that's the win. Extra cover moved to the leg side and third man was in, so this ball was going to be on the leg side. He knew this. Stayed put. Got the low full toss and flicked it to deep square's left. He did a good job to cover that with a tumble and put in a throw, but there was enough time for the second

9:45 pm If you're just joining us, here's Peter Della Penna's match report for you to enjoy. And, that's all from us today. See you for the next one. On behalf of Sreshth and Thilak - goodbye!
Guptill: Nice to get the first one in the bag. It's a pretty good feeling. We're heading home now to familiar conditions so we could get some more wins under the belt.
Sammy:I think we bowled much better today. The first 10 overs of the match we controlled the game with Johnson and Watto. We still lost wickets in clusters. Getting close to the win. Did well with the ball. We're just not getting the results. I know we're practicing well. Sometimes you just have to relax and take your mind off.
Man of the Match, Rashid Khan: First of all, thanks to the almighty Allah for my performance. The wickets are very good for the spinners here. I played here against West Indies and I'm used to these wickets. So I just tried to bowl in the good areas. The win was needed, it's tough to come back if you lose three matches.
9:30 pm Fifth straight loss for the home team.That could be the end of their prospects. They don't look like a team that can push the mathematical possibilities either. Threw away a strong situation while batting, had a good 15 minute phase towards the end of this innings, but they just didn't show any sort of consistency. A nice mature innings from Mohammed and an impressive cameo from Singh has taken the Warriors to victory.
Same field...oh hang on. Extra cover moves to midwicket.
good shot. Forget the poking. Takes him on this time. Full at leg stump, clipped away between deep midwicket and deep square
dot ball! Yorker at off stump, and he looks to squeeze this to bring Singh on strike. Ends up tapping it back at the bowler
back of a length outside off, forces him to slap this to deep point. Good bowling
Stays around the wicket to Singh.
full at leg stump, attempted slog, poor connection. Straight to deep midwicket
Primus on strike. Darren Sammy is going to bowl. Around the wicket. Deep square, deep midwicket, long-on, sweeper, long-off. Third man is in.
caught at mid-off! Mitch has produced a dream 19th over. Slower ball, full toss outside off. Mohammed wants to slap this over mid-off but he gets it off the toe. Sammy runs to his right and holds on. Three runs and a wicket. It looks like they crossed over too, the new man will be on strike
legutter, good length at off stump. Steps out and slices to deep point
bouncer over off stump. Looks to play the upper cut and can't connect. He thinks that's a wide...replays suggest he has a case
low full toss outside off, driven to sweeper cover
legcutter, around the wicket. Back of a length at the hips from around the wicket, tickled to fine leg
legcutter, back of a length outside off. Looks to cut this, beaten
full outside off, front leg out of the way, driven straight to deep extra cover
powerful. Oh this is top T20 batting from Singh. Taylor has a field set for the angled full one across the left-hander. But he bowls a short one at middle stump. Singh is on his front foot, but he takes the opportunity. Slaps it to the midwicket boundary, one bounce
short and in the corridor. Backs away and under-cuts it to sweeper. Slips at the non-strikers end
walks across after anticipating the angle, slogs across the line and gets it wide of long-on
superb. Taylor misses length this time. Wants to angle the yorker across the left-hander again, but this is a nice half-volley. Gets the front leg away and slices it over extra cover
nails the yorker, wide outside off. Singh wasn't close to hitting that
21 required now off the last three overs.
short and wide, angling away. Makes room and scythes this past extra cover. Sweeper runs to his right and returns a throw. Batsman is a long way in but Akmal appeals loudly. Sent upstairs, not out
another legspinner, this one short and down leg. Swivels and paddles it straight to fine leg
a legspinner from Mayers. Singh picks it. Sees it at off, good length. Takes the percentage option and goes after it, to try and smash it over the midwicket boundary. But it's a fast bowler's legspinner - so it doesn't turn. Beaten
