    1.4 cleans him up with a sizzler! Full, fast and right at the stumps. de Kock tries to flick it away but this one is not as full as the ball he dispatched. Continues with the stroke anyway and sees the ball whistle past the bat before thundering into off stump. That was bowled at almost 146 kph! Rauf is pumped and this is just the start the Unicorns would have been after! 9/1
    5.5 gets rid of Nauman with a snorter! Dug into the track on off stump and this one rears up on Nauman. Looks to be a cross-seam delivery that might have landed on the seam and hence, the extra bounce. Nauman tries to fend it away but can do nothing as the ball loops up off the shoulder of the bat and nestles into the keeper's gloves! 53/2
    11.5 gone this time! Slower delivery banged into the track just outside off. Jayasuriya advances and then has to reach out because the ball is so slow. Mistimes it completely and spoons it up to deep backward square leg, where Plunkett makes no mistake! 100/3
    17.4 holes out to deep mid wicket! Another off-pace delivery on a back of a length just outside off. Klaasen tries to clear the longer deep mid wicket fence but this ball is so slow that it meddles with his timing. Shanks it in the end and Tajinder completes an easy catch on the fence! 154/4

    4.6 chops it on! Quicker and flatter just outside off. This might have been fuller than the previous deliveries to Wade as well. He tries to sit back and pull it away but because the ball hurries onto him, he can only drag it back onto his stumps! 57/2
    3.2 oh dear, what has happened here?! Slower delivery on a back of a length on leg stump. Allen tips it into the leg side and is canter across to the other end. But then, the fielder senses an opportunity for a run-out at Allen's end. Fires in a throw and Allen, in response, tries to plonk his bat in. The only problem is that the bat sticks in the turf and he is well short of his ground as the ball hits the stumps. A freak dismissal, and slightly unlucky, you could say. But had Allen hared across to the other end, he would still be batting! 42/1
    9.6 picks out long on to perfection! Given a hint of air on a length on middle and leg, and Stoinis' eyes light up. He comes down the track, looking to clear long on but gets too close to the ball. Cannot generate the elevation he requires and arrows it straight to Klaasen! 86/3
    10.2 Finch bites the dust too! Looped up outside off and Finch cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it. He is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball, though, and has to reach out. Spoons it straight to Klaasen at long off, who does the rest! 86/4
    13.4 Anderson perishes next ball! Dug into the track just outside off. Anderson tries to muscle it over deep mid wicket but does not quite get the timing he is after. Might have been cramped for room a little too as he hits it straight down Hetmyer's throat! 112/5
    17.4 Shadab departs now and that could be the game! Slow and banged into the track outside off. Shadab walks across his stumps, trying to access the leg side. The extra bounce, though, causes his all sorts of problems. Shadab cannot get on top of it and gloves it through to de Kock eventually! 142/9
    14.6 taken this time! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Tajinder tries to repeat what Shadab did a couple of balls ago but he, as opposed to Shadab, does not have much pace to work with. Leaps up to generate pace and power but only ends up feathering it through to de Kock! 121/6
    16.1 straight up in the air and Klaasen pouches it! Back of a length delivery on off stump that seems to hold in the surface and bounce a tad extra. Bishnoi tries to be too ambitious and tries to biff it over long on. In the end, he skies it and Klaasen at long on does the rest! 129/7
    17.2 gloves it to de Kock and the Unicorns are eight down! Sharp back of a length delivery on leg stump that climbs up onto Plunkett. He is very late on the stroke and the ball loops up off his glove. de Kock settles under it and completes the easiest of catches! 141/8

    17.5 what a stunner by de Kock to seal the deal! The Orcas win at a canter in the end - by 35 runs! Back of a length delivery outside off stump. le Roux goes feeling for it and nicks it. The ball flies to de Kock's right, who flings out his right mitt and plucks it out of thin air! What a way to end the game and the Orcas have now won two out of two! 142/10
