What a match have we been witness to. This match can rival any other match for sheer drama. Pity that there had to be a winner. Binny turned the match around for Heroes after Khaleel's initial fireworks. If only had the Tigers accelerated earlier but then ...

Right then, we will have a repeat of the last edition's final. It will be Lahore Badshahs and Hyderabad Heroes again in the final

Stuart Binny has been awarded the Man of the match award

Join us day after for the first of best of three finals
