- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.4 Oh, dear that's such a soft, soft dismissal! Brathwaite sees Ayub moving well across his stumps and follows him with a seam-up length ball. Ayub is a touch early into his flick and all he can manage is get a bit of a leading edge back to the bowler, who accepts it with glee. Follows it up with some antics of his own. 107/21.3 Is out the very next ball though! The plan to open with Motie is short-lived. Conrwall tosses this up a touch, holds the length back just on off. He eyes another sweep, but is early into his shot. The ball takes the top-edge and balloons straight up for short fine leg to take a simple catch. 9/116.3 Chopped-on and Hope departs for a 40-ball 50! Gets the length ball to angle away from Hope. He goes hard at it across the line and completely loses shape. The inside-edge makes a mess of his stumps. McCoy has had a much better game so far. 139/412.5 There comes the famous sweep of Azam, but he doesn't get enough bat on it and is holed out to deeep backward square leg. Length just on off. He sweeps, but gets it more off the bottom part of his bat. The ball goes high up as Greaves settles under it and completes the catch reverse-cupped and quite comfortably. He was going against the wind and that might also have made a difference. Just the second wicket of the tournament for McCoy. 109/318.2 Brathwaite, however, gets his revenge the very next ball and yells in delight. That was the slower offcutter on a length on leg stump. Hetmyer is outside he line of leg as he looks to whack it across the line. Gets a thick outside edge that lobs to point. 167/519.5 The leg stumps goes for a walk and isn't Holder absolutely ecstatic. Warriors have lost five wickets in the last ten balls. Nails the yorker on leg, Paul can't get his bat down in time and sees his leg stump uprooted. 177/918.5 Third wicket for Brathwaite, and what a return to the team for him. 131kph low full toss outside off. Shepherd looks to whack it across the line, loses his shape and ends up spooning it straight up. Qais Ahmed sprints back from cover and gobbles up the catch 169/618.6 Four-for for Brathwaite. This is just stunning bowling from him. Changes the angle but stays stump to stump. Very full right on off, the you miss, I hit kind of stuff. Smith misses, and Brathwaite hits off pole that goes for a walk 169/719.2 Low full toss on middle but Pretorius can only cloth it straight to long-on. Royals are getting those wickets in. Pretorius was looking to get more bat on it but the slowness deceived him. He needed more elevation on that, but couldn't manage it. 170/8Extras12 (lb 1, w 11)TOTAL181/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Gudakesh Motie, 1.3 ov), 2-107 (Saim Ayub, 11.4 ov), 3-109 (Azam Khan, 12.5 ov), 4-139 (Shai Hope, 16.3 ov), 5-167 (Shimron Hetmyer, 18.2 ov), 6-169 (Romario Shepherd, 18.5 ov), 7-169 (Odean Smith, 18.6 ov), 8-170 (Dwaine Pretorius, 19.2 ov), 9-177 (Keemo Paul, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 Stump to stump line and Cornwall is a goner! Gets a hint of shape on the length ball away from Cornwall. He plays down the wrong line and ball clips the top of his off bail. A skimmer and Amazon Warriors are on the board with the ball. 28/14.4 Cleans him with the full ball. That wicket to wicket line works wonders for Warriors once more! Mayers backs away, gives himself room in a bid to open up the off side. But Paul keeps it full and on the stumps. Mayers misses and sees his stumps in a mess. 39/210.6 Smith has the last laugh and he does the catching himself as well. Slower ball into the surface on off. Evans is through the shot way too early and ends up spooning it straight up. Smith runs across and completes the catch close the square leg umpire. 99/312.6 Brilliant catch by Keemo Paul haring to his left! That is stunning work from Paul. Banged in short into the body. Athanaze pulls, but does not get all of it. Paul sprints from deep midwicket, dives full-length, while keeping the boundary rope in mind. Hangs on to the catch, inches off the turf. 112/416.5 Stunning work from Junior Sinclair and Powell is a goner. Oh, what stunning fielding and that has changed the face of this game. Short and wide, he mistimes his cut to point where Sinclair collects the ball and in one swift motion pings the stumps at the non-striker's end. Powell is short of his mark 151/615.2 Picks out square leg with precision! Length ball on middle stump. He gets across and flicks it but plucks out Shepherd who moves to his right and low and completes and simple enough catch. Soft dismissal this. 129/519.6 Slices straight to short third! Motie, you Rockstar! What an over that is. He just had five to defend, and he conceded only two runs, picked two wickets and Warriors keep their unbeaten streak intact. Quicker outside off, he eyes the offside, gets a thick outside edge and Smith gobbles it up at short third. 178/819.3 Another twist in the game as Brathwaite holes out to deep midwicket. Flatter outside off, Brathwaite wanted to slam it away. Does not get a decent connection on it even as he was hitting with the wind. Paul settles himself and takes the catch 177/7Extras11 (lb 7, w 4)TOTAL178/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 2.3 ov), 2-39 (Kyle Mayers, 4.4 ov), 3-99 (Laurie Evans, 10.6 ov), 4-112 (Alick Athanaze, 12.6 ov), 5-129 (Jason Holder, 15.2 ov), 6-151 (Rovman Powell, 16.5 ov), 7-177 (Carlos Brathwaite, 19.3 ov), 8-178 (Justin Greaves, 19.6 ov)
