- BATSMENRB4s6sSR19.6 Slight fuller length ball in the slot, opens the face of the bat, and tries to go downtown, connects the toe end of the bat and skies it high to long on, Donovan Ferreira comes in sprinting and takes a brilliant low catch, diving forward 148/61.6 Burger strikes! That's a bizarre dismissal! Banged in short-pitched ball angling away wide outside off, Allen shuffles across early and tries to ramp it over fine leg, connects the toe end of the bat, and chips it straight into the hands of the short midwicket fielder. 4/14.2 Bowled him with a peach! JFM had no clue about it. This is probably the best delivery of his T20 career. A generously flighted length ball on middle-leg, JFM plays inside the line expecting it to be the arm ball, but the ball has a sharp turn and bounces off the pitch, whizzes past the outside edge of the bat, and breaks the off stump. A dream delivery for any spinner out there! And what a way to bring up his 200th T20 wicket! 16/25.2 Cleaned up! Hard line and length ball on middle-leg, held on the pitch and kept a bit low on the track, Krishnamurthy plays down the wrong line, closes the face of the bat early towards the on-side and failed to connect, clips the pads and crashed onto the stumps! 19/312.4 Hassan Khan has holed out! Pace off delivery on the pads kept a bit low on the track, charges down the track, cramped for space, plays the flick stroke, and struck it flat towards the deep midwicket fielder there 88/417.2 Back of a length ball turning away wide outside off, kept low on the track, clears the front leg and throws his bat at it; a wild swing of the bat and tickles off the outside edge, bottom hand goes off, a good grab behind the stumps by Smit Patel. 125/5Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL148/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Finn Allen, 1.6 ov), 2-16 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 4.2 ov), 3-19 (Sanjay Krishnamurthi, 5.2 ov), 4-88 (Hassan Khan, 12.4 ov), 5-125 (Romario Shepherd, 17.2 ov), 6-148 (Matthew Short, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.2 Banged in short pitched ball on the stumps, extra bounce off the pitch, attempts to play it across the line to the mid-wicket area, full swing of the bat, and tickles off the outside edge, and Finn Allen does the rest behind the stumps! 15/21.6 Couch gets the big fish! Short of a length ball on the stumps, kept a bit low on the track, clears the front leg and attempts to hoick it over the midwicket area, struck it flat and low, finds the midwicket fielder inside the circle 8/113.3 Hassan Khan finds the breakthrough! Slower through the air looped up delivery on the stumps, dances down the track and tries to heave it away, misses the line of the ball as he plays with the cross bat, breaks the stumps 79/48.2 Soft dismissal! Widish length ball kept a bit low on the track, pitching outside off, hangs back and tries to cut it square of the wicket, outside edges, and mistimes the stroke, finds the safe hands of Bartlett at backward point. 43/318.5 Ranjane departs; game on! Hard line and length ball outside off, off-cutter ball around the sixth stump line, attempts to go downtown, miscues the slog stroke, and chips it in the air to extra cover. Short settles underneath and completes the catch. 135/618.3 Massive wicket! Widish bouncer delivery outside off, pace off delivery, shuffles across and slammed it hard towards long off, did not time it well enough to clear the ropes, Hassan Khan comes around from long off and gobbles it up 134/519.6 Bartlett has done it! He held his nerve like a true champion in a nail-biting finish, winning the match by the narrowest of margins! Full-toss ball on the stumps, Mohsin goes for the big heave over the on-side, mistimed the stroke and mishits to the covers, only managed to get a single there. 147/7Extras11 (w 11)TOTAL147/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Faf du Plessis, 1.6 ov), 2-15 (Smit Patel, 3.2 ov), 3-43 (Marcus Stoinis, 8.2 ov), 4-79 (Saiteja Mukkamalla, 13.3 ov), 5-134 (Donovan Ferreira, 18.3 ov), 6-135 (Shubham Ranjane, 18.5 ov), 7-147 (Calvin Savage, 19.6 ov)
