39.4  Hastings to Voges, one run, The misfield by White allows yet another run
39.5  Hastings to Taylor, OUT, Lack of communicatin between Taylor and Voges leads to yet another wicket for

         Ross Taylor            23 (26b 2X4)
         run out (M Hussey)

39.6  Hastings to Christian, FOUR, That was a bad delivery by John Hastings, deserving this punishment

         End of over 40  (5 runs)

         Daniel Christian      4(1b 1X4)
         Adam Voges            4(9b)

Disaster struck the next over as Ross Taylor got into a terrible mix-up with Voges resulting in an early Christmas present for Michael Hussey and WCF. 97 needed off the final ten now..

40.1  Narine to Voges, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though
40.2  Narine to Voges, no run, Adam Voges was completely deceived

40.4  Narine to Christian, SIX, What a six!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
40.5  Narine to Christian, wide, Sunil Narine bowling a very wayward one

         Daniel Christian     24(9b 2X4 2X6)

A couple of big hits from Dan Christian sent shivers down the spine of WCF's supporters. Jadeja dropping him right after that was probably the last thing they needed. Still a very formidable 65 to get off the last seven..

43.1  Narine to Christian, one run, The misfield by Morkel allows yet another run

         Adam Voges           19(24b 1X4 1X6)

Adam Voges too broke the shackles as 13 were taken off the 44th over bowled by Narine. 52 off the final six..

44.1  Hastings to Voges, no run, Defensively played by Adam Voges
44.2  Hastings to Voges, no run, Adam Voges was completely deceived

         Daniel Christian     29(13b 3X4 2X6)

A near-perfect over from Hastings brought the equation back in WCF's favor. Queensland now need 51 off the last five at a staggering rate of 10.20..

45.1  M Marsh to Christian, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though
45.2  M Marsh to Christian, FOUR, Who needs Bradman when weve got Daniel Christian
45.3  M Marsh to Christian, no run, Daniel Christian was completely deceived
45.4  M Marsh to Christian, no run, Daniel Christian missed that one by a mile
45.5  M Marsh to Christian, FOUR, Who needs Bradman when weve got Daniel Christian
45.6  M Marsh to Christian, one run, That is very well run by Adam Voges

         Daniel Christian     38(19b 5X4 2X6)

Mitchell Marsh was brought back on to deliver the 46th. He conceded a respectable 9 to Dan Christian who was middling it quite well. 42 off the last four then..

46.1  Morkel to Christian, no run, Defensively played by Daniel Christian
46.2  Morkel to Christian, FOUR, Brillian cover drive by Daniel Christian
46.3  Morkel to Christian, no run, Daniel Christian missed that one by a mile
46.4  Morkel to Christian, one run, That was a very risky single.
46.5  Morkel to Voges, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman
46.6  Morkel to Voges, two runs, Took the first one quickly the second was no problem

         End of over 47  (7 runs)

         Daniel Christian     43(23b 6X4 2X6)

Morne Morkel cramped the batsmen for room and conceded only 7 off the 47th. Now it's much more daunting for Queensland with 35 needed off the last three..

47.1  Jadeja to Christian, three runs, Excellent running 3 more
47.2  Jadeja to Voges, no run, Left alone by Adam Voges
47.3  Jadeja to Voges, no run, Adam Voges missed that one by a mile

         Adam Voges           25(37b 2X4 1X6)
         Daniel Christian     46(24b 6X4 2X6)

Voges struggled against Jadeja's left-arm spin and could only collect 7, leaving Queensland to chase 28 off the final two

48.1  Morkel to Christian, one run, Great cooperation between Daniel Christian and Adam Voges     
48.2  Morkel to Voges, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though

         Adam Voges           29(42b 3X4 1X6)
         Daniel Christian     47(25b 6X4 2X6)

Morkel bowled another brilliant over with the struggling Voges being all at sea for most part. It's now come down to 23 off 1! But at least he managed to give Dan Christian the strike for the final over.

Peter Siddle, with figures of "8-0-26-1" will bowl the final over with the big hitting Dan Christian facing. But keep in mind this is his first over in the death as he's not bowled since the 33rd over. 23 needed off the last 6 balls I repeat.

49.1  Siddle to Christian, one run, Great cooperation between Daniel Christian and Adam Voges

Christian managed just a single off the first ball with Siddle banging in an unexpected slower bouncer. The struggling Voges was back on strike. 22 needed off 5 balls. Only boundaries or a miracle can get Queensland through now..

49.2  Siddle to Voges, SIX, Display of Raw power and brutality by Adam Voges

Six! Just what was needed for Queensland at this stage. It's now come down to 16 off 4..

49.3  Siddle to Voges, one run, That is very well run by Daniel Christian

Siddle bowled a near perfect yorker which was only just kept out by Voges. The single brought it down to a near impossible 15 off 3 balls. Even for Christian that is a Herculean task. West Coast will really fancy their chances of returning to the Champions League now..

49.4  Siddle to Christian, no ball, FOUR, Daniel Christian is one of the best batsmen in the world
      Thats another fifty for Daniel Christian

UNBELIEVABLE! A no ball and a boundary! Very poor stuff from the experienced Siddle. That gives Queensland 5 extra runs at the cost of no deliveries. That's also fifty for Christian off just 26 balls. Now it's a much more achievable 10 off 3..

49.4  Siddle to Christian, FOUR, Daniel Christian is one of the best batsmen in the world

The next ball was also hammered all the way to the fence. Top stuff from Christian. Just 6 off 2 now..

49.5  Siddle to Christian, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman

A ball that clearly looked like a wide wasn't given a wide by the umpire. It was far beyond Christian's reach as he fell over trying to hit it. 6 needed off the last ball now!

Peter Siddle runs in to deliver the final ball of the innings..

Christian aims for the maximum but doesn't connect quite as well as he'd have hoped, and....

Spoiler: 6 needed off the last ball!

All over! Christian brought it an unbelievable end as the ball only just managed to clear the boundary. He showed no hint of emotion after the feat although Voges and his teammates went bananas around him.

         End of over 50  (23 runs)
         QUEENSLAND FIREBIRDS300/5

That will be the match!
One of the most thrilling games ever. The Queensland Firebirds batsmen just managing to overtake the total

They made it with just 0 balls to spare

We hope you will be joining us in the coming matches

That's it, folks. We finally have a winner this time. This post will be updated with post-match and tournament stuff after I get a proper response from the managers concerned.

This is the most exciting final I've ever seen on the forums!

Another great and smoothly ran yet a lot entertaining season. Sad that Melbourne finished at the last place but I hope that we bounce back with a real not-giving up spirit and conquer the next season.

I was sooooo right. One heck of a match that, just couldn't have got any more exciting. And the way you presented it is even more commendable. I'm already over the result of the match. Thanks for another great league, VC.
