- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.4 Timberrrrr! Glenn Maxwell makes an impact straightaway, an ambitious attempt to reverse-sweep and misjudged the line completely, making a mess of his stumps, ball was agonizingly slow and disturbed the leg-stump, Clinton can't believe what he has done. It didn't spin much and he got too far away from the line, a vital breakthrough that might force Pooran to play with some caution for the next few overs. A useful innings which comes to a premature end, this was the time to accelerate and tee off but he has to go back in the hut 53/32.2 Touch fuller and angling in at middle, just went through the motions and hurriedly flicked straight into the hands of Head at short midwicket who swooped to his left and gobbled it up with ease. Once again, Monank departs without making any substantial contribution. He is coming back after an injury. The US-captain was sensational against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup but then picked up an injury and since then he is trying to get back in form. Jansen kept it tight at the stumps and got the reward. 15/14.6 Takes the pace off, lures him to go big again, maybe one big shot too many. Was a beautiful off-cutter on middle, he got more elevation than distance, Poenaar charged in and took a sprawling catch. He will be gutted with himself, got out just when he wanted to cut loose and charge 28/215.2 HUGE BREAKTHROUGH! Pooran throws it away. Lockie Ferguson bowls his stock short ball at middle and off, he goes for a swivel-pull but hasn't got all of it. A massive moment in the game! Hit's him a bit high on the bat and Maxwell, with his safe pair of hands, swallows it at his head height. Magnificent catch at deep midwicket, stellar fast bowling. Tough ball to negotiate with, he bowls a well-directed nasty short ball and there's only a fraction of second to go for the pull, it you're late, you're gone 104/610.6 Laboured shot. Over the wicket, lands it on a shorter length at middle and surprises him, Tim David was caught in two minds and his lean patch continues, just got stuck on the crease and there wasn't much conviction behind that pull, got a top-edge and handed a regulation catch to Marco Jansen at deep fine leg. Ball was climbing on him but he wasn't fully ready for a full-blooded pull/hook. Crucial breakthrough for WF! 70/413.4 Oh, that is a massive wicket, arms aloft from Netravalkar, he has got the prized scalp of MINY captain! It was a bit short on middle, not much pace to work with, he swivelled and pulled it away with minimal control and it's an easy-peasy catch for Mukhtar at square of midwicket, Netrevalkar manages to uncouple the devastating pair, all eyes will be on Pooran now 91/519.1 Chopped on! Netravalkar does the needful, tempts him with a length wide of off, he slashes at it hard and the ball ricochets off the bat onto the stumps, think he has done his job. MINY were in a precarious situation but this spellbinding cameo from Rashid have given them a good total, still five deliveries to go, every run counts and will be crucial in another low-scoring affair 144/816.5 Gottim with his unerring accuracy! Bowls short at a good pace drawing an outside edge that nestles in keeper's gloves, wanted to go big again and shimmied to the leg-side but it's too good for thee 111/719.4 Hits an awkward length and nibbles it away from middle, he clears his front leg and tries to club that over midwicket, gets the outer-half of the bat and spoons it straight to Smith who takes a simple catch 149/9Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL154/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Monank Patel, 2.2 ov), 2-28 (Shayan Jahangir, 4.6 ov), 3-53 (Ruben Clinton, 7.4 ov), 4-70 (Tim David, 10.6 ov), 5-91 (Kieron Pollard, 13.4 ov), 6-104 (Nicholas Pooran, 15.2 ov), 7-111 (Trent Boult, 16.5 ov), 8-144 (Rashid Khan, 19.1 ov), 9-149 (Anrich Nortje, 19.4 ov)
