vs

Venue: Delhi

Toss: New South Wales Blues elected to bat

Player of the match: David Warner

Match status: New South Wales Blues beat Victorian Bushrangers by 79 runs

New South Wales Blues have comfortably secured a place in the finals of the inaugural Champions League T20 beating the Victorian Bushrangers by a convincing 79-run margin. The Blues were right on the money from the start of the second innings with Hauritz striking twice in the second over, sending back both the Bushrangers openers. To make things worst, Lee struck once before Henriques came in to pick up a couple early-on. None of the Victorian batsmen then got going and they kept on losing wickets at regular intervals chasing that big total. Henriques picked up three wickets in all while Hauritz and Lee got a couple. Blues have been doing pretty well through the tournament and have once again played brilliantly to beat their home side quite easily. Victoria failed to fire as a unit which cost them this match.
