Player of the Series went to Corey Mitchell of Sussex Snakes, who collected 2353 points across the campaign and delivered the kind of all-round impact that defined the competition.
The finals then gave the tournament its clearest turning points. In the first semifinal, Phantom Pros defeated Howzat Hornets with a result of Chasing team won by 4 wickets.

That set up a final between Phantom Pros and Black dragon, with Phantom Pros carrying the pressure of being the league leader into the championship match.
