- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.5 Prolonged appeal for an lbw and umpire took his time before raising the dreaded finger, length ball and traps him lbw, no real doubt 10/111.4 Lowers his center of gravity and finds the man at long-on, one big shot too many, Hasan bags his second, what a day it's turning out to be for him, nicely reverse cupped in the deep. Was a quicker one slightly shorter than a length and turned in a touch from wide of off, fetched it far from him and didn't get all of it, vital scalp 102/47.6 Makes an impression straightaway, has raised his game. On a length at middle, lifts it up and finds the man at long-on, clever change of pace and he flummoxes him, that's a crucial breakthrough! 68/210.5 Full-toss on middle, slapped downtown by crouching down and the bat turned in his hand, hasn't been able to get fully under it, gobbled at long-off, always a huge wicket, he has dominated this tournament from the day of its inception and it's always a relief getting him early in the piece 94/314.3 Shows his knack of picking wickets again, he has been on absolute fire this season! A crackerjack, a brute of a delivery on a hard length with a hint of seam movement, shatters the off-stump, top of off, and the arms are aloft, he loved the sight of it, 89 mph thunderbolt gets the better of Bracewell. Excellent bowling, timely incision 124/516.2 Much-needed breakthrough and a timely one! Bit short and angled across off, tries to deft touch it away and ends up getting a feather edge to the keeper, he just flung the bat out and the outside edge is drawn 152/618.2 Hits the deck hard and angles it in at middle, hits lower part of the bat, more height than distance, Connolly settles under it and takes an icy cool gem of a catch, there wasn't a follow through in the shot and just lifted it up, hit him high on the bat 174/7Extras10 (lb 4, w 6)TOTAL182/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Agni Chopra, 1.5 ov), 2-68 (Monank Patel, 7.6 ov), 3-94 (Nicholas Pooran, 10.5 ov), 4-102 (Quinton de Kock, 11.4 ov), 5-124 (Michael Bracewell, 14.3 ov), 6-152 (Kieron Pollard, 16.2 ov), 7-174 (Tajinder Singh, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.2 Drops short at middle, swivel pull and doesn't get much elevation and nor distance, man stationed to perfection at deep midwicket didn't have to move a muscle to swallow it down his waist, such a cool catch. Now both set batters are back in the hut and MI New York are right back on the driving seat, SFU dearly needed him to continue, shot was on, just couldn't get fully under it and time it well enough, Bracewell strikes early and weaves his magic 108/61.3 thumps it hard into the surface, slowish bumper, his stock delivery, comes back in a shade from outside off, nagging off-stump line, spooned towards backward point and it's the big wicket of in-form Allen 19/12.1 Over the wicket, hard length on middle and off, gets big on him, he leans back and tries to hook, gets a top edge and is caught by the keeper, was a well-direct nagging off-stump line delivery, tried an audacious and difficult shot, undone by extra kick, pace and bounce, big wicket. 20/23.3 wickets continue to tumble! third down in the powerplay, slow teasing back of a length wide of off, tries to break shackles and tries a cheeky ramp, gets far across his stumps and ends up pulling it straight to De Kock who takes the simplest of the catches, Naveen on cloud 9 24/35.6 ruins the over for SFU, it was a mean short one on leg-stump, pokes with the wide one and gets a faint tickle to de Kock, fourth wicket down inside the powerplay, tried a hook shot and it didn't come off, Connolly gone after a start, SFU staring into the abyss 42/411.1 Oh no, just when he was turning the game on its head, Sunny Patel has stopped the fireworks by bowling a half-tracker outside off that didn't spin at all, he backed away to thrash it over midwicket and ended up feathering it to the keeper, that will make Pollard and Co very pleased, huge wicket of a man in red-hot form! 106/515.3 Change in bowling works! Game keeps oscillating like a pendulum, bit shorter on middle, heaves it in the air and finds the man at deep midwicket; crucial wicket at a crucial time, hits it flat and couldn't lift it enough 145/7Extras10 (b 1, lb 2, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL188/7 (19.1 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Finn Allen, 1.3 ov), 2-20 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 2.1 ov), 3-24 (Sanjay Krishnamurthi, 3.3 ov), 4-42 (Cooper Connolly, 5.6 ov), 5-106 (Hassan Khan, 11.1 ov), 6-108 (Tim Seifert, 12.2 ov), 7-145 (Corey Anderson, 15.3 ov)
