Shane Watson departs! The plan worked for Shaheen Afridi. Making the ball go away, only to bring it back in on the last delivery has earned him a big wicket.
Rajasthan Royals are off to a great start with the early dismissal of Shane Watson. Sydney Roosters seem to be on the back foot as a result of Watson's dismissal.

Steve Smith's flurry has put Sydney Roosters on top, with him scoring a quickfire 41 from just 25 deliveries to take his team's total to 71 for 1 at the end of 10.0.
Although Tim Paine looks quite rigid at the other end. After having faced 27 balls, he's only hit one four. Royals will be looking at an opening by dismissing him.

Fifty for Steve Smith! Sydney's starry batting line was always going to be under the spotlight in the big finale, and their most consistent performer has delivered.
Steve Smith already has two hundreds to his name in four games, four in six if you consider the preseason games. Can he score one more, in the final of CLX8?

Breakthrough! Washington Sundar has provided Rajasthan Royals a much-needed breather and dismissed Steve Smith before he could cause irreparable damage.
Despite the untimely dismissal, Sydney Roosters will be targeting a big score with the firepower still left to come out. Rajasthan Royals has to assert dominance.

This has been a forgetful but somehow necessary innings from Tim Paine. 60 deliveries faced and only 28 runs scored on a batting track at the National Stadium.
MS Dhoni and his men have contained Tim Paine to the absolute detriment of the opposition, which is far more impressive if they had just dismissed him cheaply.

38 runs scored in the last 10.0 overs by Sydney Roosters. Rajasthan Royals have absolutely cornered Sydney Roosters in the middle overs with their two spinners.
Washington Sundar has been the more economical of the two, with Steve Smith's wicket already to his name. This has been a rather Paine-staking innings.

Ravindra Jadeja breaks through! Tim Paine is out, stumped by the lightning quick MS Dhoni. His 91-ball 40 might not have been pleasing to see, but it was vital.
With Virat Kohli already well-set, and Joe Root & Ben Stokes to come out next, Sydney Roosters have got to be eying a massive total with the start they have.

Major wicket! Virat Kohli goes! Sydney Roosters seem to be losing their way as the pressure built up in the middle overs is finally paying off for Rajasthan Royals.

Expensive 16-run over brings up Ben Stokes' fifty! An excellent late cameo is pushing his team to a very good total. How much more can he gather in 4.0 overs?

A good final over from Navdeep Saini, only 5 runs coming from it. He conceded 16 runs in an over from Ben Stokes but made an unbelievable comeback after that.
Dismissing Ben Stokes in a wicket-maiden to follow up, then delivering the final over of the innings where he bowled four back-to-back dot balls to Joe Root.
However, Nitish Rana's spell, and his last two overs in particular caused a lot of damage to Rajasthan Royals. His 3.0 overs went for 41, and his last 2.0 for 30.
Joe Root and Ben Stokes squeezed 73 runs from the last 7.0 overs with both batsmen reaching their fifties. Joe Root remained unbeaten on 63 off 60 deliveries.

Sydney Roosters have piled-up 307 in the final of Champions League X8. Steve Smith, Virat Kohli, Joe Root and Ben Stokes all scored fifties for Sydney Roosters.
The star-studded middle-order lived up to its hype even if none of them could go big, they all contributed with excellent and very different innings to amass 307.
Steve Smith's quickfire fifty after Shane Watson's early dismissal settled the ship for Sydney Roosters with Tim Paine taking the other end hostage by force.
Virat Kohli's fifty after Steve Smith's dismissal kept the scoreboard ticking as Rajasthan Royals managed to squeeze Sydney Roosters in the middle overs completely.
Ben Stokes and Joe Root's 104-run stand provided Sydney Roosters with an excellent comeback in the last few overs to give their team a late bloom to pass 300.
Even on a batsman's wicket, a 308-run target is going to be a tough score for any team to chase down if for nothing but the pressure of the Champions League final.
Navdeep Saini has to be the pick of the bowlers for his superb death-bowling. The only mistake MS Dhoni made was to not include a proper sixth bowler in the XI.
The lack of which cost them 41 runs in 3.0 overs, even if he had gone run-an-over, they would've ended with a score of 285 - a perfectly on-par, achievable target.

Early inroads for Sydney Roosters! Kane Richardson dismisses Martin Guptil to put Rajasthan Royals in an early predicament. Can the Roosters capitalize on this?

A brilliant, defiant innings from David Warner. He reaches a well-earned fifty. His knock has been the only thing ticking Rajasthan's score at a necessary speed.
Ankit Bawne has looked good so far, but he needs to go big here. Somebody in the middle needs to go big here if Rajasthan Royals are to chase this down.

Excellent display of death-bowling is prohibiting Ravindra Jadeja from making a comeback for the Royals. The equation has creeped up to 108 from 42 balls.
Nathan Coulter-Nile finishes his spell with the wicket of David Warner to his name. A game-changing moment that swayed the momentum in his team's favour.

The two Englishmen celebrate as Ben Stokes removes Washington Sundar. Another major setback for Rajasthan Royals, making a bad situation even worse.
This wicket has completely exposed Rajasthan Royals' tail. Sydney Roosters can wrap things up pretty quick. For Rajasthan Royals, it's getting tougher.

104 runs required from 30 deliveries. Only a miraculous turn of events can save Rajasthan Royals from an inevitable defeat. The required run-rate is now 20.0+.

An underwhelming end to an otherwise fantastic Champions League season. Sydney Roosters emerge triumphant after defeating the unbeaten Rajasthan Royals.
Rajasthan Royals fell short of the target by a whopping margin of 75 runs, courtesy of an excellent bowling display that choked the life out of the Royals.
Sydney Roosters are elated with the victory, to say the least. To have avenged the loss of CLXVI's final against Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel has got to feel good.
An impressive 13-game winning streak spanning two years and across two leagues comes to an end for Rajasthan Royals. They have nothing to be ashamed of.

Victory for Steve Smith and Sydney Roosters! After losing their first game to Rajasthan Royals, they were able to make an unbelievable comeback to lift the trophy!
In a big game, all of their key players delivered. Even Paine's presumed gruesome knock turned out to be crucial with the context of the entire game behind it.
Rajasthan Royals were 'the' team to beat this season. They played exceptional cricket throughout the tournament, unfortunately falling just at the last hurdle.
Ben Stokes richly earned the Man of the Match award in the final for his quickfire 56 from 39 balls towards the end of the innings and his two important dismissals.
Leading from the front and with the bat - Steve Smith is the 'Golden Bat' recipient for scoring 322 runs in 5 innings at an average of 64.40 for Sydney Roosters.
He is also declared the Player of the Tournament for his batting brilliance, and for being the winning captain and a vital part of the triumphant Sydney Roosters.
Shaheen Afridi is both, the leading and the second-highest wicket-taker of the tournament from two different camps - Quetta Gladiators and Rajasthan Royals.
He earns the 'Golden Ball' for 12 scalps in both uniforms. And with that award ceremony, Champions League X8 comes to its conclusion. See ya'll very soon!
