MI Emirates vs Giants, 19th Match at Abu Dhabi, ILT20, Jan 25 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Says what's all the fuss about and finishes the game in style, gets down low and cracks the slog sweep across the line and beats the packed field at leg for a four, it has got enough legs to reach the rope at deep midwicket. Zubair is absolutely pumped up, he has kept his cool and got his side over the line

Disturbs the furniture! Curran backed away and he slung it full on off and it tickles the stumps, zingers are alight. He's not going to go down without a spirited fight; a good comeback after being dispatched for a six

Full on leg, scuffs a drive back to the bowler

Full-toss on middle, plinked out to long-off for a run

Around the wicket, full on fifth stump, forces it to sweeper cover and dashes back for the second

Tossed outside off, can't cut it away

Bowls a full-toss on middle and leg and he accepts it gleefully, smoked over midwicket for a six . It's a no ball too, double-whammy, he knew he erred big time

Bustling in, lands it full and outside off, opens the face and carves it away to deep backward point for a couple. 11 will be required from the final over

Gets away with a juicy full-toss outside off, wanted to slam it away but missed it altogether

Looking for the blockhole, not far away from the spot, angled across off and prodded away to Waseem at deep third

Yorker length on off, pushed away to long-off for a run

Dishes out a wide outside the line of off-stump

Wide yorker, opens the face and steers it away to Waseem at deep third

Slices in the air and he didn't get the requisite distance, Muhammad Waseem takes a spectacular running catch at deep third and Adair has to go. It was bowled across off and he wanted to swat it out of the park

Goes full and outside off, plinked out to Pollard past mid-off for a run Pooran is claiming that it's a run-out as he grounded his bat and then left the crease even though the throw hadn't yet arrived and collected by Pooran but he loses the case even though his argument seems strong. Well, it's been sent to the third umpire for another look. It is OUT on the big screen and it won't sit nicely with Tom Curran and Andy Flower. And he started to walk off but he is now coming back. It's so confusing. Perhaps Nicholas Pooran called him back and decided against his appeal. Yes, he is staying on and will continue to bat.

Over the wicket again, short on middle, he steps away to the leg side, gives himself room and cuts it over Pooran's head for a four. He has got ice in his veins; remarkable awareness and composure at this crunch stage of the game

Pollard gamely jumped two-handed at mid-off but no dice, excellent effort, timed the jump to perfection and almost pouched it. Slightly short on middle and powered down but hit him high and wasn't timed well enough

Short of a length at middle, backs away and clatters it on the rise to sweeper cover, brilliant running between the wickets, rolled his fingers on it

Bit short on the pads, glanced away to short fine and tears across for a quick single

Farooqi with a splendid effort at deep third, hauled the ball back in on one bounce, one-handed stop while running to his left, was a shortish ball outside off, sliced away behind square
