1.6 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Bowled him! Don't need to bother with stumping when you can get through the gate like that! That is a corker on a length that came back appreciably from off and kept a touch low too, Gurbaz is flummoxed by Watt's sorcery and stands stunned there. Excellent first over, gave no leeway whatsoever. 11/1
Daniel Sams	4	0	28	3	7.00	10	0	2	2	0
4.2 to BR Dunk, Miscues the skier! One big shoot too many. Tries a similar shot but this time it goes straight into the hands of Johnson Charles who charged in from the rope and hung onto it brilliantly, he was starting to cut loose but it wasn't a fluent stay at the crease, looked a bit rusty. 28/2 15.3 to RE van der Merwe, And that is wicket No. 200 for Daniel Sams in his 161th T20! The New South Wales speedster finds a way to break this stand. Van der Merwe takes on the short ball and miscues it to Jawadullah at fine leg, lovely little cameo from a very entertaining cricketer from Netherlands, the only who looked somewhat fluent today. He was early through the pull and is not happy with himself. 85/8 17.4 to Sikandar Raza, Round the wicket, pitched up on middle and leg, gets down low to it and tries to pummel him over deep extra cover but the bat turned in his hand and Cadmore swoops to his left like a dolphin gambooling in the sea, Raza is livid with himself, it was in his hitting zone but he was camped deep and just couldn't time it that well. 102/9
Muhammad Jawadullah	3	0	19	1	6.33	9	3	0	0	0
6.6 to DA Warner, Banged in short, strangled down leg and Dickwella takes a stupendous catch with his gloves! Tries to hurriedly pull it behind square and couldn't bail out of the shot, keeper with sharp reflexes leaps into the air and takes a stunner, Warriors off to a rocking start! . 39/3
Maheesh Theekshana	4	0	20	4	5.00	12	2	0	0	0
8.3 to SW Billings, steps to the leg side and swats it straight to Gregory at point and he has to go! Theekshana roars in jubilation, made room to hit up and over the fielder but didn't get elevation, Capitals in all sorts of trouble. 44/4 8.5 to MDE Holden, Shrieking for an lbw, not given. He looks convinced, meeting underway between Cadmore, Dickwella and Theekshana; they will take a second opinion on it. Nothing on the ultra-edge as he attempts to sweep, looks pretty adjacent, pitching in line, impact in line and hitting wickets so that's a successful review. This is going from bad to worse for Warriors who are now staring into the abyss. They need major rebuilding work now to put up a decent total. 44/5 10.6 to R Powell, That looks stone dead and the umpire raises the dreaded finger! Rapid snorter on a length that curled away a wee bit from middle and rapped the back pad, I don't think anything can save him other than bat. Warner meanwhile looks despondently as the batting capitulates. Yup, three reds on the big screen and Powell has to take the long walk back to the dressing room. Capitals find themselves in a rut as Warriors continue to pick wickets at regular intervals. A sorry looking scorecard. 56/6 12.5 to JO Holder, Traps him lbw! floated up on a length and this looks very straight, no confusion at all on this occasion, Holder cannot bring his bat down in the nick of time, there is a fair bit of distance that bat had to travel and Theekshana is spitting fire, quicker and straighter, would have gone on to clatter the middle, Capitals are 62-7, yes you read that right! Wow, the emotion, the pride! That wicket meant the world to him as he eyes a fifer. 62/7

8.2 to N Dickwella, Takes a step out of his crease and chips it straight to Sam Billing at long-on! Tossed up fuller on middle and he launched the ball straight into the fielder's hands, wanted to finish the game in a hurry but ends up finishing his stay on the crease, gone for 37. 70/1
