SportsTranscript
00:00First of all, off the first T20 International.
00:16As we often see with Aqeel Hussain, he opens the bowling
00:19for the West Indies Bulls in the power play phase of the
00:22innings.
00:23Good.
00:26There's the first wicket.
00:28Here's an impact ball of Matthew Ford. So skillful in
00:33swinging the ball and getting lateral movement. And he's done
00:37it once more. First wicket for the West Indies. That of
00:40Rickleton.
00:40Yeah, you talk about the young man being impressive. Ryan
00:44Rickleton, he won't be impressed with that shot. Because it was
00:47wide, it was worth an offer. But there's absolutely no stopping
00:51that young man.
00:53Ryan Rickleton goes for four, Sarefika five for one.
00:58Backed away.
01:00That's a nice looking stroke from the captain. Got a little
01:03bit of wit. And he's so powerful square of the wicket on the
01:06back foot.
01:10First sweep comes out.
01:12Executed quite well playing with the turn.
01:18Goes with a faster pace delivery. But Markram is ready
01:22for it.
01:24And he takes a maximum dandy over 11 runs from it after three
01:2824 one.
01:31Straight to the field in that middle position. So
01:36the pressure of being proactive with this field placing working
01:39in favor of Matthew Ford and the West Indies. Second wicket down
01:43and it's a biggie. That of the skipper.
01:47Push the second field into the leg side almost expecting him to
01:51hit the leg side. Aiden Markram just sits in the surface. Yeah,
01:55and that's an excellent catch. He's in business for a second
01:59time in this power play. Matthew Ford gets rid of the Sarefika
02:02captain goes for 14.
02:0423 for two now.
02:09And this will be a chance of first wicket for Joseph in this
02:13series in his very first delivery.
02:16Not the best of deliveries, but they'll take it. The West Indies
02:19have got three.
02:21It's becoming sort of a habit for Samara Joseph. First of all,
02:25in test match cricket, first of all in this series.
02:29Leading edge and traveling all the way to deep third.
02:33Absolutely no mistake from Akin Hussain. This has been a
02:37wondrous start for the West Indies. Another wicket goes
02:41Hendricks for four. 23 for three.
02:45He's so good. Tristan Stubbs slowly approaching one of the
02:49most innovative players in the world for shots like that.
02:55Was there a feather on it? They're celebrating and the
02:57fingers raised. Joseph again, golden arm.
03:03Remember, he took a wicket first ball of his first over. Again,
03:07similar lined delivery. This time, another feather through
03:13to Nicholas Puran. Wickets in abundance. Rassi Van Der Dusen
03:17goes for five. 33 for four.
03:24Really nicely timed. And that is his potential that he's shown
03:29at different stages of his short career so far.
03:35Straight to the fielder. And that familiarity Hussain gets
03:39Ferreira again.
03:42Ferreira trying to deliberately go over the fielder, over the
03:46infield, but not enough elevation. And the other left
03:50hand orthodox, Gunakesh Moti, makes absolutely no mistake.
03:56Ferreira goes for eight. 42 for five.
04:01Looking to see if he can get something moving and it does go
04:04out towards the bigger side and there is enough on it from
04:08Kruger. He still has a look at the bottom of the bat.
04:11That is a massive hit. That has cleared the 74 metre boundary by
04:16about 15 metres.
04:21What Chase is usually good at is bowling into the surface even
04:24against his negative matchup.
04:28That's good. Very good from Kruger because now he's creating
04:33some doubt in the mind of Ross and Chase as to what to do next.
04:40Pumped. Down to long on and on to the roof. That's a massive
04:45hit from Tristan Stubbs. They're turning it on. Stacey
04:49and King.
04:51Mentioned that partnership. It's only growing from here.
04:54Confidence from both players.
05:01That's in the gap. Precision from Kruger and they will find an
05:07early boundary in the over.
05:09Pumped in front of square. He was setting himself for a yet
05:13another slow delivery. And he was ready for it on this
05:16occasion. So
05:20edge and there will be another boundary which will mark the 50
05:25partnership between these two. 53 to be exact.
05:31In the gap.
05:32Doesn't stop it.
05:35Guda Kishmoti running around brings up the hundred for South
05:38Africa. So not a boundary less over from Chumar Joseph.
05:44Innovation from Tristan Stubbs. That's a shot we've seen from
05:49him very often executed to perfection on this occasion.
