0.5 Smooth run-up, change of length, a little bit fuller around length and makes it curl across off, he chases it and flays it out to the fielder at cover who takes a gem of a catch sprinting to his left and outstretching his hands and gobbling it well, Schalkwyk gets the first breakthrough, he is usually very tight and economical, builds pressure through dots and seldom gives anything away, forces batters to take extra risk 2/1

19.1 An innings of note comes to an end but he has done his job, innings under pressure are always held in very high-esteem but what Forde and his ease with which he sheds wickets? This is his best figures in CPL; rising at waist height, not much pace to work with, he was leaning back and trying to loft it downtown, taken by Chase 165/8

1.2 Short and wide, slinks forward and hammers a cut but he hasn't timed it to perfection, finds the man to perfection at deep backward point and the fielder takes a sharp and nifty running catch while coming forward; this is a massive wicket; he has been so consistent over the last few editions, could have taken a little bit more time before cutting loose but it's already slow start, there is pressure to make use of the fielding restrictions, he had the width to work with, went hard but just didn't find middle and couldn't go fully through the cut, in a bit of a bother 3/2

3.3 It's either feast or famine from the blade of Usman! His attacking ploy scripts his own demise! Brings an end to his ebullience, but it was such a fun innings, reminds me of how Shahid Afridi used to bat, now this delivery tucked him up, came in at his midriff after leaping alarmingly from a shorter length, he went for a pull and found the man stationed at deep backward square. Could he have slowed down? 40/3

3.4 Over the wicket, Forde has knack of picking wickets in the powerplay, does it again, so canny and clever with his variations. He strikes away again. Little bit short and gives bit of room, gets Kingsmen' captain and leading run-scorer, huge huge wicket, tries to slash it past third but found his palms to perfection, he is so disappointed with his choice of shot, this is turning out to be a nightmarish start, need some calmness and some major rebuilding work, they need to rethink their tactics and planning, must slow down and not throw caution to the wind 40/4

5.4 Back of the hand length ball jagging in sharply as he looked to nuzzle it leg side, went fielding off his own bowling and was appealing as well, sents it upstairs without consulting Chase; he is adamant he has got him lbw. Let's take a look. Nothing on the ultra-edge, pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting wickets just under the top of middle-stump and the on-field umpire has to change his decision. Man, everything Forde touches has turned to gold, what a review, quick thinking, he was so confident, he was so sure, and he gets the decision in his favor, he has having a phenomenal tournament! Some bowlers are just instinctive wicket-takers, reading batters like a book, always ahead of them he is from that league 54/5

8.5 Did I jinx him? just when they were getting a semblance of control, another wicket falls down, gets width and gets greedy, good length and veering away ever so slightly, hard to tell if there was any spin at all but it did get some extra lift off the pitch, tries to cut it with so much power and ends up getting an edge to the keeper, gone 71/6

13.3 Gone! Drags it short and makes it veer in a touch from outside off, didn't have the pace to work with, hits it very flat and hard but taken in the deep on the second attempt, that is a prized scalp! Theekshana is very shaana (clever) Swallowed at deep midwicket, just couldn't lift it much, the power was there, no question about it 112/7

19.6 A heat-seeking yorker across off, shoveled down to long-on and he's struggling to get back for the second, fielder chucks a very sharp throw at Seifert who whips off the bails in a jiffy 169/9

3.4 Tremendous riposte, and he has done unflustered, unwavering expression on his face like he has done nothing, oozing with confidence. Hits a hard length and gets prodigious bounce, Seifert takes it on his ego and attempts to swat a pull, cramped for room, hurried by the fizzing pace, gets hit high on the bat and Hunain hurtles forward to pouch it 25/1

10.1 Over the wicket, full in length at leg-stump, wicket straightaway, introduction of this young phoenix, this dextrous and a very adroit leggie brings wicket, he tries to go along his merry way and mistimes it to Russell at long-off. Need a couple more to restore parity 91/2

10.6 Slip intact. Legbreak turns extravagantly across off, definitely an edge, replay shows thick deflection once the ball passes the bat, Lawes knew he got his man, had a big smile on his face, outfoxed him with his shrewd spinning methods. This new boy on the block is brimming with talent, got good bounce and turn. He is growing in confidence 93/3

13.5 That is STUNNING yorker! Rearranged stumps with a searing yorker, stumps are dislodged. Chase jams his bat down and was looking to shovel him down in the V. Gets the big wicket, need more to make it tighter, asking rate is not that stiff and Pooran is in sublime touch 114/4
