- BATSMENRB4s6sSR17.2 Atal bites the dust this time! Pace on fuller length ball on the off stump line, attempts to loft it over the infield, loses his shape as the bat face rotates, chips the ball to the right of Raza at mid-off 153/50.5 That looks plumb and given! Tossed up a fuller length ball with a hint of turn on middle-off, plays the reverse and fails to connect, massive appeal and the umpire is convinced. Jahangir has a quick chat with Atal and opts to walk back towards the dug-out. 3/15.6 Taskin has the last laugh! Bowls a searing back of a length ball on the stumps, nips back in sharply and Cox backs away to play the square cut, cramped for space and only managed to tickle off the glove and a regulation catch for Rew behind the stumps. Taskin is pumped up; Cox shakes his head as he walks back. 50/29.3 Chips it in the air to short fine leg! Tossed up a fuller length ball on the stumps, gets down on one knee and plays the paddle sweep, went through the shot early and top edges to Pathirana at short fine leg 83/312.6 And Pathirana gets the better of Powell this time! Length ball on the sixth stump line and Powell attempts to play it through the covers half-heartedly, splicing the ball off the outside part of the bat to the backward point fielder for a straightforward catch at the edge of the circle. 111/419.1 Taskin gets his third scalp! Hard length ball on the stumps, Shanaka never looked comfortable at the crease out there, plays the length ball away from the body and mishitting to mid-off. Raza tracks back a few steps and completes the catch. 168/6Extras9 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL180/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Shayan Jahangir, 0.5 ov), 2-50 (Jordan Cox, 5.6 ov), 3-83 (Leus du Plooy, 9.3 ov), 4-111 (Rovman Powell, 12.6 ov), 5-153 (Sediqullah Atal, 17.2 ov), 6-168 (Dasun Shanaka, 19.1 ov)
