List of 5 thrilling finals that took place in 2019
2019 has been a year of fond memories for cricket fans across the globe, so far.
5. SLC Twenty20 Tournament Final
The 2019 SLC Twenty20 Tournament was held in Sri Lanka. It was played between twenty four domestic teams in Sri Lanka, with the tournament running from 15 to 27 February 2019. The final was played between the Nondescripts Cricket Club (NCC) and the Moors Club.
The match was a complete see-saw as fates changed intermittently. Chasing 174 for victory, the Moors looked comfortably at course. At the end of the seventeenth over, they needed 28 off the last three overs with two set batsmen at the crease.
All this was just before a flurry of wickets that changed the match into a humdinger. At one point, the Moors found themselves coasting towards the target and the next thing they knew was the shock they couldn’t comprehend with.
Just when it seemed all was lost for the Moors, with 16 required from the last over with only two wickets in hand, Shiran Fernando turned the match on its head hitting two sixes after running a double in the first ball. Even though the Moors did lose a wicket after that, they just managed to cross the line in what was an absolute cliff-hanger of a match.
