back of length, hammered over midwicket to help Hurricanes make it to the semis..
Tridents vs Hurricanes, 16th Match, Group B at Mohali, Sep 28 2014 - Match Result
Hurricanes won by 6 wickets (with 10 balls remaining)
Superb innings from Shoaib innings given that the pitch was not an easy one to bat. It needed someone with experience to manouever the ball around and keep the score ticking. The win was set up by Hurricanes' disciplined effort with the ball that had restricted the Tridents to 113. The loss here for Tridents means they are out of the race for semis along with Cobras and Northern Districts. Time to move over to the other match.
"One thing was in my mind that in this slow pitch, someone had to bat through," says Shoaib Malik. "If they had taken those catches, things could have been different. But credit must go to our bowlers."
"The guys gave a good effort, still we dropped a couple of catches," says Rayad Emrit. "That probably cost us the match. Still there were not enough runs on the board."
Xavier Doherty is the Man of the Match.
he levels the score with a scythe through cover! Just stands tall and sends that length ball scurrying through the floor
back of length on the body, Shoaib hops to the off and clips it to fine leg for a single
he jumps on the crease to defend the back of length delivery to midwicket
Tankzim brashee: "Shoaib's knock has been so good on so many levels, for starters against his own club. Secondly the fact for a naturally aggressive batsmen he has just hit the one four but still managed to score at close to a run a ball. Also he has Hobart on the brink of victory and perhaps a spot in the knockout stages. Well done Malik !"

he pulls put the big shot as the field is in, but he doesn't get any timing. Nurse, running back from mid-on, has all the time but he doesn't even get a hand to it. Rampaul is not even surprised anymore
