- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Razaaaaaaaaaa! That's a comeback and a half. Sears a yorker-length ball into Jaiswal's toes around leg stump. He's too slow to get the bat down, and he's been beaten for pace with the quicker ball like a medium pacer. Leg stump flattened with Jaiswal missing the line behind that attempted off-side loft. 13/14.6 NOT A DROP! And once again, a batter who gets a life falls in the very same over. Ngarava bends his back, bowls a short ball, and Gill's pull comes off the high-part of the bat. Totally mistimed, and an easy lob catch for Raza at mid-on. 40/33.5 thick edge to the keeper and Blessing Muzarabani gives out a roar! Abhishek goes down throwing his bat around, as promised. Muzarabani with a back-of-a-length ball around off, but angling away. Abhishek comes down the track and tries to slap it over the off side, but some extra bounce makes the ball kiss the toe of the bat en route to the gloveman. 38/217.3 Superb catch! Marumani is the man this time. Slowish through the air, Samson got into a good position to play the pull but just couldn't connect well enough. Still needed a good catch at deep midwicket. 135/514.2 Gottim! Ngarava holds on to a good catch in the deep. Flighted, on a length, and Parag has a go. But doesn't connect. It goes high, and into Ngarava's hands at long-off. 105/419.1 Run out! Good god! Catch dropped, but there's a run out. It was pitched up from Akram outside off. Rinku smashed it to mid-off. Raza dropped it. Miscommunication in the middle and Dube is stranded as the ball goes to Akram at the bowler's end. 153/6Extras10 (lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL167/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 0.4 ov), 2-38 (Abhishek Sharma, 3.5 ov), 3-40 (Shubman Gill, 4.6 ov), 4-105 (Riyan Parag, 14.2 ov), 5-135 (Sanju Samson, 17.3 ov), 6-153 (Shivam Dube, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 chopped on! And that's the sound of timber early. Length ball on a fourth-stump line. Madhevere tries to cut but the ball jags in sharply while staying low, and he gets the inside edge. 1/18.2 this time Washington gets his decision! Full ball just outside off, and sliding in. Marumani gets low for a slog sweep, but he misses, and the umpire is convinced. Should Marumani have reviewed? Small chance height could've been a factor 59/32.3 straight to deep backward point! The man Dube there is lurking under the shadow and Bennett's attempted slap flies right through to him. Bennett likes width, and Mukesh offered him that, but the bowling was always according to 'plan' 15/212.4 OUT! Myers backed away there. Dube followed him with a short delivery. Not fast, but accurate. Myers gets a leading edge on a nothing shot, and that's looped to short third, where Abhishek completes the catch diving forward. 85/413.4 Run-out! This was waiting to happen. That was outside leg off a length from Bishnoi as he missed his line. Raza swept. And there was chaos. Raza had no chance once Dube from short fine-leg hit the non-striker's stumps directly. Raza and Campbell were just not communicating properly from the moment they got together. 87/514.4 Dube gets his man! Dube didn't change his line or length, and to the left-handed Campbell, it became a pull-able delivery. No power in the shot, though, and it goes to Deshpande away on the short deep square-leg boundary. Poor series comes to an end for Campbell. 90/615.1 That's out! Abhishek gets a wicket first ball. That gripped in the pitch and turned away from the right-hand batter, and it's a straightforward catch for Samson behind the stumps. 94/718.2 What a catch! Mukesh pitches it up but wide outside off. Akram swings, as he has done well, but that only catches the edge, and Samson flies to his left to cling on. 123/917.5 Wicket! Dug into the pitch, Mavuta's pull only lobbed back to the bowler. Deshpande almost spilled the simplest of chances, but clung on in the end. 120/818.3 Timber! Doesn't try to be cute this time. Around the wicket. At the stumps. Ngarava swings, misses, and Mukesh hits. Mukesh finishes with 4 for 22 - that's his best in T20Is. 125/10Extras9 (b 1, lb 2, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL125 all out (18.3 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Wessly Madhevere, 0.3 ov), 2-15 (Brian Bennett, 2.3 ov), 3-59 (Tadiwanashe Marumani, 8.2 ov), 4-85 (Dion Myers, 12.4 ov), 5-87 (Sikandar Raza, 13.4 ov), 6-90 (Johnathan Campbell, 14.4 ov), 7-94 (Clive Madande, 15.1 ov), 8-120 (Brandon Mavuta, 17.5 ov), 9-123 (Faraz Akram, 18.2 ov), 10-125 (Richard Ngarava, 18.3 ov)
