Royals vs Patriots, 24th Match at Providence, CPL, Sep 21 2022 - Ball by Ball Commentary

the off stump is shattered, and that is it! Royals win again, and continue their march into the playoffs. Dananjaya went for a wild heave across the line to this good length ball on off, but missed. He was standing after backing away too, and was never in control

slower ball on a fullish length, and angling into leg. Hits his pad as he misses his swing of the bat, and they take a leg bye

yorker attempted, but it is a low full toss on middle. Dragged to long-on after making room

bowls a cutter on a yorker length just outside off. Cottrell swings but misses

appeal for run-out at the bowler's end! Again, it goes up to the third umpire. Ah, it is out! Bravo is short of the crease while trying to reach back. Very good match awareness and accuracy from Holder. The ball was on a yorker length on middle, as Cottrell jammed that back to Holder's left. The tall man took it on the bounce while reaching for it, and turned around to hit the stumps and find Bravo out of the crease

slower ball and a yorker outside off. Goes with a flat bat but is beaten

skips down and drills this low full toss on off to mid-off. A hurried run in the end

lands this yorker on leg, as Bravo jams his bat down

sliced to deep point! Walsh there seemed to have overran to his left, but the ball dropped and turned away to his right, as he dived after recovering but missed. Low full toss wide of off, and sliced by Bravo

another good catch there! This time it is Bishop. He has to keep his eyes on the ball for a long time, takes a few steps to his left and then tumbles to take it low near the rope. The ball was full and straight, as Jansen had no option but to go hard at that, bashing it across the line

again turns in and skids off a shortish length to end outside leg. Hits his front pad

a lap over short fine! Full and flat on middle, and he only lofted that with his eyes nearly off

charges down, but this ball is sliding down his pads. Flicked behind the wicket to fine leg

turning in from a short of a length, and ending on off. Cut away to deep point

good length ball on middle. Clipped to deep midwicket

the helicopter shot finds deep midwicket! That was hit hard and flat, as Greaves there came forward, with the ball coming on very quickly to him. Slower ball from Holder again, and right in the slot on off. Rashid saw the length and went whacking, but couldn't get the height and the distance

swatted over point and short third! Holder went short and wide of off, as Rashid rode the bounce, and ended up ramping it well over the fielders

pace off again. It was dying towards the batter, with the ball now being a low full toss on off. Pushed across the line to long-on from the inside half of the bat

released from the back of the hand, and it turns out to be a dipping full toss on off. Flung to long-off

slower ball, and on a yorker length on leg. Flicked to fine leg

that is a brilliant catch by Greaves, who ran to his left from deep midwicket, fell down, and just managed to maintain his balance on the cusp of the rope! For once he seemed to have overran it, but had it in control eventually. A slower ball from Holder in the slot outside off, as Carty went swinging - and even timed it well - only for the excellent effort
