West Coast Fever put up a formidable 299, which means Queensland will have to climb that 300-run mountain in order to win. They'll have to create history because WCF have never lost a final in this league, ever.

Ross+Taylor+New+Zealand+v+West+Indies+Game+6GSmgTzohi3l.jpg


With the boundaries coming few and far in between, Hussey and Taylor had to do some very intense running between the wickets. Still, the required run rate was already touching 8.5/over.

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..

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..

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+Strikers+v+Renegades+YWIIfZrjjiul.jpg


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..

HTML:
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..

49.5  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!

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.

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.
