00:00oh it just goes flying at the second slip region and third cannot cut it off first boundary of the
00:18t20 it's gone through it's just gone through trying to work it on the onside it's the pads
00:28and into the stops and South Africa have their first breakthrough create some with all area to
00:34try and score and in fact what he's done is he has stepped on his own stumps that's deliberate
00:42that's very t20 like just waiting a little more fraction more and just elevating it over slip
00:50gives a bit of room and it's cost him back of a length not really short enough and over extra
00:57cover nicely played by Bennett that's nasty play this time through the cover region same area this
01:05one of the front foot but good batting from Bennett got him that is a wonderful delivery bit of in
01:13drift and then grips and turns and Dundee's a means comes to an end good first wicket in this
01:23trying a series for Peter pulled away and that's nicely played just on a link from Bosch you get
01:33the feeling that seconda Raza is in good touch shot but has he got enough has he got enough no he doesn't
01:43he's taken on the shorter of the two boundaries but it's still quite large nonetheless and Brian Bennett
01:55doesn't have enough on that he perishes no issue high standards they've had with the ball oh big shot
02:04yeah it was only a matter of time before Ryan Bell took on the leg spinner to the shorter side he is so
02:14strong there straight that's big it's coming towards us second maximum in the innings first from Raza
02:24done change of bat has what and this is so important as well in the context of setting up a competitive
02:34challenging total force of Africa because this this time towards the offside all dropped reverse coming
02:45that it was hit flat and it's just popped out this is on the boundary at X recover not able to get
02:55himself into a good enough position to take this one problem over and a half of play oh he's got it
03:01right from the middle of the bat straight into that mid wicket fence for another maximum of this is the
03:09over that they're looking to cash out on swing going to the fielder right down his throat and he's got
03:17Ryan ball of the first ball of this over that would have a second look for sure that full toss seemed
03:27like a bubble waste yeah it's a brilliant straightaway apology came by and also comes in the 50 for
03:37Sikandar Raza 15th t20 international 50 for the caption it's mostly Kiva he's sky that high in the air
03:48and it's been taken that's a very good catch running in from long off and kept his eyes got in a good
03:54position very quickly oh that's played straight to the fielder again that should be out on a hat-trick
04:03George Lin there gets his third and Tony Mnonga is out oh it's got a wicked second delivery band is short
04:15Pretorius looks at the queue end of his bet but it's nowhere near the middle and that's the ideal
04:21stock for Zimbabwe yeah Polly you were talking about trying to get themselves in he hasn't given
04:29him a chance to do that and got our Luandre Pretorius has looked to get after him straight
04:35away and this one maybe that's nasty play a little bit of shape nothing wrong with that length knew
04:44better at the crease give it a chance to shape pulls it away and gets it behind square just the
04:50one bounce and that's nicely played by Riza Hendrix helping it on his way nicely played given some
04:58width oh it's a big boundary they're just the one bounce majorly disappointed but it's the extra
05:09bounce of Nagaraba that does for Riza Hendrix I look at the dismissal and I look at the previous one of
05:18Luandre Pretorius and I wonder if there's just a lack of pace helped on its way that's a wonderful
05:28way to get off the mark yes it goes the whole distance so maximum to finish the third over
05:33South Africa 24 for to continue to be watchful or maybe not that length is what he's after it's
05:40too straight and he decides to go downtown and executes well goes for the ramp it was in position early
05:51Masurabani didn't adjust and that's beautifully played wonderful way to finish the fifth over
05:55South Africa South Africa South Africa now 37 for two big shot is it big enough Ryan bull hello good bye what's it going to dissent
06:08the grass embankment this time he gets bad on it quick hands fast hands puts the pace on the ball and picks up four
06:17and that's been smashed that's been absolutely hammered nicely played no risk smart effective tactical
06:36approach when they come in to play their first game big shot gives himself room oh my it's hit the top of
06:44the roof it's gone on to Tonga Gara the street behind that big building to end the over at 78 for three
06:51this is the last ball of the previous over how good a hit is that he's just cleared the front leg and
06:58purposely gone forward second part of this match once again this time flatter and a maximum seems like
07:09he's holding a bit more in his farm oh that's very straight gun barrel straight that's another maximum
07:18these three deliveries have completely changed the complexion of the chase and again this will be no
07:26different hundred up for South Africa and what a massive over 25 runs coming off it it's 103 for three
07:34goes big again but this time he doesn't have distance four men after it or collision expected water catch
07:43what a catch that is going right through England our guess is third still a bit of drama left in the game
07:54that should do it just a single and South Africa get to a hundred and forty two and get their first points
08:05in the Australian nation
