    9.5 In the airrr. And this time taken! Massive wicket! Flighted length ball on the stumps, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep, miscues the stroke high in the air towards deep backward square leg. Van der Dussen settles underneath near the ropes and gobbles it up. 62/4
    5.6 Soft dismissal! Hard length ball on the stump, Spiceman charges down the track and tries to slice it over the in-field, but only manages to find the safe hands of Brandon King at short third man, connects the outside edge with no pace from the ball to work with. 46/1
    6.2 Massive appeal and given! Slower through the air on the stumps, Lewis premeditates of the front foot to play across the line, deceived by the pace off delivery, and hits the front pad. Lewis starts to walk towards the dugout, shaking his head in disappointment. 47/2
    9.2 Green strikes! Dot balls were piling up, and Mayers tried to charge down the track to find the crucial boundary. It was a flighted good length ball on the stumps, held on the pitch.

    8.5 caught and bowled! Slower through the air pitching outside off, QDK attempts to play it through the covers, extra bounce and turn off the pitch, hits the sticker area of the bat and pokes it back to Bidaisee. A stunning catch by the bowler, timed his jump well and grabs it with his right hand! 60/3
    5.2 And Salamkheil strikes straightaway! Length ball wrong-un on middle-off, King premeditates the reverse sweep, cramped for space and failed to connect, goes through bat-pad and breaks the stumps. 42/1
    7.5 Drakes takes a blinder! Another pace off delivery on the stumps, leans forward and plays with the straight bat, commits early as he is deceived by the slower ball, miscues it in the air to the straight of mid-off. Dominic Drakes moved swiftly to his right and, like a bird in flight, made a full-stretch dive to grab onto the ball with both hands. 58/2

    12.4 Rutherford has holed out! This time, the catch has been taken by Lewis. Fuller length ball on the leg stump line, plays the paddle sweep and swings it in the air towards deep backward square leg. Evin Lewis comes around and takes a stunning diving low catch to his left side, and hurt his injured wrist in the process. 88/4
    15.6 Massive wicket! Quicker googly ball outside off, Powell tries to go big and slices it in the air towards widish long off. Bidaisee comes around sprinting in and gobbles it up comfortably. Powell is furious at himself, and he rightly should be. That was a loose stroke from the skipper, who gifted his wicket away in the end. 116/5
    17.2 Pitched right up front on the stumps, moves across the line and plays with the cross bat, misses the line and hits the front pad. Massive appeal and given straightaway. Green opts to review; it looks plumb to me, though. Yeah, three reds and hitting the middle stump. 123/6
    19.6 You couldn't write a script like this! Jason Holder, the Barbados native who played for his home franchise for years, returns to his home ground in a different jersey and is the one to end his former team's play-off hopes. What a dramatic finish and a devastating turn of events for the Royals! Yorker ball darted on the stumps, Holder nailed the yorker right in the block-hole, Sams stays deep inside the crease and tries to hoick it across the line towards the on-side, massive appeal and given! Sams review it straightaway. Three reds and hitting the middle stump. 149/7
