Pitch Report: The pitch so far has been extremely conducive for the bowlers as the teams haven't been able to muster up big totals. The average score on this pitch has been 132 and that speaks volumes about the pitch's character. The batters really need to dig in deep if they want to tee-off in the latter part of the inning! Seeing the new ball off patiently is the key to score on this pitch.

Weather Prediction: According to Accuweather, will be a partly cloudy day with high levels of humidity. The maximum temperature will be around the 30 degree centigrade mark.

Expert Comment

Abhinav Singh

Simba Kings will be coming into this match at the back of a crushing loss against Twiga Titans where Tembo Stars will be euphoric after yesterday's exploits against Buffalo Blaster where they beat them with 5 wickets in hand. Two teams with contrasting fortunes will be battling for the playoff spot, expect them both to give it all in the field.

A sad end for the Tembo Stars inning which had started off with much promise. Abhik Patwa had blasted Yunus for 11 runs in the first over and it looked like TS were in to give a stiff fight to the Simba Kings.

However, soon after the departure of skipper Patwa, the inning disintegrated and could never really pick up! Parmar and Adamjee showed some resolve but the Simba Kings chipped in with wickets at regular intervals and Stars didn't have the momentum by their side.

In the end, Simba Kings win by 46 runs and are through to the playoffs. They will be elated after this performance.

So that's that from our side, this is Abhinav Singh and my partner Maanas Upadhyay signing off. Until next time, goodbye fellas!

19.4 Ali to Vaibhav, OUT! That wraps it up! Full ball outside off and the batsman leans in but drives it uppishly straight down short cover's throat. With that, the Kings are bowled out for a paltry total of 97 and the Simba Kings beat the Tembo Stars convincingly by 46 runs!

19.3 Ali to Angelo, OUT! length ball on the pads cut to point. The batsmen take a risky run but a brilliant pick up and throw by the fielder gets the better of the batsman

19.2 Ali to Angelo, length ball on the stumps pushed to point. No run!

19.1 Ali to Angelo, no run, length ball outside off and the batsman swings and misses.

FINAL six balls remaining and Tembo Stars need an impossible 46 runs! Simba kings have been simple outstanding in the latter half of the inning!

18.6 Hussein to Vaibhav, length ball on the pads glanced to deep square leg for a couple of runs.

18.5 Hussein to Angelo, length ball outside off edged to third man for a single,

18.4 Hussein to Angelo, no run, yorker outside off dug out straight to short cover.

18.3 Hussein to Angelo, full ball on the pads flicked to deep square leg for a couple of runs.

18.2 Hussein to Angelo, no run, full ball outside off driven straight to short cover.

18.1 Hussein to Vaibhav, full ball outside off tapped to covers for a single.

The Tembo Stars tail-enders are not even trying now. It seems like they have resigned themselves to their fates. A sad end for the TS inning which had started off with much promise. TS 91/8 after 18 overs, needing 52 in 12 deliveries

17.6 Ali to Angelo, full ball outside off driven to mid off. No run!

17.5 Ali to Vaibhav, full ball that raps on the pads and deflects to third man for a single,

17.4 Ali to Angelo, length ball outside off cut to deep point for a comfortable three runs!

17.3 Ali to Angelo, full ball on the stumps defended firmly. No run!

17.2 Ali to Angelo, tossed up delivery on the off stump driven straight to cover. No run!

17.1 Ali to Vaibhav, full ball outside off pushed to mid off for a quick single.

Mohammad Yunusi finishes his four-over spell with envious figures of 4-0-20-1. Tembo Stars 85/8 and in desperate need of a miracle!