05:56And he strikes it.
05:57Yeah, you can hear it.
06:00Yeah, you can do absolutely no wrong. Matthew Ford into the
06:03attack.
06:04He's kept the needed wickets. And he has got the big man.
06:11It's the dangerous Patrick Kruger. He goes for 44.
06:15And he's got the big man.
06:19And he's got the big man.
06:20And he's got the big man.
06:25It's the dangerous Patrick Kruger. He goes for 44.
06:28Well played innings.
06:31He's got his team back into this context. South Africa 11346.
06:38Just a high class shot from Tristan Stubbs.
06:43He soaked up some pressure while Kruger was going at the other
06:47end. It's his chance now to accelerate.
06:51That's hit the bat and hit the gap quite nicely. Back to back
06:55fours.
07:02Missed field. And that's where Stubbs was aiming to give
07:06himself room to hit it through extra cover or over. That's not
07:11special feeling should have been stopped.
07:16He's just such a good player.
07:18He's a wonderful player in the making. His second T20
07:23international half century.
07:28Wow, how is that for a cricket shot? Almost baseball style
07:32bullied this down the ground.
07:35This time round, it is beyond for Jane.
07:42Six.
07:43Six.
07:47And 17 off the over.
07:50Tristan Stubbs 59-149 for six.
07:59Oh, no. And that's sneaked over the boundary Akeel Hussain and
08:02that went to his strong hand. And another no ball. My
08:06goodness.
08:10Wow.
08:13That's for it ricocheted off Romario Sheppard and still
08:19enough power on it to get for four.
08:26Always a risk with the short fine leg in play. This is some
08:30exhibition of batting from Tristan Stubbs 70 now from 40.
08:37Wow.
08:40That is some muscle.
08:43That has cleared that 74 meter boundary cleared the playing
08:48surface.
08:50And to think that Stubbs was 24 from 22.
08:56Yeah, if you're an orange army back home, it's a 20. We've seen
08:59him done this so often for the Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
09:06That'll be the end of him. But it has been a very impactful
09:10innings.
09:12And Kato from Romario Sheppard does the work but what an
09:17innings and exhibition of batsmanship and power.
09:22Yeah, we have cried out for pace been taken off on the surface.
09:28And the first time he's resolved to it. He's got the big wicket.
09:31Take a bow ladies and gentlemen, Tristan Stubbs 76 of just 42
09:36deliveries South Africa now 173 for seven.
09:41Youngest double time for South Africa.
09:47Yeah, there's been some turnaround.
09:51I ordered it was dominated with a new ball Rickleton fell falling
09:54for to Ford.
09:57Hendrix Markham as well falling in that power play. Many ways
10:00three down in the power play, you'll have your back against
10:03the wall. But then Tristan Stubbs got together with Patrick
10:06Kruger to form that partnership that really took the momentum
10:10away from this West Indies bowling lineup.
10:15Tristan Stubbs falling for 76 equally important that innings
10:20of Patrick Kruger 4433 32 deliveries.
10:24Just the modern T20 game there's a little bit of an absorption
10:28of pressure not much just a few deliveries and then guys just
10:30keep playing positively. So Ford was outstanding though. His name
10:34is up in lights with three for 27 wickets up front and a key
10:37wicket at the back end of Kruger. Shamar Joseph had a
10:43couple of wickets in his first two overs one for Akeel Hussain
10:46whose figures also look pretty good. And the Shepherd one for
10:5039 from three. West Indies need 175 at a required rate of just
10:58under nine and over when their turn comes about to try to win.
11:08This time plays the conventional one and it's a maximum into the
11:13smaller boundary as well.
11:18That is extremely good from Shea Hook. Top class.
11:26Looks very pleasing when he's on the front foot driving the ball
11:32full face of the bat.
11:33Very pleasing when he's on the front foot driving the ball full
11:36face of the bat. They'll often say when you see a stroke like
11:40this.
11:44Well controlled shot from Shea Hook understanding where
11:48backwards where was able to find the boundary West Indies growing
11:52in confidence 34 for none.
11:57It's well enough even into the big side of the ground. I don't
12:01think it came off from that indication. They are the
12:03absolute middle of the bat.
12:06But it's traveled for six.
12:09Short length delivery and into the leg side.
12:17Good positioning from Artanez 74 meter six.
12:23Nice.
