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

Absolem to Shahid Nazir, OUT, what an anti-climax! fuller on the middle stump and going down leg. Nazir, wants to run across to the other end and Harris throws the stumps down at the strikers end and we will have the third final
Shahid Nazir run out 7 (17m 4b 0x4 1x6) SR: 175
9 runs required off 6 balls and Alfred Absolem, who has not bowled a ball today gets to bowl the final over. Nobody envies him for the position that he is in
END OF OVER:19 | 12 Runs | LhBsh: 150/9 (9 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 7.89, RRR: 9.00)
