Blues seal victory in VIC Super Slam final
The Blues won the toss and sent Monash Tigers in at the CitiPower Centre and made scoring tough.
For the Tigers, Andrew Humphries top-scored, producing an unbeaten 42 from 39 deliveries as the side finished on 7-116.
Blues bowlers Cameron Stevenson (2-22) and Evan Gulbis (2-29) were the multiple wicket-takers, as the Blues’ bowling unit produced a collective 53 dot balls to stifle scoring.
The Blues began their run-chase aggressively as Evan Gulbis smashed 4 fours and 6 sixes in an outstanding 55 off just 16 deliveries. With Tom Smyth also dominant 44* (24), the Blues cruised to victory with nearly 10 overs to spare.
Both the Blues and the Tigers will now represent Victoria in Adelaide at the National T20 Championship on March 3 and 4.
In March 2019, the Blues captured the inaugural national title in thrilling fashion after defeating University of Queensland by one run in a final ball thriller.
