Al-Amin to Seelaar, FOUR, haha, we are on folks. 16 off the over so far. Seelaar walks well across the stumps, his back leg nearly stomped on the wide line, picks a full ball and scoops it over short fine leg
18.2 -
Al-Amin to Bukhari, FOUR, now that will do. Bukhari won't even bother looking at the replays. Makes a bit of room to a short of length delivery on off, still gets cramped on the cut and runs it off a thick edge wide of the flying keeper. Just out of Rahim's reach
15.2 -
Shakib to Borren, FOUR, that's been scorched wide of long-on one-handed. Brilliant shot. Had to reach out for the slog, bent his knees a little while stretching and heaved it away along the carpet
14.2 -
Mortaza to Borren, byes, FOUR, jeez, that's took off. Banged in on a short of length trying to follow Borren who was backing away. Zooms off the pitch and Borren lets it go. The keeper couldn't get his mitts high enough to stop
14.0 -
Shakib to T Cooper, FOUR, full enough outside off, Cooper's eyes light up as he sees a drive through the covers. Blazes it along the carpet and finds the gap
13.3 -
Shakib to T Cooper, FOUR, oh well played! Much needed boundary. Wasn't all that short outside off, Cooper allows it to come on, plays it from under his eyeline and laces the cut through the backward point region
9.2 -
Shakib to Borren, leg byes, FOUR, how's that not out? Borren came down the pitch and had shuffled way too across trying to glance it fine. Was rapped on the pad and the keeper couldn't stop it either. Looked plumb
9.0 -
Nasir Hossain to Borren, FOUR, and another. Another one barreled down to third man with a reverse sweep. The ball was outside off this time and Borren had the room to turn around more. Placed it wide of backward point, to his right, and got a boundary
8.4 -
Nasir Hossain to Borren, FOUR, that was so cheeky that a backward point's half-stop proved lacking. Flatter on off, Borren crossed his bat in front of his pads and reverse swept it to third man
7.5 -
Mortaza to Ben Cooper, FOUR, this time he uses his feet to get close to the pitch and renders the bounce rather impotent. Punches this length ball through extra cover and there was no stopping it. Bulleted away
6.3 -
Mahmudullah to S Myburgh, FOUR, that was thumped. Had the width and Myburgh crashed it away through cover. Beats Arafat Sunny's one-handed dive and ran away
6.0 -
Nasir Hossain to Ben Cooper, FOUR, another good shot and the runs have started to sieve out. Flighted, Ben kneels and sweeps it over mid-wicket. Off the middle and it races away
5.4 -
Nasir Hossain to Ben Cooper, FOUR, that was tailored. Flatter on off, Ben had made room already. Just opened up and pierced the point-cover arc with a well-timed back foot punch. Eluded the diving duo at point
5.2 -
Nasir Hossain to S Myburgh, FOUR, enough dragged down and just enough down the leg-side for Myburgh to kneel and sweep it through deep backward square leg. Top shot!
