Akeal Hosein to Hetmyer, out Caught by Pollard!! Another one bites the dust! That was there to be hit but Hetmyer has holed out! He was looking out of sorts tonight - perhaps the pressure of the big game has got the better of him. On the shorter side outside off, away from the reach of Hetmyer. He reaches out and goes for a flat-batted stroke but only manages to toe-end it towards long-on. Pollard is safe as houses. He takes the catch and then looks towards the crowd. It would have been better had Hetmyer tried to hit through the line rather then trying to hit against it. Hetmyer c Pollard b Akeal Hosein 4(13)

Akeal Hosein to Shai Hope, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Akeal Hosein gets rid of Shai Hope with a ripper! Shai Hope was brilliant throughout this season with the bat but has failed to make an impact in the final. He was struggling for rhythm and finally perishes. Honestly, he couldn't have done much about this beauty. It's drifting in initially and it lands on a back of a length on middle and leg, Shai Hope tries to stay leg-side of it but the ball turns away venomously to open him up in his stance. A half-hearted push from Shai Hope but he gets beaten all ends up as the ball goes on to crash into the off-stump. That's an off-spinner's dream dismissal and Akeal Hosein is pumped up.
