Texas Super Kings vs Washington Freedom, 23rd Match, July 2, 2025 - Full Commentary

Noor Ahmad to Phillips, 1 run, Phillips clears his front leg and inside-halves the heave to long-on. TSK win by 43 runs

Noor Ahmad to Phillips, no run, 55mph, slower through the air and Phillips miscues the loft towards long-off. He was probably looking to go over extra cover. Mitchell runs in and to his left from long-off, dives forward to catch it with both hands. The ball was dying on him and he did well to get his fingers under it. Mitchell isn't sure if he's caught it cleanly. The TV umpire takes a couple of looks and rules in favour of the batting side. I couldn't see any part of the ball touching the ground. Even Phillips is surprised as he returns to face the final ball

Noor Ahmad to Phillips, no run, 60mph, quick leggie outside off, Phillips shapes to heave across the line and misses

Noor Ahmad to Pienaar, 1 run, 57mph, appeal for lbw, turned down. Full on leg, Pienaar gets low to sweep and the ball rolls to short fine leg off his pad. TSK review. Seems to be pitching outside leg. Firstly, is there an under-edge? There's a murmur on UltraEdge confirming a tickle. So the onfield call stays and TSK burn a review

Noor Ahmad to Gous, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! 57mph, scrambled seam legbreak on a length, Gous gets down to slogsweep and misses it altogether to hear the death rattle. Gous b Noor Ahmad 6(7)
