- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 the bowling change does the trick, quicker through the air, lands on a good length outside off, turned back in, Jacobs decides to play the reverse-sweep, misses and is rapped on the pads, Rudi thinks it's out, we need to see a replay. It appeared to strike him in line as it looked like it turned in. Yes, replays confirm he was struck in line and it would have hit middle and leg 45/24.1 bowled'im! Full toss and Prince chose the right shot, trying to swing it over midwicket but made no contact and heard the death rattle. Out to a bad ball, Chennai strike 39/110.5 bowled on a good length outside off and Ingram tries to go downtown, aiming to clear long-on, it ends up being a miscue, lots of elevation on it and lands safely in the palms of Raina who judges it to perfection, he was at midwicket 73/313.5 Warriors are sliding here, Kreusch gave him the charge this time, Murali tossed it up, got to the pitch and just chipped it towards midwicket where Raina moved to his left and completed another good catch 82/513.1 Warriors in trouble now, Murali attacks from round the wicket, it's short and bowled quicker through the air, Boucher rocks back to pull that over midwicket, it turns in just a hint, beats the swing of the bat and crashes into the stumps 81/417.1 was the carrom ball, Botha was going after it irrespective of what it was, didn't turn in and produced the top edge, snapped comfortably at cover 111/619.4 that was the doosra and Thyssen didn't pick it, it turned the other way just as Thyssen tried to swing it across the line from well outside off stump, got a top edge and the fielder at cover makes no mistake 125/7Extras8 (lb 4, w 4)TOTAL128/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.4)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Ashwell Prince, 4.1 ov), 2-45 (Davy Jacobs, 5.4 ov), 3-73 (Colin Ingram, 10.5 ov), 4-81 (Mark Boucher, 13.1 ov), 5-82 (Justin Kreusch, 13.5 ov), 6-111 (Johan Botha, 17.1 ov), 7-125 (Craig Thyssen, 19.4 ov)
