Haris Rauf to Andries Gous, SIX, finally connects with the big hit! Slower delivery on a length, Gous swings with the spin back into the RHB and clears backward square leg. Short has a word with his bowler before the final ball. He has another discussion as well

Xavier Bartlett to Obus Pienaar, FOUR, scooped! Low full toss from Xavier Bartlett, Obus Pienaar moves across and gets under it, sends it fine past short fine leg and gets a crucial boundary

Xavier Bartlett to Andries Gous, SIX, tipped over the bar! The back of the hand slower delivery, Gous waits and lofts. Couch jumped and tried to grab it overhead but he didn't time the jump perfectly so ended up fingertipping it over the rope

Ghulam Mudassar to Andries Gous, SIX, oh showed the off-cutter in the load up before releasing the ball and Andries Gous said thank you very much for revealing and smacked this slog over mid-wicket. The moment it sat up on a length, Andries Gous was ready for some mid-wicket clearance

Brody Couch to Andries Gous, SIX, handsome back foot pull. Let this shortish delivery come to him, waited for the ball to come and belted it high over deep mid-wicket

Brody Couch to Nikhil Chaudhary, out Caught by Haris Rauf!! Oh he's mistimed the reverse scoop and holes out to short third man. Brody Couch got this shortish ball to jump extra than Nikhil Chaudhary expected so it went off the splice of the bat and the fielder moved to the left to take an easy catch. End of a wonderful 59-run stand. Nikhil Chaudhary c Haris Rauf b Brody Couch 32(19) [4s-2 6s-2]

Brody Couch to Andries Gous, 1 run, short of length delivery on the off stump, Gous taps it to point and gets a well constructed fifty. Teammates applaud and he raises the bat to the skies as well.

Haris Rauf to Nikhil Chaudhary, SIX, and now he's whipped this out of sight over backward square leg. Wonder why Haris Rauf is offering pace when it's not quite short. Nikhil Chaudhary just uses his wrists and sends it behind square

Haris Rauf to Nikhil Chaudhary, 2 runs, nudged to the on-side and they get a couple of runs

Haris Rauf to Nikhil Chaudhary, SIX, oh shot! Length delivery at pace, Nikhil Chaudhary steps out, lofts and even poses for the cameras after giving the high elbow to the shot. Walks towards his partner holding the pose and then does some glove-love

Xavier Bartlett to Nikhil Chaudhary, FOUR, oh premeditated scoop as there is no fine leg. Just walked across the stumps very early, Xavier Bartlett tried to push it wide of off but Nikhil Chaudhary still managed to get under it and send it to the fence

Hassan Khan to Andries Gous, SIX, he's flicked the switch so well and forced a meeting at the bowler's end. Full delivery from Hassan Khan, Andries Gous advances, gets under it and smashes it over long-off

Hassan Khan to Andries Gous, SIX, now rocks back to pull off the back foot! Lovely shot despite being rushed. Looks like the spray has definitely helped him get a tighter grip and the last two shots were quite confident. Flatter delivery angling in, Gous powers it over mid-wicket

Hassan Khan to Andries Gous, FOUR, and he belts this down the ground. Went back to get under this flatter delivery and smashed it over the bowler's head, long-off tries to cut it off to the right but doesn't get there in time

Ghulam Mudassar to Nikhil Chaudhary, 1 run, pushed along the ground to deep cover

Ghulam Mudassar to Nikhil Chaudhary, FOUR, would have been a wide he had let this pass down the leg-side, but Nikhil Chaudhary spots that there is no fine leg, so he decides to tickle it fine and gets the boundary. Ghulam Mudassar puts his arm up to his captain in apology for bowling a poor ball and Short immediately pats him on the shoulder

Matthew Short to Mark Chapman, out Caught by Xavier Bartlett!! Chapman holds out trying to go big. The off-break from Short, grips and holds on the surface to induce a false shot. Chapman is down the track trying to get to the pitch of the ball and clear long-off. He ends up slicing it and the ball goes straight up in the air for Bartlett to settle under. Takes it comfortably. Mark Chapman c Xavier Bartlett b Matthew Short 17(13) [6s-1]

Brody Couch to Mark Chapman, SIX, short again and is put away. Chapman shifts his weight onto the back foot and pulls it in front of square. Goes flat and over the ropes for a six

Ghulam Mudassar to Mitchell Owen, out Caught by Finn Allen!! Finally, Unicorns have managed to hold onto a catch. Owen doesn't get lucky on the third time. The cutter from Mudassar made it hard for Owen to go through with the line. He ends up slicing it and the ball skies towards long-off. Finn Allen takes a good catch just inside the ropes. A huge wicket for Unicorns. Mudassar celebrates by pointing his finger at someone, seems like there was plan to get Owen dismissed. Mitchell Owen c Finn Allen b Ghulam Mudassar 39(20) [4s-3 6s-3]

Brody Couch to Mitchell Owen, 2 runs, Owen heaves the length delivery angling into him to the right of mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep runs across, dives and saves two

Xavier Bartlett to Mitchell Owen, SIX, six more to Owen. You cannot bowl there to him. Fuller length delivery outside off, Owen clears his front foot and thumps it over mid-off. Clears the ropes with ease

Haris Rauf to Andries Gous, FOUR, excellent shot. Half-volley on middle, Gous brings his bat straight as an arrow and drills it past Rauf. Mid-on and mid-off are just spectators, who watch the ball race away

Haris Rauf to Andries Gous, FOUR, Gous gets off the mark with a boundary. Gets a half-volley outside off, Gous drills it through covers and collects four

Haris Rauf to Steven Smith, out Bowled!! Rauf says ill do it myself. Doesn't want his fielders help with all the drops that has gone so far. This was a yorker on leg-stump, Smith goes a long way across to scoop and misses. Rauf says, you miss and I hit. Much needed breakthrough for Unicorns to regroup a unit. Steven Smith b Haris Rauf 3(8)

Ghulam Mudassar to Steven Smith, 1 run, hat-trick of drops for Unicorns. This time Sanjay at deep square leg. The hardest of all catches as Sanjay had to cover some ground and dive forward to catch it. He does everything, gets his hands under the ball, but fails to hold onto it. Smith heaves it to the leg-side and gets a reprieve

Ghulam Mudassar to Mitchell Owen, 1 run, another catch goes down. This time from Bartlett. He mistimed his jump and sticks his right hand up to try and grab it, the ball hits his hand and falls to ground. Owen reaches out for the full, wide delivery outside off and tries to clear mid-on. Doesn't get the elevation and gives another chance to SFU, who don't grab it

Haris Rauf to Mitchell Owen, FOUR, right of the toe end but still manages to get it to the fence. Was a hard length delivery from Rauf. Owen lofts it straight back over the bowlers head. Mistimes it and mid-on tries to give chase. The short straight boundary doesn't help the fielders cause

Brody moves back and tries to catch it over his head, gets a finger tip and shells it. Bartlett is shocked
