I am going to write to PCL team that WC should be banned from keeping or fielding. His size is too big for any opponent batsmen to hit runs past him. 
Oh, I belong to BB team. For a moment I thought this is IW thread

4.3 Vince van der Bijl to Shalin Hitter, Slog-sweep time! He completely misses it though, and is rapped on the pads. The bowler is appealing...and yup, he's got to go! Tough luck kid, maybe you'll get it next time!

The final scorecard for second innings was :
Score: 151
Wickets : 7
Overs : 20.0
And VV have done it! They go one up in the semi finals, and are one step closer to defying the odds and lifting the PCPL championship! As for Beijing, well, they'll be ruing a horrific top order collapse where they lost 6 wickets for 17 runs in the space of 16 deliveries, five to der Bijl, including 3 in 4 balls. Dev picked up the sixth one as Beijing were reduced to 44/6 within the powerplay.
However, they didn't just role over and die, as Manee and Bracewell went on. Manee flashed his blade and stole quick singles while Bracewell used his experience to milk the field and occasionally find the fence as VV's intensity faded. Out of nowhere, Bracewell struck 3 consecutive fours off Treva, and Manee two in two off Abhas in the next over, taking the equation to 28 needed off 4 overs and giving Beijing a glimmer of hope. But it wasn't to be as Massie and WC gave nothing away, and 21 needed off 2 was too large a task in the end for Beijing. Manee got his fifty off the last ball as VV got home by 9 runs!

Brilliant win. It was close but a win's a win. We have one foot in the final, let's not screw it up.
