00:00Here we go, first ball. Match number 18.
00:07Edged. An immediate success. A little bit of a way swing.
00:14And what great support in the outfield.
00:18Finnalen completing the catch. Sonil Gavaskar, what a start.
00:22The mindset is to put back to ball. And that's what he did.
00:26But what a sharp catch there at slip.
00:32Big shot, big shot. And the finger goes up.
00:36If you pitch it right around the off stump, maybe just coming in the air.
00:40Just coming in ever so slightly.
00:45Again through that wide, mid-on region.
00:51Short. You're not going to rush him, I can tell you.
00:58That's beautiful.
01:04Oopsie.
01:11Oh, wow.
01:16There he goes again. Didn't quite get it that time.
01:20But sufficiently to get past a diving Corey Anderson.
01:26Oh, they needed that. Could he have got that two hands?
01:31I reckon he just felt he wasn't getting there.
01:34And decided early on that he needed to dive.
01:40Short.
01:43Chances also of a wicket are high in this phase.
01:47But not when you're striking him like that.
01:49Tossed it up, pitched it up. He needs no second invitation.
01:53Quinton de Kock. Step, bang, out of there.
01:59That's the power play. It's always got to be five, six runs at least and over inside that power play.
02:11What a shot. What a beautiful shot that is.
02:18Short. The way it goes for six more.
02:27Wow. That's magnificent.
02:34It's a shot he plays well. Very innovative.
02:38That's the important thing when you play these scoop shots.
02:41Just enough pace to get it over that short 45.
02:46Down the track straight away.
02:48Last couple overs the intent has been quite aggressive from Jay Asuria.
02:54And it will be a 65th T2050 for Quinton de Kock.
02:58One of the most destructive players in the game.
03:01Tonight we've been treated to a Quinton de Kock special.
03:07Mid-offer. And Quinton de Kock says thanks.
03:14Huge. It's the bigger side of the ground as well.
03:18But Quinton de Kock, it doesn't matter for him.
03:20If he hit it in front it's great and be rushed. But he's just gone with it.
03:24Quinton de Kock helps Cummins over the boundary.
03:36Very well done. Or is it? No it's not.
03:39It was a good effort from Hassan Khan but in the end.
03:46It's gone straight up. This is a big chance.
03:50Captain Corey Anderson takes it.
03:52That's the wicket they need. That's the one they wanted.
03:58And again de Kock looking to go big.
04:01Hitting it on the toe.
04:05Two wickets in the over. Here come the unicorns.
04:11Going for the cross seam delivery.
04:14Skating the inside edge. Just dragging it onto that off stump.
04:21I wonder Murray. That could have been close.
04:26Kareem Aghor is a very good fielder but it was Sir Fane Rutherford.
04:32Bang down. Leg side.
04:39Pumped off the back foot. High, high, high.
04:44And not long. So a very good catch in the deep.
04:49What a wicket that is. You see how hard he's watching that ball.
04:53That's a good sharp catch.
04:56So he can pair back. Shot down the ground.
04:59Is it enough? No. He's ran around it.
05:02And it's a good catch in the end.
05:05Didn't quite get it off the sweet spot of the bat.
05:11And he's bowled. What a delivery.
05:15Played the line of the ball. It spun off the straight.
05:20That's an absolute beauty.
05:25Nice shot. He'll accept that gleefully.
05:33This is what happens if your yorker goes wrong.
05:36Bowled it a little too quick.
05:40Nice shot again at low full toss. Easy.
05:43Easy. Three back to back low full tosses.
05:50Nicely done.
05:52It'll take some stopping.
05:54No giving up for Hassan Khan.
05:57No hurry. He'll be OK to get back.
06:03Scythed away.
06:06He managed to get it up to 152 to the yorkers.
06:14Four. Not convincing, but a nice way to start.
06:21Always looking to challenge. Talking big.
06:24I think this is probably big enough.
06:26Didn't think he got it off the middle of the bat.
06:28His bottom hand just came off.
06:30But it flew all the way for six.
06:35Slap for six. Rickleton wouldn't like this one.
06:38But there's a lot of quality and a lot of enjoyment from
06:41obviously all the local players, but from overseas players as well.
06:44Standard of cricket's been pretty good too.
06:49Again.
06:51Even further.
06:54An NTT data massive six.
07:00Catch it. Falls in the gap.
07:02That's another boundary.
07:09That's banged away again.
07:13Short boundary.
07:15Just flicked over there once again.
07:17It's two in a row.
07:22Yeah, unlucky as the bowler.
07:26Because that's more the line he should be bowling.
07:31That'll be four. A full toss.
07:34It's pounced upon by Finn Allen.
07:39You don't want to be that side.
07:41That's easy pickings.
07:45Struck fiercely.
07:48Back down the ground. Four more.
07:53Oh, yes.
07:55Magnificent.
07:59Sailing into the night sky.
08:02And bringing up a half century.
08:04Very fast. 21 balls.
08:07Finn Allen.
08:09Destructive.
08:14That's through as well.
08:19I'll tell you what, Paul, in T20 cricket you always talk about
08:21the innovation and the different shots that guys play.
08:23That is an absolute beauty of a cricket shot.
08:26On the up.
08:27Any test battle will be part of that one.
08:32Wow, how hard that's hit.
08:34Oh, dear.
08:36A misfield.
08:37He had it, Rickleton.
08:40Shouts of catch.
08:41It should be taken.
08:42It is.
08:43Finally the breakthrough.
08:47Well, well.
08:49It's Finn Allen night.
08:51The swing of the bat, as we mentioned.
08:53You can see just a flick.
08:59Gone at it again.
09:01Fielder can only watch as it sails over.
09:04He's done him in the flats.
09:06Finn Allen, we know how he's going to play.
09:08But he's had to reach for that.
09:09Hitting it in the toe.
09:14Somebody catch it.
09:18Well done, Ryan Rickleton.
09:21Had to judge it to perfection.
09:23Wasn't sure how close he was to the boundary.
09:31Chance.
09:33Klaassen usually has the safest pair of hands, but it was struck firmly.
09:38A very good pair of hands, but he missed out this time.
09:41Hard.
09:45That's been powered away.
09:51Capitalizes on the field.
09:55Sanjay Krishnamoorthy, that will do his confidence a world of good.
10:02Very clever.
10:03Very clever from Josh Inglis.
10:08Catch him.
10:10And that he does.
10:12One-hander from Jasuriya in that cover region.
10:15Timed his jump to perfection.
10:17A little bit of extra bounce.
10:19High on the bat.
10:20But look at this.
10:21On the tippy-toes.
10:23Just in the tip of the hand.
10:25That's a beautiful grab.
10:29Oh, that's glorious.
10:31That is a beautiful cricket stroke.
10:34Didn't try to overhit it.
10:36Just caressed it for six runs.
10:42Went straight up.
10:44And he gets six.
10:52He's so powerful.
10:56Oh, that's gone right up into the night sky.
10:59Nobody wanted it.
11:01In the end, Gannon says, I'll do it myself.
11:06Oh, hello.
11:08And goodbye.
11:10Just like that.
11:15Gone for it.
11:16Has he got enough?
11:17Has he got enough?
11:18You betcha.
11:20The Unicorns.
11:22Very happy with their victory here.
11:25As it guarantees them a top-two finish
11:28in this Cognizant MLC group stage.
