Washington Freedom vs MI New York, Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Netravalkar to Kunwarjeet Singh, FOUR, whipped away through mid-wicket quite powerfully and he's found the gap too. Netravalkar missed the yorker and bowled a low full toss, Kunwarjeet was smart with his placement and it's got MINY the 180 they were looking for

Netravalkar to Kunwarjeet Singh, FOUR, thumped down the ground. Good batting from Kunwarjeet. Knows Netravalkar is only going to bowl slower balls wide of off, moved across and hit this over the bowler's head for a handy boundary

Jack Edwards to Tristan Luus, out Caught by Phillips!! Another one falls. This is a stunning collapse from MINY. Smart full wide slower ball, Luus had no choice but to play big shots, so he reaches out to loft, only to toe-end it to the man at extra-cover. GP moved to his right and tracked it into his hands. Tristan Luus c Phillips b Jack Edwards 2(3)

Maxwell to Michael Bracewell, out Bowled!! He's yorked him big time there. Bracewell had no clue. He stood leg-side of this ball and tried to squeeze it out. Little did he know the ball had already sneaked under his bat to hit base of middle and off. MINY slip from 148/2 to 163/6. Michael Bracewell b Maxwell 4(4)

Maxwell to Kunwarjeet Singh, SIX, mighty! Slot from Maxwell, Kunwarjeet gets under it and muscles it high and handsome for a maximum over mid-wicket to get some momentum back for MINY

Ferguson to Kunwarjeet Singh, 1 run, pushed to mid-off

Ferguson to Pollard, out Caught by Gous!! Oh that's a ripper and Pollard has gloved this down leg. He walked down the pitch to counter Ferguson, but the bowler dug this into the pitch and got it to rise. Pollard wanted a glance, all he managed was a glove and the keeper pouched it to the left with a leap. Two massive wickets in one over from Ferguson. He wasn't 100% during his third over. Seemed like he was struggling with his legs. And here is steaming in and getting extra bounce to deliver a big blow to MINY. Pollard c Gous b Ferguson 0(3)

Ferguson to de Kock, out Caught by Maxwell!! QdK holes out to Maxi at mid-wicket and the Freedom captain throws the ball up after catching and lets out a loud roar with a double fist pump. He badly wanted that wicket. Was a slot ball, so Quinton is livid at mistiming this. Says come on, to himself as he walks back. He lost shape trying to hit this ball too hard on the leg-side, ball came off the bottom of the bat and went straight to hand. End of a great innings from de Kock. Made this wicket look better for batting. de Kock c Maxwell b Ferguson 77(46) [4s-6 6s-4]

Netravalkar to Pooran, out Caught by Holland!! And the wide line has done it for Netravalkar. He persisted there, took pace off and forced the batter to make all the pace. Pooran went for a big lofted drive over cover, only managed a thick outside edge and the ball lobbed to backward point for some catching practice. Actually came off the bottom of the bat. Important wicket this, Pooran could have gone mega in the end overs. Pooran c Holland b Netravalkar 21(17) [4s-1 6s-1]

Jack Edwards to de Kock, FOUR, and paddles it fine. 82 mph, fuller, straighter, QDK was a goner had he missed it but he paddled it in a cheeky manner for a four. MINY continue to rack up runs

Jack Edwards to Pooran, SIX, on a length, on the pads, Pooran went over for it and walloped the pull over deep backward square for a sixer. He managed to get enough bat on it

Holland to Pooran, FOUR, slower one, 65 mph, well wide outside off, Pooran reaches out for it and slashes the ball over the man at cover for a four. The man at deep cover failed to cut it off to his left

Maxwell to de Kock, SIX, two dot balls and de Kock had to charge down. He doesn't lose his shape despite the dance down and despite the two dot balls prior to this. He whips the ball over wide long-on. That was hit well and over the ropes. de Kock is hitting them so well

Mitchell Owen to de Kock, FOUR, short, wide, 79 mph. de Kock gets the room, gets under the ball and slashes it over short third and point for a four. That was placed really well by the southpaw

