END OF OVER:
20 | 13 Runs 1 Wkt | HH: 139/6 | RR: 6.95

3.45pm Hurricanes end with a respectable 139 after crawling around the six-run-per-over mark for most of the innings. The top order seemed too reliant on McDermott, who scored 38 off 34 today, before Short looked scratchy again, apart from the three fours he struck in a row off McAndrew. Jordan Thompson saved them a little with his two sixes in his unbeaten 15 off 9. Can Hurricanes defend 139? Remember, Thunder had scored 209 in their last game. We'll find out with Srinidhi soon...

Haider: "Weird to Hasnain not bowl his full quota of 4 overs. Especially since hes been the thunders best bowler for the last two matches hes played in"

3
Sandhu to Owen, 3 runs, Owen middles the short ball to the leg side, deep midwicket dives to keep the ball in and it's rolling towards the boundary but another fielder then just taps it in again to save one
19.5
1b
Sandhu to Thompson, 1 bye, this one just inside the wide line, slow and angling across, Thompson swings and misses but they scamper across for a bye
19.5
1w
Sandhu to Thompson, 1 wide, pitches it away from the batter but it's too wide outside off. Called wide
19.4
6
Sandhu to Thompson, SIX, too full on the stumps at 130kmh, and Thompson has absolutely smoked that on the leg side, about a 90 metres over the midwicket boundary!
19.3
0
Sandhu to Thompson, no run, 111.3kmh, slower one and outside off with the angle, he swings and misses

The two batters had crossed

19.2
W
Sandhu to Short, OUT, a really good catch from Sangha the captain. This was well outside off and Short had to go after it, but he didn't middle it, went high between cover point and cover, and Sandhu ran to his right outside the circle, to dive in the end and get his hands under it

6
Sams to Thompson, SIX, a slow cutter coming in at 106.8kmh, it's short of length, and Thompson somehow manages to stay on the back foot while opening up but lofts it just over long-off! Unbelievable shot
18.5
0
Sams to Thompson, no run, in the block hole just outside off, Thompson tries to slice but misses
18.4
1
Sams to Short, 1 run, taken at deep midwicket! Or has he put it down, let's check that one. Short swung to the leg side, Gilkes ran in and caught it alright while diving forward but the ball popped out when the elbows hit the ground. He didn't claim it when he got up. The third umpires are still checking, and it's clearly not out
18.3

Sams to Thompson, 1 run, one bounce and to deep backward square leg as Thompson pulls the short ball to leg
18.2
1
Sams to Short, 1 run, short and cutting in at 112kmh, Short pulls with the angle to long leg

McAndrew to Short, FOUR, make that three in a row! Goes for the yorker but it's not quite up there, and Short drills it down the ground, between the bowler and mid-on for another boundary
17.5
4
McAndrew to Short, FOUR, short this time, slower delivery, Short waits and waits and opens up to swat it away to wide long-on where the fielder nearly gets to it but can't keep it in

Over the wicket now

McAndrew to Short, FOUR, too full, this time in the slot and Short slams it over the covers for a cracking four!

McAndrew to Thompson, no run, 143kmh, nice and quick on leg, hurries up Thompson a bit who defends it back

Hurricanes really crumbling here. Need some runs desperately. Thompson on strike
