Ben Raine to Malan, FOUR, backs away, creates room and those rubber laden tentacles take over to cream the ball past cover for a four. Lovely placement indeed

Dwayne Bravo to Munro, out Caught by Simpson!! Shake of the head from Munro. He also thinks that the noise/spike on the UltraEdge is due to the bat hitting the ground when the ball went past the bat. But the third umpire seemed convinced and he has given it. There was a little deviation but not conclusive enough. Munro c Simpson b Dwayne Bravo 15(14) [4s-1]

Dwayne Bravo to Munro, 1 run, slices a fuller ball and it lands just short of the man running in from long-on. Was angled across and Munro sliced it a little to mistime it. Single added only. 15 off 15 should be done in a canter

Key Moments

The Rockets set up the win with their fine bowling performance. Yes, Wiese did try but that wasn't enough as the total still looked meek. Hales and Malan came out firing and that dwarfed the total further. Rockets always seemed to be in control and chased it down with 6 balls to spare. Still early days in the tourney but plenty of action as the caravan moves on. That is it for now. We will catch you soon. Ta ta ta...

Bravo and co have gone upstairs for a caught behind call. Don't think Munro needs to worry. Was a fuller one, Munro tried to steer it and missed. Uh oh, there is a spike. But the bat did hit the ground at the same time. The third umpire also clarified that and he has to go.
