Roston Chase to Buttler, out Noor Ahmad Run Out!! 1 run completed. Roston Chase, you beauty! To deliver the way he has in the final over against a rampaging Buttler is nothing short of sensational. Especially after Williams got taken to the cleaners in the previous over. Nails the yorker, Buttler squeezes it through midwicket and that's not enough for DSG. What's more is that they try to come back for two and Noor is run out at the bowler's end. Was never going to make it back. Noor Ahmad run out (Brevis/Roston Chase) 0(0)

Didn't even reach halfway when the bails were taken off. Kwena Maphaka run out (Williams/Roston Chase) 0(3)
