And there it is, the Redbacks have made it four from four to advance to the KFC Twenty 20 Big Bash Final and a spot in the lucrative T20 Champions League, the crowd on their feet in appreciation.
Despite a less than impressive 131 all out from 18 overs (including 6/4 to finish the innnings), the Redbacks have fought and clawed their way back with some brilliant bowling, thanks largely to Tait and O'Brien with 3 wickets apiece.
We can't forget Rana Naved's hat-trick in the first innings as well as the Tigers four wickets in four balls. At one stage after the Tigers were 2/0, there'd been an amazing 8 wickets in 13 balls.
Thanks for your company tonight, I've been Andrew Fuss and you can join us again tomorrow night for the important clash between NSW and Queenlsand.
Before I go, Aaron O'Brien named man of the match for his impressive four over spell in the middle of the Tigers innings, including the wickets of Bailey and Birt. Good night
