The Ultimate Heartbreak: Favorites Fall Short
The story of the day remains the exit of Prem XI and God Gift 11. Both teams dominated the league stages with 3-0 records,

the pressure of the semi-finals proved that in T20 cricket, records mean nothing once the first ball is bowled in a knockout.
The Grand Finale: Who Will Claim the Glory?
After 4 days of grueling cricket, we are down to the final two.
PH Art Emporium, with their record-breaking scoring history, will face the "giant killers"
Kings XI in the ultimate battle for the VPL Season 9 Trophy.
