and that's it! He moves all around his crease then just manages to slice this to short third man
Hurricanes vs Sixers, 4th Match at Alice Springs, BBL, Dec 20 2019 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Hobart Hurricanes win by 25 runs after staging a remarkable turnaround after the powerplay. It was started by Riley Meredith and turbo-charged by a brilliant spell, and three-wicket over, by Qais Ahmad. The pitch was tough for free scoring, only D'Arcy Short really settled in, and there was some good bowling on both sides but it's Qais who will rightly take the attention. It's a quick turnaround for both sides as they both play again on Sunday. There's more BBL action today with the Melbourne Stars getting their tournament underway against the Brisbane Heat and you can follow all the action here. For now, though, that's all from here. Thanks for joining us.
back-of-the-hand slower ball, very full outside off, he plays over the top of it
slower ball, full outside off, pushed to the covers
full outside off, clubbed out to deep midwicket
great catch, that's the match! Full and straight, Silk plays effectively a slog sweep, doesn't get far off the ground and Short does brilliantly at deep square to take it low at the ground.
28 needed off 12. Silk needs to find the boundary, or let Manenti do it. Faulkner at the death
slower ball, full outside off, shoveled to deep square leg
full toss outside off, square drives through backward point, Short gets around to prevent the boundary
down the leg side but it's just a single as he flicks it backward of square
aiming for the yorker, it's a low full toss at off stump, driven square through point
good length at the stumps, swatted down to long-on...singles are fine for Hobart
short of a length outside off, connects crisply again with a pull but finds deep midwicket
Do we have a late twist in this match?
full at off stump, swung to deep midwicket
connects this time! Drops it short, that's a powerful pull which goes well back into the stand at deep square
gets himself room outside leg and drives to cover, would have been close with a direct hit...would have been well out, in fact
on the stumps, heaved to deeps square leg
length ball, another cutter, not much timing as he swings to midwicket
length ball outside off, a slower ball, he swings and gets a bottom edge that bobbles back to the keeper
So it's 46 needed off four with Meredith and Qais finished
full at the pads, clipped through midwicket and Silk spots there's the chance for a second
a yorker at leg stump, flicked to deeps square leg
keeps it full at the stumps, pushed down the ground to long-on
