- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 down the pitch again, looks to hit against the angle as Kuggeleijn shortens his length, and the thick top-edge soars high above Raipur before dropping into Southee's hands at mid-on 21/110.5 down the track, makes some room, and Sodhi tosses that up wider outside off. He has to reach for it and go hard at it, and he can't quite time the big hit, drops it down the throat of long-off 68/219.1 slower ball outside off, and this time Southee's plan comes off, as Blizzard slashes at it but can only deposit the ball straight into short third man's hands 168/3Extras9 (b 1, lb 5, w 3)TOTAL178/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Ben Dunk, 5.3 ov), 2-68 (Tim Paine, 10.5 ov), 3-168 (Aiden Blizzard, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 a stunner at point! Ben Laughlin has taken a screamer to complete a wicket maiden. He dived high and at full length to his right to take that catch. Devcich wanted to hit down the ground but the ball went off the outside edge. The ball had nearly passed Laughlin when he caught it 3/12.4 disaster for Knights, Williamson goes. He charged the bowler and slogged, that's not his game. He was trying to clear the infield at cover but the length was too short and he lobbed the ball tamely to mid-off 5/22.5 bowled 'im! Hilfy swings this into the left-hander, and beats his inside edge as he looks to drive down the ground, playing the initial line and not adjusting at all 5/36.4 he's done him with the full-toss! Watling could have swatted that away anywhere he wanted through the leg side, but he missed, and that swung just enough to be straightening from middle stump to middle stump when it hit him on the back thigh 19/411.4 beauty! That is quick turn outside off, and he overbalances and walks out of his crease as he pushes at the ball and it beats his outside edge. Paine whips off the bails in a flash, and Knights are in disarray 59/515.3 another wicket off a full-toss. It's wide outside off, and Styris could have hit that anywhere, but he picks out the extra cover fielder 87/713.1 down the pitch, and all he does is york himself, and the ball carries through to knock back leg stump 63/616.4 backs away from the stumps, and slaps this high and straight into long-off's hands, and Bollinger finishes with three wickets. This is a humongous win for Hurricanes. 92/1016.1 low full-toss, and today they are all going to get you wickets. He makes some room, and hits that straight to cover at a nice catchable height 92/816.3 now he looks to clear his front leg and slog it over midwicket. It's too quick for him and he slices it high into the air over the off side, drops into the hands of cover point 92/9Extras8 (lb 4, w 4)TOTAL92 all out (16.4 Overs, RR: 5.52)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Anton Devcich, 1.6 ov), 2-5 (Kane Williamson, 2.4 ov), 3-5 (Daniel Flynn, 2.5 ov), 4-19 (BJ Watling, 6.4 ov), 5-59 (Daryl Mitchell, 11.4 ov), 6-63 (Scott Kuggeleijn, 13.1 ov), 7-87 (Scott Styris, 15.3 ov), 8-92 (Jono Boult, 16.1 ov), 9-92 (Ish Sodhi, 16.3 ov), 10-92 (Tim Southee, 16.4 ov)
