AB de Villiers 51(37)
16.2
Udana to de Villiers, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. Too ambitious from AB and he did attempt this shot in the previous over too, it didn't come off and this time, Udana strikes timber. Roars in delight and needless to say, this is a massive wicket for Paarl. The back of the hand slower ball, de Villiers exposes all his three sticks hoping to scoop/sweep it behind square. Misses the line and hears the death rattle. Mr. 360 walks off for one final tim e in this tournament. de Villiers b Udana 51(37) [4s-3 6s-1]
