Transcript
00:00I think the Pakistani team could be keen to get a win under the belt and get themselves back up, I think, in the top five as the standings are at the moment.
00:08So they'll be definitely wanting to come out all guns blazing tonight.
00:12Yeah, they're definitely still within reach of finals, but they do need to win tonight.
00:17We saw the earlier game today.
00:19There was plenty of runs on board for the Stars, so this wicket is good for batting.
00:25It looks pretty dry out there, doesn't it, Steve?
00:27It'll be really interesting what happens towards the back end of this tournament and how this wicket holds up.
00:32Second to go.
00:33Get the guns going.
00:37Yeah, well bowled.
00:38Nice, good length ball to start off with.
00:41And Kahn comfortably in behind.
00:43Pretty happy just to have a bit of a look at the first one.
00:46Ferguson Neil into Kahn.
00:47This one's uppish.
00:48Got him!
00:49Oh, and it's gone straight to short cover.
00:52Kahn very, very disappointed.
00:53Unfortunately, he's going to have to make an early exit,
00:55but the Renegades, they're pretty delighted.
00:59They've got the early breakthrough that they were looking for.
01:02Samard comes to the wicket a little bit earlier than he was planning to.
01:06This time's a bit fuller, and he's knocked him over.
01:09Beautiful bowling.
01:11Nefei's on his way.
01:14His lies probably lit up a little bit with that fuller delivery.
01:16Thought this is my chance to get off strike,
01:18and unfortunately, he has to exit the pavilion, exit towards the pavilion,
01:23and all of a sudden, Pakistan are two for two.
01:28Yes, not exactly what the Pakistani side are looking for.
01:33Mohamed Fikh is the next batter to come out with a lot of pressure.
01:36Super quick.
01:38That one's a bit shorter, though, and he has helped it on its way.
01:42That is just what the doctor ordered.
01:43It's headed down to the boundary at square leg for four runs.
01:49I don't think Fikh really knew where that was going, to be honest.
01:53Very unusual shot that was played there.
01:57And again.
01:58This time he's gone aerial.
01:59It's very flat, but it's also really long.
02:02That's six.
02:02Great shot.
02:04Beautiful shot there by Fikh.
02:06Straight downtown.
02:07Clears the boundary.
02:10Just takes that pressure off a little bit here for the Pakistani A side.
02:13It's been a tidy over so far.
02:16This one's flighted up.
02:20Inside edge there, but it's going to turn out pretty well, and they'll take the four runs.
02:24Both boundaries down that end so far this day have not been deliberate, but that's okay.
02:30It's in the book, as they say.
02:31Might do.
02:34In comes again.
02:35That's a very good delivery.
02:36He's gone up, and he's got him.
02:39LBW.
02:39LBW.
02:41Archer is absolutely delighted.
02:44We've seen a bit of a trend over the last few days, with the most common dismissal being LBW, particularly to the spinners.
02:51And just as Pakistan were starting to get themselves going, they're in trouble with three down now for 34.
02:57This one's short again.
03:00This time he's rocked back on the back foot, and he's gone for four runs.
03:06Beautiful shot by Samad.
03:08He's been patient up until this point, but that probably was a little bit of help yourself there.
03:14Short.
03:15Leg side.
03:16It had hit me all over it.
03:17Oh, boy, he's got that hold of that.
03:21Beautiful shot.
03:22He's got right underneath it.
03:23It's an absolute scoop, and it's gone into the grandstand for a six.
03:27We said we were looking for another gear, and he has delivered with a beautiful six over mid-wicket.
03:32Just a flick of the wrist, wasn't it?
03:34And the horns from the Pakistan crowd play here, straying onto the pads.
03:41And it was just a lot of wrist, wasn't it?
03:43Yes.
03:44We peek again from the airport end.
03:46Catch it.
03:47Oh, what a catch.
03:48And he's got him.
03:50Beautiful catch behind point.
03:53Another bowling change.
03:54Will Sutherland been very proactive with his changes of bowling, and it's working a treat here.
04:00Beautifully taken.
04:01Ollie Peake, certainly talented and all-round cricketer, but as I say, he probably has picked more for his batting,
04:07but he's got the breakthrough that they needed.
04:09Pakistan were just starting to get some momentum, and now all of a sudden they're four down for 55.
04:16In comes Sutherland again.
04:19This time he's given a little bit of width.
04:21Samad's done a great job to keep it down, and it's going to go for four.
04:25Much-needed boundary there for Pakistan.
04:28It's the delight of the Pakistan crowd.
04:30Great hands there by Samad.
04:33Just helped it down to the boundary really well.
04:36In comes Stowe again, and he has on cue.
