Royals vs Super Kings, 26th Match at Johannesburg, SA20, Jan 30 2025 - Match Result

Around the wicket, He was in position early to scoop it over the keeper's head and he gets the couple which gets the job done as well

Quicker on a shorter length and it tails away outside off, slashed away towards backward point for a run

Slightly short just outside off, makes room and laces a cut through backward point, two fielders working and not working well as the ball wins the race

Nice and straight on middle, squeezed out to point

Slip in place. Tossed up on middle, cramped for room, clears front leg and plonks it in the air (actually finds the top-edge) and it lands in the vacant peninsula at midwicket, excellent running, full-length dive saves Bairstow

Bit short and slanting in at middle, sliced out behind point and scurries through a run

Pace-off leg-cutter and thumped hard into the surface and keeps it very tight around off-stump, dances down the track and knocks it downtown but didn't find the requisite timing and has been taken at long-off

Two dots in a row. Quick snorter rising from awkward back of a length zone in the channel, can't force a pull. Review for a caught behind, Ngidi thinks he heard something. A waft and looks like there is clear gap between bat and ball but let's wait for the ultra-edge. No spikes and Ngidi is sweating profusely, did he need some rest?

Deceives him with the slower back of a length delivery in the corridor, wanted to club it into the leg side and was early through the attempted hoik

Just frame that shot! Good length on middle, stays deep and lifts it over his arm and into the heavens for a lovely six over long-on. Got front foot out of the way and lustily swung

Around the wicket, fuller and arcing in at middle, shanks it towards short midwicket, Ngidi cuts it off but can't prevent a single

Good comeback. Mean short delivery on middle, good bounce and carry, backs away to pull and gets beaten by the pace and fierce bounce

Slammed! Back of a length on middle, backs away from the line and swats it disdainfully past point for a four. He doesn't' want to take any risks and will try to finish it off quickly

Short delivery leaping alarmingly and going over the top of middle stump as he swivels to pull in vain

Pulls his length back and keeps it on middle, carts it away straight to the man stationed at deep square; didn't have that much pace and couldn't evade the fielder on this occasion but nevertheless he has put his team in the driver's seat with a majestic, enterprising, and thoroughly entertaining knock. Always a treat to watch when he gets going

Another full wide slower yorker, opened the face and nurdled it away to deep backward point for a run

Over the wicket, wide yorker and he manages to squeeze it up and over short third for a four. Gave too much room and it was a slower delivery so he had time to adjust, reach for it and then steer it in the gap. Pretty good shot. He is joining the party too

He has got ice in his veins! That went the distance, prances down the track to create his own length and deposits it over long-on; straight as an arrow

That's an absolute peach, deserved a wicket. Length and turned away a wee bit, almost kissing the leg-stump and surprised Faf du Plessis

Sashayed across his stumps a lot and still manages to drive it away to deep extra cover and then still has the energy to scamper back for a brace. Outstanding work from the elder statesman
