The man once possessing the highest batting average in List-A history (he has since been overtaken by Ruturaj Gaikwad) had fifty to his name. It's been a rather poor season by his lofty standards with a tournament average in the low-30s, but can he turn things around here?

But rather surprisingly, it was Cameron Bancroft who beat him in the race to bring up fifty which he did at a run-a-ball, a far cry from his season strike rate of 58. And with that we also had the first drop of the innings much to the frustration of Rashid Khan, allowing the pair to bring up a century partnership for the 1st wicket.

To make matters worse for Queensland, neither batter could make up for their slow starts with Handscomb chipping back an easy return catch to ELA stalwart Nathan Coulter-Nile, playing hist first match all season due to Matt Henry's injury at the eve of the game.

But Warner continued to persist with the fiery Johnson with the sole purpose of getting Stoinis' wicket rather than saving him for the death. He did just as his captain asked, finishing his spell by removing the latter for 26 to finish with impressive figures of 3 for 41 off his 10 overs.

Tim David was kept in check by Hayden Kerr, who bowled a remarkable maiden over to one of the best strikers of the season. There were still questions regarding Adelaide's tactics with them having used up all three of their frontline pace options in Johnson, Cummins and Coultner-Nile. Rashid Khan too bowled out his quota, leaving only a rather inexperienced Hayden Kerr and one of either Travis Head or Aiden Markram for the final four overs which doesn't look too bright a prospect with only 28 required now.

Well, that's only if Queensland don't shoot themselves in the foot first, which is exactly what they did an over after David finally got one off the middle of the bat. Daniel Sams swung and missed horribly in an attempt to finish the game in one over against part-timer Aiden Markram, who used the former's overconfidence against him by getting him to sky one straight into the safe hands of Jos Buttler. The next ball was a dot, resulting in a stunning maiden over of epic proportions! Queensland now need a much more difficult 19 off the final two overs.

David struck another huge blow to keep them in the hunt, taking 9 off the penultimate over bowled by Hayden Kerr. This meant it would be Markram to deliver the final over with 10 required and David on strike as a result of Kane Richardson losing his wicket off the final delivery. Having already bowled a maiden in his previous over, can he do it again?

And he just might do it! Naseem very nearly blasted Markram over the ropes with the ball only just falling short of hitting the rope on the full. The scores were level; Queensland need just 1 to win off the final ball!

The result of this match is still very much in the air with a Super Over coming up next. Both teams will have to name three batters to face and one bowler to deliver the Super Over for the respective teams. If there's any confusion regarding the rules, please have a look here:

The man once possessing the highest batting average in List-A history (he has since been overtaken by Ruturaj Gaikwad) had fifty to his name. It's been a rather poor season by his lofty standards with a tournament average in the low-30s, but can he turn things around here?

But rather surprisingly, it was Cameron Bancroft who beat him in the race to bring up fifty which he did at a run-a-ball, a far cry from his season strike rate of 58. And with that we also had the first drop of the innings much to the frustration of Rashid Khan, allowing the pair to bring up a century partnership for the 1st wicket.

To make matters worse for Queensland, neither batter could make up for their slow starts with Handscomb chipping back an easy return catch to ELA stalwart Nathan Coulter-Nile, playing hist first match all season due to Matt Henry's injury at the eve of the game.

But Warner continued to persist with the fiery Johnson with the sole purpose of getting Stoinis' wicket rather than saving him for the death. He did just as his captain asked, finishing his spell by removing the latter for 26 to finish with impressive figures of 3 for 41 off his 10 overs.

Tim David was kept in check by Hayden Kerr, who bowled a remarkable maiden over to one of the best strikers of the season. There were still questions regarding Adelaide's tactics with them having used up all three of their frontline pace options in Johnson, Cummins and Coultner-Nile. Rashid Khan too bowled out his quota, leaving only a rather inexperienced Hayden Kerr and one of either Travis Head or Aiden Markram for the final four overs which doesn't look too bright a prospect with only 28 required now.

Well, that's only if Queensland don't shoot themselves in the foot first, which is exactly what they did an over after David finally got one off the middle of the bat. Daniel Sams swung and missed horribly in an attempt to finish the game in one over against part-timer Aiden Markram, who used the former's overconfidence against him by getting him to sky one straight into the safe hands of Jos Buttler. The next ball was a dot, resulting in a stunning maiden over of epic proportions! Queensland now need a much more difficult 19 off the final two overs.

