Xavier Bartlett to Nikhil Chaudhary, 1 run, yorker on the stumps, dug out to backward square leg

Xavier Bartlett to Ben Dwarshuis, 1 run, brilliant stop from Lhuan-dre Pretorius. This was escaping to the third man fence off the outside edge but the keeper quickly reacted to the left and stopped it with his left hand. The captain applauds as he's saved three runs

Xavier Bartlett to Ben Dwarshuis, FOUR, low full toss wide of off, oh he's managed to squeeze this over backward point. It's spinning away from the sweeper who dives chase and the ball escapes. Two very crucial hits from Dwarshuis already

Xavier Bartlett to Ben Dwarshuis, SIX, pace off and into the wicket but Dwarshuis gets under it and smashes it over mid-wicket for a handy maximum. The idea was to hide it wide of off but Dwarshuis reached out to drag this over the on-side

Xavier Bartlett to Andries Gous, out Caught by Aaron Hardie!! Slot ball, hit high but not long enough, long-off takes a simple catch. That was there to be hit and Gous is so disappointed for missing out. He tried to go towards long-on, ball hit the outside half of the bat and flew to long-off. Gets a good ovation as he walks off.

Xavier Bartlett to Andries Gous, no run, pace off, into the wicket and a wider line, Gous slashes and misses

Xavier Bartlett to Andries Gous, SIX, smashed! Full and straight from Xavier Bartlett, yeah that's exactly what I was looking for says Gous. Clears front leg away for a clean down swing of the bat and the timing is so sweet. Easily sails over the wide long-on fence

Xavier Bartlett to Nikhil Chaudhary, 1 run, shortish slower delivery, Nikhil advances and mistimes the pull off the bottom of the bat through mid-wicket

Xavier Bartlett to Steven Smith, out Caught by Lhuan-dre Pretorius!! Lhuan-dre Pretorius has taken a one-handed screamer. And look at the Unicorns charge at him. He's inspired the team with this catch. Shortish delivery outside off stump, Smith looks to slog, ball hits the cue-end of the bat and was going to first slip (no one in the cordon) but the keeper dived to the right and pouched it with the right mitt. The Unicorns have managed to get two quick wickets and Xavier Bartlett is pumped with this wicket. Steven Smith c Lhuan-dre Pretorius b Xavier Bartlett 43(20) [4s-4 6s-3]

Xavier Bartlett to Mitchell Owen, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Owen fends as the ball bounces a tad extra, ball rolls to third man off the outside half of the bat

Xavier Bartlett to Mitchell Owen, SIX, and now he does manage to get under this length delivery and smash it over long-on. This was an outswinger but it was slightly wider than the previous ball so Owen was able to track trhe line better and he whacks it into the stands

Xavier Bartlett to Mitchell Owen, no run, oh beaten! Owen wants to muscle the ball straightaway. He swung right across the line to this outie, got opened up completely and the ball just missed the outside edge and top of off
