Must have got rid of the super over for some reason. Very tense finish.

Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2015 5:31 pmFar closer than it should have been. Far too close given that both Prince and Buttler were set with less than 20 needed. Still, two wins away from a season that is looking to be a very good start to Giles' tenure.
Buttler started to look back to his best at the end. Hope he can take that into the last test.

Nope, fewer wickets has always existed in this competition. It's how we won the 2010 final.
Super Overs only come into play in English domestic t20 cricket when D/L has resulted in the innings being of different lengths. You can't really compare, say, wickets lost over 20 overs to wickets lost over 8 overs. Both SFs in 2011, which both went to Super Overs, were both rain reduced ties.

Thanks. Didn't know that.

Indeed. SF line-up is identical to last year, except for Northants being Birmingham's opponents instead of Surrey. And Brum were the first SF last year, with us-Lancs then the second SF.
I'd expect it to be the same.
