[NYRB]

Baseball styled for 6 from George Worker off Scotty Kuggelejin

 

[NYRB]

Matthew Fisher into the bowling attack for the first time today at Eden Park.

 

[NYRB]

Fisher welcomed to the attack with a 4 and a 6 off his first 2 balls.

 

[NYRB]

19 off Matthew Fishers 1st over and Auckland looked like they wanted to get a hold of him early.

 

[NYRB]

Auckland 50 up in 26 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Solia has to depart trying to ramp.

Auckland 54/1 after 5.0 overs

 

[NYRB]

W O'Donnell gets his first 6 of the day.

 

[NYRB]

13 off Scotty Kuggelejins last over there.

 

[NYRB]

Auckland post 181 . And Northern Brave chase to come soon.

 

[eltrain]

Love how you get to hear everything the captain and bowlers are discussing between balls here. Great stuff

 

[Plugger35]

This game is going the way you would expect with the first placed team cruising to an easy win over the last placed team.

Auckland will lock away a home final and a week off with this win.

 

[NYRB]

I dont have the numbers on me but the games I have seen Northern Brave play their batsman have failed to capitalize on the Powerplay overs at the top- this game case being in point. They probably will end up with the wooden spoon now with 1 game to go.

 

[NYRB]

Otago v Northern Brave battle for the wooden spoon:

 

[NYRB]

Game 29:

Canterbury (Playing XI): Chad Bowes, Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls, Cole McConchie(c), Mitchell Hay(w), Michael Rippon, Bevon Jacobs, Zakary Foulkes, Angus McKenzie, Michael Rae, William ORourke

Wellington (Playing XI): Gareth Severin, Nick Kelly(c), Muhammad Abbas, Michael Bracewell, Troy Johnson, Callum McLachlan(w), Nathan Smith, Logan van Beek, Adam Milne, Peter Younghusband, Ben Sears

Wellington have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Plugger35]

Canterbury finishing on 178.

Wellington did well to restrict them to that total after the start the Kings got from Bowes, Latham and Nicholls.

 

[Plugger35]

Canterbury winning by 18 runs to move to 2nd on the table and book their place in the elimination final against the same team on Friday.

The winner of that game meets Auckland in the final on Sunday.

 

[NYRB]

and the top 3 is done and sorted


Kings will fancy themselves in the first final of knocking off the Firebirds after that performance today.

 

[NYRB]

Auckland v Canterbury grand final on Sunday after the Canterbury team won in the last ball.

 

[NYRB]

Van Beek couldnt defend 19 runs in the last over and the scenes:

 

[Plugger35]

The Kings pulled that win out of the fire in the last over, I wouldn't be surprised if they knocked off Auckland in the final either.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Fair to say The Hinds screwed the pooch in the final against The Blaze.

 

[NYRB]

Fair to say The Hinds screwed the pooch in the final against The Blaze.

if you cant chase 90 runs to win in a 17 over game, you dont deserve to win.

Suzie Devine almost bottled that last over though, bowling wides, dropping catches and spilling a run out chance.

 

[NYRB]

Toss has been done and Auckland have won the toss and elected to bowl in the Grand Final:
