Titans vs Sixers, 2nd Semi-Final at Centurion, Oct 26 2012 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Sixers have done in. Kuhn had a great chance, but he has missed it. De Villiers looks up at the sky in despair. Slower bouncer, Cummins is beaten, Kuhn collects it clean on the bounce, and has enough time to line up the stumps, but he misses them by a long way. Starc dives in, but that would have been to no avail had Kuhn hit them direct. And what of Cummins? He collides with de Villiers, and even when down on his knees, eh stumbles into the crease. What desperation from Cummins and Starc

if Titans are to win this, they will have to do it through a Super Over. Short ball, into the body, hits his arm, and goes nowhere, but they sneak in the leg-bye. Scores are level

de Villiers has hurt himself here. Cummins tries the big slog, the ball hits the pad but goes nowhere. They are stealing the leg-bye, de Villiers runs in, wants to kick the ball onto the stumps, but lands on the ball and has gone down

low full toss, luckily for Titans he has hit this to deep midwicket. But that's not the half of this. Cummins wants a second from the moment he has touched the ball, and he goes for it. The throw is wide, Kuhn does well to collect it down the wicket with one glove off and then hits the stumps direct, but Cummins has made it by a frame

oh de Villiers. He has bowled a big wide outside off. Fine leg and square leg were in the ring. Did they have anything to do with this?

Cause an eruption is what it will do. Rohrer gets a length ball on off with mid-off up, and he sees the opportunity to close the game here. He is slightly early into the shot, and hits it straight to van der Merwe at mid-off who takes this lowish catch with fingers pointing up

phew. what a shot to play at this time. Full, on off, he is all the way across, on a knee, and scoops it over the keeper's head. This is a mis-hit, but has enough behind it to clear the keeper

Has Behardien dropped the Champions League?. This is not just the wicket, but two runs too, which leave Sixers needing just eight off the final over. Length ball, outside off, Cummins tries to send it over long-off, but miscues it high into the air. Behardien runs in, has enough time, but hasn't managed to get under it. Tries to catch it very low, but it spills through

huge slower ball now, beats his slog from outside off

Cummins. What a time to arrive. Is he making up for his bowling effort? This match refuses to go down a straight line. Length ball, on leg, and he is down on a knee to hit this flat over long-on

yorker, on leg, dug out softly between long-on and deep midwicket, and they have enough time to come back for two

full, on off, he squeezes it behind square with the third man up, but he can't get it past Wiese at point. It's that man again

bouncer, down leg, Rohrer, who has backed away, ducks under it, and the umpires refuses to call it a wide because it has bounced over his body

swiped away into the leg side, keeps the strike

finally a mistake by Wiese. Length ball, middle and leg, regulation pace, and he has driven this wide of long-on

this man can do no wrong tonight. Slower off cutter, driven to his right, and Wiese dives to field it on the adjacent pitch

length ball, wide, pushed to long-off, Cummins puts his wicket on the line as he comes back for the second. He puts in the dive, but a bad bounce on the throw means Wiese can't collect it

low full toss, driven to long-on

slower ball, middle and leg, driven to long-on

nicely driven down the ground but Behardien puts in the big dive at mid-off to save three
