World Giants win by 20 runs and makes it to the Finals. Asia Lions have to meet the India Maharajas in the eliminator. Dilshan got the Lions to a good start, but after he was out, Afridi with some big hits, kept them in the game, but then they lost wickets at regular intervals to put a stop to the chase. Mpofu and Best picking up 3 wickets each. Thanks for tuning in, do join us again on Saturday for the Eliminator. On behalf of Harshith Gowda, this is Binoy George signing off.
