00:30It's fantastic Friday here at the WPL 2024 time for the second semi-final
00:36The toss happened a while ago
00:38Australian champions won the toss elected to bowl first as you would expect them to do
00:43Looking at that Indian champions playing 11 good Kirit Singh is back. He replaces Naman Ojha
00:50That's very important for the Indian champs a top order to fire a lot of talent there a lot of experience and quality
00:57Apart from Yusuf not many of them have really fired guys
01:01I mean everyone's gonna be looking at Yuvraj Singh the captain the ever so elegant Yuvraj Singh
01:07He was out here a couple of hours ago
01:10Getting in getting a knock the Australian champions
01:14Unchanged playing 11 obviously to have the option of an impact substitute of the second innings or for that matter first things if they do require
01:21Brightly they've looked like the team to beat along with me. I've got Vakha Yonis. Good evening, Vakha
01:29Good evening the team to beat they are in fantastic form up from the top three
01:34They're in in a kind of form that you love to have as a captain and then down come Christian then pain
01:43Cutting is being cutting loose
01:45Lachlan and the bowling. I mean they've been fantastic. They're getting the rhythm, right?
01:49The bowling has been superb. They're swinging the ball up front. So they're a very very dangerous side
02:02Three two one, here we go second semifinals
02:07It's gonna be Bradley bowling with the win. He's change ends as as compared to the last game the slip in place for him
02:16Gets off the mark very first delivery with that single
02:20Oh
02:23Brilliantly played
02:24No one in the deep on the onside and gets punished for that bread six of the over the outlast India
02:34Well, that's well played
02:37Finds the gap nobody in the deep behind square on the offside
02:45Outside edge gets lucky there I do
02:50Positive intent shown and as they say fortune favors the brave
02:57The high on the back got a feeler in the deep Oh
03:02Expecting a better effort than that
03:06There you go
03:08That's more like Robin again. I don't think you got it out of the middle. Well, that was enough to get another boundary
03:15Oh
03:18Goes downtown this time for the first is my trip maximum of this innings
03:28Yeah, I don't think he middled it still carried to the boundary new ball you get half of the bat it goes
03:45Hit the stumps brilliant delivery again the ball jagging back
03:49That's what he's so good at Peter said it nice and full allowed the ball to swing and seem
03:55Seem came down nicely ball nipping back a big gap between
03:59bat and pad
04:01Hitting the middle timber was pretty okay in the first few deliveries gone for 14 hours 32 for one
04:09Not surprised
04:11Tested very early with a back of the length can't see a bouncer but as well as Suresh Raina
04:17Swivel around it and head it over fine leg for a boundary
04:22Brilliant absolutely gorgeous another ease my trip maximum
04:30So comfortable on the front foot you move back a bit move across a little bit and then so smooth
04:38La Folla, but that's well again to play it as fine as it did
04:45Well, that's gone all the way that's gone way
04:49Outside the playing area for another ease my trip maximum
04:54Hit hard is just looking to just show the way to the ball use the pace of the delivery
05:01What's that? There you go
05:08That's up in the air and taken to end of the bat
05:13Then time it at all trying to make room for himself and Gallop Ferguson
05:20To play that shot and the last minute he decided to go over that mid-off fielder
05:26There was no energy on the ball and an easy catch there after mid-off
05:32Ferguson I beg your pardon Reiner gone for 556 for two
05:38Lovely really lovely shot the controlled aggression is what's required right now from the men in blue
05:51It's got that tool of the bad, but still has enough power
05:55That's the kind of form Robin was about him gets another ease my trip six
05:58Six
06:02Slow ball we saw that Christian get a wicked a couple of days ago with the little leg cutter
06:07I reckon for a moment there. He thought he had his mom, but the extension of the arms on the top
06:18Six again and gets to his 50 as well
06:22And it's coming quick time for the India champions by Robin Hood, but
06:26Fifty two of just twenty one delivery. He's got the momentum for the India champions going
06:33really well played for his off central Robin of what and
