- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.2 And Maxwell strikes again with the new ball! Tossed up fuller length flighted on around the fifth stump line, with a slight deviation inwards, moves forward and attempts to clear mid-on. He plays the lofted stroke half-heartedly and chips it straight and low to Phillips at mid-on, the Kiwi all-rounder dives forward and takes a wonderful catch! 7/110.1 Kunwarjeet has holed out! Flighted length ball on the stumps from around the wicket, moves away from the wicket to make room, picks up the arm ball and plays his favorite stroke, straight over the bowler's head, this time miscues the shot and does not get enough elevation, finds the long off fielder there. 66/52.4 Soft dismissal! Hard line and length ball wide outside off, Pooran reaches for it and swings his bat at it, tries to whip it away over midwicket, connects with the toe end of the bat, and hits it straight into the safe hands of Ravindra at the edge of the midwicket circle area. 20/27.5 Catching drill for the Washington Freedom fielder! Wideish fuller length ball from around the wicket, pitching outside the off stump line, presents the full face of the bat and plays it with the angle towards deep extra cover, does not get quite hold of it, struck the toe end of the bat and finds the sweeper fielder there 54/37.6 Massive appeal and given! Lumba departs for a golden duck on his MLC debut! That seems plumb to me, though. Flighted good length ball turning in on the stumps, plays down the wrong line and beaten by the sharp turn inwards, no bat involved, and strikes the front pad. Ball tracking is coming up. All three reds, hitting the middle stump, and Maxwell gets two-in-two! 54/410.3 Cleaned him up with a peach! Slight quicker looped up delivery darted on the stumps, this one turning away sharply, plays through the wrong line to the on-side goes past the outside edge and breaks the off stump 67/613.2 Allen departs! Another soft dismissal, a brilliant comeback from Ravindra. Back of a length ball on middle-leg with a hint of turn towards the stumps, Allen bends down and looks away from the ball as he plays across the line, closes the face of the bat a bit early, and finds the leading edge, a regulation catch for Ravindra 81/717.2 Slower delivery off-cutter angling away outside off, Patel attempts to heave it away over mid-on, mistimes, and struck it in the air to the right of long on, regulation catch for Maxwell there 107/8Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL112/8 (18 Overs, RR: 6.22)Did not bat: NP KenjigeFall of wickets: 1-7 (Monank Patel, 1.2 ov), 2-20 (Nicholas Pooran, 2.4 ov), 3-54 (Tajinder Singh, 7.5 ov), 4-54 (Sharad Lumba, 7.6 ov), 5-66 (Kunwarjeet Singh, 10.1 ov), 6-67 (Delano Potgieter, 10.3 ov), 7-81 (Fabian Allen, 13.2 ov), 8-107 (Sunny Patel, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.6 Luus gets the big fish! Full and overpitched ball angling in on the pads outside leg, moves away from the wicket, and he tries to heave it away to the on-side, misses the line and length, hits the side of the pad, and crashed onto the stumps! 17/16.1 Richards takes a blinder! Low full-toss ball on the stumps, Rachin goes downtown and whacks it to the right of long on, Richards comes around and followed the trajectory of the ball, timed his jump to perfection near the ropes, kept himself inside the field and gobbles it up! 43/210.2 Kenjige finds the breakthrough!
