oh Lions have lost it. They are not going for the second. What is de Kock doing? Full toss hit to deep midwicket, but de Kock returns while coming back for the second. The second wasn't on but de Kock had nothing to lose if he had kept on coming. In fact that was the only way they would have won. He stopped midway, and Pretorious is run out. Otago have won despite a second tie because they hit one more boundary than the Lions

Neesham to Pretorius, 1 run, OUT
Dwaine Pretorius run out (BB McCullum) 1 (1b 0x4 0x6)
What can Pretorious do here? The first ball he is facing in the tiebreaker. Let me tell you, if this Super Over is tied, Otago win the match because they have hit one more boundary than Lions

Neesham to de Kock, 1 run
oh they didn't run the first one hard. Wide full toss, driven hard to deep point, but despite the fumble they are in no position to go for the second. This is dopey cricket
Good news for Lions is, de Kock is on strike
0.4
W
Neesham to Symes, OUT
He has recovered. Not the smartest of shots. Slogs hard when a run a ball is required. Nothing special about this delivery either. Just a wide length ball. Somehow, though, Symes mis-hits and offers mid-off an easy catch
Jean Symes c BB McCullum b Neesham 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
Three required off three. Can Nesham recover?

Neesham to de Kock, 1 run
nearly game over. ordinary bowling again. A length ball wide outside off, driven hard down the ground, almost beats mid-off to his left. They get just the single

Neesham to de Kock, SIX runs
I scored a hundred. I will score more if required. I will win this game. De Kock is running away with this. Neesham is ordinary again. On a length, not much sting, on the pads, he clears the front leg again and swings him hard over deep square leg
0.1

Neesham to de Kock, FOUR runs
ordinary start from Neesham. Wide length ball, de Kock opens up the front leg, and drives him over cover for four
Oh it's Neesham again. He has been doing it with the bat. They have given the ball to him too. Often when it's your evening, it is your night too. Will it be for Neesham?
De Kock and Symes come out to bat. Fourteen to get off the over. The fine leg is up, the third man is back. Two policemen walk in front of the sight screen as Neesham runs in. He will have to run in again
SUPER OVER - END OF OVER13 runs
OTAGO: 13/0CRR: 13.00
Somehow Otago have managed a fighting total despite a very good over by Tanvir. Soon it will be over to de Kock and Symes and Pretorious
Who will bowl for Otago? I see Wagner is choosing the ball. I also McMillan is warming up. It could even be Neesham

Tanvir to McCullum, SIX runs
McCullum improvises. He dances down the wicket to turn this yorker into a low full toss and somehow finds enough power to loft it over wide long-off for six. It was Lions' game until now. Now Otago have a fighting chance
It's been an excellent over so far

Tanvir to Neesham, 1 run
another superb yorker, the best Neesham can do with it is to dig it out to mid-off for one

Tanvir to McCullum, 1 bye
goes wider of the crease and bowls another lovely yorker, which sears in and goes between his legs. They steal a bye, but this is a lovely result for Lions

Tanvir to McCullum, no run
lovely yorker just outside off. Not too wide, and reducing the room with the angle coming in. At 135ks too. McCullum gets no touch on it. Beaten on the inside edge
Round the wicket goes Tanvir
