MI Emirates vs Giants, 4th Match at Abu Dhabi, ILT20, Jan 21 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary

full length, bopped down to long-on, David fields... and MI Emirates secure an 18-run win against the defending champions, Gulf Giants

length ball, arrowing in on off. Sliced out to deep backward point

short ball, hoicked to deep square leg! Mujeeb holes out to the man running in off the rope and this one is almost done and dusted for MI Emirates

shortish and cut away from off stump, gets a couple into the deep

swings hard, big top edge and Boult completes the dismissal! Janat toe-ended this almost straight up and it was a pretty straightforward catch running across towards cover

round the wicket, short of a length and it beats the bat with Janat swinging for the hills

pitched up on off stump, Janat squirts it low to point for a single

over the wicket, goes full and straight, 138kph. Dug out leg side for one

fired in full and straight from round the wicket, 137kph and thumps the pads. Jordan was walking across his stumps and Pooran calls for a review. This could be close. Struck him in line with off, I reckon. Yes, it's three reds, smashing into middle stump! Farooqi has two in three balls and Giants are crumbling

full and wide, jammed into the off side, Hetmyer wants the strike... Farooqi underarmed into the stumps, and this could be two in two! Hetmyer dived full length for his ground, but didn't manage to ground any of his bat over the line! Almost the entire bat was over the line, but unfortunately it had bounced up (without being grounded initially, which would have saved Hetmyer). Giants lose both set batters from successive balls and quite possibly the game with them

bowled 'im! Farooqi lands another blow! Pace on, perfect length, rattles into the top of middle and off. Will that finally fell the Giants chase? Wasn't there for Overton to hit but he tried to anyway, heaving across the line - and zing went the bails

full and straight, Hetmyer digs it out through mid-on

round the wicket, serves up another slot ball, Overton dumps it over long-off! Overton is seeing it like a football, and this innings is threatening to become a wrecking ball for MI Emirates' hopes

full and wide, 133kph and Hetmyer slaps one more out to deep cover

short ball, Overton miscues his pull off the toe of the bat into the off side for one

lumped over long-on, six more! Boult lets go another full toss and Overton doesn't miss out, creaming the ball back 94m over long-on. Devon knows how he hits them so good!

another low full bunger, 131kph and Hetmyer can only swipe it to long-on

full toss outside off, slapped to long-off on the bounce and they push hard for two

tight lines, flat length and nudged through square leg for one

nicely bowled, spinning away from the left-hander and into the keeper's gloves
