Stumped!

[cnerd123]

And amongst the chaos, Michael Winton has stood firm. Brings up his half century off 49 balls with a boundary! Good over that for the hosts, 10 from it. 24 balls to go...

 

[StephenZA]

Amusing to me that Burgers only wicket was from a run out...

 

[cnerd123]

oh what an over that is for TMO. A piece of brilliance from Passmore runs out Simmons, after which Karunaratne cleans up Ludlow and Waters in consecutive balls! Kaiser not only survives the hattrick ball, but somehow puts it away for 4, bringing up the 130 for AXI!

2 overs left and 9 wickets down. Can Winton hog the strike and push his team up to around the 140 mark?

 

[StephenZA]

135 is chaseable... but gonna be tough against the AXI spinners...

 

[cnerd123]

Winton takes a single 3rd ball, exposing the number 11 to 140k+ bowling. Takes Passmore just two balls to blow Kaiser's pads off and end the innings.

135 to win for TMO! AXI might have just enough here TBH, their spin attack is impossible to score off on home turf...

Really rooting for AXI personally, don't want to have to lose to them again in the 3rd/4th play-off

 

[StephenZA]

Dammit did not want a first over wicket....

 

[cnerd123]

Kaiser nabs Levy to end the first over! We've got a game on our hands here...

 

[StephenZA]

Kock dropped by Chambers...

 

[StephenZA]

Thundayal has gone from a good touch to not being in great touch during the off season... hopefully he can work his way into a good innings.

... and out he goes!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Davidson 75 incoming

 

[cnerd123]

Really good powerplay for TMO despite the 2 wickets. 53 runs from it. Davidson and Kock looking dangerous

 

[cnerd123]

Asking rate under 6, I'm sensing an upset here (and a 4th place finish for ZCC fml)

 

[StephenZA]

Great little cameo from Davidson, hopefully done enough... he relinquished the armband to Kock for the semis and probably the finals...

 

[cnerd123]

Absolutely clinical. What a result!

 

[StephenZA]

Kock big man of the match performance... took on the captaincy, led from the front. Took two early wickets and opened the batting to see his team through.

 

[StephenZA]

Absolutely clinical. What a result!

Very pleased. First 5 matches of CWC5 4 losses.. only win against Shri... now 14 out of 15 wins. Only loss to FHK. 11 in a row now!

 

[StephenZA]

And proper fast bowling for the win!

 

[StephenZA]

@ataraxia tough game for you... probably deserved finalist based on tournament performance.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea commiserations ataraxia. Very unlucky. Such is the nature of KO cricket.

 

[StephenZA]

@cnerd123 @JOJOXI who am I up against in the finals?
