That's a wrap to our coverage of the Elimination Final live from Dunedin. Do join us on Saturday at Seddon Park, Hamilton for the Grand Finale featuring the Northern Brave and Canterbury Kings and for all cricket around the globe on our brilliant cricket network. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Ajay Ahire and Rahul Krishnamurthy. Till next time, stay safe, happy, and cool and get vaccinated. We shall see you shortly. TA-TA! and ADIOS! 
Cam Fletcher for his 63 runs off 25 balls has been chosen as the Dream11 GameChanger of the Match. 
What a superb finish we have had here at the University Oval in Dunedin. The Canterbury Kings are into the finals of the Super Smash 2021-22. A partnership of 98 of 48 balls between Carter and that man Fletcher does it for the Kings. Cam Fletcher, take a bow! 63 off 25 balls and Leo Carter was also unbeaten on 44 off 30 balls to seal the deal for the Kings. 

Chad Bowes set it up at the top with 51 off 41 balls. Tom Latham scored 16 off 5 balls while Daryll Mitchell struggled with his 11 off 14 balls. Leo Carter anchored the innings with his 44 off 30 balls but Cam Fletcher with his amazing 63 off 25 balls with 6 fours and 3 sixes sealed the deal for the Kings out of nowhere as the defending champions have been knocked out of the competition. 

For the Wellington Firebirds, Peter Younghusband was the best bowler with his 2-20 in 3.3 overs. A wicket apiece for Logan Van Beek and Rachin Ravindra. But the pacers went the distance especially towards the end of the game. A sensational game that has been sealed by the Canterbury Kings thanks to the Game changer Cam Fletcher. What an innings this has been once again. 

Earlier in the game, we saw 74 off 52 balls from Devon Conway who continues his merry ways with the bat whether batting at the international or domestic level. Finn Allen went for 12 off 4 balls in the first over after hitting two sixes. The skipper of Wellington led from the front as Michael Bracewell scored 81 off 54 balls with 6 fours and 4 sixes. Jimmy Neesham contributed with 16 off 10 balls at the end of the innings. 

For the Canterbury Kings bowlers, Matt Henry picked up 2 wickets in his first over but went for 47 runs as he went the distance. Shipley contributed with 1 for 21 in his f4 overs. The skipper McConchie contributed with a very economical spell of 4 overs for 24 runs despite not picking up a wicket. Todd Astle went for runs 20 in his 2 overs, so did Daryll Mitchell 41 runs in 3 overs and Ed Nuttall 37 runs in 3 overs. But their bowlers did enough to restrict the Firebirds to 190 which was par. But on a pitch which was a road and small boundaries, it was always a challenge to defend it. They tried their best but in the end, it was the Kings who got home in a whirlwind finish. 

So, the Canterbury Kings win by 6 wickets with 3 balls to spare. They will meet the Northern Brave in the final on Saturday. 
Its all over!! Carter finishes off with a six. Fletcher's swashbuckling knock of 63 and this 98-run partnership take Canterbury to the Final to face off against Northern Knights.

2 A couple of runs on the first ball. Fuller outside the off. Fletcher drives it towards the wide of long-off for a brace here. Brilliant running from both the batters. 
Oh my word!! This has got from bad to worse for Wellington pacers. Beek spills 22 runs off his last over. Cameo Fletcher is on fire!! Need 9 runs off 6 balls. Younghusband with the last over here.
