Los Angeles Knight Riders vs Seattle Orcas, 12th Match, Major League Cricket 2023 - CommentaryLAKR vs SOR, 12th Match, Major League Cricket 2023 - Commentary

Jayasuriya to Rossouw, SIX, Rossouw at his destructive best! He is nimble on his feet and it's a tossed up ball so it allows him to line it up. Heaves it handsomely over deep mid-wicket for another maximum

Shanaka to Russell, SIX, slower delivery, in the slot, Russell waits and absolutely muscles it flat over long-off. What power!

Imad Wasim to Roy, out Bowled!! That's three wickets in 7 balls. Imad keeps it wicket to wicket and not an easy bowler to get off the wicket without getting in line. Roy tries to back and cut, misses the ball, loses middle and off. 8/3 now. The ball actually took the outside edge. Roy b Imad Wasim 2(5)

Gannon to Jaskaran Malhotra, out Caught by Jayasuriya!! The outswinger totally does him in again. Jaskaran Malhotra stepped out for a flick, Gannon dragged his length back but got it to move away, leading edge goes high, tough catch running back from backward point but he takes it over his left shoulder and made it look simple. Jaskaran Malhotra c Jayasuriya b Gannon 2(5)

van Schalkwyk to Shanaka, out Caught by Narine!! Crucial strike for Los Angeles! Shanaka can be a dangerous customer. van Schalkwyk runs in and rolls his fingers on this fullish ball on middle and off. Shanaka goes for a big hit across the line but is early into his shot. Ends up slicing it off the outer half of the bat towards mid-off where Narine accepts it gleefully. Shanaka c Narine b van Schalkwyk 7(5) [6s-1]

Zampa to Shanaka, SIX, that's a monstrous hit! That has gone out of the park. Shanaka uses his feet and converts it into a slot ball. He uses his long levers and tonks it over long-on and the ball goes a long distance

Zampa to Shubham Ranjane, out Caught by Saif Badar!! Shubham holes out! 89kph full ball on off, Shubham Ranjane crouches in his stance and goes for the slog sweep but doesn't get enough elevation and power behind his shot. Actually, it came off the bottom half of the bat hence the mishit. The fielder at deep mid-wicket is safe as houses. Shubham Ranjane c Saif Badar b Zampa 8(12)

Narine to Klaasen, out Bowled!! Oh that's kept low and knocked out the off stump. Unfortunate for Klaasen. He backed away to smash this over cover again, ball sneaked under the bat. Again probably that grassy pitch that is causing up and down bounce. Klaasen b Narine 25(13) [4s-3 6s-1]

Russell to Klaasen, SIX, Klassy lofted drive for six! Fullish delivery outside off stump, Klaasen plays the normal drive without trying to hit it too hard, great timing it goes high and clears long-off

Russell to Nauman Anwar, out Caught by Spencer Johnson!! In the airrr and taken. Johnson used every bit of that extra height to take this catch. Nauman Anwar could have got away if it was a shorter fielder. Short into the wicket, seemed like it kind of stopped on the batter, Nauman chose to guide over the infield to third man like he did earlier in the over, but he sliced it towards short third man where Johnson leapt to take a good catch overhead. They check for a no ball because it is the second bouncer of the over but the batter was arching back, so it's a legal ball. Nauman Anwar c Spencer Johnson b Russell 32(20) [4s-5]

Zampa to de Kock, out Caught by Narine!! QdK will be livid with himself. Again middle and leg and full and slot you can say, but Quinton interestingly didn't want to access leg-side, went for the lofted drive down the ground after stepping out, got too close to the ball and chipped it off the outer half of the bat and straight to mid-off. de Kock c Narine b Zampa 10(9) [4s-2]

Ali Khan to de Kock, FOUR, what a gift of a start to Quinny! Loves the off-side square of the wicket, Ali Khan angles this full ball in from round the wicket, de Kock frees his arms and square drives off the middle of the bat through point