12:25He got the width and the deep third had actually gone wider as
12:30opposed to being an orthodox deep third position. Smart from
12:34Alec Artanez.
12:38Very good from Alec Artanez again.
12:43The 50 comes up for the West Indies. They are enjoying this
12:47little phase.
12:49Now this is incredible ball striking for Artanez. He isn't
12:53trying to force the issue too much just sitting back and
12:58dispatching these deliveries.
13:03And Artanez sweeps himself to another boundary.
13:10Yes, and it's proving expensive here as well. Nice lovely ball
13:14striking from Shea Hook.
13:20Again, just knowing where those fielders are placed.
13:25It goes high goes hard.
13:28Goose for maximum.
13:36Oh, a little blooper that should have been stopped.
13:45That looks as though it has distance on it. This has been a
13:47magnificent power play. 75 without loss.
13:52Brilliant. Once again, from Shea Hook, didn't even have a look
13:56to see where that ball was going because the connection was on
14:00point.
14:0589 meter six.
14:09Yep, not a strong down that area. You see that's good. Good
14:13length and opening partnership is finally broken by O'Neill
14:18We spoke earlier about his scoring areas and this wasn't
14:23one of them hitting down the track. Didn't quite get the
14:26elevation he wanted.
14:30And an easy catch for Aidan Markram.
14:33West Indies lose their first.
14:35Alec Artanez goes for a very well played 40. It's 84 for one.
14:42Over long off. And that is the sheer power of Aidan Markram.
14:47That is the sheer power of Nicholas Furan and he doesn't
14:50miss out on his matchup.
14:56And that is glorious. Middle up, easy pickings for Nicholas
14:59Furan.
15:02It's a slow ball. He's picked it early.
15:06He's had a beautiful swing of the blade once more.
15:12Attempted paced off. He has crunched that. Back to back sixes
15:16pressure on.
15:21This is majestic T20 batting from the best in the world.
15:26Three sixes in the over.
15:30We know he possesses the power hitting ability.
15:34That's the case and that's in the slot.
15:37And Nicholas Furan said I'll have some of you Nandre Berger
15:40the quicker you come, the quicker you'll go.
15:46Goes again.
15:48Four sixes. Nicholas Furan, world class.
15:53134.
15:55You can see Nandre Berger trying to go for the Yorker.
15:58Misses his length and that is something you can't afford to do
16:01against a player of the class
16:05of Nicholas Furan.
16:09On target he is. Has that not slipped down the leg side?
16:11Gregory Brathwaite says no. He's happy.
16:14But the review has happened straight away.
16:21Here comes ball tracking. Original decision out.
16:23Pitching in line. Impact in line. Wickets umpires call.
16:27I'm ready to go back on field to Greg.
16:29Greg, you can stay with your out decision.
16:31You're on screen signal now.
16:33Decision upheld by the umpire.
16:37That would mean the end of Shea Hope.
16:40Having just registered a half century, he has to make his way
16:43back to the pavilion. Weston is now 138 for two.
16:50Runs. Continuing with the shorter length,
16:53is Mbaka, but straying a little bit leg side.
17:00Onto it so quickly, he picks up the length early
17:03and it sails over the boundary row.
17:08Wonderful batting from Nicholas Furan, takes him to a half century.
17:12Six, sixes in the innings.
17:17It was very, very full.
17:18Can't quite get under it, but he can place it well enough.
17:25But he generates so much power with those quick hands.
17:30That has cracked off the bat.
17:35He's got a wicket.
17:38First international wicket for Queen Mbaka,
17:41and he's ice cool.
17:45Yeah, absolutely brilliant for the young man.
17:48He's not giving up the fight.
17:50He's hung in there, and that is what it means to the young man.
17:53He's on the board with Mbaka.
17:57He gets rid of the captain, Powell goes for seven.
18:00The West Indies 172 for three.
18:04And that should be the winning touch.
18:07Hope the bats of Ruston Chase,
18:09but Nicholas Furan will take many or much of the plaudits.
18:14But don't forget how Matthew Ford and company set this up
18:18with the ball after a wonderful recovery by that guy Stubbs.
18:22He on 14.
18:25And Kruger by the West Indies achieved
18:30their highest successful run chase in the Caribbean for seven years.
18:34Their second highest in the Caribbean.
18:36Overall, a win here by seven wickets
18:39in Taruba in South Trinidad of the Brown Larratt Cricket Academy.