Rather than finish the game himself, Tim David decided to trust his partner to get him back on strike in a bid to keep the scoreboard ticking. 9 off 5 now..

Another huge swing, and another miss! Naseem still couldn't get David back on strike, and it's getting likely he alone might have to steer his team to victory here. 5 off 2..

Code:
49.5  Markram to Shah, FOUR, That was a bad delivery by Aiden Markram, deserving this punishment

Naseem.jpg


And he just might do it! Naseem very nearly blasted Markram over the ropes with the ball only just falling short of hitting the rope on the full. The scores were level; Queensland need just 1 to win off the final ball!

Both teams walked out for the Super Over, with Queensland made to bat first this time according to the regulations. They lined up as follows:

Queensland Firebirds: 1 :aus: :ar: Tim David, 2 :aus: :ar: Marcus Stoinis, 3 :ind: :bat: Shubman Gill; :ind: :bwl: Mohammed Siraj
Adelaide Crows: 1 :eng: :wkb: Jos Buttler, 2 :saf: :ar: Aiden Markram, 3 :aus: :ar: Travis Head; :aus: :bwl: Pat Cummins


Code:
0.1  Cummins to David, two runs, Took the first one quickly the second was no problem


Pat-Cummins-SRH-CSK-IPL-2024-AP-1200-2024-04-0d45982eab5709b9f6a0749d923e8b28.jpg


It was a rather interesting choice by Adelaide to go with Pat Cummins ahead of the red hot Spencer Johnson, but he started off encouragingly conceding just two off the first ball to an in-form Tim David

Code:
0.2  Cummins to David, no ball, SIX, What a six!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


382953.jpg


But Tim David struck back off the next ball however, with Cummins missing the yorker length only slightly. What's more he overstepped, gifting Queensland 7 runs at the cost of no deliveries in the process along with a free hit. 9 off 1 legal delivery thus far!

Code:
0.2  Cummins to David, two runs, Took the first one quickly the second was no problem

pat-cummins-082631602-16x9_2.jpg


Cummins got it spot on once again to keep it under David's massive levers for just two off the free hit. 11 scored off 2 balls..

Code:
0.3  Cummins to David, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman

379697.6.jpg


This was simply a brilliant change of pace by Cummins deceiving David completely. A dot ball in these circumstances is just gold dust, and all the work put in by Cummins to improve his white ball game by developing his cutters over the past couple of years was beginning to show.

Code:
0.4  Cummins to David, SIX, ???!!! Its coming towards the commentary box Im leaving!!!

Tim-David-IPL-MI-RR-Sportzpics-640.jpg


He might have missed out of the previous ball, but Tim David made amends this time with another massive six - his second of the Super Over and fourth of the match overall. 17 scored off 4 balls..

Code:
0.5  Cummins to David, one run, That is very well run by Marcus Stoinis

378424.jpg


Cummins kept him down to just one this time, which meant Marcus Stoinis at the other end would get to face a delivery after all. 18 off 5 balls..

Code:
0.6  Cummins to Stoinis, OUT, Thats out by a couple of inches. Matthew Wade made an excellent effort in the field

CRICKET-IND-AUS-T20-69_1708137433705_1708137772453.jpg


He was run out whilst trying to sneak a bye after being deceived by another great Cummins' off-cutter/slower ball. Queensland finished with 18 runs off their Super Over, which in most cases is a pretty safe total for a singular over.

Adelaide Crows need 19 to win off 6 balls

Code:
0.1  Siraj to Buttler, three runs, Great work by Bancroft saved a certain boundary


dm_220422_INET_CRIC_timeout_m34_buttler_maruti_iqoo_global.jpg


Mohammed Siraj got it spot on off the first ball, not allowing Buttler to get underneath the ball properly in his usual manner. But such was the latter's range of scoring that he still very nearly got it away for four, eventually reduced to three courtesy of a brilliant diving save from Cam Bancroft. 16 needed off 5 balls..

