Grand final

Waikato Warriors vs Hawke's Bay Magpies @ Seddon Park, Hamilton
 
Woo we're one step away from glory now. Bowlers seemed to have toally cocked up our chances, but what a legendary knock that was from Ponting! He and Trott single handedly carried the game away from AA to book our place in the final.

Unchanged for the Grand Finale.

Hawke's Bay Magpies - W L W W W

Watch out for...

Kane Williamson - The young batting all-rounder out of Tauranga played the match of his life in the Warriors major semi-final victory against the Magpies. The big question is will he be able to back-it-up on the biggest stage of them all?

Lasith Malinga - Few would have thought that this is the same player who took four wickets at an average of 85 last season, with an economy rate of five runs an over. Malinga leads a strong bowling attack for the Warriors, and his pace and skill will be a challenge for the Magpies batsmen to handle.

Ricky Ponting - Coming off an incredible 145 in the Magpies preliminary final victory against the Aces, Ponting will be looking to add another chapter to his impeccable career. As stand-in captain Ponting has only lost one match this season, and he will not be looking to make that two.

Chris Harris - The old head in his final NZPL season has been something to behold, with his nippy medium pacers being simply unplayable at times. He will also have a crucial role to play with the bat for the Magpies, coming in behind a relatively weak middle order.

The big question

Who will become just the third team to lift the NZPL trophy twice, Waikato or Hawke's Bay?​

Well, nice preview there Callum.

Really confused to decide who's the best only with the help of stats. Both the teams are looking really strong.

Let the game decide the champion. ;) All the best guys :)

247 is quite a competitive total in a normal pitch. Awesome bowling by Harris and Mathews. Come on Magpies. Trott to play a blinder. :)
 
Looking at Magpies batting order, it seems that they'll chase that. Good bowling effort by Mathews, Harris & Kulasekara.
