The Demons need 204 runs in 20 overs to win
 
The Demons seem to be scared of us now, after our great batting in the Shield Final. I think that we're going through!

Misbah was great, although that 7 ball 27 from my pal @Mars_Mk1 put us into the position that we're in
 
It's not that I'm taking credit away from the Dragons, but we should be able to chase that total in 10 overs.
