BB vs TK

Right! Finally, we had a game in Ontario and the better team booked a spot in the final. 142 wasn't going to be enough by any means when you have a strong batting line up like Toronto. They had a strong start and looked to be complete control before Akhil's double strike made things interesting but Nawaz played a great knock to ease off the pressure. He scored boundaries at regular intervals and Shepherd finished the formalities with 10 balls to spare

So, the final is set between Montreal Tigers and Toronto Nationals. It is going to be a cracking contest, so catch the LIVE coverage tomorrow from 8.30 PM IST. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Arya signing off

Toronto Nationals won by 5 wickets

The Toronto Nationals emerged as the winners of Qualifier 2 and they booked a place for the final against the Montreal Tigers. The target of 142 was going to be a tricky one for the Toronto Nationals but they eventually made it look pretty easy in the end. Colin Munro and Unmukt Chand came out all guns blazing and started smashing boundaries at will. It was Chand who began the onslaught before Munro took the onus on himself to start finding the boundaries. 

The opening partnership between Munro and Chand yielded 57 runs within the powerplay. Munro looked in a dominating touch and raced off to 36 off 20 deliveries which included five fours and a six. The partnership ended when Chand was dismissed by Akhil Kumar and it started the collapse. Colin Munro was dismissed soon after in the next over. Andries Gous and Rassie van der Dussen looked in good touch and rotated the strength well. 

When Armaan Kapoor was dismissed, the score were reduced to 92/4. Mohammad Nawaz then came out in the middle and resurrected the sinking ship with a 27 ball 24. Eventually Romario Shepherd came and smashed a couple of boundaries which took them over the finish line.

Nick Hobson - They played the powerplay really well. It was nice, firstly I didn't get from the middle of the blade but found few at the back end. The total isn't enough. Favourite moment - I enjoyed the whole team atmosphere and hopefully back for the next season
