- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.1 Lockie finds the breakthrough! Slight fuller length ball pitching wide outside off, pace off delivery, Monank Patel waits for the slower delivery and drills it straight and low to short extra cover, Ravindra bends down to his right side and gobbles it comfortably. 72/116.1 QDK has chipped it straight to midwicket! Did I jinx it again? It was there to be hit. A fuller length ball on the stumps, kept a tad low on the track, QDK plays his favorite whip shot over midwicket, connects the toe end of the bat and failed to find the required elevation to clear the in-field, Maxwell completes the catch and is pumped up! 148/49.5 Soft dismissal! Holland strikes with the slower delivery! 63 mph wideish fuller length ball, back of the hand delivery, Tajinder chases it down away from the body, plays the check-drive and finds the thick outside edge, Pienaar diving forward at short third completes the catch 92/215.4 Pooran departs! Slower delivery does the trick, again! Width on offer pace off delivery outside off, extends his arms and throws his bat at it, thick outside edge and chips it in the air to backward point, regulation catch for Holland there. 148/316.3 That's a massive wicket, Pollard departs for a duck! Hard line and length ball on middle-leg, 90 mph, extra bounce off the pitch, Pollard moves across the line and tries to glance it away to the on-side, tickles off the glove and Gous grabs it behind the stumps! 149/517.5 Cleaned him up with a yorker! Full, quick, straight, and right in the money! Bracewell gets stuck inside the crease, failed to connect the low full-toss ball and turned it into a yorker, attempts to dab it towards short third, goes through bat-pad and the bails are flying 163/618.4 Trouble, more trouble for the MI New York! Full and overpitched ball wide outside off, outside the tramline, hangs back and bends down, tries to reach it with his extended arms, only managed to chip it in the air for a simple catch to the extra cover fielder at the edge of the circle 166/7Extras11 (lb 3, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL180/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-72 (Monank Patel, 7.1 ov), 2-92 (Tajinder Singh, 9.5 ov), 3-148 (Nicholas Pooran, 15.4 ov), 4-148 (Quinton de Kock, 16.1 ov), 5-149 (Kieron Pollard, 16.3 ov), 6-163 (Michael Bracewell, 17.5 ov), 7-166 (Tristan Luus, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 Boult has got the big fish in the first delivery of the innings! Banged in short-pitched ball on middle-leg, that should have been dispatched out of the park. Owen plays the pull shot and drags it down straight to the deep backward square leg fielder, did not have to move an inch there. Owen departs for a golden duck! 0/115.2 And the bowling change has worked! Pooran gobbles it up and throws it in the air! Pressure was piling up for Rachin Ravindra, he had to go with the big shot. Wideish fuller length ball outside off, opens the face of the bat and plays the check-drive, fails to keep it down, and strikes it straight into the safe hands of Nicky P at extra cover. 130/40.5 What's happening down there? Gous has holed out at midwicket! Length ball on the leg stump line, nips back in with slight deviation, Gous moves forward and plays off the front foot, tries to clip it away to the on-side, chips it in the air over midwicket. Pollard tracks back following the trajectory of the ball, gets there in time running back, juggles the ball not once or twice but thrice, and finally holds on to it! The Washington Freedom are in deep trouble now. 0/28.2 And Kenjige gets his man! Short of a length ball on the stumps, Jack Edwards tries to whack it downtown, mishits it with his upper part of his bat, and hits it to the right of long on, Pollard sprints to his right side and completes the catch! 84/319.4 In the airrrrr... And taken at deep midwicket! Bowls the off-cutter delivery again; this time nips back in on the stumps, Maxwell charges down the track and swings his bat at it, does not get enough elevation, and finds the man at deep midwicket. The Washington Freedom skipper's drought with the bat continues. 171/5Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL175/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.75)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Mitchell Owen, 0.1 ov), 2-0 (Andries Gous, 0.5 ov), 3-84 (Jack Edwards, 8.2 ov), 4-130 (Rachin Ravindra, 15.2 ov), 5-171 (Glenn Maxwell, 19.4 ov)
