Jordan Ludgater top scored with 23 at the top of the order.

Shijit Chandran Poovathingal continued his good form taking 4-11 off his overs.

The Cats were in trouble early in their run chase after falling to 3-17, but Yuvraj Singh and Brett Smith settled the side.

The pair batted through and got their side over the line in the 17th over, finishing 3-84.

Singh finished 40 not out off 35 balls, while Smith made 26 not out.

The Cats will face Elsternwick in the grand final, after it produced a stunning performance with the ball to beat Ivanhoe.
