Goes fuller and slants across off, tries to thump it over long-on and finds the fielder at long-on, didn't get under it fully and mistimed the lofty shot. Lowest score ever in Major League Cricket as TSK cruise to victory with an utterly domineering show!
Texas vs Seattle, 7th Match at Oakland, MLC, Jun 16 2025 - Match Result
Not the usual Oakland wicket; this one had a lot of juice and offered plenty of assistance to both pacers and spinners. TSK exploited the conditions brilliantly, picking up wickets at regular intervals and making light work of the task at hand. The top three didn't even reach double figures. Aaron Jones showed some resistance but fell after a run-a-ball 17. Nothing much else to talk about really; just an abject surrender with the bat. A supreme bowling performance, though from TSK, didn't let them get off the hook at any stage. Zia-ul-Haq started the rot by triggering a storm, claiming the key wickets of Warner, Klaasen and Raza. Burger foxed Mayers, Taylor, and Jasdeep while Noor was bowling ripping, gripping, shaking, and troubling leg-breaks and googlies to dismiss Nayak, Harmeet and McCoy. Stoinis held up his end of the bargain and it was all too easy for the Kings, who were clearly the far better side in every department today. Faf du Plessis must be a very happy chappy, mighty pleased with his team's performance. A big boost to their NRR too, which could prove crucial in the later stages of the tournament
Mean bumper around the line off, keeps low and keeps his bonce away from the line, well it's been deemed too short and adjudicated as a wide
Dug in short and outside off, plonks a pull towards midwicket, he doesn't wanna die wondering
Touch short and angled in from outside off, dabbed away to the right of point
Lands it on a shorter length and offers room outside off, runs it down to deep third for a single
Around the wicket, hits the hard length and attacks the stumps, exposes his stumps and wallops it to deep cover-point, lands short of the fielder
floated up and it pitches on a fuller length on middle, protects his pads by whipping it to short backward square, tried around the wicket angle. Lovely spell comes to an end , 3/18, stellar work as usual from a highly dexterous leg-spinner
Looped up, landed on a length and turns into leg-stump, played with spin to vacant short leg area, keeper gathers the ball quickly
slip in place waiting earnestly for an edge. Tossed up on a length and holds its line outside off, attempted drive, beats his outside edge
pushed on a length at middle and leg, clipped around the corner
searing wrong'un almost disturbed the off-stump pole, beats his attempted slog sweep
Can Noor wrap it up in this over?
Comes over the wicket
Slightly short on middle and leg, late on the flick and the ball ricochets off the pads behind square on off
Lands it on a length and it seam in from fifth or sixth stump line, leaves it alone for the keeper to collect
Around the wicket, fraction short and angling back from outside off, slams a pull to deep square region, man stationed there
Ouch, that looks nasty! Mean short one got big on him, doesn't have the prowess to deal with it, hits him near the helmet apparently as he tried a pull, physio is out for a concussion check, looks okay but there will be a pause owing to the protocol
Touch short and strays on the pads, smears it away to deep backward square's right
Bit short and veering away in the channel, swing and a miss
Over the wicket, fraction short on middle and leg, hits it with gusto in the gap in front of midwicket, disdainfully done
Doesn't matter because Noor bowls a beauty on middle, tenderises his pads and elicits an lbw appeal, was a belated attempt to ask for a review, ran out of time in the end. On the second look, it was leg-sidish and would have been interesting had he reviewed it, ball spun back quite sharply from a length on off
Over the wicket again, beautiful googly spinning across off, goes for an ambitious pull, doesn't connect, keeper can't get his hand to it. Two fielders run back, hunted down and keeper got an awkward bounce, throw was very full, could have been a run-out had he picked it neatly
