A great effort from SA who made the Final, but the Blues were just too strong. Todays Man of the Match was Josh Hazlewood for his fine bowling.

Mitchell Starc wins the Man of the series for his record haul of 26 wickets, including 17 bowled.

So well done to the NSW Blues, too good and too strong in the Final. On behalf of everyone, this is @LawrieColliver signing off
