END OF OVER:
20 | 11 Runs 2 Wkts | TSK: 126/9 | RR: 6.30

  • Daniel Sams26 (25b)
  • Andrew Tye4-0-32-3
  • Dwaine Pretorius3-0-19-0

9:36pm A superb bowling display by the Orcas, considering TSK opted to bat first. Conway got a few boundaries away inside the powerplay but there was not a lot to shout home about apart from that for TSK. du Plessis fell early again, with Milind and Chetty also struggling. Miller tried holding together the innings but once he perished to Tye, it was a real struggle for TSK, despite Sams, their hero from the last game, being at the crease.

As for the Orcas, they will be happy with what they are chasing. MINY defended a low score earlier in the day and the pitch might have only tired since. But 127 is a score they will back themselves to chase, considering the form Klaasen is in, and the firepower they have throughout the batting unit. Do join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Andrew Tye: (On the pitch and their plans) Parny was 50-50 on what to do so it was a good toss to lose probably. Looks a little drier than the last time and hard lengths are tough to get away. We tried to stick to that as much as possible. I am Mr. whenever, whatever, wherever. I bowl whenever the captain wants me to do. Something I am quite used to and I just adapt and go through with it. (On the score) One of those tricky low totals but we have confidence in our batters (to get the job done).

Tye to Coetzee, 1 run, OUT, brilliant yorker on middle and off. Coetzee cannot get underneath it and digs it out towards long on. Sams calls him through for the second because it is the final ball but Coetzee is not even in the frame as de Kock collects the throw at the batter's end and whips off the bails!

G Coetzee run out 1 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Coetzee out to face the final ball of the innings (provided there are no wides and No balls)

Tye to Mohammad Mohsin, OUT, in the air and taken! Length delivery on middle and leg. Mohsin has a slog at it and loses his shape completely. Skies it and Harmeet, stationed at long on, judges the catch to perfection before completing it!

Tye to Sams, 1 run, another full toss outside off and Sams misses out again. Swings hard at it but slices it towards deep backward point

Tye to Sams, 1 wide, speared down the leg side. Sams does not get bat on it and the umpire has no qualms in calling it a wide, despite Tye's desperate appeal to avoid the wide. Oh, hang on...looks like the Orcas have reviewed this. Reckon it is more in hope than anticipation. There is a spike on Snicko but that is when the bat hits the ground. Clear gap between bat and ball and Sams stays!

Tye to Sams, SIX, Sams goes big! Slower delivery on a length on off stump. Sams picks the variation and the length early, lays back in his crease and dumps it over the deep backward square leg fence!

Sams on strike for the final over which will be bowled by Tye. How many can he get? Can TSK get up to 130 somehow?

Pretorius to Savage, 1 run, OUT, Savage runs himself out! Low full toss outside off. Savage chalks it off the toe-end towards long on. He then decides he wants to come back for the second but he is always struggling to get there. The fielder fires an accurate enough throw at the batter's end and de Kock does well to stretch, gather the ball and take off the bails, with Savage comfortably short of his ground!
