Warriors vs Knights, 18th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Magala to Zuma, out Bowled!! He has been clean bowled! The LED bails go up in the air and shine out but that is not enough to hide the darkness that this innings was engulfed in. He tried backing away and missed a dead straight length delivery. They have been shot out for 93. Zuma b Magala 2(4)

A Birch to van Schalkwyk, out Caught by Jonker!! The batsman looks to go downtown and only manages to miscue it in the air. The field was set for a leg-side trap and the batsman falls prey to it. van Schalkwyk backed away a bit and wanted to launch it but in the end a half-hearted loft was pouched easily at long-on. van Schalkwyk c Jonker b A Birch 10(18) [4s-1]

Magala to D Olivier, FOUR, you can't bowl length, even to a tail-ender. That was creamed and the man at deep cover, despite giving it a good chase and then a dive, fails to stop it

A Birch to van Schalkwyk, FOUR, top-edge and it goes over the keeper. The banged in delivery evoked a pull, completely out-of-control and he got lucky. Welcome boundary

A Birch to Tumelo Bodibe, out Caught by Seyibokwe!! It is that kind of a day. They would be run over by a truck even in a desert. A highish full toss and that has been hammered straight down the throat of the man at deep square leg. That could have been put out of the stadium but found hands inside the boundary. Tumelo Bodibe c Seyibokwe b A Birch 6(11)

Ackermann to Patrick Botha, out Bowled!! The wheels are coming off. Sorry, the entire engine has been dismantled here. Patrick Botha looks to preempt a sweep, plays it too early only for the ball to traverse a way to the timbers. The trick from the bowlers is to just slow it down. They are doing it expertly. Patrick Botha b Ackermann 12(15) [4s-1]

Smuts to de Lange, out Bowled!! Slow, ultra slow. de Lange backs away, looks to cut and still misses it despite having so much of time on his hands. Silly, very silly. He should have been playing it with a straight bat. Being adventurous can be dangerous at times. de Lange b Smuts 1(4)

Ackermann to Swanepoel, out Caught by Smuts!! Comes down the track and clips it straight to the man at mid-wicket. Can a dismissal be softer than this? Hard to imagine. Innocous delivery and that still finds the fielder. Life is unfair, such deliveries should not be picking up wickets. They sink further into a soup. Swanepoel c Smuts b Ackermann 0(1)

Gqamane to Theunis de Bruyn, out Caught by Ackermann!! Slower delivery and the skipper is gone. Looked to go downtown and miscues the big hit down the ground to be taken at long-on. The length was there but the change of pace tricked the batsman as he could not really go full throttle at that. Back in trouble.. Theunis de Bruyn c Ackermann b Gqamane 11(10) [4s-1]

Ackermann to Theunis de Bruyn, FOUR, misfield and that will help him. Theunis de Bruyn made some room to this flatter ball and cut it to backward point, the fielder failed to stop it and the ball raced to the fence

Ackermann to Patrick Botha, FOUR, that is a fine shot. On the pads of Patrick Botha and he helps it with a swipe to deep backward square leg

Smuts to Gous, out Bowled!! Oh dear! This is a crumbling of cards, fresh ones off the shelf. Because it is happening at a brisk pace. Gous wanted to force this fullish ball off the back foot. But it was meant to be played off the front foot, skids on and uprooted the middle stump. Gous b Smuts 1(3)

Gqamane to Patrick Kruger, out Caught by Jonker!! Another one goes! Full ball and Patrick Kruger goes for the mighty swing, he was itching to force the issue for a while now. Drags it off the toe of the bat to the man at deep square leg. Patrick Kruger c Jonker b Gqamane 37(26) [4s-7]

Gqamane to Patrick Kruger, FOUR, short and wide outside off. Patrick Kruger pokes and gets a thick edge towards the third man fence

Magala to Letlotlo Sesele, out Letlotlo Sesele Run Out!! There was no run there. He pushed a shortish ball off the back foot to cover-point, set off but was sent back. A direct hit caught him short there. Letlotlo Sesele run out (Lesiba Ngoepe) 2(17)

BD Walters to Patrick Kruger, FOUR, shortish. Patrick Kruger makes use of it, helps the pull past short fine leg

A Birch to Patrick Kruger, FOUR, what a shot this. Nothing fancy yet beautiful. Fullish, might have been curling in a bit. Patrick Kruger swivels across and flicks over the mid-wicket region

A Birch to Patrick Kruger, FOUR, too straight and pays the price. On the pads of Patrick Kruger and he moves across a bit to glance it fine, the man was in the ring at fine leg and it raced away

A Birch to Patrick Kruger, FOUR, this outfield is an accomplice. Length ball on the stumps, Patrick Kruger drives on the up and beats the man at cover

A Birch to Patrick Kruger, FOUR, chipped over mid-on. Fullish ball on the stumps, Patrick Kruger uses his wrists to good effect and puts it over the man in the ring. A couple of bounces and into the fence

A Birch to Patrick Kruger, FOUR, short and wide outside off and finally Patrick Kruger gets some bat to it. Goes for the cut and beats a diving backward point
