[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 1: 15-1, runrate=15.00, reqrunrate=8.16 (169-3)
Gonasilan 1-0-15-1
Williams* 1 (1 balls)
Cutler 14 (4 balls)

Last Wicket: Crouch b. Gonasilan 0 (FOW: 0/1)


0.6 2 Gonasilan to Cutler
Great fielding on the boundary! The sliding stop was inch perfect and the relay throw accurate enough to keep the batsmen down to two.
0.5 6 Gonasilan to Cutler
That was an enormous six! Almost joined us up here in the commentary box!
0.4 . Gonasilan to Cutler
Forward, smacked back down the pitch, Gonasilan doing well to get a hand to it and stop a certain boundary.
0.3 6 Gonasilan to Cutler
Cutler absolutely crushed that one. Anything that flies that far should have a stewardess!
0.2 1 Gonasilan to Williams
Williams uses his feet and drives to long off.
0.1 W Gonasilan to Crouch
The flight has beaten him there. Gonasilan shows that you don't always need prodigious spin of the ball to take wickets.

That's a very interesting start to a tricky runchase...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 2: 24-2, runrate=12.00, reqrunrate=8.11 (169-3)
Gordon 1-0-9-1
Rudi* 1 (1 balls)
Williams 6 (3 balls)

Last Wicket: Cutler c. Muggins b. Gordon 16 (FOW: 19/2)

Another wicket in that over. Runrate is good, wickets are a problem. Need a big innings if I am to win, but doesn't look very likely. Abdeen, Giddings, Shipp and Folds to come...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 8: 54-3, runrate=6.75, reqrunrate=9.67 (169-3)
Flitney 1-0-9-0
Rudi* 13 (17 balls)
Abdeen 18 (17 balls)

Last Wicket: Williams c. Talbot b. Gordon 6 (FOW: 26/3)

My players seem to have forgotten it's T20...:

 

[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 15: 110-3, runrate=7.33, reqrunrate=12.00 (169-3)
Winnacott 4-0-27-0
Rudi* 49 (41 balls)
Abdeen 37 (36 balls)

Last Wicket: Williams c. Talbot b. Gordon 6 (FOW: 26/3)

60 in 5 overs. That's going to take some doing...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

15.4 2 Flitney to Abdeen
Great running there!
15.3 6 Flitney to Abdeen
Abdeen has his mother in the crowd today. Show off!
15.2 2 Flitney to Abdeen
Full ball on middle and leg. Abdeen leans forward, whips it past square leg and gets a couple of runs.
15.1 1 Flitney to Rudi
Pitched on the legs, Rudi flicks in the air to the long leg region, single taken.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

That will help. 49 off 26 now...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

15.5 6 Flitney to Abdeen
He picks up the length early and pulls it away to deep square leg.
And that's his fifty! Well played.

Woah!
17 off the over in all. 43 needed in 24 balls now. Still very difficult, doubt I'll make it, but watching Abdeen has certainly been entertaining!

End of Over 16: 127-3, runrate=7.94, reqrunrate=10.75 (169-3)
Flitney 3-0-36-0
Rudi* 50 (42 balls)
Abdeen 53 (41 balls)

Last Wicket: Williams c. Talbot b. Gordon 6 (FOW: 26/3)

 

[ZoraxDoom]

16.3 W Gonasilan to Rudi
Bowled him! Terrible judgement from Rudi - it was far too close to cut and he pays the price.

Well, that's torn it. Only 4 off the over, 39 needed in 18 balls, Abdeen on strike. All over I fear...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

17.3 3 Flitney to Abdeen
That is a textbook on drive, and Abdeen will pick up three.
17.2 6 Flitney to Abdeen
I hope the club has insured the ground's windows; that's a huge six!
17.1 4 Flitney to Abdeen
Flitney is annoyed with himself. A leg stump delivery was easily dispatched for four by Abdeen.

Well maybe all hope isn't lost!! 26 in 15 now!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 18: 147-4, runrate=8.17, reqrunrate=11.50 (169-3)
Flitney 4-0-52-0
Giddings* 4 (3 balls)
Abdeen 69 (47 balls)

Last Wicket: Rudi b. Gonasilan 50 (FOW: 127/4)

Giddings on strike, 23 from 12 needed...

18.1 1 Gonasilan to Giddings
Nicely flicked around the legs, deep fine leg running wide to field.

22 from 11, Abdeen on strike...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

End of Over 19: 154-6, runrate=8.11, reqrunrate=16.00 (169-3)
Gonasilan 4-0-28-4
Folds* 1 (1 balls)
Abdeen 70 (48 balls)

Last Wicket: Shipp c. Fuller b. Gonasilan 0 (FOW: 153/6)

last over, 16 needed...

19.2 2 Gordon to Abdeen
To run away for two, was all that he could do.
19.1 3 Gordon to Folds
Overpitched on the toes, strongly clipped away through vacant wide mid wicket, chased down by Baker from square leg, batsmen quickly back for a third.

11 in 4...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

19.5 1 Gordon to Folds
The batsman cleverly rolls his wrists on it and it rolls slowly down to square leg.
19.4 . Gordon to Folds
Quicker ball from Gordon, pitching outside off and shaping away. Folds pushes hard at it and gets beaten.
19.3 1 Gordon to Abdeen
Comfortable single down to third man.

:
9 needed in 1 ball : Idiots...

19.6 1 Gordon to Abdeen
Nicely worked around to deep backward square for the single.

Heartbreaking. 7 run loss. Didn't expect to win, but to get so close and lose...

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Yep, I lost, Shahbaz got to 84, and Mahmood made 11. If I didn't have the collapse I would've made it.. 4 Overs and 40 runs isn't much.
