No. Rossouw gets on one knee and shoots it over cover. The gun celebration with the bat dropping behind, is out. It was a full ball that was wide and flighted. He got on one knee and smeared it.
Seattle vs Los Angeles, 12th Match at Morrisville, MLC, Jul 23 2023 - Match Result
Los Angeles won by 2 wickets (with 5 balls remaining)
The action is done for this game but MI New York and Washington Freedom are getting set to lock horns on the same ground. Rvel Zahid's coverage has started, check it out. From game 12, it's goodbye from me, Ekanth, on behalf of Vairavan, our scorer.
Sunil Narine: Always good to win. If you make winning a habit it follows you. We had chances to capitalise even when we lost. We still played good cricket. Hopefully, we get over the line next time. The fans have been great.
Wayne Parnell: Rilee showed his class and experience. It's a game of inches and we're on the wrong side. We will debrief. Our mantra has been to be consistent. Whether we're winning or losing, so we'll have the same chats today.
Rilee Rossouw, POTM: It's a different feeling to win. It was my day and it came off. We've had to adapt to the up and down movement and adjust to the different conditions here.
4pm: Rilee Rossouw helps LAKR finish their tournament with their first win. He got able support from the lower order and they took down Tye in the end. They did well to recover in the middle overs after Gannon helped take out the top order. Russell was good in the middle, Narine, van Schalkwyk, Zampa and Johnson made handy contributions. Parnell, Harmeet, Tye were taken down and Orcas suffer their first loss.
Just two needed. LAKR on the verge of getting their first win. Will there be a twist?
Another quick single to retain strike. Perfect result for LAKR. Length just outside off, dinked to short third again.
Overthrow allows two. Length outside off, slapped to cover, who threw it to midwicket where no one was backing up. Johnson's shoe popped out as he was running but they take two safely
They steal a single. Length outside off, dinked with an open face to short third and they took off. No direct hit
6 needed off 9
Bunted to the off side to rotate strike
Proper slot. Down the leg side, helped away with the flick. Big one just behind square
Man at long leg overruns it and misses out on the catch. It was helped across in the air just behind square
Just 17 needed off 12. Just two wickets in hand. Rossow stands between Orcas and the win
Pulled, they scamper for two. Throw from deep midwicket was high. QDK had to push the ball down onto the stumps. Allowed enough time for the bat to be slid in
Full and wide, driven with the horizontal bat to long-off
Pulled. Huge six takes LAKR over 150. Shortish ball under chest height, Rossouw swivelled and nailed it over the leg side. 91 metres, just in front of square
Slaps the shortish ball to long-off
Tries to club it again but gets it off the bottom to long-on
Wide and full, bashed away over long-on. Rossouw brings up 50 and does a rifle-shoot celebration
Back of length at the body, helped off the back foot to deep backward square
Wide on a length, dragged across to deep midwicket
Ouch, bouncer beats the pull and hits him on the left side of the head - around the temple. Spongier bounce meant the impact wasn't as hard. Concussion check will happen
Rossouw finnally gets strike
Shortish ball is slapped to deep cover
Jones comes in from deep cover and takes a good sliding catch. Ball was on a length outside off, Zampa sliced it off the top edge in an attempt to carve it squarer. Man from cover was running back but had to pull out, Jones chugged at full steam to make it
Slower one on a back of length. Makes room and punches it to cover. Kept a bit low. Well adjusted by Zampa
36 needed off 24. LAKR still somehow in this
Makes room and carves this one to deep point