Mitchell Owen to de Kock, 1 run, short of length delivery, angled in, pulled down to the man at deep square. They get a single

Mitchell Owen to de Kock, FOUR, 78 mph, outside off, de Kock stays leg-side of the ball and stabs it between short third and point for a four. That was well placed and timed. Fifty for QDK. A big game and the big name in this line up has come good. He scored a fifty in the 2023 finale against MINY

Mitchell Owen to de Kock, 2 runs, short of length delivery, 78 mph, pulled wide of the man at deep mid. Had it been a direct hit, Pooran was a goner

Holland to Dhillon, out Caught by Pienaar!! And the slower one does. Was a fuller length delivery. Lovely back of the hand slower delivery and Dhillon tried to drill it through the off-side but ended up edging it down to the man at short third. The fielder dived forward and got his hands under it to take it. Only 63 mpgh from Holland and the batter just fell prey for the lack of pace. The promotion hasn't worked. Dhillon c Pienaar b Holland 14(11) [4s-2]

Ferguson to Dhillon, FOUR, fuller length delivery, outside off, 93 mph, quick delivery but Dhillon drilled it down the ground by staying in his crease. Dhillon has been promoted to go after the bowling it seems

Ferguson to Dhillon, FOUR, fuller length delivery, angled in, Dhillon clips it uppishly and wide of the man at fine leg for a four. Dhillon is off the makr with a four. Bad ball it was and put away

Ferguson to Monank Patel, out Caught by Ravindra!! The Kiwi pair combine to remove Monank Patel. Length delivery, wide outside off, 78 mph, Monank Patel looks to drill it and finds the man at cover. Good start for Monank Patel but he has thrown it away. He looked disappointed. The room was there but Monank Patel just failed to find the gap. End of a fine little knock from Patel. Monank Patel c Ravindra b Ferguson 28(22) [4s-2 6s-1]

Mitchell Owen to Monank Patel, SIX, chips down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over long-on. That was hit with the wind and the ball just kept going away. The man at long-on tried but well over him

Mitchell Owen to de Kock, FOUR, short of length delivery, angled in, 78 mph, de Kock is not rattled by the pace and pulls the ball wide of the man at mid-wicket for a four. The fielder tried to dive but it was away from him

Netravalkar to de Kock, no ball, SIX, poor delivery, full toss on the pads and he has overstepped as well. de Kock got under the ball and launched it over deep square. The ball went easily over the ropes. Free-hit coming up

Netravalkar to Monank Patel, 1 run, backs away and wallops it back past the bowler for a single. That travelled quickly off the bat and Netravalkar did well to get out of harm's way

Maxwell to de Kock, FOUR, drops it short, bad ball again, de Kock goes back and pulls it one-handed wide of the man at deep square for a four. That was nonchalantly done by the batter as he picked his spot. 18 runs off the over and the experiment with spin hasn't quite worked out

Maxwell to de Kock, SIX, straight down the ground for a sixer. de Kock danced down, got under the ball and slammed it clean over the sight screen. That was a towering blow. The wind was put to rest as he hit that very cleanly

Maxwell to Monank Patel, FOUR, short ball, spinning in, Monank Patel rocks back and pulls it wide of the man at long leg. Bad ball it was and put away with elan by Monank Patel. Poor from the skipper

Jack Edwards to de Kock, FOUR, four more. Was a fuller length delivery, outside off, 83 mph, de Kock leant into the drive and got it easily wide of the man at mid-off. That was hit so well. de Kock seems to be in good touch

Jack Edwards to de Kock, SIX, 77 mph, length delivery, outside off, de Kock gets the room and gets under it to slam it over cover. That was a clean shot from the keeper batter. The wind also helped the ball to go easily over the ropes

Maxwell to Monank Patel, FOUR, gets the width, puts it away. Flatter one, outside off, Monank Patel throws his bat at it and gets it easily between point and cover for a four. First boundary of the finale
