Over 14.2

Simmonds to Delano Potgieter, out Caught by Eathan Bosch!! Taken at deep mid. That was a slower delivery

Delano Potgieter looked to slog it away and got it really high. That was hit straight to the man at deep mid. The fielder never panicked and took it easily. He tried to launch it over the fielder but failed to time it that well. The cameo had to be a prolonged one. But wasn't to be.

Daniel Sams to Tim David, out Caught by de Kock!! End of the party. Sams was the only one to appeal and has been given out. That was a thick edge as the batter tried to slash it. QDK took it with elan but I guess didn't appeal much. That should be the game and that should open the door for the first win for the Royals. Tim David was starting to give the Royals a scare but he has to go. The ball angled across and Tim David had to try a shot on the off-side. That is not his strongest area and he has fallen.

slower ball, well outside off and the batter drove it uppishly but couldn't control the shot and hit it down to the man at long-off. RVD was never going to drop that and half the side is back in the hut. The Kings in all sorts of trouble at the half way mark of this chase. Daniel Sams comes into the attack and strikes.

at the sticks, Seifert wanted to play it away on to the on-side but the ball didn't turn in and he missed the ball to be out bowled. The ball beat him on the outer-edge as he played all around it. Warrican strikes after an expensive first over. The Kings have lost their 4th wicket. The dangerous Seifert couldn't believe it but he had to go back. The Royals are on top.

Roston Chase went for the pull and failed to control it a little. He got more height on it than distance and the ball seemed like sailing over till it was intercepted by the man at deep backward square. Another good catch at the edge of the fence. The batter was hitting into the wind and with the spin but I guess he played the shot a little early and the ball didn't come off the meat of the bat.

Over 3.4

Chris Green to Roston Chase, no run

Over 3.1

Chris Green to Roston Chase, no run

angled in, Ackeem Auguste whipped the ball off the pads and the man behind square on the on-side managed to cling on to it with elan. He never looked like dropping it despite his proximity to the ropes. The shot was on as the ball angled in but the ball went flat and the man at the fence stationed himself to take it. Second wicket down in no time at all. Green had his arms stretched wide. He had a tough evening not too many days back but redemption tastes sweet.

Chris Green to Charles, out Caught by Brandon King!! Two men converge but one of them takes it. Charles backed away to launch it and gets a massive top-edge on the slog. The ball went high and towards the point region. One of the fielders was under the ball and the other one was in his vicinity also bending down to take it. But the men didn't collide and Kind was able to take it cleanly. Chris Green provides the early breakthrough.
