Ravinda Jadeja 5/106 in 21 overs E/R: 5.05
Despite the Arabians skipper Dravid's 79 of 83 balls and Bairstow's 49 of 73 balls the Arabians still fell 27 runs short of their target. Jadeja bowled brilliantly for his fiver.​

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with the Legends claiming an impressive victory by 27 runs. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. Congratulations to the Legends! They are moving into the final. Can they continue their good run?

The Super Kings recovered nicely after loosing Warner early on. Solid partnerships by Williamson and Hayat @CerealKiller and fifties by De Villiers & Waugh took the Super Kings past 300 runs again.
Al Hasan bowled beautifully for his 4/66.

Viv Richards lbw b. Khan 61 67b 13x4's 0x6's S/R: 91.0%
Richards tried valiantly chasing down the target of 385 runs, he managed a century partnerships with Bonbentham @zwarrior but eventually lost his wicket to Khan LBW.
Sandakan again shinned with ball in hand to help secure the Super Kings place in the final.​

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with the Super Kings claiming an impressive victory by 140 runs. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. Congratulations to the Super Kings! They will meet the Legends in the Final.

Match Figures - Ravinda Jadeja 44.1 overs 13 maidens 116 runs 11 wickets E/R: 2.63
What a match winning performance by Jadeja finishing with his tenther. The Super Kings batsman failed under pressure with only Warner & De Villiers contributing towards the scoreboard.
An easy victory at the end to the Legends who finished this series unbeaten!!!​

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with the Legends claiming an impressive victory by 75 runs. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. Congratulations to the Legends! They are our Ultimate Cricket First Class Champions!!!
