Here's Sherfane Rutherford: "Coming into this tournament, I tell myself I have a responsibility and batting up the order was something that I always wanted."
Well that's it for us from tonight's coverage. For Andrew McGlashan, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!
good length ball, swings and misses outside off.
thigh high full toss on middle, Allen swings over the top of this and misses. LBW shout denied. and it's not a bad shout either! Probably would've hit the stumps. How was that not given out!?
in the slot and into the stands! Full on fourth stump, Allen crushes this high back over Edwards and it clears the roof!
bouncer down leg, goes to pull and misses, wide called on the line.
Edwards comes back for his final over. 11 needed to win off 18 balls.
goodness! No mercy from Rutherford, flat on leg stump, just a very wristy flick and it blazes flat over the rope for another maximum to bring up a half-century off 26 balls.
length ball and Rutherford makes them pay for the miss, slays this over midwicket.
missed chance! full on middle, skies a flick over short fine leg and the sub fielder loses this swirler in the lights. Kirk McKenzie backpedals from the ring and never gets a hand to it in the end. The youngster is looking sheepish.
Jrm: "Want Rutherford straight into windies for world cup"
full on off, flicks this in the air over square leg and fielded on one bounce.
another one strays into the body, mistimes this along the ground behind square.
yoo hoo! yea haw! Over midwicket and out of the ground! Was searching for the leg stump yorker and instead finds Rutherford flicking him for six high and deep over the leg side tents.
Pretorius to bowl his final over now, around the stumps to Rutherford.
back of a length on the stumps, fights this off the gloves into the covers for one.
bouncer clears Rutherford with ease, Lewis leaps to do extremely well to stop it from being five wides, but the striker's end umpire signals wide.
bounces him wide outside off, tries to pull this again and top edges this but it falls well short of the man charging in from deep midwicket.
overcompensates going too short and Allen swats this flat over wide long-on, one bounce to the rope.
yikes! Shot of the day! In the slot on sixth stump to be fair, but still it's an imperious drive over extra cover. It whistles over the ad boards beyond the rope.
full on fourth stump, goes to drive again, slices a thick edge high over short third man and backspins away to the rope.
full on sixth stump, goes to drive and is beaten for pace.
50 runs off 30 balls to win. Pretty straightforward by modern T20 standards. Russell comes back into the attack with a tender hamstring.
on the stumps, tapped gently into midwicket for one.
full on off, prodded into the covers for one.
Switches around the stumps now.
