- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 Finn Allen takes a stunning catch! Quicker and a touch fuller outside off, he goes for the inside-out shot but mistimes it towards wide long off. Finn Allen sprints around, covers the ground and dives fully stretched to pull off a spectacular catch. Massive wicket! 72/111.4 Mukkamalla bites the dust! A touch fuller and offering width outside off, he shuffles across to play through the line of the ball. He doesn't quite get a hold of it as he tries to send it downtown, hitting it flat and hard straight to the fielder at long off. 92/48.3 Rossouw departs for a silver duck! Tossed up on a fuller length on the stumps, Rossouw attempts to drill it down the ground but chips it straight back to the bowler. It connects with the toe-end of the bat, traveling low to the left of Matt Short, who crouches down in his follow-through to pouch it comfortably. 77/210.2 Direct hit and looks like Milind is short of his ground! A touch fuller around off, he walks out of his crease and plays it towards cover, setting off for a quick single. Matt Short dives brilliant to his right, gathers the ball and hits the stumps at the bowler's end with the batter well short of his crease. Top-tier fielding from the Unicorns skipper! 87/312.3 Cleaned him up! It was always a risk for Ranjane, who was shuffling across a bit too much. This time, Couch bowls a length delivery on the stumps that angles in and keeps a touch low. Ranjane moves across to create room, completely exposing his stumps as he tries to glance it away, but he gets nowhere near the line of the ball and is clean bowled. 96/516.6 Caught at mid-on! This time Mulder attempts to go big, but he mishits the slog and sends it high into the air. It doesn't get any distance and Finn Allen runs in from the long on area to settle under it and complete the catch. 136/619.2 Ferreira has holed out at deep third! A 110 kph pace off length delivery around off, an off-cutter from Mudassar, and Ferreira tries to tonk it across the line. He only manages a leading edge that carries straight to Siddle at deep third. Mudassar immediately runs to his skipper, absolutely pumped up as their plan works to perfection! 151/817.6 Bowled him with a scorching yorker! A 139.8 kph rocket from Siddle right in the block-hole leaves Viljoen completely beaten for pace. He attempts to dig it out but gets nowhere near the line of the ball as it crashes into the base of the stumps. An absolutely unplayable delivery! 145/7Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL161/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.05)Did not bat: AR LambaFall of wickets: 1-72 (Faf du Plessis, 7.5 ov), 2-77 (Rilee Rossouw, 8.3 ov), 3-87 (Milind Kumar, 10.2 ov), 4-92 (Saiteja Mukkamalla, 11.4 ov), 5-96 (Shubham Ranjane, 12.3 ov), 6-136 (Wiaan Mulder, 16.6 ov), 7-145 (Hardus Viljoen, 17.6 ov), 8-151 (Donovan Ferreira, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Amshi de Silva is breathing fire! And what about that catch from Faf! De Silva bowls it wide outside off and Pretorius goes for a massive whack through the covers, chipping it low and hard to the right of mid-off. Faf du Plessis flies through the air, stretching his right hand to pluck a stunning, one-handed screamer, and does the archery style celebration! Pretorius is in complete disbelief, putting his hands over his head as he walks off. 33/22.1 Gets the massive wicket. Bowled'em! Hard length delivery on the stumps, Allen clears his front leg and tries to swing it away across the line, but he gets nowhere near the ball as it crashes into the side of the off stump. De Silva is absolutely pumped up, letting out a roar and punching the air in celebration! 11/17.6 Chopped on and Lamba gets his maiden MLC wicket! A wicket to remember for Lamba! He bowls a pace off delivery outside off and Short tries to carve it through the covers, only to get an inside edge that drags back onto the stumps. Lamba gets the big wicket of the Unicorns skipper, and the Super Kings are all over them now! 63/54.4 Squares him up! A pace on length delivery that keeps a touch low on the stumps. He moves onto the back foot to play it late but only manages a half-hearted dab; he misses the length entirely and the ball crashes onto the off stump 37/36.5 A three-quarter length ball is carved down to deep backward point, where de Silva rushes to his left from deep cover, slides to gather, and fires an accurate throw at the striker's end to hit the stumps directly! Krishnamurthi dives but is well short of his crease. We are witnessing a total masterclass from the young Amshi de Silva; what a special evening he is having! 56/49.4 A back of the hand slower ball on the stumps, and he tries a short-arm jab across the line, only to get a leading edge towards short third. Milne tracks back, safely holds onto the catch, and tumbles through a roll to regain his balance. 80/614.6 Chopped on and de Silva lets out a massive roar! It was a length ball outside off; the batter stays deep inside the crease and attempts a shot through the off side, but he plays well away from his body, dragging it back onto the stumps off a thick inside edge. 115/812.4 Disturbs the furniture! Haris Rauf's struggle with the bat finally ends. A hard length delivery on the stumps angles in as he clears his front leg to swing across the line; he connects with nothing but thin air, and the ball crashes straight into leg stump. 90/717.1 Slower ball does the trick, and that should be the game! Milne bowls a clever off cutter on the fifth stump line and Couch plays his shot way too early, leaving his bat hanging in the air inside the line of the ball. It chips straight up off the middle of the bat, allowing Milne to take a regulation catch. 135/917.4 The off-cutter does the trick again and removes the final thorn in the Unicorns' side! Milne showcases his clever variations once more, bowling an unplayable slower ball to the tailender, who was out there looking to throw the kitchen sink at everything. Mudassar does exactly that, throwing his bat at the delivery, but he is completely deceived by the lack of pace and bounce. The ball crashes straight into the off stump and the men in yellow can finally celebrate with a sigh of relief. 139/10Extras14 (lb 7, w 7)TOTAL139 all out (17.4 Overs, RR: 7.86)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Finn Allen, 2.1 ov), 2-33 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 4.1 ov), 3-37 (Connor Esterhuizen, 4.4 ov), 4-56 (Sanjay Krishnamurthi, 6.5 ov), 5-63 (Matthew Short, 7.6 ov), 6-80 (Hassan Khan, 9.4 ov), 7-90 (Haris Rauf, 12.4 ov), 8-115 (Hammad Azam, 14.6 ov), 9-135 (Brody Couch, 17.1 ov), 10-139 (Ghulam Mudassar, 17.4 ov)
