Northern Knights vs Otago, 14th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jacob Duffy to Anurag Verma, out Caught by Josh Finnie!! Short ball, Verma only manages a top edge with his pull shot. Finnie runs in from long-on and gobbles it up. The mid-off fielder too ran back and thankfully didn't collide with Finnie. Anurag Verma c Josh Finnie b Jacob Duffy 5(5)

Nathan G Smith to Kuggeleijn, FOUR, short ball, sits up nicely and Kuggeleijn biffs the pull over mid-wicket for a one-bounce four. That was clobbered by Kuggeleijn

Nathan G Smith to Kuggeleijn, FOUR, full and way outside off, Kuggeleijn throws the kitchen sink and slices it through the gap between backward point and short third man

Jacob Duffy to Kuggeleijn, FOUR, full ball on the pads, another boundary for Kuggeleijn with a flick shot. Fine leg moved his right, but he can't get there

Nathan G Smith to Kuggeleijn, FOUR, bad ball! Full and down leg, flicked fine of short fine leg. Easy pickings

Nathan G Smith to Daryl Mitchell, out Caught by Josh Finnie!! The slower ball - off-cutter - does the trick. Full in length and Mitchell was early into his loft. In the end, loses his shape and timing. Finnie comes forward from long-on to snaffle it. This is a big wicket. Daryl Mitchell c Josh Finnie b Nathan G Smith 39(26) [4s-3 6s-1]

Rippon to Daniel Flynn, out Caught by Josh Finnie!! A flighted delivery outside off, Flynn decides to go after him straightaway with a big shot. Shapes up to slog-sweep and offers a dolly to the man at deep mid-wicket. Fetched it from outside off and got the placement wrong. Didn't get the necessary elevation too - thanks to the miscue. Daniel Flynn c Josh Finnie b Rippon 2(2)

Michael Rae to Joe Carter, out Bowled!! A soft dismissal. Carter shuffles across a long way and misses this pacy short of length ball. Goes past the batsman's pull and crashes into the leg-stump. Joe Carter b Michael Rae 14(12) [4s-2]

Michael Rae to Joe Carter, FOUR, shot! Carter makes room by backing away a long way. Rae goes full and attacks the sticks. Probably overpitched. Carter crouches low and carves it through extra cover

Dean Foxcroft to Joe Carter, FOUR, shot! Fetches this length ball from outside off, gets down and fiercely brooms it in front of square on the on-side. That reached the fence in a jiffy

Rippon to Daryl Mitchell, SIX, in the slot and outside off, Mitchell moves towards off and has a mighty swing of the bat to tonk it over wide long-on. Into the grass banks

Michael Rae to Seifert, out Caught by Neil Broom!! Seifert has picked the man in the deep perfectly. Short ball and Seifert goes after it with an aerial pull shot. He was a touch late into his shot and it went off the top part of the bat. Broom at deep square leg didn't have to move an inch and he gobbles that up with ease. Seifert c Neil Broom b Michael Rae 54(31) [4s-5 6s-2]

Kitchen to Daryl Mitchell, FOUR, four more! Slower from Kitchen, Mitchell goes downtown on this occasion. Waits for the ball, clears his front leg and bludgeons it over the bowler's head

Kitchen to Daryl Mitchell, FOUR, good swing of the bat! Slightly too full, Mitchell moves across towards off and lofts it over mid-wicket for a one-bounce four. Almost went the distance

Rippon to Seifert, 1 run, worked with the spin to mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep attacks the ball and keeps the batsmen down to a single. Fifty for Tim Seifert!

Rippon to Daryl Mitchell, FOUR, Mitchell unleashes the reverse sweep and places it superbly. Broomed this flat ball through backward point. Middle it

Rippon to Brett Hampton, out Caught by Neil Broom!! Holed out! A tossed up delivery, Hampton gets down on a knee to slog-sweep and hits it squarer than he wanted it to. Didn't time it well and ends up spooning it straight down deep backward square leg's throat. Broom won't drop those. Brett Hampton c Neil Broom b Rippon 10(13) [4s-1]

Michael Rae to Seifert, SIX, a biggie! Dug in short, leg-lined and Seifert sees that coming. Gets into a strong position and pummels the pull over long leg

Nathan G Smith to Brownlie, out Caught by Max Chu!! Edged and gone! Brownlie hangs back to a short of length ball to cut. Too close to be cutting as the line wasn't too wide. Gets a thick outside edge and the keeper doesn't err. Brownlie c Max Chu b Nathan G Smith 1(3)

Dean Foxcroft to Seifert, SIX, gives a bit of flight, but lands it right in the batter's arc! Seifert gets down on a knee and nails the slog sweep over deep mid-wicket. On the roof! And ... it's gone outta here

Dean Foxcroft to Seifert, FOUR, Foxcroft starts with a short ball and Seifert pounces. Rocks back and pull hard, didn't quite middle it, but good enough to beat the deep mid-wicket fielder to his right

Jacob Duffy to Devcich, out Caught by Kitchen!! Oh my! Chipped straight to the fielder. A soft dismissal. A lucky breakthrough for the Volts. A gentle full toss on the pads - may have been off-paced - and strangely flicks half-heartedly. Spoons it straight into the hands of the Kitchen at mid-wicket. Devcich c Kitchen b Jacob Duffy 14(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Jacob Duffy to Devcich, SIX, wow! Devcich gives the charge to the pace bowler by coming down the track and in the process moves leg-side. Then, swings his bat hard to club it over deep mid-wicket. Came off the meat of the bat

Kitchen to Seifert, FOUR, quick hands from Seifert! Kitchen over-corrects - short and wide outside off. Seifert rocks back and scythes it through point. 15 runs off the opening over

Kitchen to Seifert, FOUR, fired in full on the pads, Seifert whips it away through square leg. Bad ball and Seifert takes full toll of it

Kitchen to Devcich, FOUR, just over the fielder! Devcich comes down the track, isn't to the pitch and goes through with his loft. Came off the bottom part and off the inner edge. The mid-on fielder jumped, but was just out of his reach