04:40That one's a little bit too short, and it's gone well over the top.
04:43That is six on most grounds.
04:48No rope required.
04:49That is a beautiful shot.
04:51Samad has gone downtown, and Pakistan regained some momentum.
04:58Yeah, great.
04:59And he has.
05:03It's going to go all the way again.
05:06What a prediction.
05:08Megan White, she knows her cricket.
05:11Body language expert.
05:13And it is gone for six.
05:17And Pakistan power along now to four for 77.
05:22Samad, 45 off 31.
05:25He's wriggling along.
05:27Good pace here.
05:28I was giving a bit of a...
05:30giving him...
05:30Archer.
05:31Yeah.
05:32He's gone big again.
05:33There is a fielder out there.
05:34Has he picked the gap?
05:36Oh, it's been tapped back again.
05:38I'm not sure he's going to go.
05:39He has.
05:40Great fielding.
05:41Great fielding.
05:43Excellent work there.
05:45Archer appreciative.
05:47Thought it was going to go all the way for a moment.
05:49Me too.
05:50Didn't quite get as much on that one.
05:55He retains the strike.
05:56Get back on strike.
05:58Sutherland again.
05:59Shot.
06:00And he's been very well collected there.
06:02He's picked a slight slower ball, I think,
06:04and he's hit it straight down the ground for four runs.
06:07The two straight fielders had absolutely no chance there
06:09just because he's timed it so well.
06:12And he rushes on to 60.
06:14He's in a mood.
06:16I don't think it matters over in particular.
06:19Again.
06:19Oh, that's a good shot.
06:21And he has gone big.
06:23It is a big six.
06:25One of the NT staff nearly taking the catch on the boundary there.
06:30That one was in the slot.
06:31Archer's been bowling really good areas,
06:33but that one was a little bit more hittable,
06:36and he's picked it up very quickly.
06:39It's been a 20 cricket.
06:40That one's a wide.
06:41Yeah, again, they're just dawdling through.
06:43I'm not sure it's going to make it to the boundary.
06:44I think it will.
06:45Fortunately, it has because they weren't really running that quickly,
06:49and that's going to hurt them after a big six down the ground.
06:53Oh.
06:54It was actually quite well bowled, I reckon.
06:56Oh.
06:56It was definitely hittable.
07:02It's short.
07:02Oh, well bowled.
07:04It's high.
07:04It's going to be safe.
07:06It's going to plug.
07:07No, it's going to run.
07:07He's hoping it's going to go for four,
07:08and it is going to run on.
07:09Great shot.
07:10A little bit of top spin there.
07:11Beautiful shot over cover.
07:16So he has made the most of the free hit there.
07:19Good batting.
07:20Probably a good opportunity for him to get his scoring going.
07:23Absolutely.
07:24In comes Crone again.
07:26Oh, he's gone big.
07:29The field is coming around.
07:30It's going to be a great catch if he can get there.
07:32Oh, no.
07:33He took the catch, but he had to flick it back in,
07:36and he wasn't able to get it to his teammate.
07:38We've seen it so many times in the big bash in recent times,
07:42but he wasn't able to get it back.
07:45He saved some runs, so that's the tick,
07:47but unfortunately they couldn't turn it into a wicket.
07:52Crone comes in again.
07:53This time it's a full toss, and it is gone a long way.
07:58That's a great shot.
07:59Wells picked up by there.
08:01Picked it up off the hip.
08:03Samard goes to 80 runs now.
08:0686 as the score ticks over.
08:0986 runs off only 50 balls.
08:13Oh, no.
08:13Big...
08:14He makes some room for himself, and that's another full toss.
08:18And a no ball.
08:21Oh, dear.
08:25This is a massive over for Pakistan.
08:32Catching the boundary now, isn't it?
08:34You're thinking...
08:34The over continues.
08:36It's a short ball.
08:37Wow.
08:38And again, he's lucky to get away with it because it was beautifully hit.
08:41They come back for the second.
08:42It's going to be close, but the throw was a little bit wayward.
08:46And the Pakistan crowd are in full voice.
08:48They're loving what they're seeing.
08:49After six...
08:53Oh, a quicker one.
08:55That's a beautiful shot over cover.
08:59What a shot.
09:00That's a shot of the night for me.
09:04That was just in the slot, and he has absolutely smashed it.
09:06Most of his runs have been coming on the leg side.
09:11He has scored around the wicket, but that is a beautiful shot.
09:15Yes.
09:15Dances down the wicket.
09:16Oh, it's going to be out here.
09:17Oh, it's...
09:17And it's going to go...
09:19Very close to all the way.
