Thunder win the toss, and elect to bat.
Sixers 1.79
Thunder 2.24
Same pitch as game a few days ago .. Less grass thou, and less seam than other nite. Short boundaries .. 58-60 metres, avg score here is low, as Thunder playing so bad .. 127 or so .. But avg generally 137 in last 10 games.
Gayle needs some runs .. Will it be tonite ?
Run line higher than averages .. About 153 ..
No position yet .. Lets watch Gayle, and see ..
Here we go .. Lee to open bowling
Thunder 3-0 after 1, Sixers 1.74
V odd .. Run-out, by a yard, but bails not dislodged .. So, not out .. Maybe lights are making bails heavier ..
Thunder 11-0 after 2, Sixers 1.75
Thunder 12-0 after 3, Sixers 1.68
Wkt - Rogers 3 from 9, Sixers 1.62
Thunder 16-1 after 4, Sixers 1.61
Pitch looks tricky, and batters all worried .. Am low on inngs runs, and have laid Thunder. Can be dangerous, with Gayle/Prior/Kuwaja .. But, that's my play.
Wkt - Gayle goes .. 7 from 15, Sixers 1.28 .. Huge result, for inngs runs.
Thunder 22-2 after 5, Sixers 1.28 .. Taken some green, on match odds.
Wkt - Prior 4 from 3, Sixers 1.18
Thunder 27-3 after 6, Sixers 1.14 .. Low enough, to lock in greens.
Wkt - Abbott, 1 from 5, Sixers 1.09. .. Shuda waited .. But happy.
Thunder 28-4 after 7, Sixers 1.09
Thunder 33-4 after 8, Sixers 1.11
Thunder 38-4 after 9, Sixers 1.11
Thunder 47-4 after 10, Sixers 1.14
Thunder 52-4 after 11, Sixers 1,12
Not got involved again ., still with run lines, under 140/150.
Wkt - Carters 10 from 17, Sixers 1.08
Pitch looks to have lotsa demons ...
Thunder 58-5 after 12, Sixers 1.07
Thunder 63-5 after 13, Sixers 1.07
Thunder 72-5 after 14, Sixers 1.08
Thunder 75-5 after 15, Sixers 1.09
Thunder 86-5 after 16, Sixers 1.11 ... If they get another 40 off last 4, might be a value lay.
Thunder 94-5 after 17, Sixers 1.12
Wkt - Keen 9 from 10, Sixers 1.10
Thunder 108-6 after 18, Sixers 1.14
Thunder 119-6 after 19, Sixers 1.21 ...have been laying Sixers from 1.14
Thunder finish on 132 - Khawaja much needed knock of 66 from 47, Sixers 1.26.
