ICL Hyd vs Lahore, 2nd Final at Ahmedabad, Nov 15 2008 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Taking nothing away from the teams it must be said that both teams tried all their might to end up on the winning side. Pity that there had to be a winner and Badshahs would be looking for retribution tomorrow
Heroes have made it a habit to break the streaks of the Lahore Badshahs. Last edition, they broke the streak of consecutive wins and this edition they break the voodoo that Badshahs seemed to have at Ahmedabad
Inzamam is unhappy that technology, when available has to used and praises Heroes for the way they have played
Harris is all praise for Maher and his fielders and agrees that spinners have played a major part in the win and agrees that Kemp's catch is the best that he has seen on the outfield
Maher is the man of the match
Good night from all of us here at Cricinfo and make sure you join us tomorrow for the third final

Nazir, the final man in
Now the Badshahs have a problem as Inzi comes on the ground and says Kemp touched the ropes and being professional cricketers they should know that he didn't but then they are all perturbed for no reason. Maybe they dont want to play the third final
now ladies and gentlemen doff your hats to Justin Kemp. What a breathtaking catch. Commentators on air say they have never seen a catch like that and I can only nod in affirmative as it was a great catch. Boje bowls a fuller one on the off stump and Sami lofts it to long-off. Kemp runs backwards and across and takes the catch with his palm facing the ground - his hand in a position as if he's trying a backhand flick - and he then gets his right foot across to gain control and falls in front of the ropes. Clean and superb catch that is
