Touch short and angles in at middle, pinned in front as he was looking to ramp it away but it was too quick for him. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting leg stump and that's a wrap
Amazon vs Patriots, 21st Match at Providence, CPL, Sep 20 2024 - Match Result
Shimron Hetmyer, Player of the Match: (on his performance) Brave I guess. The only thing going through my mind was just stay positive. I'm just enjoying my cricket a lot more now. The smile is coming back a lot more now. Words can't explain how great it is to play at home, knowing you have the support of everyone and it's just amazing! (On Shamar Joseph) I think it was only a matter of time for him to start picking wickets. He is an exceptional bowler; we have already seen it in his short career so far. He is really exciting and all he has to do is just keep doing what he is doing and sky is the limit for him. I think it was just us being brave really, in the batting, in the bowling and in field; just forget about the past performance and go out and do our best, play exciting and brave cricket
Patriots had a great chance to get their second win and it seemed under control while Lewis was at the crease but they left too many runs in the last 10 overs and Rilee Rossouw's run-out in the 15th over quickly changed the complexion of the game. Shamar Joseph injected a surge of energy with a hostile spell of bowling, finishing with 3/9 in 2.3 overs. It's a sorry-looking scorecard for Patriots, as Lewis received little support, with only three players reaching double figures. They seemed to lack the belief to chase down the total and pressure got better of them, but credit goes to Imran Tahir for his smart captaincy; he made effective changes and introduced spin from both ends early on. Moeen Ali was almost unplayable today, playing a massive role in making the equation tough for Patriots. Gudakesh Motie held up his end of the bargain, bowling two tight overs while Imran Tahir did a reasonable job on his comeback after struggling in his first spell. Earlier, Hetmyer played in an uninhibited manner, holding the innings together with a refreshing 63-run knock, decorated with some beautiful shots. Later, Romario Shepherd put the cherry on top with a 34-run cameo, hitting crucial runs off John in the last over, which gave Warriors a fighting total
Thank you for your company. For now, it's goodbye from me, Rvel Zahid, and rest of the crew at ESPNcricinfo
Goes fuller on middle and off, bets behind the line and muscles it downtown beating the fielder's dive
Over the wicket, short of a length, whistling away outside off in the hot zone, comes down the track and throws the kitchen sink, no connection
Goes fuller and it dips just outside off, opens the face and defends it solidly to short cover
Tossed up and spins away from off, punched back to Tahir and they're both having a laugh, played a lot together
Wicket to wicket and calmly guided to long-on for a run
Leggie bowling to another leggie and both have represented South Africa. Tahir bowls a googly on middle, kissed the pads and trickled to square leg
What an incredible take at long-on! Cries of catch it and Paul backtracks to take a fabulous catch, that is the best catch tonight. Tossed up with plenty of flight and he had to go for the big shot, plenty of height but not he distance, excellent work from Paul!
Dropped short on middle, stays deep and pummels it past fielder at deep midwicket for a four; boundary after four overs, excellent pick-up and use of the depth of crease
Steaming in and bowls another zinger on a shortish length that roars back as he tries to boom it over midwicket but ends up getting an inside edge, man at fine leg cuts it off
Shaaaamaaar! Banged in short, that's a well-directed lifter and he gets in a tangle, trying to hook it and ending up feathering it to the keeper! Shamar Jospeh is over the moon, punches the air in ecstasy, he has changed the complexion of this game with his energy, body language and most importantly blazing pace bowling
Dots piling up. Back of a length, attacking off-stump line, chopped but straight to backward point
Over the wicket, bowls a corker on shorter length that nibbles away and ghost past the groping outside edge, how quickly the tables have turned?
Short and cutting into him, he stays still deep in his crease and tries to manufacture a difficult stroke, lifting it in the air and not getting the requisite power, elevation and distance, easily snaffled by Paul at long-on region as Patriots stare into the abyss. They had the game in their pocket but it's slipping away quickly from them after the run-out and couple of soft dismissals. Elation for defending champions who have made a fantastic recovery
Around the wicket, short and zipping in from outside off, blocked off the front foot to cover
Tension was palpable and it results in a big wicket! Lewis has to go on 49! Fraction short at an innocuous pace and floating outside off, he fiercely cuts it and finds Tahir at short third position and they'll jump in celebration. They know the value of this wicket. Massive moment in the game! The easiest of the catches and Lewis admonishes himself after playing that loose shot
Good length and close to the guideline on off, leans out and pats it to deep point for a run
Slowish and dancing away from the marker on off, got to reload
Fuller and outside off, played an elegant drive but straight to cover fielder inside the 30-yard circle
Touch short and curving in the corridor, square driven to sweeper cover
