GREENOCK CRICKET CLUB's INNINGS
Code:
0.1  Matt Harvie to Adam Lockhart-Krause, Gorgeous square drive, placed perfectly past point. There isn't a lot of power in the shot though, and third man cuts it off while the batsmen run hard for three.  (3) 
0.2  Matt Harvie to Tim McIntosh, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run.  (0) 
0.3  Matt Harvie to Tim McIntosh, Good shot, bad placement. Won't get a run for that.  (0) 
0.4  Matt Harvie to Tim McIntosh, He tried to go over the top but doesn't connect well. However, it's placed in the gap the ball trickles away for four.  (4) 
0.5  Matt Harvie to Tim McIntosh, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only two.  (2)

RAJASTHAN ROYALS' INNINGS
Code:
0.1  Claude Henderson to Kamran Akmal, Low full toss, the batsman drives it down the ground for six! Great shot! The bowler is distraught!  (6) 
0.2  Claude Henderson to Kamran Akmal, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
0.3  Claude Henderson to Kamran Akmal, I don't think he'll be attempting any more bouncers after that. The batsman has hooked that away magnificently for six!  (6) 
0.4  Claude Henderson to Kamran Akmal, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2) 
0.5  Claude Henderson to Kamran Akmal, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two.  (2)

After many misfires, Kamran Akmal finally got going and played a brilliant knock for the Rajasthan Royals. He smacked Rory Kleinveldt, Charl Langeveldt and JP Duminy around. He was well-accompanied by Mahesh Rawat, who had been given the duties of keeping the wickets in this match. Perhaps, that's what freed up Kamran Akmal from the pressure, and brought back his form?

Cape Cobras win! They've registered a massive win over the favourites, and it's all because of Andrew Puttick's late-order brilliance. An unbeaten 21-ball 49, which pushes his team over the line, registers the points, and secures the top-spot in the pool standings.

Code:
Rajasthan Royals   187/8 in 20.0 overs. 
Cape Cobras        188/6 in 20.0 overs. 

Cape Cobras won by 4 wickets

Man of the match: Andrew Puttick (Cape Cobras)

Wasn't expecting us to win anything, but we really should have beaten Hague after putting up such a good fight against the Cobras.

0.5  Rory Kleinveldt to Ed Joyce, He's edged it straight back to the bowler! Out!

E. Joyce                     c & b Kleinveldt
Runs : 6       Balls : 4         S/R : 150

0.6  Rory Kleinveldt to Dawid Malan, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3)

Eoin Morgan     9 (4b)
Charl Langeveldt    1-0-11-1


2.1  Rory Kleinveldt to Eoin Morgan, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavilion...  (4)

3.3  Charl Langeveldt to Andrew Strauss, He's absolutely NAILED that one, but the man in the deep makes a fantastic save, pushing the ball back in just in time! His teammate picks up the ball and hurls it in and they save a run, good teamwork.  (3)

4.4  Rory Kleinveldt to Owais Shah, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
4.5  Rory Kleinveldt to Owais Shah, Byes, that's gonna be a four! That's poor wicket-keeping.  (4)

Middlesex Panthers piled up 168 for the loss of 7 wickets at the end of their innings. A valiant 39-ball 49 from Andrew Strauss, and a lionhearted 57 off 45 deliveries from Owais Shah took the Middlesex Panthers to a decent score, in spite of their batting woes.
JP Duminy was the pick of the bowlers, with 2 wickets to his name at an economy of only 4.67. He dismissed Owais Shah, and Tyron Henderson in quick succession in the latter part of the Middlesex Panthers' innings, to stifle them from getting a bigger total.

12.2  Shaun Udal to Graeme Smith, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
12.3  Shaun Udal to Graeme Smith, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run.  (0) 
12.4  Shaun Udal to Graeme Smith, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2) 
12.5  Shaun Udal to Graeme Smith, Short and pulled away for a single  (2) 
12.6  Shaun Udal to Graeme Smith, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0)

13.4  Steven Finn to JP Duminy, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0)

15.2  Steven Finn to JP Duminy, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0)

JP Duminy, take a bow! What an innings! He has scored an unbeaten hundred, and taken the Cape Cobras straight into the final!
JP Duminy was the pick of the bowlers in the first innings, and he was the pick of the batsmen during the chase. Batting alongside Graeme Smith, he scored an unbeaten 100 off 63 deliveries. Graeme Smith, himself, has played a brilliant knock of 70 from 50 balls, and remained unbeaten.
Middlesex Panthers will be completely heartbroken. Their batsmen put up a good total, but their bowlers just weren't up to the mark to face the brilliance that was produced by JP Duminy, and Graeme Smith.

Code:
Middlesex Panthers   168/7 in 20.0 overs. 
Cape Cobras          172/1 in 19.0 overs. 

Cape Cobras won by 9 wickets (with 6 balls remaining)

Man of the match: JP Duminy (Cape Cobras)
@Akshay. @AliB/@Ashutosh.