06:40Four more and in the gap
06:45And he finds the fluency you're watching gets it over deep squalic with that ease my trip six
06:54He's waiting for it when the deep squalic deep filing he was waiting for it very much needed from you guys the first ball
07:06Talk to the pitch now that can Finch get underneath it you bet he can what a catch
07:13That is a really good catch yeah, and a soft dismissal
07:17Oh, I would call it because it was there he could have really hit it a little bit flatter
07:21He went high that corner is a little bit bigger than the other parts of the ground Robin
07:28Ustava who batted superbly gone for 65 is hundred and three for three now
07:36Allies nicely played very very nicely played a great
07:40So on a great direction allowed the ball to come close
07:45Place it beautifully
07:48Nice shot
07:50Beautiful looking shot classical off drive
07:54the quality of matches the broadcasting and
07:57With whatever is happening behind as well right now
07:59I think it's been phenomenal and and the best is still yet to come
08:04And the quality of cricket and the level of cricket the way it's been administered the way it's been run
08:08There are lots of legends league happening and something happening behind us. I believe
08:12So I think we should keep speaking and sixes will keep coming good shot down the ground from you've read 14 from the first four
08:20Deliveries in the gap again. I thought he'd got it try to hit it all the way, but this is just down
08:27Bouncing 18 from these five deliveries Wacar bit of momentum
08:33Last delivery
08:36This is going I don't have to look don't have to look
08:41massive over
08:44And the way that this man is striking right now you've read sing 43 from 24
08:50Could we see it tomorrow Australia have been the form team?
08:56Much better much better use the pace ball came on the legs. It should go on the legs
09:05Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can say it I can say it as many time I want
09:10Nikki Chopra
09:12Mentioned that he'll get 50 which he has already got it. We might see a hundred
09:17That he will play well today because he was stroking that golf ball. So nicely
09:23330 meters he was hitting his big Chaminda
09:30Serious shot that that is a serious shot to bring up his 50
09:35Gone again
09:37Gone again, you've read saying you beauty. We've seen you do this throughout your career
09:43You've saved it for the semi-final
09:4650 partnership just 19 deliveries and the major share
09:52the overriding 43 of
09:55911 Wow
09:58Bald missed it
10:01full delivery from siddal
10:05It was looking so good you're right saying miss the half volley
10:10Actually, he tried to hit it too fine should have gone over mid-on
10:15What an inning 59 of 28 deliveries India loses your bride 157 for it
10:26Exactly what the India champion needed. Yes, Irfan you've hit that ball
10:30I just showed his back to the umpire straight away. Don't give my runs as a leg by
10:41Sweep a cover sweep a cover coming in the plane used to put on just checking
10:48With the square leg umpire was that delivery over shoulder height or not? Oh
10:53Hold on. Hold on. Hold on
10:56That might be a no ball
10:58And no ball called everybody watching the old feel about I think that's the right decision
11:07As the one the slow ball pick and
11:12Thing he touched the rope
11:14Yeah, I think that's a six
11:16I'm gonna stick my neck out and I think he stepped it on the rope at the end after taking the couch
11:21Yes, it's a six that is very lazy
11:25Very very lazy from Sean Marsh
11:30He can do that he can do that then this one is gone up and over Sean Marsh another he's my chipper six
11:41And the slot the younger brother says it's in the slot I'm going to go after that he's my chip six
11:49Take that
11:51Look at the timing the positioning
11:55Going over cover is not an easy shot to play one of the hardest shot in cricket
12:00Outstanding from Irfan
12:05Finds the middle of the bag once again use of the time is raining six years and Suresh Raina
12:13Thanks that catch
12:15back-to-back sixes again in the slot, but look at that from Irfan Pathan and
12:21Brilliantly taken he doesn't drop many does he Suresh Raina
12:28The height to maybe the swelling of eyes having a look at that might be a noble
12:32But it's also a six third one on the chart. It might be another noble another free hit
