Lions through

Deer Park will be hoping to go one better after winning through to the Victorian Turf Cricket Association group A T20 grand finals.

Last year’s runners-up, the Lions sent a big message in their semi final win against Airport West St Christophers on Thursday night.

The Lions were bowled out for 205 with three balls remaining after deciding to bat.

Upul Bandara top scored for the Lions with 89 off just 29 balls. He scored 10 sixes and five fours.

The Saints top order looked strong but the target proved too much as it finished 3-172.

Jair McAllister took two wickets for the Lions.

The Lions will face the Williamstown Imperials in the grand final, after the Imperials accounted for Keilor.

The Imperials, the only non-senior division side left in the final four, made 9-147 from their overs.

Tom Burton was the star with 74 off 52 balls.

Isuru Yaddehige took 3-19 for Keilor.

After losing an early wicket, Keilor managed to get going.

Every time it got a partnership going, wickets would fall.

The Blues were bowled out for 101 in the 17th over.

Luke Delbridge top scored with 28.

Tristan Alsop and Andrew Hendry took three wickets each for the Imperials.

In group B, Point Cook will face Glenroy in the grand final.

The Warriors batted first against Barkly St Uniting, making 5-170 from their overs.

Pavan Bade top scored with 45 at the top of the order.

The Dragons had a lot of starts in their innings but no one could go on with it.

The Dragons finished 8-147.

Aidan Brophy top scored with 28 before being run out.

Shafraz Mohamed took 3-25 from the Warriors.

In the other semi final, Glenroy was too good for Burnside Springs United.

Glenroy made 8-131.

Matthew Sanders took 3-19 for Burnside.

Burnside had a solid start and at 4-97 was well and in the game.

It then lost 6-14 to be all out for 111 in the 19th over.

Sumedha Gamage top scored with 25 before being run out.
