Outstanding ball. On a length, outside off, Singh punches it towards wide long off. Just a single. Fantastic comeback by Irfan after going for 7 after 1 legal ball.

A slower short ball, outside off, angling away, Pienaar swings it towards deep mid-wicket for a run. 4Â needed from 2 balls.

Dot ball! Finally gets his length right, fuller and outside off, stays low, Obus Pienaar looks to pull but is beaten by the lack of bounce.

Another slower ball, short in length, Anureet looks to repeat that dose but is a tad early. The ball takes the inside edge and dribbles towards mid-wicket. A single taken. 5Â needed from 4.

SIX! BANG! Is that the killer blow? Another slower ball, but short in length, Anureet Singh rocks back and pulls it powerfully over mid-wicket! Got to be the Tigers' game now - 6 needed from 5 balls.

WIDE! Slower ball, but wide outside off, angling away. Left alone. 12 needed from 6 balls now!
Right then. Final over. 12 to defend. 13 or more takes Manipal home. 11 or less takes Odisha home. 12 gives us a Super Over. And the captain, Irfan Pathan takes the onus on himself. And he is bowling his FIRST OVER! Seems to be some delay with the umpires and the groundstaff being involved. Not quite sure what it is, but whatever it was, seems to be sorted. Irfan only had Munaweera to go to, so has taken the gamble on himself. Fair call, rather than giving an offie the final over to right-handed batters.

Hattrick of twos! On middle and off, slower ball, Obus waits for the ball to arrive and helps it through mid-wicket.

Outside off, punched towards long off for a single.
Anureet Singh walks in at number 9, replacing Dan Christian.
OUT! CAUGHT! Is that the game? Odisha certainly believe so! A length ball, outside off, Dan Christian comes down the track and throws the kitchen sink at it. But he cannot find the elevation and finds Irfan Pathan at extra cover, who takes his second catch of the night! Christian is flabbergasted. He is on his haunches but gets up slowly. Departs for a fantastic 30 (29) and the partnership is broken on 49! Manipal Tigers are 87/7 and need another 18 from 10 balls.
