You can't ask for more from a T20 game that too a final. Lions were crushing nicely after losing three early wickets with the partnership of Lara and Marshal. As the saying goes, the tempo shifted from then on when Lara walks back due to hamstring injury..And Arabians picked couple of quick wickets after that with one from the help of Chanderpaul who took an absolute screamer at deep square leg. It was even then looked all good for the Lions until Naved came back for the second spell when he broke their break-bone with a hat-trick..Gemini Arabians wins the tournament without losing a single game. That's all for tonight, this is Chandan Duorah signing off. Good night and take care!

Onions to Peterson, SIX runs

Ah.. this match is quite like the Indian daily soaps..another twist in the tale..Slogs this length ball towards the wide of long-on as Hodge holds the catch near the ropes but momentum carries him over the rope, throws it back and comes back to hold it. Replay shows his back leg touched the ropes when he initially catches that..

Naved-ul-Hasan to Jarvis, OUT

he picks his fourth wicket, this was shortish and moving away from Jarvis who already backed away to make room and get it over the extra cover. This ball rises touch extra and also he was quite away from it when the bat connects the ball, it lobs towards the mid-off where Chanderpaul holds a simple catch..

Naved-ul-Hasan to Streak, OUT

Two in two! What a ball that was..absolute class. Anyone can be out on a given day. Naved pushes a swinging yorker on the middle and leg stump. Streak was quite late to get his bat down and hits him on the toes infront of the stumps. Umpire raises the finger without taking much time, can't be as simple as that..

Naved-ul-Hasan to Botha, OUT

Naved strikes and this game is rolling on..the swinging pendulum..It was bowled from wide of the crease and that nips back in with the angle. Botha stays in the crease and tries to work with a straight bat face leaving out a huge bat pad gap as he was inside the line of it, ball sneaks through it and shatters the stumps. Another big wicket knowing what Botha can do..
