- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 a direct hit and Patel is gone! He knows it. Jabbed away to the right of mid-off. Holland swoops down on the ball and nails the stumps at the non-striker's end. He pumps his fist and celebrates the dismissal of Patel. Back of a length and slanting away outside off, Patel gets on top of the bounce, jabs past mid-off and eyes a quick single but Holland intervenes, dives across, and throws the stumps down 9/18.1 Owen comes on and strikes with his first ball! Back of a length and on off, little offcutter from Qdk. The ball swings for the hills and does not make contact. Owen hits off stump and offers WF some respite from the MINY carnage 127/211.4 Pooran's blitz is over! Caught at long-on. Chaudhary drags his length back and messes with Pooran's slog-sweep. He ends up dragging it from just outside off to Maxwell. Pooran gets a rousing reception from the MINY dugout and MI supporters. Some relief for Holland at WF 183/316.6 Pienaar helps himself to another catch. Pollard is gone. Hard-length delivery outside off. Dwarshuis takes it away from Pollard. The batter has a crack at it and it results in a rare miscue this time. Pienaar runs in from cover and completes a fairly simple catch 242/713.3 Caught at deep midwicket. Shorter and quicker, on top of the stumps. Tajinder goes for the pull but does not middle it. He ends up splicing it in the air to Pienaar in the outfield. Good defensive bowling from Ravindra 213/415.2 Dragged to Owen at deep midwicket. Short, into the pitch and wide of off. Ravindra challenges Shakib to fetch it from a wide line. Shakib holes out for 4 off 5 balls 234/515.4 darted on the stumps, drilled back in the air to the bowler. The ball sticks in the hands of Ravindra. Or rather into the tummy of Ravindra. He manages to hold onto the ball after he cops a blow on his tummy. Ravindra is in some discomfort 234/617.5 Juggling catch at short fine leg. Ravindra bags his fourth now. Netravalkar leaps, juggles, and grabs it in the end. Shorter and on top of the stumps, drags a pull to short fine leg 248/818.5 Maxwell runs in from wide long-on and snags the catch. Full on middle, seems like another slowie from Dwarshuis. Ugarkar checks his shot and chips it in the air. Maxwell does the rest 250/9Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL266/9 (20 Overs, RR: 13.3)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Monank Patel, 1.1 ov), 2-127 (Quinton de Kock, 8.1 ov), 3-183 (Nicholas Pooran, 11.4 ov), 4-213 (Tajinder Singh, 13.3 ov), 5-234 (Shakib Al Hasan, 15.2 ov), 6-234 (Romario Shepherd, 15.4 ov), 7-242 (Kieron Pollard, 16.6 ov), 8-248 (Kunwarjeet Singh, 17.5 ov), 9-250 (Rushil Ugarkar, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 Shakib knocks over Owen! Fullish arm ball from Shakib, swings in from left-arm around. Owen drops down for the slog-sweep but this one keeps a touch low. Owen does not get enough bat on ball. He drags it back onto his own stumps off a bottom edge. Big blow for WF 2/12.1 pushed through on off, Ravindra shapes for a slog-sweep. He gets more height as opposed to distance. Ends up holing out to deep midwicket running in. Fairly simple catch for Kunwarjeet 10/216.6 Gous' sensational effort with the bat comes to an end. Gone for 132. Slower bouncer outside off, Gous has to fetch it from a wide-ish line. He drags it in the air to deep midwicket. Gous raises his bat and acknowledges the applause from the WF dugout 251/317.6 mis-hit down the ground and it's taken by long-on running in. Good defensive bowling, going into the pitch and wide of the hitter's arc. Chaudhary looks to flat-bat it, goes it off the toe-end so there's no power in it 261/4Extras12 (nb 1, w 11)TOTAL270/4 (18.4 Overs, RR: 14.46)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Mitchell Owen, 0.3 ov), 2-10 (Rachin Ravindra, 2.1 ov), 3-251 (Andries Gous, 16.6 ov), 4-261 (Nikhil Chaudhary, 17.6 ov)
