Over 19. 13 runs. Bowler: David Payne. Belfast Wolves: 136/3(rr 7.16)
- 18.3
SIX! David Payne to Glenn Maxwell. Off cutter length ball, off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. The skipper finishes things in style and leads Belfast into the final. After Paul Stirling was dismissed early Tim Tector and Devon Conway steadied the innings with a valuable partnership, scoring 28 and 35 respectively. Lorcan Tucker and Glenn Maxwell then joined forces and guided their side comfortably across the line. Amsterdam Flames bowled brilliantly throughout, but the target they set ultimately proved insufficient to challenge a strong batting lineup. Belfast Wolves will now face Edinburgh Castle Rockers in the final tomorrow.

Maxwell was the star with the ball, finishing with an outstanding four-wicket haul. Join us shortly for what promises to be an exciting run chase.