Code:
0.2  Siraj to Markram, two runs, Took the first one quickly the second was no problem

368843.jpg


Just two this time. Siraj bowled a well disguised slower ball which prevented Aiden Markram from getting any real power onto his shot. 14 off 4 balls now..

Code:
0.3  Siraj to Markram, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by Siraj. Markram didnt have a clue

         Aiden Markram           2 (2b)
         b. Siraj

382566.jpg


GOTTIM!!! An absolute peach by Siraj accounted for the best batter of the match and more importantly it was a dot ball, which makes Adelaide's equation all the more difficult now with 14 needed off just 3 balls. Out walked Travis Head, who was dismissed quite cheaply earlier in the match..

Code:
0.4  Siraj to Head, no ball, FOUR, Mohammed Siraj cant belive it

news-1712859307075


But you can never count him out. Mohammed Siraj erred this time by going down the legside and overstepping at the very same time, giving away 5 runs at the cost of zero deliveries and a free hit to boot! Adelaide are back in it now with 9 needed off 3..

Code:
0.4  Siraj to Head, SIX, Display of Raw power and brutality by Travis Head

378397.6.jpg


A six off the free hit!! That no-ball proved extremely costly for Siraj and Queensland for they had given away 11 runs in just 1 legal delivery, basically handing Adelaide the match on a platter with just 3 required now off 2 balls.

Code:
0.5  Siraj to Head, one run, That is very well run by Jos Buttler

379101.jpg


With the match quickly slipping through his fingers, Siraj finally nailed the yorker to restrict Travis Head to just 1, leaving Adelaide with 2 to win off the final delivery..

Here we go, last ball of the match with a place in the final at stake, Siraj steaming in to bowl to Jos Buttler and..

Jos Buttler finished things off with a boundary!! The greatest white ball player of his generation who has had little to do all tournament displayed nerves of steel to ramp a full toss by Siraj, who missed his yorker this time to send the ball all the way down to the fine leg boundary for four! What a finish!! Adelaide were nearly done and dusted at one stage when they lost Markram and needed 14 off the last 3 balls, but a couple of costly errors by Siraj and some ice cool batting by Buttler and Head booked them a place in the Season VIII final on the first try. Queensland will have another opportunity to qualify against the winner of the Eliminator, but will nevertheless rue this as a golden opportunity missed.

A very close match indeed but in the end the Adelaide Crows batsmen managed to overtake the total

WCF were given the perfect start at the top by Rohit Sharma and Rachin Ravindra, who took on Melbourne's pacy attack to post 125 for the first wicket at much better than a run-a-ball. Sharma yet again missed out on a hundred this season, falling for 91 to Jason Behrendorff after having set an ideal platform alongside Ravindra and Mitchell Marsh for his team to get past the 300-run mark. But owing to some brilliant death bowling by the likes of Mitchell Starc and Gerald Coetzee, WCF could manage only 48 off their final ten whilst losing five wickets to finish some 20 runs short of where they ideally should have been on 290.

Well, that was a rather anti-climactic finish when compared to the match we had previously with Melbourne's blues in knockouts coming back to haunt them yet again after a season where they played some good cricket. Not today though, with Josh Hazlewood delivering the kind of naggingly accurate top of off opening burst that would have done his idol Glenn McGrath proud - he claimed 3 for 20 from his 7.2 overs including the massive wicket of Glenn Maxwell up front for just 16. Moises Henriques kept the contest briefly alive alongside KL Rahul with an entertaining 91-run partnership for the 5th wicket, but Andrew Tye and Peter Hatzoglou picked off the middle and lower-orders one by one to finish with 5 wickets between themselves. WCF won by a massive 147-run margin to qualify for the second Qualifying Final, whilst Melbourne bowed out disappointingly yet again.

Tough luck, we gave our 100%, but it wasn't still not enough on the given day. Daniel Sams was doing Nassem Shah's job, but both were not effective on Q1, but still trusting on Nassem Shah's ability as his track record is so good so far in real world.

Explanation on pitch types

:bwl::down: Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
:left::right: Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
:ar::up: Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
:bat::left: Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
:bwl::up: Green - A lot of movement on offer early on, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.
:ar::left: Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way
:right::left: Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
:down::down: Poor - Uneven bounce and a huge amount of turn on offer for spinners. Expect a slow hard grind where most batsmen rarely score at above 3 an over.