12:37We just have to yes, that is about waste, but that is three in a row and it's a noble. It's afraid
12:43Oh
12:46It's a top edge and it's gonna be one bounce boundary, it's all happening for India
12:56That's a little fool thought he likes it in that area and gives an opportunity for the spectators to take that catch
13:06Timed it time to really well and the effort goes in Wayne then cutting
13:14Fetch that
13:19He's my trip six another one eight between the brothers and
13:25most number of sixes hidden innings
13:32Deep square leg will not get to it. We'll get another boundary will use the baton
13:3815 from the three deliveries of Bradley's
13:41This over as well comes over the wicked up
13:46And we're gonna get the awesome yorker in
13:51Just how used to Patan has been able to read what Bradley wants to do another boundary
14:00Another one another one from Irfan a user and he's got his 50 in just 22 deliveries
14:08Four fours and a six already in this over
14:13What an innings by use of baton the younger brother applauding as well the partnership 89 from
14:2033
14:21There's just open the floodgates opening for the number of boundaries that the two brothers have hit between them
14:2851 not out of just 22 deliveries strike it at a 231
14:31Like
14:36Sid and goes big over long on gets the six to 52 for the Indian champion in Irfan Patan
14:44Also, get you in half century of just 18 delivery
14:49277 strikers second fastest 50 in the tournament and
14:53younger brother gets a kiss
14:56From the elevator just returning it just returning it. He got one in the last match
15:05It's a good comeback by Peter said you're changing the length and
15:10Irfan that's cleaned up by Peter said
15:17Stand deep in the crease, but it's a good delivery after getting dispatched for six by Peter still to make that sort of comeback
15:24But Irfan Patan has done it for the India champions getting 50 of 19 to 52 for five
15:32Can he make the most of the last three deliveries?
15:36Plain bold
15:37plain bold by Peter said
15:41Good delivery first up
15:43When there's a new batter you want to bowl on the stumps and look at the length as well. Just like pulling it back
15:49You're going across the line if you went straight
15:52Maybe he would have timed it just going for a big heave
15:57Out for a duck 252 for six Peter said on a hat-trick
16:04We'll be looking to take to use a baton
16:09And we'll get the second one as well, this is a great effort by team India 254 for six
16:16What a start for the India champions by Robin of about 65 of 35 then fluency
16:22The old winter Gerard Singh 59 from just 28 deliveries and the two brothers
16:27Yusuf and Irfan getting
16:2950s in their name and some big hitting done by you you use a baton as well as Irfan Patan
16:36Oh Bradley was expensive for over gone for 60 Peter said
16:40Gone for 60 Peter said
16:43Picked up four wickets, but was also expensive 57 when you get 254
16:49Then of course the economy rate of the bowlers will be always on the higher side as well
16:55Australia need 255 in their 20 hours to make it to the finals India defending 254
17:02Lovely start nice length nice line. We saw that with Pakistan bold. They put West Indies and under extreme pressure
17:16It was a bit of a hack from marsh, and we've not seen that in this competition
17:21Very seldom. Do you see so much dismissed like that? I just think it kept slightly low
17:27Sean marks a failure gone for to Australia lost one early three for one
17:34Yeah pulled away you just have to wait for it, and he's I think it's been frustrating for both of these
17:41batters and just bounces
17:43Just before the line a good boundary
17:48This one gets past
17:50extra cover to
17:52Decent shots to finish the over 10 from it 17 for one Australia
17:59Has he got enough of it I think he has hasn't timed it as well as he would have liked
18:03But it's still run away for a boundary
18:07Does this beat the man on the boundary it does
18:14This is really good, this is really good long on his way
18:19This is really good. This is really good long gone in place now for dunk
18:24India this has gone a long way up. This is going to be a good catch if he takes it. He does take it
18:32Got in a great position the impact player has made the impact
18:37And is the end of bend dunk? Oh my word. I went up a country mile
18:44Rahul Shukla
18:47Bend dunk just helping it up and trying to send it far. That is a cracking grab
