After 2 weeks of fuzz and buzz the two finalists have been confirmed. The final will be played between Lions and Syndey Sixers.
This time it was not supposed to be for IPL teams. Delhi team looked good till the semifinals. But in the semi final they succumbed to Lions. To be honest Lions looked a good team to me but I never found them threatening to Delhi Daredevils. But I was wrong. Lions defeated Daredevils comprehensively. Lions scored a decent 139 in their allotted 20 overs. For a moment I thought this should be a easy chase. But Delhi made it too hard. Once Warner departed they never could come back into the match and ended up loosing the match. Kevin Pietersen was the only Delhite who looked in some touch. Only 3 batsmen could score in double figures which include Morne Morkel. You can now imagine that how sorry scorecard it would be to see.
In the other semi final Sydney Sixers defeated Titans in a thriller. That was one of the better matches of the tournament. It was a match which was seen twisting with each passing over. Till the last ball one would hold his breath to know the result. It was nothing but a paisa vasool(worthy for money spent). I would rate this match at the top of the this tournament. Well there still final is remaining. Even there is no IPL team in the finals but I am not hesitant to say that two best teams Sydney Sixers and Lions have made it to the final.
Below are some images from the two matches. Source Cricbuzz.
Morris - Excellent bowling. Warner's wicket was the turning point I believe.
KP the lone fighter. Wasn't enough on the day. It was definitely one of those days.
Sad moments for the team and Delhi fans.
Wiese played the innings of the day but wasnt enough. They deserved to win for that innings.
Still to be seen who emerges as the commander of the CLT20 trophy. It should be a good contest though. May the best team win.
