Bonn Blue Star halted MSC Frankfurt's march to secure a second ECS trophy by winning an action-packed Final. Electing to chase after winning the toss, as they have done all throughout this tournament, Bonn Blue Star bowled tight lines not allowing the MSC Frankfurt batsmen to score freely. Although the ECS Frankfurt winners finished their innings with a flurry of boundaries, it didn't prove to be enough as the BBS openers provided a good start with the bat. MSC Frankfurt did fight back, picking up a few wickets, but Bonn Blue Star side had enough firepower to get over the line with three balls to spare.
Jawad Azizi, returning in the Bonn Blue Star set up after a week proved to be vital as the left arm spinner conceded just six runs in his four overs across two games picking up three crucial wickets. He bagged back-to-back man of the match awards helping BBS to bag the trophy.
