Super Giants vs Eastern Cape, 5th Match at Gqeberha, SA20, Jan 13 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary

on a length on middle, as he looked to pull but got it on his pads

sliced to short third! Simple catch for Topley right in front of his chest. A yorker-length ball on fourth stump, as Worrall opened the face of his bat to guide that, but ended up chipping it to the fielder

quite full, and just outside off. Looked to slash, but was beaten

fires in a length ball and he appeals for lbw. The umpire raises his finger immediately, even as Stubbs reviews while walking back. It pitched on a length on middle and leg, and angled in to hit his front leg, which is slightly outside leg. Stubbs looked to swing but missed, and replays show the ball would have hit the leg stump

full delivery angling into his pads, and whipped to deep square

ahh, Dala from deep midwicket runs and slides wayyy to his left, and takes it on the bounce. Full ball on the stumps, and Harmer had a hoick at this slower ball

great attempted by Pooran at long-on! He leapt over, with the ball even kissing his right hand before dropping behind. Nearly a yorker just about on off from Gleeson, as Stubbs launched it back from deep in the crease, and raised his fifty

the ball goes up miles in the air... and lands short and wide of Pooran running forward from long-on. Another slower ball from Gleeson, who bowled on a length around off, as Stubbs has a go at that across the line

drags this yorker on the stumps to long-on, and they pinch two as Pooran fumbles

nearly chopped on! He looked to swat-pull this short ball just outside off, with the bottom edge falling falling on his back leg. Good slower ball from Gleeson

fuller side of a length just outside off, and pushed to point for a quick single

taken at deep point! Dawson falls now. Gleeson bowls on a short of a length, and pretty wide of off. Dawson went slashing at it away from his body, and though he hit powerfully, it wasn't enough to clear the substitute fielder on the rope

reverse scooped over short third! He shapes to loft it behind, with the length ball on leg arriving at a good bounce

fantastic work by Paul! He runs to his right from deep point, and pulls it back last moment. It was a full toss again which was angling across, as Stubbs sliced that away

slower ball at 108kph, and a low full toss on the stumps. Swiped to deep midwicket

low full toss on the stumps, and whipped to deep midwicket! And, and... there's a run-out too. This is what happened: Topley bowled a yorker-length ball on middle, which Stubbs swung across the line to deep midwicket. They completed the first, and just as Stubbs turned around to take the second, he was hit by the bowler's right leg. Stubbs' initial expression was that of him getting seriously injured, but that wasn't the case, even as Swanepoel was halfway down the crease, running himself out in the end

over the bowler's head! Another powerful strike for six. He got across the stumps early, and read this yorker-length ball ending wide of off. Replays show this is tight, with the ball barely landing on the bottom of the toblerone. But it's called four in the end, amid boos from the crowd. Looked surprising in real time and also in slow-motion replays

on a length, and angling across to end wide of off. Stubbs has a hoick across the line, but is beaten by the slower ball

low full toss on the stumps, and driven to long-on

dabs this length ball on the pitch - at a change of pace - and they take off for a single
