Commentary

And that brings to an end our coverage of the inaugural US Masters T10 League. It was quite a thrill and a spill and while it was marred by rain for the first few days, the cricket we witnessed thereafter was nothing short of a cracker. It's been a pleasure bringing all the coverage from this tournament to you on Sportskeeda and we thank you wholeheartedly for being with us throughout. Do join us for more action from around the world in the coming days of course. For now though, this is the duo of Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and Soumarya Dutta taking your leave. See you around soon - buh-bye and take care!

Ben Dunk and the team owners go up to collect the trophy with the rest of the team already waiting - and the Texas Chargers bask in glory. They are the inaugural champions of the US Masters T10. What a campaign, what a story - a real rollercoaster ride if there was any, archetypal of the ebbs and flows of the T10 format itself. And at the end of it all, they are the champions and you can be rest assured that the celebrations will go long and hard into the night!

Ben Dunk (Texas Chargers captain): I thought we had it in the bag but cricket's a funny game. Full credit to the opposition, they fought back really well. We had to regroup and get into the Super Over. That's been our story in the tournament - we haven't really done it easy but the boys have shown great resilience. The guys have been incredible. The Professor in the last couple of days...everyone's played their part - the backroom staff, the coaching staff - to make this successful. It's a format that I've been fortunate to have played a couple of times. You get to play with freedom and hopefully we've put on a good show for the people watching here and those watching back home as well.

And now for the champions - captain Ben Dunk is followed by the owners of the Texas Chargers as they collect the winners' cheque. Washed out games, misfortune at not making the top-two - none of it affected their spirits as they turned in a terrific display to come out on top and be crowned champions. Deserving winners or what!

Misbah Ul Haq: Yeah I mean really happy with the effort the team put in. Hafeez played an excellent knock and the bowlers didn't allow us to get any momentum. It was a good comeback by the team. Better team won in the super over but it was really a good final. I am not sure whether I will come back next year. I really enjoyed the tournament and liked every bit of it. Looking forward to come the next year.

The New York Warriors collect their runners-up cheque with Misbah-ul-Haq joined by the head coach for the same. They had their moments in the tournament and had a great run but unfortunately, they fell agonizingly short at the final hurdle. Still plenty to be proud of though for the team!

Mohammad Hafeez: First of all I want to thank God. The way everyone chipped in, we had a strong belief that we could win this tournament. We got crazy as well. We bowled very well in the powerplay and managed to get runs in that period. New York were almost out of the game but kudos to them for taking it very close. Cricket is still on until the final ball is bowled but it was entertainment. Credit goes to Sohail Tanvir for bowling brilliantly in the super over. Well the whole tournament it wasn't working well for me early on. The last 24 hours everything came my way. It's a wonderful effort from the team to win the competition when we were down and out. It was a great initiative. I am very much in for the masters league and I am sure it will get better and better from the next year.

Mohammad Hafeez is declared the Player of the Tournament for his superb all-round performances all tournament.

Aaron Finch is adjudged the Batter of the Tournament!

Sohail Khan is adjudged the Bowler of the Tournament - 15 wickets in the competition!

The match officials receive their mementos.

Sohail Khan is the Player of the Match for his stunning five-wicket haul that turned this game on its head.

Time for the post-match presentation ceremony with Erin Holland.

Let's get some player reactions in!

Pragyan Ojha: I think it was all about the attitude that the guys had throughout the tournament. Fidel was brilliant. Everyone stood up to the challenge. The way Hafeez and Mukhtar batted was brilliant and the way the captain Ben stood up. I think you've got to be very confident, that's what the T10 format is about. The batters are going to go after you.

Fidel Edwards: It was all about bowling the best ball first (to Kamran Akmal). Back in the day that's what I did - bowl the best ball first. We can keep pushing T10 cricket in America. It was good for me as a fast-bowler.

Umar Gul: Credit goes to all the players and the way they've played. We couldn't play the first few games due to rain but the way we came back was great. Credit goes to the whole team. Momentum and self-belief is very important and we always had belief as a team. We had a balanced side. The way the bowlers did was amazing. Credit goes to the bowlers.

Super Over
Texas Chargers 15/1 in 1 over | New York Warriors 13 in 1 over

Texas Chargers 92 all out in 10 overs
Mohammad Hafeez 46(17) | Sohail Khan 5/15
Ben Dunk 20(12) | Umaid Asif 2/14

We've have just witnessed one of the greatest games of T10 cricket here and the Chargers have prevailed here as Ian Smith would say "By the barest of the margins" It took more than 20 overs to separate the two sides here at Lauderhill and it went down to the super over which the Chargers pulled off and won by 3 runs.

The Texas Chargers dominated the run chase for the greater part of it as Hafeez played an unbelievable knock of 46 on a rather tricky surface. He was given great support early on with Skipper Ben Dunk also doing a fair bit of the damage. However they started loosing their way from the 7th over onwards as the two set batters had been dismissed.

The middle order and lower order stumbled under pressure and they almost made a mess of a rather easy chase. In the end, it was Tanvir who hammered a maximum and got the scores level but he fell of the very next ball and eventually the game went into super over.

The bowlers struggled early on but they came back brilliantly at the death as Sohail Khan bowled the best spell of the tournament. He picked up five wickets in his two overs and four of them came in the penultimate over. Shahid Afridi held his nerve in the final over to pick up two more wickets and ensured that the Warriors would get another shot at winning the game. Umaid Asif earlier picked up two crucial wickets as well.

Overall, it has been an absolutely thrilling game of cricket and it has been a nerve wracking contest. It has been an unbelievable way to end what has been a great tournament of T10 cricket. The Chargers started off slow in the tournament and they picked up pace late but they outshone everyone else in the end and have become the champions of the inaugural US Masters T10.
