2.4 to NJ O'Brien, short ball on leg and he mistimes the pull and he top edged that to mid wicket an presents an easy catch. 9/1 4.3 to GC Wilson, short of length and he cuts it but only succeeds in presenting a simple catch to Chibhabha at point. 14/2
Prosper Utseya	9.1	0	29	2	3.16	40	2	1	1	0
5.6 to WTS Porterfield, it's going wrong for the Irish here earlier on, flighted on off and he tries to hit that too hard and the catcher on the 15yards takes a comfortable catch around waist height. 17/3 13.4 to AC Botha, flighted outside off and beaten with the turn he is out of his crease and well stump by Taibu. 49/4

Keith Dabengwa	6	1	17	3	2.83	29	2	0	0	0
37.1 to DT Johnston, he came down the track and smashed that in the 1st delivery of the powerplay and is skied to Price at long off. 113/7 37.4 to KJ O'Brien, a slog that is mistimed and he is caught at square leg guess by who? Taibu he ran for 30 mtres to take that between two fielders when O'Brien skied it he called it his good job.. 115/8 45.6 to WK McCallan, flatter and quick, McCallan misses with an attempted sweep shot and it hits his pads andDabengwa appeals and Tiffin agrees with him and out. 147/9
