Milnes to P Walter, 1 run, Originals are into the eliminator! Wide yorker and Walter jams it towards mid-off, calls for the single straightaway and maybe a direct hit would have had him despite the dive. But the throw at the bowler's end is off-target and the roof goes off here at Old Trafford
08:21 PM
Milnes to P Walter, 2 runs, on a good length, width offered and Walter flat-bats this towards wide long-off. In the gap and they take two. Scores level! Invincibles have been eliminated!
08:18 PM
Milnes to P Walter, SIX, in the air......has it got the legs?? Just!! Just! And the home crowd roar! Walter targets the short leg-side boundary this time and the heave-pull has plenty of height on the strike. Two fielders were converging near the deep mid-wicket fielder, perhaps expecting a relay throw but it just went over Jacks. 3 off 3 now!

Milnes to P Walter, 2 runs, miscue, just clears mid-off and they'll get two! Walter wants to go downtown, but it's a slower ball and he mistimes it completely
over-break
08:17 PM
Tom Curran to P Walter, no run, swing and a miss! Pressure is real now! Walter looks to heave it over the short leg-side boundary but misses. What an over from the older Curran!
08:16 PM
Tom Curran to Madsen, 1 run, the older Curran is putting on a death-bowling masterclass here. Slower wide yorker, very tough delivery to execute and he has gotten it spot on. Madsen just about squeezes it to Billings and P Walter was already on for the single
08:15 PM
Tom Curran to P Walter, 1 run, slower off-cutter, Walter looks to flick but gets a soft leading edge. Just evades Billings and it rolls to short third man. Just a single
08:14 PM
Tom Curran to Madsen, out Turner Run Out!! Brainfade from Madsen and Turner has to go! Was a bottom-edge that rolled to the keeper and it's difficult to fathom why Madsen wanted a single. Turner didn't turn it down either and decided to take the risk. Billings just had to hit the stumps at the striker's end and he does. Turner wasn't even in the frame. Now then, this is the perfect start to this set for the Invincibles. Two dots. Turner run out (Billings) 26(17) [4s-1 6s-1]
WICKET
08:13 PM
Tom Curran to Madsen, no run, starts well, excellent yorker and hits Madsen's left boot as he gets cramped on the slog

Key Moments

If the cliched momentum in T20 cricket is a real deal, watch out for the Originals. They started the tournament with three losses on the trot, and then soon lost star player-skipper Jos Buttler to injury and some big guns like Dre Russ to other commitments. They could have bowed out without a fight but instead, they've stitched up a five-match winning streak heading into the knockouts. Always a very, very good space to be in. They'll be taking on an equally form side in Eoin Morgan's Spirit on Friday. Hopefully we get another thriller. On that note, it's a goodbye from the Cricbuzz comm box. Cheers!

This is how the situation is. A single here gives Originals that eliminator spot but two dots/wickets will push Phoenix into qualification from out of nowhere. How about that for drama? Field comes up as you'd expect.

Direct hit and Turner seems a goner here. In fact, it's been given on-field. That's how short he was.
