4.5 to AGS Gous, nicked and gone! Back of a length on middle and leg. Gous tries to manufacture something through the off side but the ball skids on quicker than he expects. Gets the faintest of tickles and Cox snares a sharp chance behind the stumps. Both ADKR openers back in the shed!. 47/2
4045111.2565120
16.2 to MS Pepper, edged and taken! Soft, soft dismissal! Dug into the track outside off. Pepper looks at the width and throws his hands at it. It was perhaps a cutter and that was enough to flummox Pepper, who slashed at it and feathered it through to the keeper. Big wicket in the context of the game!. 142/7
402827.0080200
18.1 to JO Holder, goes a mile up and taken by Ibrahim Zadran! Hard length on middle and off. Holder looks to swipe it over cow corner but gets under it a little too much. Plenty of height not but enough distance and Ibrahim, settling under the high ball at deep mid wicket, makes no mistake!. 162/8
18.4 to LJ Evans, holes out to deep backward square leg! Slower ball into the track on off stump. Evans looks to help it behind square but the lack of pace does for him. Cannot clear Aayan at deep backward square leg and the Knight Riders are now nine down!. 165/9
4047111.7563300
3.5 to KR Mayers, leg stump goes for a toss, and Mills has his revenge! Slower ball on a length on middle and leg. Comes in with the angle slightly and Mayers, who is looking to smash this into next week, is done all ends up by the lack of pace. Swings too early and sees his leg stump flying out of the ground soon after. A sprightly cameo cut short by a moment of bowling brilliance!. 39/1
401644.00131000
10.5 to JM Clarke, knocks him over! Fizzed in on a back of a length on middle and leg. The ball skids off the surface and comes in with the arm. Clarke is a little late to react and plays all around it. The ball scrapes his back pad and then flattens leg stump. Aayan is pumped, and that is a vital breakthrough for the Giants!. 99/3
12.4 to A Sharafu, goes straight up, and Aayan has two! Gives it air and entices Sharafu to come down the track for the second ball running. Sharafu does not get to the pitch, though, which is down to the bowler deceiving him in the air. Swings at it wildly and slices it straight to Adair at long off!. 117/4
14.2 to AD Russell, high into the Dubai night sky and that is a worldie and a half on the fence! Oh my goodness - run that on repeat for the next hours and not one person will mind! Slower on a length on middle and leg. Russell has an enormous swipe across the line and skies it towards long on. Erasmus flings out his right mitt at long on and catches it clean. He then realises he is going over and flicks it over to Ibrahim, who has run around from deep mid wicket. Relay catch completed to perfection and Russell cannot believe what has just happened. Not sure many who saw this live would have been able to believe their eyes either. A gigantic point in the game, fashioned by a moment of pure magic in the field!. 129/5
14.5 to SP Narine, straight through him, and Aayan has four! Slower on a length just outside off and Narine continues swinging like a rusty gate. Does not account for the change in pace and the ball keeps a touch low too. Narine connects with fresh air, whereas the ball smashes into off stump. ADKR six down all of a sudden!. 131/6

0.6 to A Lyth, straight down Mayers' throat! Short, wide and there to be hit. Lyth throws the kitchen sink at it and flays it to deep backward point. Mayers nearly makes a meal of it but gets his legs together to ensure the ball does not spill through, having failed to catch it cleanly with his hands. Early success for the Knight Riders!. 3/1

3.4 to JM Vince, miscued, and Vince bites the dust! Ibrar roars in delight and then leaps into the air to celebrate! Banged in again but this time, the ball gets up much higher. Vince cannot control his pull and splices it straight up. Willey settles under it at mid on and does the rest. Ibrar is over the moon, and this is a huge moment in this contest!. 24/2
6.3 to JM Cox, straight through off, and Ibrar is off in his celebratory run again! Hard length, pitching just outside off and nipping back in sharply. Cox tries to hack it away but the ball comes onto him much quicker than he expects. All he manages is an inside edge and the ball then rattles into the top of off stump. This has been some spell by Ibrar!. 45/3
402526.25113010
14.1 to MG Erasmus, Holder piles further misery on the Giants! Full, wide and that is a plan coming together beautifully. Dares Erasmus to take on the longer boundary. He does so but in vain. Chips it straight to Pepper at sweeper cover and the Giants are now six down!. 96/6
18.5 to Aayan Afzal Khan, that will be that for Aayan! Cutter on a length outside off. Aayan has a huge swing at it but does not get the contact he desires. Shanks it straight to Evans and Holder has his second!. 131/7
402516.2572000
9.2 to Ibrahim Zadran, has he bowled'im? Looks like he has! Back of a length on off. This seems to be the one that goes away and Ibrahim seems to not pick it. Plays inside the line and the ball breezes past the outside edge. Clips the top of off stump and Narine is among the wickets as well!. 59/4
302327.6684000
13.5 to SO Hetmyer, goes straight up and Narine does the job! Full just outside off. Hetmyer looks to smash it into next week and cuts across it too much. Gets only height and Narine settles under it, pouching it safely in the end in the extra cover region. The Giants sink further into trouble!. 96/5
19.1 to MR Adair, Mark Adair falls off the first ball of the 20th! Length outside off. Adair was always going to have a go at it but slices across it a little too much. Mayers is stationed at deep backward point for exactly that sort of miscue and gobbles up the chance. Should have probably run the single, eh?!. 131/8
