Royals vs Trinbago, 8th Match at Gros Islet, CPL, Sep 07 2022 - Ball by Ball Commentary

pushed through and attacking the stumps, defended back

what a ripper from Walsh Jr. Big-turning googly, pitches on leg and rips away past the outside edge. Not far away from the off stump either

flat and turns away outside off, pushed through the covers with the break

tossed up and outside off, squirted to midwicket

chipped in the air, the non-striker ducks out and they pick up a single

wrong'un, snakes back in to hit the pad, Walsh Jr. coaxes Miller into reviewing this on-field not-out decision. Phillip does not read the variation and plays for the legbreak. Is this bouncing over the stumps? The tracker returns umpire's call, so Phillip survives

short and fizzing across off, Pierre hops and fends it to point

Dre Russ skies it to deep third. TKR are seven down and sinking. Back of a length and outside off, Russell aims to swipe it away over midwicket. Instead, skews it to McCoy. Seven wickets down in the seventh over

bumper, angling n towards the head, Russell ducks out of the way

much fuller and outside off, Russell swings for the hills once again, but fails to touch the ball this time

Dre Russ sizes it up this shortish ball outside off and pounds it away straight of long-on. Swatted away with great power

Russell latches onto a short ball outside off and slaps it away to the left of Devon Thomas at sweeper. He throws himself to his left and cuts it off. All-action Thomas

This is tight, given out lbw. Pooran thinks this is heading down leg and hence calls for a review. Nice and full, angling in from left-arm over, Pooran is caught playing around his front pad. Pinged on the front pad well below the knee-roll. Is this sharp angle taking it past the leg stump? McCoy and Miller wait anxiously for the decision from the TV umpire. Pooran has a chat with Mayers. Ball-tracking suggests just clipping leg stump, which is enough for the on-field out decision to be upheld. The procession continues for TKR

back of a length on middle, Russell winds up but can hoick it only as far as wide long-on

Azam runs in from deep third man but isn't quick enough. The ball dies in front of him. Full and wide of off, sliced away in the air, but the ball drops in front of Azam

dug in short and wide of off, Pooran reaches out for the ball and crunnnnnnnches it away between point and cover. Firmly cut away

back of a length and following Russell who was looking to back away. Inside-edged away through square leg

banged in short and climbs over the stumps as Russell swipes once again, this time he does not make contact

back of a length and speared into middle and leg, Russell swipes the ball to long-on

off-side wide