09:22Great field.
09:23Cut off, and as a result, he is on 99.
09:28He is on 99.
09:30I think for a moment here, the Pakistan crowd might have thought it had enough on it,
09:34but it was a great job by the score...
09:36Sorry, the strikers in the field.
09:39And we have...
09:40Comes peak again.
09:42Oh, he's gone big.
09:45He said, it's my turn, and it's gone all the way.
09:47It's probably a bigger six than we've seen all night tonight.
09:50It's almost hit the Toyota sign.
09:51Oh, what a feeling.
09:52Yes.
09:56Great shot.
09:57I thought Nia...
09:58Niazi might have been just like,
10:00I'll just get a single and get my mate on strike.
10:02Nah.
10:04And he has just tickled it around the corner.
10:07The throw is at the stumps, and he has raised his bat in the air.
10:13And his helmet.
10:14He looks up to the heavens and says, thank you very much.
10:18He is a very happy man.
10:19It's brilliant batting.
10:21He has put on an absolute clinic here today.
10:27He started off a little bit slowly, but then he has been an entertainment machine.
10:31Really, really well batted by Samad.
10:36100 off 56.
10:38Stunning innings.
10:39Started off, like I said, a little bit slow.
10:42Was, you know, maybe criticising and a little bit too hard on his running between wickets.
10:47But, gee, he's come through with the goods at the back end of this innings for the Pakistan Sheehan.
10:51This one's short.
10:54It's been picked up.
10:55I think the field is going to take it.
10:56Great catch.
10:57It has.
10:58It's been taken by Oli Peek on the boundary.
11:01Very comfortable catch.
11:04Niazi has to go.
11:06He's made a valuable contribution along the way, though.
11:09A run of ball 23.
11:11Rotated the strike.
11:14Did a great job for his team.
11:17Thought it was going the distance, but quite a ways short in the end.
11:21And, like you said, great catch down on the boundary by Oli Peek.
11:25It was him junior.
11:29This one's short.
11:31And it's probably not the outcome that Sutherland was looking for,
11:35because it's been worked down behind square for four runs.
11:37Really well picked up there by Sumit.
11:39Slow ball bouncer.
11:40It was very well picked up.
11:42He adjusted to the slower pace.
11:46And he's got full value.
11:49Bowling.
11:50It's been well picked up.
11:52It's not going to reach the gap, though.
11:54They're going to come back for a second run.
11:56It's going to be a close call.
11:58The umpire shakes his head.
12:00Safely home.
12:01Good running.
12:03And that brings the innings to a close.
12:06A fantastic performance by Pakistan Shaheen.
12:10They've ended up with a final score.
12:13They've got a talented batting line-up,
12:14and it starts right at the top, as you said.
12:17So Josh Brown is a big-hitting Queenslander
12:19who's been with the Renegades the last couple of years.
12:22Now calls Melbourne home during the Big Bash season.
12:26And Harry Dixon is as classy as they come.
12:29He's dominated at under-19 level for Australia.
12:33And our first bowler is Shah from the Michael Long End.
12:39He's going to be bowling around the wicket, is he?
12:50He's going to bowl left arm over.
12:54A bit hard to tell from this angle, but...
12:55Here he goes.
12:56He's going to bowl right arm over.
13:01Josh Brown on strike.
13:02Just played off the hip there.
13:09Good start.
13:10Great start.
13:13You would imagine the power play is going to be pretty important here.
13:17Yeah, absolutely, Steve.
13:19But in saying that, I wouldn't have said Pakistan would have been quickly.
13:24Oof.
13:25Great shot.
13:26And he's worked out a way behind point.
13:29That's the start they were looking for.
13:30They needed a boundary early.
13:32After a couple of watchful deliveries, Brown has slapped it away.
13:37And the Renegades' score is underway.
13:41Yeah, just stood nice and tall at the crease and just played that beautiful...
13:44I think he's going to go here.
13:46There he goes.
13:46Oh, great shot.
13:47Straight over the top of mid-off.
13:51Nearly hits the photographer.
13:52And the photographer's got himself an extra job in retrieving the ball.
13:57And Brown scores his second...
13:59Again.
14:02Beautiful shot.
14:03Rocks back.
14:04And he's gone over the onside this time.
14:06Still straight.
14:08And he's hit his third boundary.
14:10He's looking in posing here.
14:11Oh, that comes through at a good pace.
14:20And there's been an appeal.
14:21And he doesn't look that happy.
14:22He doesn't think he hit it.
14:23Oh, dear.
14:24But it doesn't really matter too much because the umpire's put his finger up.
14:30Dixon's very disappointed.
