Warriorz vs Giants, 21st Match at Sharjah, ILT20, Jan 26 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Short of a length and straight at the stumps, maneuvered away to short midwicket, not off the middle, and that'll be that. Gulf Giants hold their nerve and get over the line. The don't stumble, stutter, err tonight and will be ecstatic to collect two points. It's been a comprehensive win and a brilliantly paced run-chase!

Back of a length, slanted across off, firmly cut away to third up in the ring. Scores are level

Dsouza with a tumbling sliding save at deep backward point, superb effort, he loves fielding! Shortish and wide of off, slapped behind point

Nuzzled away to deep midwicket for a run

Around the wicket, yorker on fifth stump line, spanks it away to sweeper cover, Dsouza makes a rare mistake and fumbles and that allows them to take another run. But he is a great, great fielder with a good head on the shoulders; everybody is allowed a rare lapse and he is livid with himself

Fuller on middle, lashing it downtown and long-on cuts it off but can't prevent the duo from pinching a couple, down to run-a-ball

Low full-toss on middle, eased to long-on for a run; Vince still has a serious look on his face, I think he can relax now

Larruped it high over deep midwicket for a six. He is just firing it in and not giving any sort of flight and not looking to turn the ball, it was length on middle and he deposited it into the stands

Clattered away to deep cover-point for a run

Around the wicket, speared it quick but outside leg-stump, superb take from Seifert. Foot is planted and the third umpire adjudges it not out

Full and angling into the pads, raps him on the pads; ball flutters in front of square to the off side and the pair sneak a bye

Sends it miles over backward square for six! Shortish on middle and leg, plants his front leg and punishes the loose delivery, turning out be a big game-changing over.

Short and wide across off, reaches out and dabs it away to cover; scampered single, dicey call. Pace-off delivery; Roy with the throw

Looking for the wide yorker, just marginally outside tramline on off

Spears it full and slanted across off, gets behind and chomps it down the ground, beats long-on and that will certainly give him a feel-good factor and release pressure

Touch short on the body, labored pull to square leg, Dsouza in action again; he has been a livewire in the field; the youthful exuberance and never-ending supply of energy

Short on the stumps and he pulls it away along the ground towards deep midwicket. Anybody's game

Goes for a fuller googly; he gets down on one knee and goes for a massive slog sweep; Milne covers plenty of distance towards his left and puts in a valiant dive and saves a boundary. Zampa has done his job and kept his side pretty much alive

Low full-toss wide of off, crunched to extra cover, missed out on a freebie

Worked away into the gap at midwicket region; turning out to be a good over for Warriors