4.4 -
Al-Amin to S Myburgh, FOUR, no timing and placement off late but this sees the ropes. The good, old French cut. Only superior to Mankading in derision, perhaps. Length and just outside off, not enough room to flash it square and an under-edge runs close to off-stump to scoot behind
3.3 -
A Sunny to S Myburgh, FOUR, you earn it sometimes. Flighted ball on leg-stump, ample room for Myburgh to swivel and sweep it uppishly. Broomed away over backward square leg, one bounce over the ropes
2.2 -
Taskin Ahmed to Barresi, FOUR, that's lazy. Plain lazy. Length ball, Barresi skipped down the track and opened the bat face to drive it uppishly. Wide of backward point and it runs away. Third man had done well to run across, gets on his knee to collect but lets it burst through. Al-Amin was the man
0.3 -
Taskin Ahmed to S Myburgh, FOUR, short and wide. Immaterial of the bounce, Myburgh throws his hands all flat-footed. Top-edge and it bounces over the slips and runs away
18.3 -
Al-Amin to Bukhari, SIX, kaboom! Netherlands have come roaring back through Bukhari. 10 off 2 balls and this was right off the screws. Takes a couple of steps down, Al-Amin dishes a perfect length ball in the slot and finds himself pumped over wide long-on
19.2 -
Taskin Ahmed to Bukhari, out Bukhari Run Out!! 1 run completed! Now Soumya is much more agile, swoops in on the ball, gathers, and fires a bullet throw at the striker's end. Bukhari was always struggling. But what about Taskin! How good has he been! Brilliant low full toss on leg, Bukhari can only hit it along the turf to long-on. If he keeps going this way, his team are home. Bukhari run out (Soumya Sarkar/Rahim) 14(5) [4s-1 6s-1]
18.1 -
Al-Amin to T Cooper, out Caught by A Sunny!! Excellent variation in pace. Saw Cooper shaping for the reverse-scoop, took all the pace off the ball and delivered it on a back of a length. Cooper has to manufacture all the power on his own. Tries to hoick it over the infield, gets it high on the bat and spoons it to short third man who runs to his right, dives and takes it nicely with both hands. T Cooper c A Sunny b Al-Amin 15(18) [4s-2]
16.4 -
Mortaza to van der Merwe, out Caught by Rahim!! This time he nicks it. Almost a similar delivery to the previous one, this one rises higher, van der Merwe slashes hard, never in control of the extra bounce and gets a faint tickle. van der Merwe c Rahim b Mortaza 1(3)
16.0 -
Shakib to Borren, out Caught by Nasir Hossain!! Nasir Hossain makes immediate amends at deep mid-wicket. Almost a similar catch, this time running to his right, gets to the ball and cushions it in front of the chest while sliding on his knees. For the gazillionth time, Borren had sliced the slog-sweep. Had to reach out for the ball well outside off, and could only lob it off the toe-end. Credit to Shakib here for tossing it wider. Borren c Nasir Hossain b Shakib 29(28) [4s-3]
11.2 -
Shakib to Ben Cooper, out Bowled!! With the required rate jumping, Cooper feels obliged to do something out of the ordinary. Premeditates a slog-sweep to a ball which lands very full. It was pushed through quicker as well from Shakib making his job even tougher. Sneaks under the swinging bat and takes middle stump. Ben Cooper b Shakib 20(15) [4s-3]
8.1 -
Nasir Hossain to S Myburgh, out Bowled!! You miss, I hit. The typical tailender theory that embarrassingly gobbles up Myburgh here. Quicker ball sliding in on middle, Myburgh knelt and slog-swept. Missed and it was hara-kiri behind. S Myburgh b Nasir Hossain 29(29) [4s-5]
4.3 -
Al-Amin to Barresi, out Caught by S Rahman!! He perishes trying to take on the larger half of the ground. Shortish delivery robbed of pace, Barresi pulled it alright but is deceived. Off the middle but doesn't get much power behind it. Deep square leg was in business straightaway and completed an easy catch. Barresi c S Rahman b Al-Amin 9(11) [4s-1]
15.4 -
Shakib to Borren, 2 runs, Nasir Hossain runs across from deep mid-wicket, gets to the ball and puts it down. After covering all the ground, it should have been taken. A mistimed slog-sweep from Borren fetches him a couple
8.0 -
Mortaza to Ben Cooper, no run, straight back at Mortaza but that was gunning for his head. Full ball drilled back, Mortaza did well to sway away and got a hand to it. The ball parried away towards mid-wicket but there was no run. Only cruel souls will call that a chance dropped
10.1 -
Mortaza to Borren, no run, tries to pick a back of a length delivery from off and work it through the on-side, closes the bat-face early and the leading edge pops in front of backward point. Borren charges down for a single which isn't there and is sent back. Would have been well short had there been a direct-hit
6.5 -
Mahmudullah to S Myburgh, no run, mayhem there. A near run out chance. Would have been out if it was a direct hit. Myburgh had plonked his front leg across looking to sweep, Mahmudullah followed him with a flatter delivery and he missed. The ball scooted to backward point as Ben Cooper was halfway down the pitch. turned around and hurried back, thanking his luck that it wasn't a direct hit
