- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 Seifert has holed out at long on! A touch short and turning away sharply outside off. Seifert clears his front leg to drag it down but toe-ends the ball, hitting it flat and hard toward long on. The fielder walks in a few steps and gobbles it up comfortably. 32/41.1 Allen starts his MLC campaign with a wicket! A slower ball through the air with a hint of turn on the stumps. He gets down on one knee to play the slog sweep but connects with thin air, allowing the ball to crash into the off stump. 12/12.3 Edged and taken! A length ball around off that seams up and extracts extra bounce off the pitch. Breetzke plays with a cross bat and tries to tonk it out of the park but only manages a feather off the outside edge and Spiceman pouches it safely behind the stumps. 15/23.3 Hettie throws his wicket away! He goes for a big slog sweep across the line against the turn, but the flighted length ball holds its line slightly around off. It catches a leading edge, sending it straight to short third and Hetmyer bites the dust. Narine picks up a wicket on his 600th T20 game! 16/313.1 Massive appeal and the finger goes up straightaway! A flighted length ball around off that turns back in sharply, catching Sheikh by surprise as he gets stuck inside the crease. He plays with a cross bat and the ball thuds into the knee roll right in front of the stumps. Sheikh decides to review it, but Ultra Edge shows no spike as the ball passes the bat. Ball tracking comes up with three reds, showing it crashing into the middle-off stump. 72/612.3 Pace off ball does the trick and finds the breakthrough! A slower ball through the air, back of a length outside off. Stoinis goes for a big heave across the line but only manages to pick out Allen near the deep midwicket rope. 66/516.6 A clever piece of glovework by the Spiceman! A pace on length ball outside the off stump line that Harmeet commits to off the front foot, walking forward. He misses the length completely and is forced out of his crease by the followthrough. Fletcher gathers it cleanly and whips the bails off - sharp work behind the stumps. Looks like Harmeet has edged that one too, and he is caught behind! 113/7Extras7 (b 1, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL154/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Shayan Jahangir, 1.1 ov), 2-15 (Matthew Breetzke, 2.3 ov), 3-16 (Shimron Hetmyer, 3.3 ov), 4-32 (Tim Seifert, 6.4 ov), 5-66 (Marcus Stoinis, 12.3 ov), 6-72 (Ali Sheikh, 13.1 ov), 7-113 (Harmeet Singh, 16.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.6 Munro is caught at deep midwicket! A quicker fuller delivery down leg that follows the batter as he backs away and steps out of the crease. He flicks it away but doesn't get a proper hold of it, finding the sweeper fielder who runs in from the boundary to complete a composed catch. 70/44.6 Jasdeep gets his man! Length ball right in the slot and Fletcher dances down the track to send it downtown, but he miscues the slog stroke. It skies high towards long on, where Hettie settles underneath and holds on to it. A massive wicket! 42/15.4 Is this the start of another Knight Riders batting collapse? Length ball on the stumps, and he shuffles across to play it across the line. Chand closes the face of the bat too early, chipping it straight toward short midwicket. Jahangir dives forward, gets his hands underneath the ball, and holds on while maintaining his balance. Top stuff there! 43/26.6 Harmeet strikes! Full delivery from around the wicket, and he gets down on one knee to tonk it over midwicket. Badar completely misses the length as he swings across the line, connecting with thin air. Beaten by the flight and guile, he is clean bowled! 53/314.2 Powell finds the sweeper fielder! Catching practice for the Orcas! Sheikh hangs this one up on the stumps, and Powell plays a slog sweep behind square, picking out the deep fielder perfectly. 92/613.6 Uprooted the off stump! A length ball on the off stump line, and Narine moves forward to swing it away. He completely misses the line and length as he hoicks across the line with a cross bat, shattering the off stump. 92/519.2 Sends the off stump on vacation! It's a pace on length ball in the off stump channel that keeps a bit low. Holder tries to hammer it across the line, needing a big hit to keep them in the contest, but he fails to connect once again and the off stump goes cartwheeling. 126/719.5 Gannon takes a stunning catch! Pitched up outside off and Tromp attempts to whack this one to long on. He mishits it flat, failing to get enough power behind the shot. Gannon moves to his left, rushes forward to cover the ground and dives fully stretched to scoop up a brilliant catch just before it hits the turf. 133/8Extras10 (lb 6, w 4)TOTAL134/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.7)Yet to bat: Ali KhanFall of wickets: 1-42 (Andre Fletcher, 4.6 ov), 2-43 (Unmukt Chand, 5.4 ov), 3-53 (Saif Badar, 6.6 ov), 4-70 (Colin Munro, 10.6 ov), 5-92 (Sunil Narine, 13.6 ov), 6-92 (Rovman Powell, 14.2 ov), 7-126 (Jason Holder, 19.2 ov), 8-133 (Matthew Tromp, 19.5 ov)
