Join us tomorrow for the final where New York Warriors take on the Texas Chargers. Thanks for tuning in today. On behalf of my co-commentator, Hemant Brar, and our scorers, Harshith Gowda and Sudeep Poojari, goodbye.

Ben Dunk, Texas Chargers captain: It was pretty amazing. Big day for us, performance and the way we went about it was great. I was just focused on the first game, but credit to the boys for the resilience. We deserve to be in the final tomorrow.

Mohammad Hafeez is the POTM

3:36pm: A clinical win in the second qualifier. Hafeez and Mukhtar did not give California a sniff. They went hell for leather from the get go, the three powerplay overs up top went for 53 and there was no deceleration after. The batters cashed in on anything short or full, Texas dropping a catch didn't help. They took three wickets but that accounted for little at the end.

2
Bishoo to Hafeez, 2 runs

Chopped fine, Hafeez hits the winning tuns. Texas will face New York in the final! Length outside off, Hafeez tried to cut it hard. Got it off the edge, ball went through the vacant-first-slip area and was stopped in the outfield. Batters ran a comfy two.

Punches this one to midwicket off the back foot

Bishoo to Upul Tharanga, 2 runs

Makes room and chips it off the back foot. Gets it over cover, deep extra runs to the right to stop it. Ball was spinning in to leg stump, driven away from the spin

Has to be the final over.

Laughlin to Hafeez, 1 run

Low fully, perfect for the pick-up shot. Hafeez mistimes it though, goes to deep square leg. No sixes in that over, a rarity in this innings.

1
Laughlin to Upul Tharanga, 1 run

Full on fourth, driven to long-off

7.4
4
Laughlin to Upul Tharanga, FOUR runs

Full on off, goes across and helps it across. Too straight for short fine leg and too fine for deep-backward square. Raina has a baffled look as he strokes the beard on his chin

Laughlin to Upul Tharanga, 2 runs

1
Laughlin to Hafeez, 1 run

Wide and on the shorter side, belted to long-off

7.1
Laughlin to Hafeez, no run

Laughlin and Ramdin are convinced that it's caught behind. Hafeez stands his ground. Given not out. Fullish ball just outside off, Hafeez tried to slog sweep it across the line, ball went just over the bat. Did he tickle it? Looks close but hard to tell from the naked eye.

Laughlin. Final over of the match?

Powell to Upul Tharanga, 2 runs

Length on middle, Tharanga goes leg side and cuts it behind square on the off side. Deep point runs to the right and stops it with his shoe

Powell to Hafeez, 1 run

Goes across again, goes for the slog sweep. Gets the length ball off the bottom, to deep midwicket

6.4

Powell to Hafeez, SIX runs

Three balls not being sixes is too much for Hafeez. Amends that by going across and pulling the slightly short ball, that sits up, over midwicket.

Powell to Hafeez, 2 runs

Wide and full, Hafeez goes across and drives it hard. Well into the outfield, Nurse runs to the left from long-off and keeps it to two

Powell to Perera, OUT

Another first-ball wicket for a bowler. Powell has Perera hole out at wide long-off. Bowled from wide of the crease, length ball angled in towards fifth, Perera tried to slap it as hard as possible. Top edged it and Laughlin takes another catch.

Nurse to Hafeez, SIX runs

And fifty it is for Hafeez, off 16 balls! This was shortish and slow, sat up to be pulled. He whacked with the spin and got it over midwicket.

Nurse to Hafeez, 2 runs

Quick two to square leg. Short of length ball spins in to fourth stump, Hafeez tucks it gently and runs fast to near fifty
