00:00Simply struck down the ground slightly over pitch from Adam Milne top of the
00:12order does look to play straight it's cricket in Australian for him in the
00:19hundred or edged and taken comfortably by Moeen Ali and it's Tim Salby with the
00:28breakthrough what a start perfect start at that good length touch wide sure
00:37lured in throws the kitchen sink at it
00:42well use of the feet and down the ground he didn't get all of it
00:47Nicholas Torren but just enough for it to go all the way literally just the
00:53other side of the sponge swing of the bat picks it up really high with an open
00:59face blade contact well over pitched and strained down the leg side which is
01:10always going to be easy pickings for Nicholas Poran over to the shorter side
01:18just a line which it's delivered allows him just to swivel throw everything at
01:25it doesn't necessarily have to get all of it
01:30so edged and taken another simple one through to the slipcord and this time
01:36Jamie Smith doing the work and this time Adam Milne taking the wicket swing of
01:42the bat again from Poran a good length from Milne just taking Poran a touch
01:47wider taking him away from the leg side getting a fine edge
01:56and off the mark and that will beat deep third nicely so Brooke he is up and
02:02running this summer Harry Brooke
02:08always finds middle of the bass somehow early in his innings
02:17Tim Southey has hit good areas and he has just picked up the wicket of Ben
02:25Stokes clean bold on with the swing beating the inside edge and clipping the
02:33top of off stump Sean Abbott comes into the attack well that's one way of getting
02:39things going in the next stage or the next phase of this game in that path
02:44then Harry Brooke goes and does this just leans on the ball picks the gap
02:49between mid-off and extra cover it races away edged and taken more trouble here
02:59for the northern superchargers as Harry Brooke their captain edges behind mainly
03:06at Adam hose Harry Brooke hadn't had a lot of strike to see him backing away
03:10slightly try and hit it over the offside might be what's needed he's gonna go for
03:19quick single direct hits maybe close maybe very very close maybe out Michael
03:26Goff is gonna go upstairs to Nigel Long thinking about how can I release the
03:30ball as quickly as I can we didn't care what position he was in just that back
03:36of the hand flip you see that a lot in indoor cricket as well on the move load
03:42out load out
03:53that's a nice shot that's one of the few times that the Birmingham Phoenix have
04:00over pitched and that is what the superchargers have been waiting for
04:04northern superchargers you have to be thinking anything for that'll be out
04:13simple catch six down they just cannot get going with superchargers the crowd
04:21as he does so that's good enough New Zealander to New Zealander an absolute
04:30cracking off cutter and a word it is here to send him on his way with Matt
04:34Potts on strike that is it that is a wonderful start from Pots it just about
04:42as good as we've seen actually all innings pots touch fuller beautiful off
04:49drive probably walk past selfie and set up what is a cannibal at the end of the
04:59innings and he's just picked up the eighth a drive that goes straight to
05:03mowing alley at extra cover and the misery continues for the northern
05:07superchargers and immediately carves one away behind square good start for Adil
05:16Rashid does our ideal Rashid just plays this on the angle
05:24loves accessing the offside added a bit of power to his game of late and again
05:34carved away again even further behind square Dean or so years this is exactly
05:42where I deal Rashid scores his runs
05:48the angle all hands and wrists Oh good catch really good catch Tim Southey at
06:00mid-offs had a good day with the ball and safe hands now at mid-off to end
06:04Adil Rashid's out of the hand yeah an absolute combination of things but he
06:11to bowl anymore because the end of the innings is done Bethel taking a good
06:17catch out in the deep a good low catch with the Sun in his eyes actually so he
06:22did well to cling on there performed all the way till the end catch looking into
06:29the Sun from Bethel makes it look very very easy
06:34taking 96 balls to bowl out well what a confident start that is from Ben Duckett
06:46probably the one area as well where we've identified all evening if it's
06:51four it's so much easier how much swing is on offer dealt with
07:00that's a lovely on drive from Duckett but he's going to be put under pressure
07:07here by a couple of well teammates in another team this shot is a sign of
07:15someone who's in very good form Ben Duckett just saying deep in his crease
07:20and picking up a ball which wasn't overly sure without loss of 12 pots
07:27desperately trying to make something happen but Duckett well he's intent on
07:32making short work of this chase he can just trust his hand through the ball
07:41opens the blade slightly as well contact up and over extra cover brilliant
07:53absolutely brilliant from Ben Duckett quick silver footwork to get outside
07:58the line of the ball and then helping it on its way for six his length back so
08:03that would have been a good option to get up and underneath it and use the
08:08extra pace into position early ball hits back
08:15really good shot that is a really good shot from Duckett there are some very
08:25eye-catching shots that we see in this format of the game he's making this
08:31wicked look like the m25 at the moment as Moeen Ali swings away with that
08:38languid swing at a bat and he sends it one bounce into the rope for four their
08:47crease probably recognizing that they can react to anything for but if they
08:52are the northern supercharge is going to try and hit that back of a length area
08:57maybe hanging back is not about he was trying to eye up a shoot a pull
09:09for more
09:13I just keep coming Matthew Potser despairing dive on the boundary finale
09:19hanging back and happy to just help the ball on its way really are making light
09:26work of this chase home side away he goes he's middle this one that is a
09:35fantastic shot from Moen Ali over the leg side he changed his bat earlier this
09:40is the first one he comes up for the Phoenix and that has just allowed Moen
09:46Ali to get even more and he goes again full toss helped away again six again
09:57Oh
10:09clever very very clever and highly skilled he really is a complete 360
10:15player Ben Ducat the last few balls from the supercharges but Ben Ducat has such
10:24ability that really is one of his great strengths well that's an unusual one
10:32he's looked to turn that leg side big bat thick edge and that's gone for four
10:37everything they're trying at the minute Birmingham is going for runs or
10:42boundaries brilliant shot the ball before and Ducat was just looking to
10:48tuck that into the leg side for one leading edge short third and there are
10:5567 balls left that'll be a few more that's just 11 needed now
11:04and Ducat strength the normal delivery hitting the top of the stumps and he
11:09plays it off the back foot with a cross back straight through mid on it does hit
11:14the ball in unusual places with an unusual time cannot qualify Ducat is
11:20scooping again Rhys Topley just been brought up from fine leg he's now got a
11:24run back and go and fetch it his consistency in playing this shot is
11:29quite remarkable play it off the full toss this is the shorter slower ball he
11:35steps way outside of stump and just helps it on his way
11:40like that what a spectacular way to finish this game for the home team the
11:48Birmingham Phoenix and what a man to do it as well their talismanic captain
11:53Moeen Ali fastest ever chase in the men's hundred
