he's done it, gets the yorker in at off stump, drilled down the ground but it's only two
Hurricanes vs Renegades, 47th Match at Melbourne, BBL, Jan 21 2020 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Hobart Hurricanes win by four runs and that was some performance by Nathan Ellis to close that out in the final over after going for 20 in the 18th. A very good T20 match. The Renegades gave it a terrific shake and it looked like they would win when Nabi was going. For the Hurricanes it keeps their season alive, they can still squeeze into fifth spot. A good night for their young players with Mac Wright playing a key innings after Wade had blazed away. Phew, that was fun.
Mac Wright is Player of the Match: "What a finish, great finish from Nathan. It was a really good game. He [Nabi] was smashing them. I was pretty nervous, it was by first catch, too, and I lost it in the lights."
I'll wrap things up for there for tonight. We'll have Strikers v Stars tomorrow so see you for that. Thanks for joining us.
Six for a Super Over
swing and miss! Full outside off, Christian goes across the line. One of the more vital dot balls Ellis has bowled
7 off 2
swing and a miss, a full delivery outside leg, Patel gave himself room and it went between his pads and the leg stump. They steal the bye
8 off 3
well bowled! It's the slower ball, straight, Christian goes for a paddle sweep and gets taken on the pad
9 off 4. Super Over?
full toss down deep square leg's throat! He hopes for the no-ball, but that's okay. He connects pretty well, but it doesn't have the distance
9 off 5
gets the yorker in wide outside off, lobbed down the ground and Christian sprints back for the second
11 off 6 balls. Ellis to bowl
miles in the air, but lands safe in the off side! How did that not go to hand. Well bowled again, was brave to send it down a touch slower. He swings across the line and it's a huge top edge that goes a long way up
very full, much slower, almost dips under the bat. Priceless dot
12 off 8
Hemant Tiwari: "No one acknowledges Nabi 50. Great knock" There's a bit going on, sorry! It was indeed a tremendous innings. Dan Christian the new man
taken at deep midwicket! Another twist. Was in the slot again, but Nabi dragged this to the leg side, the bat twisted a bit, and that's a superb low catch Wright under immense pressure
oh boy, and another! Swings it into the sightscreen straight down the ground. It's the Renegades' to lose now
clears long-off! This wasn't quite so full, Nabi was just able to get underneath it and drilled it down the ground
oh, well done! Round the wicket, fires in the yorker outside off, he plays over it. Good take
Clive Rose to bowl. Gulp. What can Ellis defend off the last? The Hurricanes season hanging by a thread
The Renegades have a great chance now. This has been a very good effort
finds the gap! It's a straight low full toss, swung between long-on and deep midwicket
this one is almost spot on, the yorker at off stump, driven to deep cover
gets the length wrong, driven over wide long-off! He's just a fraction off with the yorker, it's in the slot, Nabi connects wonderfully cleanly
that's HUGE over the leg side! Dropped in short, Nabi latches on and pulls it mightily into the second tier over deep midwicket
Sam Harper has been taken to hosptial as a precaution
terrific yorker but he nails it firmly through the off side, straight to the sweeper
low full toss at leg stump, drilled down to long-on
wide outside off, gets a bottom edge into the pitch and back to the bowler. Valuable dot ball
back of a length outside off, connects cleanly with this one and carves it wide of deep cover
