- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6 it's going wrong for the Irish here earlier on, flighted on off and he tries to hit that too hard and the catcher on the 15yards takes a comfortable catch around waist height 17/32.4 short ball on leg and he mistimes the pull and he top edged that to mid wicket an presents an easy catch 9/14.3 short of length and he cuts it but only succeeds in presenting a simple catch to Chibhabha at point 14/213.4 flighted outside off and beaten with the turn he is out of his crease and well stump by Taibu 49/418.5 flighted on off and he tries s to hit that hard and only succeeds in presenting it to Chibhabha at extra cover 63/537.4 a slog that is mistimed and he is caught at square leg guess by who? Taibu he ran for 30 mtres to take that between two fielders when O'Brien skied it he called it his good job. 115/824.1 the turn beats him and he hits it hard back to the bowler but he is equal to it 72/637.1 he came down the track and smashed that in the 1st delivery of the powerplay and is skied to Price at long off 113/746 flatter and quick, McCallan misses with an attempted sweep shot and it hits his pads andDabengwa appeals and Tiffin agrees with him and out 147/9Extras10 (lb 3, w 7)TOTAL147 all out (46.1 Overs, RR: 3.18)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (NJ O'Brien, 2.4 ov), 2-14 (GC Wilson, 4.3 ov), 3-17 (WTS Porterfield, 5.6 ov), 4-49 (AC Botha, 13.4 ov), 5-63 (AR White, 18.5 ov), 6-72 (AR Cusack, 24.1 ov), 7-113 (DT Johnston, 37.1 ov), 8-115 (KJ O'Brien, 37.4 ov), 9-147 (WK McCallan, 45.6 ov), 10-147 (PC Connell, 46.1 ov)
