What an incredible game of cricket! NSW needed 18 off the last over and could only manage 15. Rana Naved kept his nerve when all around him were losing their's. A dropped catch, missed run out, and tough wide call saw five needed off the last ball. But Ben Rohrer could only manage two and the Tigers go to the top of the table. They weathered the early storm and held their nerve at the end. Tasmania now top the Big Bash table with one game remaining against WA. NSW have two matches left to fight their way into a preliminary final berth. Rana Naved has been named Man of the Match for those two wickets and the last over heroics. Thats it from us. Join us tomorrow from Adelaide as the Redbacks host Queensland. On behalf of Venkat Raghav this is Alex Malcolm saying bye for now.
