Stallions have a seriously under-par total here. A par score would have been 170 at least. They had a poor start, losing three in the Powerplay, were then tied up through the middle overs by Asela Gunaratne, before Dale Steyn, Nuwan PRadeep and Vishwa Fernando bowled well at the tail, to prevent any late bursts of runs.
Tuskers should back themselves to get these runs, but they do have a decent Stallions attack to contend with. Shinwari and Hasaranga will have to take wickets if Stallions ware to have a shot here.
We'll be back shortly with the chase.

Pradeep to Viyaskanth, OUT, yorker, and he bowls him this time. Viyaskanth tried only to dig this out, but is a little late on the shot and the ball clatters into middle and off.

Pradeep to Viyaskanth, FOUR, flickead beautifully off his pads. That is another attempted yorker, but he hasn't nailed it, and it's overpitched. Viyaskanth gets bat through the line of the ball, turns his wrists and sends it skimming to the deep square leg boundary

Fernando to Viyaskanth, 1 leg bye, length ball on leg stump, which thuds into the front pad. There's an appeal, but that's pitched outside leg I think. They take a leg bye as it dribbles away on the offside

Fernando to Usman Shinwari, OUT, pulled into the hands of fine leg. Stallions seriously at risk of not using their overs. This is a short ball into the body. Shinwari hacked hard at that, but doesn't connect, and Nuwan Pradeep runs in from the rope to take a smart catch

Pradeep to Usman Shinwari, FOUR, full toss again, thigh-high this time, and Shinwari clears the front leg to thump this back over the bowler's head for four. He swung very hard at that. Almost a no-ball for height too
17.5
W
Pradeep to Shoaib Malik, OUT, This is exactly what Stallions couldn't afford though. This is a full toss on middle stump, which Malik tries to get under and flick over the deep square leg boundary. But he doesn't connect. Gurbaz is out there on the boundary, and he runs across to pouch it safely. Stallions down to tailenders now

Pradeep to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, Stallions need a few more of these. Slower-ball bouncer, but it doesn't get higher than waist-high, and it's also on the legside. Malik swivels and gets bat on it to get it fine of fine leg for four

Steyn to Usman Shinwari, FOUR, thick edge, and a boundary to the third man boundary. This is short of a length outside off stump. SHinwari tries to fend that away to the off stump, but it takes the edge and whizzes past the keeper.
