- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.1 bowled him! Finally the resistance from King ends. And he is frustrated. On a length on middle and leg, and keeps low. He was already into his hoick across the line, and missed; it looked like change of pace too. But King missed, and the ball hit leg stump. An innings which held his side together ends in the final over 129/71.1 that goes miles, milesssss up, before the keeper gobbles it up! On a good length on middle, and angling in. But the ball hints to straighten after pitching, as Lewis closes the bat face to flick across the line. But he does that too early, as the ball flies off the leading edge to gift Atkinson a wicket first ball 4/12.3 this time a top edge for the keeper! DDS takes his eyes off as he looks to pull. The ball didn't bounce as much as he had expected though. It was short in length around middle, with DDS shaping to pull early. His front leg was out of the way, and he almost skipped in the crease while trying to adjust for lack of bounce. But it was late by then 15/27.6 taken at long-off! Ingram falls just when ADKR seemed to have been back on track. He went low and deep in the crease, getting his front leg out of the way. The ball was full and around off, and he ended up skying it to the fielder, who hardly had to move 54/313.3 slog swept to deep midwicket! Another one falls just after giving ADKR some momentum. He gets down to tear into that full shaping away towards off, and clears his front leg. But he ends up finding the fielder, who was positioned well into the boundary 103/413.4 ah, and he holes out to long-on first ball! Looked like that was heading out for six, but fell just short. Hasaranga on a hat-trick. The fielder moved well to his right to pouch that. Full and tossed up outside off, and Russell eyes the shorter boundary. But he fails to clear it right away, and has to perish 103/515.1 finds long-on! Hasaranga gets his third, as ADKR's batters keep finding the fielders each time they try to slog. Full, dipping and turning into off, as Narine is down on his knees to try and slog sweep, but ends up giving an easy catch to Hales. ADKR lose their way, with Hasaranga taking charge 107/619.6 short and some pace on middle, and it takes off as he misses his pull. They try to sneak a bye, and try for it even if it seemed impossible. Matiuallah fails to make his ground at the bowler's end, and is run out as the keeper throws back to the bowler, who whips the bails off 133/8Extras12 (b 4, lb 4, w 4)TOTAL133/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.65)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Kennar Lewis, 1.1 ov), 2-15 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 2.3 ov), 3-54 (Colin Ingram, 7.6 ov), 4-103 (Charith Asalanka, 13.3 ov), 5-103 (Andre Russell, 13.4 ov), 6-107 (Sunil Narine, 15.1 ov), 7-129 (Brandon King, 19.1 ov), 8-133 (Matiullah Khan, 19.6 ov)
