Full commentary

That was extraordinary. The Redbacks collaspse was a surprise in itself but david warner 20-ball half century, including four sixes in one Tait over lit up the Olympic Stadium.

It took just 8.4 overs for the Blues to chase the 82 required.

SA need to regroup for the final after a horrible night. The Blues leave this competition with their heads held high,

They couldn't defend their title but they put on a show tonight. Dave Warner is a clear man of the Match.

So the six states have now been wittled to three. Join us for the preliminary final from the Gabba on Tuesday Night.

The Bulls host the Bushrangers in a replay of last years Prelim. The winner will take some momentum to Adeliade for the final next Saturday against the Redbacks. Join us then.
