Earlier in the evening, Sri Lanka Legends won the toss and put South Africa Legends to bat. Apart from Morne van Wyk's 53, there was hardly anything from the Proteas with the bat. They faltered and could muster a paltry score of 125.  It was a Nuwan Kulasekara show as the Sri Lankan pacer rolled back the clock and showed his class as his 5-fer never let South Africa Legends in the game.

Just not enough runs for South Africa Legends bowlers to play with. They did get Dilshan early but defending a paltry total of 125, South Africa Legends needed something magical but unfortunately, there was no fairy tale. Makhaya Ntini and Alviro Petersen were the only two bowlers with the wickets. In the end there just wasn't enough runs on the board for South Africa Legends bowlers to put real pressure on Sri Lanka Legends.

Chasing a modest total of 126, Sri Lanka Legends lost their skipper and talisman, Tilakaratne Dilshan inside the Powerplay as he could not convert his start. Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga then steadied the ship before the former departed. Jayasinghe came out with intent and his blistering knock took the game away from South Africa Legends. All-in-all it was a very well-paced chase as the Asian side never let the run rate go over 7 rpo.

A fantastic chase from Sri Lanka Legends. They have cruised to the final and once again a South African side has faltered at the semi final hurdle. A tale too familiar. Sri Lanka Legends will take on India Legends in the final!

FOUR! Chinthaka Jayasinghe seals the game in style and takes Sri Lanka Legends into the Final! Floated delivery on off and middle. Chinthaka Jayasinghe hits it over mid on and gets a boundary to win the game. SRI LANKA LEGENDS WIN BY 8 WICKETS!

Time Out! Just a mere formality unless there is a monumental collapse.  Sri Lanka Legends are on the brink of reaching the final as they need just another 9 runs in 24 balls. South Africa Legends already know their fate. A tale that has happened very frequently in the past.
