By Priya Natarajan · Date: 18 October 2026 · Venue: Marlow Park Oval, Harbour City · Format: T20

The numbers
Gulls
187
for 6 in 20 overs
Kestrels
183
for 9 in 20 overs
First innings
The Gulls chose to bat and lost Rafiq Lomasney in the second over for 3. Kiran Vasudev steadied the innings with 71 off 46 balls, sharing a stand of 94 for the third wicket with Neel Okonjo, who made 38 off 27. The Gulls were 151 for 3 after 16 overs before the Kestrels' death bowling took three wickets for 19, and a late 17 off 8 from Ishan Talwade lifted the total to 187.
Marcus Thorncliffe was the pick of the Kestrels attack with 3 for 28 from his four overs.
Second innings
The Kestrels needed 188 at 9.4 an over and reached 62 without loss in the powerplay. Their openers both fell in the space of four balls in the ninth over, and leg-spinner Dev Kashyap then removed the Kestrels captain for 12. At 141 for 6 after 16 overs the chase looked over, until Thorncliffe hit three sixes in 11 balls to bring the target down to nine off the last over.
Turning point
With nine needed from six balls, Brannagh bowled four yorkers in a row. Thorncliffe was run out going for a second off the fourth ball, and the Kestrels managed only a single and a leg bye from the last two. They finished on 183 for 9.
What they said
“We talked about one thing before that over: hit the blockhole and make them hit it on the ground.”
Kiran Vasudev, Gulls captain
“We were 30 runs short of where we should have been at the halfway mark of the chase. That is on our top order.”
Sam Ferreday, Kestrels captain
Player of the match
Kiran Vasudev: 71 off 46 balls, with six fours and three sixes, and two catches in the deep.

- Gulls: Northgate Rovers in the final, Saturday 25 October, Marlow Park Oval
