- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 the keeper is up in celebration, and then so is Amir. That was a great comeback from the experienced Amir, who took pace off and ended up foxing Ayub. It was on a good length on sixth stump, and angled away after pitching, as Ayub tried to swipe almost half-heartedly - perhaps he was beaten by the lack of pace - and the ball tickled the top edge and went behind 7/20.4 flashed to point! The ball was there to be hit, only for Zazai to find the fielder. It was short and a bit wide of off, as Zazai made room early to try and hack that hard. But he got it off the higher side of the bat, and right to Wasim, who took it with a reverse cup 1/19.1 slashed right to long-off! The fielder gobbles it in front of his stomach, moving a step or two to his left. Hope is annoyed, as he looked to heave this full ball a bit wide of off. I guess the idea could have been to go over extra cover, but because the line wasn't as wide outside off, he couldn't quite place it where he wanted. And thus ends a threatening stand 76/43.4 excellent take by Irshad at deep third! He took a good few steps forward, before diving forward and grabbing it low to his left. Another wicket for Amir just after being hit for six, as this time Azam gets a leading edge which flies behind the wicket. It was bowled short, and moving away to finish around off stump. Azam looked to clip across the line, but seemed to have closed the face of the bat very early. Warriors lose three inside four overs, and Tallawahs are on top 22/317.3 Hetmyer falls too! And these two quick wickets of set batters could be the difference between potentially 220 and actually 200. A near yorker-length ball angling into the batter, and dipping on to middle. Hetmyer went for the slog over the leg side, but the length was too full to facilitate that. The ball went flat and fast to long-on, and ended Hetmyer's attacking knock 178/616.6 ah, the middle stump is uprooted! He bowled yorker after yorker this over - save for the ball which went for six - and finally got his reward. Paul was standing after making room, looking to keep launching. The ball arrived bang on the line of middle stump, and was quick enough while also dipping and being a yorker for Paul to miss. A match-defining innings comes to and end 175/519.1 gifted to the deep-point fielder! It was a full toss angling across to finish on sixth stump, as Pretorius went slashing at it away from his body. It was there to be hit, only for him to place it bang where the fielder was placed 199/7Extras27 (lb 6, w 21)TOTAL210/7 (20 Overs, RR: 10.5)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Hazratullah Zazai, 0.4 ov), 2-7 (Saim Ayub, 1.5 ov), 3-22 (Azam Khan, 3.4 ov), 4-76 (Shai Hope, 9.1 ov), 5-175 (Keemo Paul, 16.6 ov), 6-178 (Shimron Hetmyer, 17.3 ov), 7-199 (Dwaine Pretorius, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 well taken by Ayub! He looks so calm even after grabbing it while running back. He was placed at square leg, and ran halfway back towards deep square. The sun was in his eyes, and so was the man at deep square trying to run forward, but Ayub did well. King saw the short of a length ball on the stumps, cleared his front leg, and swung across the line to over the on side, but ended up getting a top edge 1/14.2 skied to extra cover! Tahir is in action again. He took a few steps back while keeping his eyes on the ball, and took that with a reverse cup over his head. McKenzie tried to go inside out with that loft off this fullish ball around off, but ended up lofting it off the higher side of the bat 13/41.4 this is a fantastic catch! And Shepherd is on a hat-trick. It's Tahir who has taken that, and yet not ended up on the boundary while in celebration. He was standing at mid-on, so he turned around and started running towards the long-on boundary. The ball dropped over his shoulders, and yet he gobbled that despite falling over and ending close to the rope. This is what the shot was: Brooks looked to clip this short of a length ball on leg, but got a leading edge, in another hint of the slowness of the pitch 1/23.1 it's a hat-trick of brilliant catches! Wow, it's all coming off on the same day. This time it is Paul at square leg, who stretches his hands to his left, with the ball dropping over his shoulders. He ended up diving to his left, and plucked that confidently after taking a good few steps too. It was a short ball from Shepherd on middle, with the ball rising sharply off the pitch while almost cramping Jangoo for room 7/36.6 swatted to long-off! That was hacked hard and flat, but right to the fielder. Reifer made room early, and saw this short ball wide of off. He went through with the attempted hack, but ended up gifting a comfortable catch to the fielder. Tallawahs lose five, and are all but done 36/515.5 good low catch by Shepherd by long-on! That ends an enterprising stand, as he went low to take that just over the grass. Tahir bowled full on middle and leg, and Wasim again went swinging - what else could he have done? But there wasn't much timing on this one, as the ball dipped on to the fielder, who did well to end a very good knock 133/616.2 the list of good catches continues! This time it is Sinclair at deep backward point, where he went down to his knees even as he overran to his left. But the ball arrived to his right, and he took it with a reverse cup. It was bowled full and wide of off, as Allen went slashing at it hard and away from his body 140/718.4 taken at deep extra cover! On a length and wide of off, as Green went lashing at it. That was hit hard, but not with great power, as the ball found the fielder placed pretty close to the rope. Warriors win by 34 runs, but not without a fight from Warriors 176/1017.5 ah, appeal for a potential stumping, and the square-leg umpire goes upstairs. It's not a no-ball, first of all. The ball was full and a bit wide of off, as Walsh tried to half-sweep-half-swipe but missed. The ball went over his bat eventually, and he fell over on the pitch on his stomach. That made him lose balance, with both his feet in the air when the bails were whipped off. So it's out, and Walsh's cameo ends 171/818.2 potential run-out chance, and the umpire at the bowler's end now needs the third umpire. And Amir is well short, as expected when he only seemed to be casually running. Green went heaving over the off side, losing his bottom hand off the bat in the process. The ball went on the bounce to deep point, where Ayub got that over his head and threw it back in time 176/9Extras10 (w 10)TOTAL176 all out (18.4 Overs, RR: 9.42)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Brandon King, 1.3 ov), 2-1 (Shamarh Brooks, 1.4 ov), 3-7 (Amir Jangoo, 3.1 ov), 4-13 (Kirk McKenzie, 4.2 ov), 5-36 (Raymon Reifer, 6.6 ov), 6-133 (Imad Wasim, 15.5 ov), 7-140 (Fabian Allen, 16.2 ov), 8-171 (Hayden Walsh, 17.5 ov), 9-176 (Mohammad Amir, 18.2 ov), 10-176 (Chris Green, 18.4 ov)
