    1.3 Sliced to deep backward point! Sprays this one short and wide outside off, Seifert clears his front leg and attempts to splice it over the covers, connects the outside part of the bat and flays it to the deep backward point fielder. Amshi de Silva settles underneath and gobbles it up. 10/1
    3.3 Edged and gone! It seemed inevitable for Jahangir. Milne bowls another good length ball on the probing zone, and Jahangir places his bat outside off half-heartedly; there is still no visible foot movement and nicked this one to the slip fielder for a regulation catch. 15/3
    2.6 Done him with a nasty bouncer! Banged in short pitched ball, plenty of carry off the pitch from the seam-up delivery, tries to defend off the back foot outside off and strikes the outside part of the bat. The backward point fielder tracks back and takes a tumbling catch. Unlucky for Breetzke there, caught him by surprise. 15/2
    9.1 Nicked through to the keeper! Shortish length ball darted well outside off, Hettie tried to carve it down away from the body, extended his arms and only managed to kiss the outside edge to the keeper behind the stumps. Amshi de Silva is pumped up, and Hettie's misery with the bat continues. 48/5
    8.1 Sheikh departs! Short of a length ball on the fourth stump channel, makes room outside leg and heaves it away to deep midwicket; he doesn't quite get hold of it and hits it flat to Milne, who was stationed near the ropes. Milne rushed to his right side and completed the catch. 44/4
    12.2 More trouble for the Orcas, the skipper bites the dust! Length ball around off and Stoinis attempts to send this one downtown, miscues it as he plays it too early. Du Plessis settles underneath at the short cover area, holds his composure and gobbles it up, making no mistake. 70/7
    11.6 Bowled'em! Length ball pace off on the off stump channel, kept low and Shanaka tries to dab it to the point area, plays it away from the body and gets beaten by the lack of bounce, crashing onto the off stump! 67/6

    17.6 Finally, the Super Kings have managed to execute a run-out! A back of a length ball on the stumps is parried down to midwicket from the crease. Gannon turned back and called for a second run, but Jasdeep wasn't interested. By the time Gannon tried to return, it was far too late. Mukkamalla collected the throw from the sweeper fielder and whipped the bails off to end a very handy innings from Gannon. 101/8

    18.6 This one looks plumb and given! A length ball on the middle-leg stump channel and the batter rocks back to tuck it onto the on-side. He misjudges the length entirely and gets hit high on the front pad. There is a massive appeal from the bowler and the umpire raises his finger. De Silva even collects the ball and hits the stumps with a direct hit, Baartman was outside the crease. The decision is reviewed, but Ultra Edge shows no bat involved, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, showing the delivery crashing into middle-leg. 107/9

    2.1 Ouch! Faf is down on the ground! Ottneil Baartman delivers a stunning good length ball that shapes back in sharply, catching Faf completely by surprise and striking him in the unprotected area just above the pad. He is in severe pain and collapses to the turf, yet somehow manages to signal for a review in the process. Ultra Edge shows no bat involved, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, confirming it's hitting the leg stump. Faf has to depart, and the Super Kings lose their first review. 21/1
    2.6 Baartman removes both the opening batters! A hard length delivery shapes back into the stumps, catching Mukkamalla deep in his crease. He tries to hoick it away but only manages to connect the inside part of the bat, chipping it gently toward short midwicket. Gannon reacts sharply, diving forward to pouch a smart, low catch. 23/2
    5.6 Rossouw departs! Short of a length ball angling away outside off, tries to get on top of the bounce and pounce it across the line, but miscues it to mid-off for a regulation catch to Hetmyer at the edge of the circle. Some dancing moves by Hettie after collecting the catch. 35/3

    10.1 Baartman strikes again! Hard length ball outside the fifth stump channel, Mulder attempts to defend off the front foot away from the body, kisses the outside edge and Seifert does the rest behind the stumps. 50/4
    14.2 length ball around the fourth stump channel, goes for the big heave across the line and does not connect. Seifert looks confident and is already celebrating; Stoinis sends it upstairs. Ultra Edge comes up and confirms a thin spike as the ball passes the outside part of the toe end of the bat; the Super Kings players are pumped up right after seeing the replay on the big screen! 69/5
    19.3 Cleaned him up! Slower through the air ball in the slot, deceived by the change of pace leg-cutter ball, kept low and ricocheted off the pads and onto the stumps. Ferreira was a bit early on the slog sweep shot, gets nowhere near the ball and ended up getting bowled out. 112/6
    19.4 Struck it straight to Hettie! Length ball around the off stump channel, wallops it with extended arms and drags it aerially towards long on, hitting it hard and flat to the fielder there. Another pace off ball and Shanaka gets his second wicket! Dancing shoes on for Hetmyer, he is enjoying it out there! 112/7
    19.5 Hat-trick for Shanaka and what an over this is turning out to be! Bowls the pace off ball around the off stump channel, Milne clears the front leg and throws the kitchen sink at it, gets the thickish outside edge and Seifert makes no mistake behind the stumps. 2nd hat-trick of MLC Season 4, and that seals up the game too unofficially! 112/8
    19.6 Four wickets in a row and Hettie takes a stunner! Another slower cutter from Shanaka holds in the pitch, forcing de Silva into an awkward slog across the line that skies high toward long on. Hetmyer sprints in, covers plenty of ground and launches into a full-stretch dive to secure a spectacular catch! The dancing shoes come out immediately as Hetmyer and the Orcas celebrate a hard-fought victory, having held their nerves in this low-scoring thriller to pocket two crucial points. 112/9
