On finals day, Moeen and his side produced one of the best come backs finals day has seen by defending 147 from an impossible position against the Nottinghamshire Outlaws. The Outlaws need 11 off 12 balls but it didn't get off to a good start for the Trent Bridge side as 3 wickets fell in the penultimate over. Notts required 2 off the last ball in a tense semi-final and Ben Duckett missed the final ball off the game which meant the Rapids ran out the winners by 1 run in a memorable game as they secured their place in the final where they would meet the Essex Eagles. | |||
