Super Smash T20 2023/24

[NYRB]

Great 2nd over from Bracewell, and just the 2 off.

 

[NYRB]

Required run rate over 10 an over for the Kings now, its getting tough. Firebirds have squeezed them back well here.

 

[Plugger35]

Hay and Latham dismissed in the same over from Bracewell has swung the match the Firebirds way.

 

[NYRB]

Standings after Game 20, Wellington cement top spot

 

[NYRB]

Northern Brave v Auckland Aces tomorrow. Auckland have a chance to win to chase top spot at the Bay Oval.

 

[NYRB]

Game 21:



Teams:

Northern Knights (Playing XI): Henry Cooper, Katene Clarke, Jeet Raval(c), Joe Carter, Brett Hampton, Peter Bocock(w), Scott Kuggeleijn, Tim Pringle, Kristian Clarke, Frederick Walker, Neil Wagner

Auckland (Playing XI): Sean Solia, George Worker, Cole Briggs, Robert ODonnell(c), Cam Fletcher(w), William O Donnell, Ryan Harrison, Danru Ferns, Lockie Ferguson, Louis Delport, Ben Lister

Northern Knights have won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[NYRB]

Northern Brave starting off slowly just the 1 off the 1st over in their 6th game.

 

[NYRB]

Auckland with 3 wickets in the powerplay on top early

 

[NYRB]

Katene Clarke was in dream land there. Never a run there.

 

[Plugger35]

This is looking like a low total for the Northern Brave unless their middle and lower order can produce a big recovery.

 

[NYRB]

Lockie Ferguson with figures of 2/7 off 2.0 overs.

 

[NYRB]

Ferguson is a level higher than the Super Smash for me. He should be with the international team right now.

 

[NYRB]

Joe Carter with back-to-back sixes off Delport . Lovely hitting.

 

[NYRB]

Ball gone through the gates outside the ground. It might be stuck in the gutter.

 

[NYRB]

Nup its been found.

 

[NYRB]

18 off Delports 3rd over.

 

[NYRB]

9 off W O'Donnells 1st over.

 

[NYRB]

W O'Donnell with a dolly . Got to catch those as a professional cricketer.

 

[NYRB]

Hampton departs and now the Northen Brave are 95/5 with a fairly long tail .

 

[NYRB]

Replacement wicket keeper comes in at number 7 Bocock, who replaced Siefert for this game.

 

[NYRB]

Ben Lister with a good shout for LBW off Bocock. Umpire gave it a good look.

 

[NYRB]

The question for me is can Bocock bat?

 

[NYRB]

Joe Carter top scored for Northern Brave in the corresponding game last season at this ground against the same opposition, so fair to say he does like playing this team.

 

[NYRB]

Can Frederick Walker bat? he is in now at 8

 

[NYRB]

if your the Brave you want Joe Carter to face as many deliveries as possible.