18:53Bend dunk has got to go for 10 30 for two
18:58What a start what a start that is doesn't get all of it, but it's so quick this outfield it'll run away for a boundary
19:09That's in the gap and we'll take that boundary carl ferguson
19:14Oh
19:16Clean ball
19:19The head was nowhere close to watching the ball get onto that bat and the move works for yuvraj singh
19:28Maybe just held in the surface and like you say he lost all his shape aaron finch
19:35Head up try to hit this as far as he could because of the pressure of this run chase
19:42So for the first time australia lose more than one wicket in the power play they lose their third finch gone for 16
19:51And that's the form that he was in and continues from there opens his account with the ease my trip six
20:02Oh, but that's powerfully short three colors and another boundary there
20:07Oh
20:09Off the back foot off the back foot high and handsome
20:13ease my trip six
20:15Yeah, he realized the pace really quickly down christian and look he waits deep in his crease
20:21and baseball style shot
20:24Oh
20:34Not the best of deliveries from harbijan, he will not mind that straight to the captain he's not dropping that
20:42Dan christian gone for 18 australia champions in trouble 69 for four
20:49But he's another wicket another wicket
20:53Callum ferguson after batting for 18 deliveries just chips one back
20:58A couple of singles up and then this
21:03Soft dismissal can't say that for callum ferguson. He's got to go now
21:11Has he got enough yes, he's got plenty of that for an ease my trip maximum
21:17Yes, yes boy, but his stay doesn't last for long ben cutting on his way back
21:25It was short but not much intention from ben cutting he is back
21:32Oh, that's a long one that's a huge one right in the slot and for ease my trip maximum
21:41But that's right in the arc nicely picked a lot of bottom hand
21:47Oh another big big massive one the second ease my trip six of the over
21:59Well, it's going wow
22:02Exactly that's what it is. You want to wow
22:06So we want to just make it easy, you know, we want to make everything so easy for for everybody
22:11Beach sports beach travel be tourism, you know, the idea is to be ease and I think we've been trying to
22:19be successful
22:22Top edge over robin uttapa. Yeah 13 from that over one two two for six now
22:33And a bit of a gift from harbhajan you can just go and have fun
22:38Oh
22:40Because you don't take any pressure that's a good shot we'll go for four nice and straight but
22:46You put unnecessary pressure on yourself
22:49batting second
22:53Brilliant that is a cracking yorker
22:58the impact player
23:00rahul shukla
23:01takes out leg stump
23:04I enjoyed what I saw from shukla from the word go from a very first delivery from a very first over
23:11He was spot on good pace
23:14And and good awareness of the game. He knew that the bat is going to come after it the best delivery
23:20leg stump yorker
23:22Good to know gone for 13. It's 134 for seven
23:28Yeah, this should go for six this was timed nicely right underneath us
23:33ease my trip six
23:37I reckon there's a bit of
23:40Joking within the camp to say tim pain. You've got no power. Look at this. It's like he's got a double hundred in the ashes
23:49It's just a little unfortunate
23:51That uh, they didn't end that well and and also lost the game at the wrong time
23:57Oh
23:59Tim pain
24:01Oh my lord, what a beautiful shot
24:05At 20 to 9 on a friday night in northampton
24:08We didn't have too many games, but the ball has been flying all over the park
24:14There were what 18 six it hit in the first inning and the eighth
24:19Tim pain hitting that was second one from tim pain
24:23These guys got to get back to the hotel and get some rest come back again tomorrow afternoon

25:01Pakistan what a night we're going to have in store in birmingham tomorrow
25:07India have saved their best for this knockout game
25:13It was always going to be a difficult chase chasing
25:16255 to win
25:18Sean marsh and aaron finch who have had such wonderful starts
25:22Throughout this tournament both went early
25:25Ben dunc never got going callum ferguson
25:28threatened for 23
25:30But in the end it was tim pain and nathan coolton isle that gave the scoreboard a little bit of respectability
25:36168 for 7
25:40And bowling guard
25:42Shukla was superb with the new ball with the old ball picked out one wicket for 25 in his four
