- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.3 In the airrr.. And taken! Hard length ball outside the off stump, Bennett tries to clear the in-field with another slog shot, missed the length, miscued the swing of the bat and sends it high in the air to long off area, Tector runs back from mid-off and chases the ball, completing the catch while going backwards in the sun. 9/12.5 Marumani departs! Hard line and length ball width on offer outside off, Marumani managed to hit this one after a few wild swing of the bat, as he dances down the track and tries to reach for it, strikes it with the bottom part of the bat and finds the mid-off fielder. Soft dismissal. 11/31.4 Young strikes again, back-to-back wickets! Raza goes for a golden duck! Back of a length ball with extra bounce off the pitch outside off, shuffles across and tried to pull it away over the on-side in-field, failed to connect with enough power, did not get any elevation off the top edge of the bat, a straightforward catch for the short fine leg fielder at the edge of the circle! 9/26.2 Burl has to go back after a brilliant cameo! Short pitched ball, moves forward and tried to pull it away over long on, did not get enough power or elevation to clear the ropes, Tector comes running forward and takes a brilliant catch! 52/47.5 Back of the hand delivery does the trick! Slower through the air wide outside off, Munyonga shuffles across and tries to whack it over the long on fences, miscued the shot with the toe end of the bat and skies it high to long on, and into the safe hands of Harry Tector! 65/5Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL77/5 (9 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Brian Bennett, 1.3 ov), 2-9 (Sikandar Raza, 1.4 ov), 3-11 (Tadiwanashe Marumani, 2.5 ov), 4-52 (Ryan Burl, 6.2 ov), 5-65 (Tony Munyonga, 7.5 ov)
