Jozi Stars vs Nelson Mandela Bay Giants, 8th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Nandre Burger to Phangiso, out Caught by Smuts!! Jozi Stars have been bowled out with 7 balls left. It was the clever change of pace from Burger, Phangiso did not spot it and went for the big hit, sent it straight up over the bowler and Smuts called for it, ran in from mid-off and held on comfortably. Phangiso c Smuts b Nandre Burger 11(14) [6s-1]

Nandre Burger to Olivier, FOUR, these are handy runs for the Stars. Back of a length and nips in, Olivier is caught in the crease and is late in bringing his bat down, squirts an inside edge that goes away fine

Chris Morris to Phangiso, SIX, woah! That is a superb hit from Phangiso. Surely Morris would not have enjoyed that. Full delivery around off, Phangiso makes room and pumps it straight over mid-off. He got plenty of wood as it cleared the rope as well

Junior Dala to Bavuma, out Caught by Chris Morris!! Bavuma was running out of partners and overs, he decides to take on Dala and perishes in the process. Good length ball and Bavuma tries to heave it across the line, gets more height than distance and Morris backtracks from mid-wicket to take a good catch. Bavuma c Chris Morris b Junior Dala 27(31) [4s-2]

Nandre Burger to Phangiso, leg byes, FOUR, misses his radar and is made to pay. Burger went for the toe-crusher but lost his line, it was down leg and Phangiso deflected it off the pad to fine leg

Junior Dala to Rabada, out Bowled!! Dala sends the off-stump flying now. He had uprooted Gayle's leg and middle-stump, now Rabada's off-stump goes for a toss. A yorker which Rabada takes on the full to drive, gets an inside edge and that's the end of him. He walks back shaking his head but there was not much he could do. Rabada b Junior Dala 1(6)

Tahir to Gerald Coetzee, out Caught by Ben Dunk!! Tahir finishes with three wickets. Jozi Stars are in deep trouble. The googly outside off and Coetzee wanted to run down to third man, the extra bounce does him in as it takes the outside edge and Ben Dunk does the rest. Tahir ends with figures - 4-0-23-3. Gerald Coetzee c Ben Dunk b Tahir 1(6)

Smuts to Gerald Coetzee, leg byes, FOUR, turn and bounce. Slower and drifting in, Coetzee presses forward to defend but the ball spins away to hit him on the forearm and race through the vacant slip cordon

Tahir to Harmer, out Bowled!! Easy peasy! Tahir is off on his celebratory run. The quickish leg-break, Harmer goes back because of the length and plays down the wrong line, the ball turns enough to beat the outside edge and crash into off-stump. Harmer b Tahir 6(7) [4s-1]

Smuts to Harmer, FOUR, nice way to finish the over. Flighted delivery on off, Harmer kneels down and sweeps it square on the leg-side, he made sure that it was right between the two fielders in the deep

Smuts to Christian, out Caught by Onke Nyaku!! Another one bites the dust. It is the experienced Christian who has to walk back. The ball holds up on the surface, Christian is through his nudge a bit early and the leading edge pops towards mid-wicket, where Nyaku takes the simplest of catches. Jozi Stars slip further as they lose half their side. Christian c Onke Nyaku b Smuts 5(9)

Tahir to Bavuma, FOUR, delicately played! It was fraction short and outside off, Bavuma used the width and pace on offer to collect a boundary, opened the bat face and steered it behind point

Tahir to Bavuma, FOUR, much needed boundary for Bavuma and his team. That might get him going. Too straight from Tahir - on middle and leg, Bavuma moves inside the line, kneels down and sweeps it backward of square

Tahir to Sinethemba Qeshile, out Bowled!! Bowled 'im! There is no respite for the Jozi Stars. After having been tormented by the fast bowlers they have to deal with Tahir, who strikes with his third ball. The slider which skids on and beats Qeshile comprehensively on the inside edge, hits him on the pad before deflecting onto the stumps. Sinethemba Qeshile b Tahir 14(8) [4s-3]

Junior Dala to Sinethemba Qeshile, FOUR, Qeshile is dealing in boundaries. All his runs have come in fours. Short and outside off, Qeshile stands tall and slaps the punch through extra cover. He doesn't even bother to run

Nandre Burger to Sinethemba Qeshile, FOUR, once more sees the space outside off and throws his hands on the drive, the ball beats the diving point fielder and the chasing cover-point fielder

Nandre Burger to Sinethemba Qeshile, FOUR, Qeshile also goes after it with hard hands. Sees the full delivery and slices the drive behind point, luckily for him it went along the ground and in the gap

Nandre Burger to van der Dussen, out Caught by Heino Kuhn!! Poor, very poor from an experienced player. With his side in trouble, the Stars would have wanted van der Dussen to stay on and take them through this tough phase but instead he throws it away. A scrambled seam full delivery outside off, van der Dussen drives and does not bother to keep it down, hits it uppishly to the left of mid-off and Kuhn takes a tumbling catch. van der Dussen c Heino Kuhn b Nandre Burger 4(4) [4s-1]

Nandre Burger to van der Dussen, FOUR, edged and four! van der Dussen saw the width and threw the kitchen sink at it, the outside edge flies quickly and over the leaping fielder at slip. He flashed and flashed hard to get that elevation to beat the cordon

Junior Dala to Gayle, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That is some way to respond. 146.4kph full delivery close to yorker length, Gayle was late very late in bringing his bat down, the ball beats him and makes a mess of the stumps. Both leg and middle-stump were lying flat on the ground. Gayle moved his feet away on seeing the length so that he can protect his toes and the bat did not come down quickly enough. Gayle b Junior Dala 11(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

Junior Dala to Gayle, SIX, that's out of the park. Lands on one of the roofs and bounces over. Short and outside off, Gayle had the readymade width to pounce and he gives it his all, thrashes the cut over point and the umpires have called for a replacement

Chris Morris to R Hendricks, out Caught by Ben Dunk!! Gone! It was only a matter of time. Morris kept probing in the corridor and the surface was also assisting. This one cuts back in and takes the inside edge as Hendricks looks to drive away from the body. Simple catch to Ben Dunk. Hendricks once more played outside the line as he did not expect the ball to dart back in. R Hendricks c Ben Dunk b Chris Morris 6(11) [4s-1]

Nandre Burger to R Hendricks, FOUR, searches for the inswinger and slips in a low full toss down leg, Hendricks ensures it is put away, tickles it off the cue-end and gets it fine enough to beat the deep fielder

Chris Morris to Gayle, FOUR, streaky! Angled across off and there was a hint of movement as well, Gayle softens his grip on the point of impact and the outside edge runs away to the left of the slip fielder, third man dived but in vain
