6.45 pm The Amazon Warriors are bundled out for the second lowest total in CPL history! Only three runs separated them from rock bottom, but this is by far the worst total in a playoff match in the CPL. Historic day in Tarouba, arguably for all the wrong reasons. So many bad dismissals in this innings. Toss up between Hetmyer bowled first-ball not playing a shot and Pooran managing to pick out one of the two boundary riders in the Powerplay. Can't have either one of those happen in a knockout match to one of your two best batsmen but both of them wound up being wiped out and it just spiraled further from there. Credit the Zouks though. They attacked once they got on top early and never took their foot off the throat of the Amazon Warriors. From 51 for 5 to 55 all out is something else. Chase to begin shortly as the Zouks look to clinch their first appearance in a CPL final.

Zahir Khan to Imran Tahir, OUT, Jimboooooooooooooo!!!!!! You know it's the Zouks night when the big man can lunge full extension at slip for a catch like that! Delivery flighted full, Tahir goes for a slog sweep and a thick edge cannons off the inside leg/pad before ballooning backward toward silly point region. Cornwall reacts sharply from slip and shuffles forward before laying out to pluck it one-handed inches from the turf. This will be on his career highlight reel ala Dwayne Leverock in the 2007 World Cup. The grace of a swan!

Zahir Khan to Sinclair, OUT, googly spins past the outside edge prodding forward. Looked innocuous but Fletcher goes berserk appealing for a stumping. Looks very very tight whether he is on or behind the line. Could go either way. I've seen that given not out depending on how thick the line is painted. It's only his toe that's planted stretching forward. Third umpire says not enough of his sole was pressed against the turf to be clearly behind the line. Fletcher's appeal is justified!

Zahir Khan to Sinclair, no run, good length ball on fifth stump, beaten playing back.

Shimron Hetmyer put a towel in front of his face after the Shepherd dismissal. It's been an ugly night starting with the Hetmyer dismissal, bowled first ball not playing a shot to Kuggeleijn.

Deyal to Shepherd, OUT, superb return catch puts Deyal on a hat-trick! Fractionally short again, not exactly a wicket-taking ball on the length, but Shepherd with a conservative back foot punch that he can't elevate over Deyal and doesn't attempt to keep down either. Deyal alertly dives forward and plucks this at ankle height. Two poor balls but they all count as wickets in the scorebook.

Deyal to Hemraj, OUT, bowled between his legs, an ugly dismissal that sums up the day. It was a short ball drifting onto the legs, Hemraj goes back to hammer this over midwicket but it skids slightly under the bat. The ball looks like it caroms off a combination of the box and the inner thigh guard on the front leg, which is well outside leg stump at the point of contact, before redirecting through the legs onto the stumps.
