Virat Kohli's record as the highest run-scorer of the tournament with 646 runs. Four more than what Virat Kohli scored this season.

Until this match, Yasir Shah was having an average season. He was even dropped on a couple of occasions. But this performance has made his season a lot more better, He picked wickets of 4 of the top-5 batsmen from Southampton Saints, including the highest run-scorer of the tournament, Aaron Finch. He finishes his season with 15 wickets to his name, at an average of less than 20.0.

Birmingham Blaze have calmed their nerves in this 268-run chase, their batting unit looks firm with Eoin Morgan at the crease, 78* not out. Brendan Taylor scored a run-a-ball 65 and laid the foundation for this chase despite his opening partner, Brendon McCullum being clean bowled off Chris Jordan on the eighth ball of the innings.

What an amazing tournament we've had! Through these thirty-six matches, we've seen some great talent, pure class and a team worthy of winning a Champions League title. Birmingham Blaze have done it with each of their player playing a significant role throughout the tournament, but David Willey deserves some extra praise for his sensational match-winning cameo. For which, He has been adjudged as the Player of the Match in the final.

Aaron Finch has had a terrific individual season, but He will really be disappointed by the end to his season. Coming so close and failing to score a final's hundred by just 7 runs. He however, has still been adjudged as the Player of the Tournament for his amazing season, and being the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 646 runs at an average of 64.60.
Code:
SOUTHAMPTON SAINTS   267       46.4 overs
BIRMINGHAM BLAZE     268/6     44.4 overs
   
Birmingham Blaze won by 4 wickets (with 32 balls remaining)

Man of the match: David Willey (BB)

Fantastic bowling from David Willey & Yasir Shah. Eoin Morgan & Steve Smith batted responsibly, while David Willey smashed the Southampton Saints all over the park.
Thanks @Na Maloom Afraad for a great league, my appearance was brief, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!
