The Scorchers' batters gave it their all, but the target of 116 runs proved to be too much in the end. The Cavaliers bowlers held their nerve and helped the side march on to the finals. It was certainly an excellent match to start off the proceedings on the final day of the tournament.
Kamil Pooran started off in his usual fashion and hit a couple of lusty blows before finding the fielder at long-off. Tion Webster had a brief stay in the middle before which he fell victim to a brilliant piece of fielding by Mahabirsingh. After the loss of couple of early wickets, it was Dexter Sween who put the chase on the tracks. The big all-rounder hammered the ball to all corners of the ground, clearing the ropes with ease.
While all these were happening at one end, the experience Joshua Da Silva was struggling to hit the ball off the square. He struggled his way to 15 off 17 deliveries. He cleared the boundary once just before he got out, without which the scorecard would have read even worse. That innings had an immensely detrimental impact on the chase.
Joshua Ramdoo was the final hope for the Scorchers. He scored briskly and top-scored the innings. But once Ramdoo got out on the final ball of the penultimate over, the result became quite apparent.
Aamir Ali was the pick of the bowlers for the Cavaliers. He bowled with guile and mixed his pace up. The lengths were excellent, making the batters guessing. His twin blows of Kamil Pooran and Dexter Sween really put the side right on top. Shaaron Lewis bowled a testing spell at the start, hitting the deck hard. Avinash Mahabirsingh and Jean Barrie also contributed, picking up a couple of wickets each.
