It's a sorry-looking batting card; Bedingham top-scored with 45 and then down the order Simelane added 21 off 22 balls but there was nothing else to speak of. The batters didn't look comfortable and struggled to get going. Rabada got two, Bosch snapped up four and Boult, Rashid, and Brevis picked up one wicket apiece. Linde, even though he couldn't get a wicket, was supremely accurate with his canny left-arm spin. It's a seriously potent bowling attack that covers all bases and they were all on top of their game--giving nothing away, stringing up dots, nailing yorkers, slower ones and the field placement was superb. Well done on the tactical front. It's a straightforward chase unless they do something way too silly. I'll be back shortly

Tom Daley: "Weird how there have been three different batting meltdowns in franchise T20 leagues today: one from Dhaka Capitals, one from Gulf Giants, and this one from SEC."
Around the wicket, attempted yorker ends up as a low full-toss on legs, chipped in the air towards deep midwicket, Simelane wanted a second and when he tried to get back, he was a touch too late, throw was spot-on!
