SSS VS THY MATCH 19

Time for a gamble?

1 run, played towards mid on.

A stifled appeal for LBW but it looked to be going over leg!

Bangs it into the deck, on a hard length, just outside off, Ravi Jangid looks to cut it square on off but gets beaten on the inside edge.

Attacks the stumps, on a good length, Gurkeerat Singh Mann gets right behind the line and clips it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

FOUR! Delicately done! On a fuller length, outside off, Gurkeerat Singh Mann opens the bat face just enough and steers it to the left of short third for a boundary.

Angles it across on a good length, on middle and off, Ravi Jangid with soft hands stabs it to the off side for a single.

TWO WIDES. This is becoming like a leaking tap now. Hassan starts from over the wicket and hurls it on a length, sliding down leg, Gurkeerat Singh Mann tries to tickle it fine but misses to get any bat on it. The keeper Shreevats Goswami gets low to his left but fails to make a clean stop allowing the batters to steal a quick run.

Time for the first Strategic Break of the chase. Well, Gurkeerat and Jangid are going along nicely. Their stand reads 34 (31) and thanks to the blistering Powerplay the required run rate is roughly around a run-a-ball. There would have been a few worries when Toyam Hyderabad lost two wickets quickly but they look in firm control now, with their skipper seeming in good touch again. Southern Super Stars started well but have lacked control. As many as 14 runs have come off wides, with as many as 7 extra balls bowled. Jesal Karia has been the only bowler to exert some control and Hyderabad are smartly playing him out. Can Kedar Jadhav pull out a rabbit from his hat? Meanwhile, in Dubai, in the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup, South Africa have posted a handy 166/5 after 20 overs, against Scotland, who themselves are 3 down in the Powerplay, for just 30 in the 6th over. A win here could propel the Proteas Women to the top spot in the points table in Group B. Back to Srinagar, Jadhav goes back to seam and Hamid Hassan is back on. 2-0-28-1 so far.

Digs it short and on off, Ravi Jangid looks to slap it away with an angled bat but mistimes it straight back to the bowler. Toyam Hyderabad need 71 more runs off 66 balls.

This keeps straight, on a nagging length, around off, Gurkeerat Singh Mann punches it wide of cover and gets to the other end.

WIDE! Pitched right up, on middle and leg, turning down leg.

FOUR! Made that look very easy did Gurkeerat Singh Mann! Tossed up, on middle and leg, Gurkeerat brings his bottom hand into play and flicks it neatly over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Drags the length back and keeps it on off, Ravi Jangid eases it to covers and rotates the strike over.

Goes full this time, on middle and off, Gurkeerat Singh Mann drives it to mid on for one.

Pitching up, on off, Gurkeerat Singh Mann leans on and makes a block.

FOUR! 16 runs come off this over and Toyam Hyderabad need 79 more runs from 72 balls! Short and on middle, Ravi Jangid goes deep in the crease and pulls it off the inner half of the bat to the square leg fence for a boundary.
