Qalandars vs Deccan Gladiators, 12th Match, Group B - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Rampaul to Asif Ali, out Caught by Sharafuddin Ashraf!! Brilliant catch. His teammates rush to congratulate him as Sharafuddin pulls off a blinder running in from fine leg. Goes high in the air off a thick top-edge as the bouncer gets too big on Asif's pull. Wicketkeeper Shahzad also goes for the catch which would've been in Sharafuddin's peripheral vision. But he runs in and then dives forward with both hands to grab it. Asif Ali c Sharafuddin Ashraf b Rampaul 2(4)

Rampaul to Sohail Akhtar, FOUR, low full toss just outside off, was almost a yorker. But Akhtar still manages to slice it away to the boundary. Splits backward point and short third man. Pollard applauds Rampaul though because it was a good delivery

Rampaul to Sohail Akhtar, FOUR, full ball on middle and leg, Akhtar shuffles across and whips it to the long leg boundary

Anwar Ali to Sohail Akhtar, SIX, another one sent into the stands. Slower short ball, sits up for Akhtar who waits on it nicely and whacks the pull deep into the midwicket boundary

Anwar Ali to Sohail Akhtar, SIX, what a way to get to fifty! Back of a length outside off, Akhtar flat-bats it over long-off. Not the easiest of shots to play

Zahoor Khan to Tom Banton, out Lbw!! He wasn't anticipating this. Full, straight and normal pace from Zahoor. Banton is looking for a reverse-sweep, probably looking for another slower one. Gets hit on the pad. Impact looked questionable, but the umpire was quick in raising his finger. They're checking for a no-ball now. Definitely looks close on the replay but the third umpire goes with the bowler. Tom Banton lbw b Zahoor Khan 36(20) [4s-5 6s-1]

Zahoor Khan to Tom Banton, FOUR, continues with the tactic of digging his slower balls into the pitch, Banton waits on it and times the pull beautifully

Zahoor Khan to Sohail Akhtar, FOUR, short of length into the body, Akhtar pulls it through midwicket. Was the slower one and Akhtar waited on it nicely

Tahir to Tom Banton, SIX, how about this for a shot! How has he got this for six? Back of a length, sliding through on middle, and Banton nonchalantly punches off the back foot over midwicket and clears the boundary comfortably. RIdiculous shot

Tahir to Sohail Akhtar, FOUR, full toss on off, Akhtar pumps it down the ground and manages to beat long-off too

Narine to Sohail Akhtar, SIX, those wrists in play again. Generates amazing power off them. Full on middle and leg, Akhtar whips it away for six over midwicket

Narine to Sohail Akhtar, wide, he sees Akhtar making room and bowls this wide of off. Has gone too wide

Zahoor Khan to Sohail Akhtar, FOUR, what a shot, what wrists! Length ball on middle, Akhtar whips it over square leg

Zahoor Khan to Tom Banton, FOUR, short of length wide of off, Banton drags the pull between long-on and deep midwicket

Tahir to Sohail Akhtar, SIX, another one in the slot. The googly this time but it doesn't have room to turn as it's so full. Akhtar makes room and pumps it over wide long-off

Tahir to Sohail Akhtar, SIX, flighted by Tahir, and he bowls it right in the slot for Akhtar who hammers it down the ground

Anwar Ali to Sohail Akhtar, FOUR, low full toss outside off, slaps it through extra cover

Anwar Ali to Tom Banton, FOUR, overpitched outside off, Banton smears it through the covers

Narine to Tom Banton, FOUR, outswinger outside off, Banton smashes it through extra cover. It was full enough for him and there's a lovely flourish of the hands

Narine to Tom Banton, FOUR, he has hit this reverse-sweep like a rocket. Creams it from outside leg stump over point. Absolute skimmer from Banton

Narine to Sharjeel Khan, out Bowled!! Slightly unlucky here. Drags the pull off a thick under-edge onto his foot and then it rolls back onto the stumps. The length wasn't short enough though this time. It's also an away-swinger from Narine. Sharjeel Khan b Narine 5(5) [4s-1]

Narine to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR, short ball at the stumps, pulled away to the midwicket boundary