14:32Brown, his body language seems to indicate that he agrees with Dixon.
14:39But that is cricket.
14:43He's done the right thing.
14:45It's full.
14:47Very well bowled.
14:48But it was equally well played by Brown.
14:50I reckon he deliberately just got a little bit of a tickle on that.
14:53I reckon too.
14:55The bowler would probably have a different view and say he's managed to eke out a snick.
15:00But I think...
15:01Sadequat now.
15:01Back in.
15:02Oh, he's spooned the catch.
15:05Too short cover.
15:07He's very disappointed with himself, Lemire.
15:10It's a very good catch by Niazzi.
15:14He did a good job with the bat earlier on in a supporting role.
15:18And now he's followed it up with a nice catch.
15:20And the Renegades now in a little bit of trouble at 2 for 25 with a huge total ahead of them.
15:27Still needing 154 off 99 deliveries.
15:31Bowling now.
15:33Brown said, I've had enough of this.
15:36It's time to go.
15:37And he's gone whack straight over the top.
15:39Overlong off for six.
15:41Great shot.
15:42That is a magnificent cricket shot.
15:47Power's on to 27 off 20.
15:48Still shaking his head, isn't he?
15:50He's just like, he's not happy.
15:51Sadequat comes in.
15:53Oh, could be out here.
15:55Oh.
15:55And he has picked out the fielder.
15:59Very disappointed.
16:00Brasher.
16:01He's going to have to go.
16:03Another straightforward catch.
16:06Pretty much catching practice.
16:08You could see what he was trying to do.
16:09There was plenty of room down there on the boundary.
16:12But unfortunately for the Renegades, he's got to go.
16:17And now they are three.
16:19Here he goes again.
16:20Oh, he's gone big.
16:21He's hit it hard.
16:21He's managed to find the gap, I think.
16:23He's going to beat the two fielders.
16:24It's in between the two.
16:26And it's gone straight into the medical team there.
16:28Hopefully they're okay.
16:29If not, they've got everything they need.
16:31That is four runs.
16:35It's a bit shorter.
16:36He has had a crack at it.
16:37Oh, it could be a chance here.
16:38Unfortunately for him, it's going to go straight to a fielder.
16:42It's been beautifully taken by Feek in the outfield.
16:45A very nice catch.
16:46Again, it was relatively straightforward.
16:48But there was a little bit of pressure with it being the very important wicket of Brown.
16:56Crowd are happy about it.
16:59Oh!
16:59Oh!
17:00And he's got him.
17:01He's knocked him over.
17:02Nair has had his stumps knocked over.
17:07It is a beautiful delivery.
17:08Great delivery.
17:10Looked like it was a little bit quicker.
17:11And now they are in massive trouble at five for 51.
17:20Oh, slower one.
17:22They're looking for the two.
17:24Again, pace off.
17:25Oh, no!
17:25Oh, no!
17:26Oh, no!
17:27Oh, no!
17:27And that is going to spell the end of Oli Peek.
17:33Unfortunately, Oli Peek did the right thing in terms of seniority.
17:38That's a good sacrificial player.
17:40I have seen a lot of young cricketers not do that.
17:43But he had to think about who he was running with.
17:46And he thought, that's Will.
17:48I better make sure that I...
17:50Oh, gosh.
17:51And there it is.
17:52He's gone right through.
17:53Probably beaten by flight that time more so than spin.
17:56That was beautifully bowled.
17:58And now the Renegades are in all sorts of trouble at seven for 54.
18:06The skipper has to go.
18:09He's out for three runs off nine balls.
18:13Involved in a run out.
18:16Full ball.
18:17Oh!
18:17Has been hit straight back to him.
18:20And he is very happy with himself.
18:22Wow.
18:22That's a great catch.
18:23It was a fantastic catch.
18:26It was either catch it or maybe a broken finger.
18:30And he, fortunately for him, he...
18:32Or lose a tooth.
18:34It was very nicely taken.
18:37And it means now that the Renegades are eight for 66.
18:42It's hit pretty well by O'Neal.
18:44Well, it would have been a boundary for sure if he didn't take that.
18:48Shaheen's well on...
18:49This time.
18:52Off stump line.
18:53It's a very nice delivery.
18:55It's up in the air and it's been taken.
18:59The delight of the Shaheen crowd.
19:04Their ninth wicket has gone down for the Renegade.
19:06Those mistakes or...
19:08Oh, and he's bowled him.
19:10And there it is.
19:12Fantastic win for the Pakistan Shaheens.
19:16It's been a comprehensive victory.
19:17They've been bowled out.
19:19The Renegades for 105.
19:2135...
19:2135...
19:2135...
