Dwaine Pretorius 77(42)
19.6
Malinga to Pretorius, 1 run, another single. Good last over for Lanka. That was a slower delivery on a fuller length and was slog swept to deep square leg for a single
19.5
Malinga to Duminy, 1 run, full ball and has been smashed to cover. Only a single. Only 8 runs off the over so far
19.3
Malinga to Pretorius, FOUR, and the low full toss ain't a bankable option as it has been flogged away off the inner half of the bat towards deep mid for a four. Beat the fielder to his right
19.2
Malinga to Duminy, 1 run, full ball has been sliced to point for a single. Terrific death bowling
18.6
Udana to Duminy, SIX, and that sails away over long-on. Bye bye ball. That was a journey delivery dished out on a length and Duminy did not miss out as he creamed that over long-on
18.3
Udana to Pretorius, no run, slower short delivery going across, Pretorius looks to pull that back of a hand slower ball but misses it. Plays his shot a bit too early
18.2
Udana to Duminy, 1 run, looks to play the paddle and misses. The ball dribbles off the pads and the keeper fumbles to stop it. Malinga at short third also failed to tidy it up cleanly and almost gave away another run
17.6
Malinga to Duminy, no run, and now nutmegs the batter with another slinging in yorker. That nipped in a bit as well as Duminy tried to flay it away into the on-side
16.4
Dananjaya to Pretorius, SIX, and Pretorius is unstoppable today! Goes for the slog sweep, big one and smokes it high and handsome over cow corner
16.3
Dananjaya to Duminy, 1 run, slog swept to deep mid for a single as it was lured up
16.1
Dananjaya to Pretorius, FOUR, slog swept away and that will be a four. Dipping full toss on the pads and the man at deep square leg failed to slide and stop it. The man at deep mid decided not to dive and that was a four
15.6
Lakmal to Pretorius, 1 run, steers the full and wide ball to deep third man for a single
15.5
Lakmal to Duminy, 1 run, off the thickish edge and the ball lands short of the man at deep third man
15.3
Lakmal to Pretorius, FOUR, now the outer thick edge and the ball flies away towards third man for a four. Length delivery outside off and Pretorius just freed his arms to get it away
15.2
Lakmal to Pretorius, FOUR, maiden fifty for Pretorius! Has been an enterprising one and gets to the landmark with a fancy slice over short third man. Not quite intentional but would still take it
15.1
Lakmal to Pretorius, FOUR, that's a piledriver! Smoked down the ground. Low full toss and Pretorius shot it back past the bowler for a four. Lakmal was ducking for cover there. That would have been nasty
14.2
Vandersay to Pretorius, 2 runs, kneels down and slog sweeps. Doesn't time it well enough and they get a double to deep mid
14.1
Vandersay to Pretorius, 2 runs, chops the cut away off the back foot into the covers for a double
13.6
Udana to Hendricks, no run, Dhananjaya spills it! Sliced an away going full toss and the man at point makes a mess of it. Straight in and out. Not the standard that Lanka should be setting. Should have been taken 9 out of 10 times
13.4
Udana to Pretorius, FOUR, full and wide, Pretorius gets bat to it and slices it away to deep point for a four. Lovely shot indeed. Pure timing and placement
13.3
Udana to Pretorius, no run, angling across yorker and has been blunted back to the bowler
13.2
Udana to Hendricks, 1 run, slower delivery and has been nurdled away into the on-side for a single
12.6
Dananjaya to Pretorius, 1 run, tucked off the back foot into the cow corner region for a single. Again wanted a second only to decide against it
12.5
Dananjaya to Pretorius, SIX, might not have read the turn on it as it spun in but Pretorius has lofted the ball away over long-on for a sixer. Toe-ended it and had enough on it to send it away
12.4
Dananjaya to Hendricks, 1 run, tucked off the pads and Hendricks wants a second only to be sent back pretty late
11.6

Vandersay to Pretorius, 2 runs, full and wide, Pretorius slices the drive over cover and gets back for the second with ease
9.4
