Match Details
11:41 AM IST & 07:11 PM Local Time | That is that! What a dominant win from Canterbury as they
register a seven-wicket win with 41 balls to spare. They are through to the
Grand Final on Sunday to face Central Stags.
The win was obviously set up by the seam bowlers in the Powerplay
who reduced the Northern Brave to 7/5 after 5.3 overs. Matt Henry, in particular,
ended up with remarkable figures of 4-3-2-2 as he finished his spell in the 7th
over itself. Jeet Raval came up with a recovery job as he made 45 with the trio
of Brett Hampton, Neil Wagner and Fred Walker chipping in with useful runs.
Canterbury still did enough to restrict the Brave to just 110/9 off 20 overs
with Kyle Jamieson and Henry Shipley also taking three wickets apiece.
In reply, Kristian Clarke dismissed Mitchell Hay for a duck to give the Brave much-needed hope. However, the pair of Chad Bowes and Matt Boyle removed any nervousness with a 69-run partnership. Boyle looked good for a fifty but he fell just two runs short as Fergus Lellman had him caught behind in the 8th over. Daryl Mitchell came in at No.4 and looked to be positive as he found the boundary a few times before being sent back by Lellman for 20 runs. In the end, Chad Bowes struck the winning runs as Canterbury got over the line with almost seven overs to spare.
