The only hope Wellington have is Dhoni now. ;)
 
Calculations

The match has been restricted to 39.0 overs
The batting powerplay is shortened to 3.0 overs
Four bowlers can bowl a maximum of 8.0 overs
One bowler can bowl a maximum of 7.0 overs

Wellington Firebirds' Target is 169 in 39.0 Overs (@2.50 RR)

(D/L Method adjusted)
 
Yeah fearsome tweak Us!!

Match Stopped due to Rain
WalkingBack_zpsb127a4da.png

There we can see the players coming out and the play has resumed after rain, and there's the main equation
Code:
29.1  Steyn to Dhoni, one run, Great cooperation between MS Dhoni and Mitchell McClenaghan
29.2  Steyn to McCle'ghan, two runs, Overthrow by Latham instead of 1 they get 2
29.3  Steyn to McCle'ghan, OUT, That ball caught the edge and struck the stumps. McCle'ghan cant belive it

         Mitchell McClenaghan   6 (12b)
         b. Steyn
DaleSteyn4_zps50f6dd65.png

Dale Steyn strikes! MS Dhoni, now has a major and critical roll to play...
Code:
29.4  Steyn to Morkel, two runs, Great running between the wickets 2 more
29.5  Steyn to Morkel, one run, That was a very risky single.
29.6  Steyn to Dhoni, one run, Dropped! Stirling made a big mess of that simple chance

MSDhoni4_zpsfb4973c8.png

A blind hit from MS Dhoni, nearly went out of the park! I'm sad to tell You that my fellow commentator has left the commentary box.
Code:
30.4  Afridi to Dhoni, no run, MS Dhoni missed that one by a mile
30.5  Afridi to Dhoni, no run, Left alone by MS Dhoni
30.6  Afridi to Dhoni, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from Tom Latham

         Morne Morkel           6 (11b)
         b. Wagner
MorneMorkel_zps3f8b85ba.png

A really immature display of cricket from Morne Morkel, there was no need of a shot like that, and it's his team, not him, who has to pay for it.

That's it! if You can't get Dhoni out then You need to get the tailender out, that's the strategy applied by the Wizards, and it worked. They lift the trophy!
