- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 Tries to lift it over fine leg and finds Harmeet inside the ring; got a shorter one around middle and wanted to ramp it away 58/112.4 Oh, that's a soft dismissal! Good passage of play for SFU; got some wickets in cluster and that too big ones. Tries to clear long-off and hasn't got all of it, just a mere chip and didn't go through the shot fully, and didn't have the pace to work with, straight to the fielder who came sprinting in from the rope; so two new batters on the crease but two very capable ones and the situation is tailor-made for them to come and tee off; have about 8 overs to maximize 110/49.1 Around the wicket, lobbed up fuller on middle and it spins in a touch, he made his mind before the ball was released to tonk him downtown, not quite underneath the ball and hasn't got the elevation, Harmeet charges in and takes a gem; Unmukt Chand goes after a start 85/211.5 Oh, that is a pitch-perfect, pinpoint accurate yorker right into his team, looks stone dead, don't bother reviewing it, marvelously done, hits his back leg low on the shin and he had no clue how to deal with it, damage was done way before his bat jammed down, this is a big wicket! He was looking dangerous 104/316.6 Bit of a relief for Shanaka after being thrashed for five sixes! Oh, I was loving this powwr-show from Powell! Well Shanaka has the last laugh but he has been hammered for plenty, Powell has done his job. He bowled it short and wide of off, he had to fetch it and got a top-edge that has been behind square by Baartman. What an innings, regaled all of us! Taken at short third 168/615.1 Around the wicket, short and wide, tries to mow it downtown and hasn't connected with enough power, getting the toe-end and hasn't got all of it, taken by Hetymer; such a magnificent fielder, was running across long-off and took it while running right down under his throat! Absolute screamer, great outfielder 136/519.1 Saw him backing away and tried to cramp him for room, low into the pads, went for a biggie and found Ali Sheikh at deep midwicket, he swooped like a falling star to take the catch! Useful knock. Swung it big and almost got all of it, taken near the rope 192/818.6 That's a stunning yorker, tailing into middle, he shuffled across a bit and tried to flick it to square leg, three reds on the DRS and he has to go! A very fine yorker, excellent delivery at the death, yorker has always stood the test of time 192/719.5 Demolishes him with yorker, leg-stump uprooted! great accuracy, saw him moving too far across his off-stump and bowled a perfect yorker on leg-stump, he tried to flick but was away from the line; turning out to be a great last over for Orcas 196/919.6 No chance he is going to survive this lbw shout. Touch full and seaming in at middle appreciably, tries a risky reverse lap and hasn't connected, takes the review just for the sake of it, three reds and he is already back in the hut so LAKR bowled out on 196 196/10Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL196 all out (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-58 (Colin Munro, 6.1 ov), 2-85 (Unmukt Chand, 9.1 ov), 3-104 (Sunil Narine, 11.5 ov), 4-110 (Andre Fletcher, 12.4 ov), 5-136 (Jason Holder, 15.1 ov), 6-168 (Rovman Powell, 16.6 ov), 7-192 (Saif Badar, 18.6 ov), 8-192 (Andre Russell, 19.1 ov), 9-196 (Shadley van Schalkwyk, 19.5 ov), 10-196 (Carmi le Roux, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 Length and turns in prodigiously towards middle, a rash smack with the spin and straight to the man at midwicket in the ring; he didn't have to move a muscle to eat that up. LAKR have got a strong start; two quality bowlers with heaps of experience bowling in tandem and that pressure created induces a false shot. Excellent captaincy; pegged Orcas back with an early breakthrough as well as not allowing them to hit freely 12/15.1 Over the wicket, pitched up and swinging across middle, throws his bat at it and slices it in the air straight to the man stationed at short third; easy catch and LAKR are right on top. This looks like a totally different outfit compared to last season, much-improved and confident 37/34.2 Down on one knee and tries to go for a sweep behind square, the ball hits the glove and then clips the bails; undone by his guile, spin, clever variations and it's not a piece of cake sweeping Narine; he is a master of his craft, misread the line and didn't account for the drift 33/28.1 Shadley had a memorable outing in the last game, great with his change-ups. Starts off from over the wicket, close to length around middle and he plants his front leg away from the stumps and loads for an almighty heave over deep midwicket, goes high in the air, got a top-edge and he takes the catch off his own bowling, charging towards his left; so the hopes of a recovery go up in smoke with this vital wicket 59/55.4 Wickets continue to tumble, what on Earth is going out there? They seem to be a bit lost and crumbling under the scoreboard pressure perhaps, watches his bat while moving back as he toe-ends it to Holder at mid-off who pockets it in his big bucket hands; LAKR bossing the game and haven't been made to toil at all. Orcas are responsible for this mess; there's been some poor shot selection and soft dismissals. 39/48.5 Continue to implode; not even competing. Bowls it touch short and angles it on his chest, got big on him, looks like a difficult shot to execute, attempted to spank him over long-on and found Unmukt who takes a stunning catch running from the deep. Looks like Orcas are preparing for a big loss; no application today with the bat 62/610.2 Slanted in from a length and he went for a swivel-pull but he finds Russell in the deep backward square who latches onto it in a jiffy, keep collapsing like a house of cards 67/715.1 Over the wicket, good length and moving across off, gives himself room and tries to clear the roof, Powell reverse cups it at long-off. Good contribution with the bat, laced with some lusty blows. jus 113/912.6 Goes for the big shot and perishes! Rattled the stumps; shortish and rolled his fingers on it, he tried to work it through leg-side and played all over it; draws the mistake and LAKR are marching towards a massive net run rate boosting win 98/815.3 Doesn't get the hattrick but has bowled supremely well tonight. LAKR have won by a whooping 81 runs and that is going to give an enormous kick to their NRR! It's been an absolute emphatic performance 115/10Extras11 (lb 7, nb 3, w 1)TOTAL115 all out (15.3 Overs, RR: 7.41)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Tim Seifert, 2.3 ov), 2-33 (Matthew Breetzke, 4.2 ov), 3-37 (Shayan Jahangir, 5.1 ov), 4-39 (Marcus Stoinis, 5.4 ov), 5-59 (Shimron Hetmyer, 8.1 ov), 6-62 (Dasun Shanaka, 8.5 ov), 7-67 (Ali Sheikh, 10.2 ov), 8-98 (Cameron Gannon, 12.6 ov), 9-113 (Harmeet Singh, 15.1 ov), 10-115 (Jasdeep Singh, 15.3 ov)
