Marco Jansen 3-46(4 ov)
15.6
Marco Jansen to Corey Anderson, out Caught by Pienaar!! Anderson has picked out long leg with perfection - much needed for Freedom, they were looking lost for ideas in the last 2-3 overs. Jansen shortened the length and angled one onto Anderson's hips, the shot was on, but the left-hander has dragged it straight down Pienaar's throat, he's absolutely furious with himself as he walks away - they're taking the strategic break as well. Corey Anderson c Pienaar b Marco Jansen 26(19) [4s-1 6s-2]
15.5

Marco Jansen to Corey Anderson, SIX, they're dealing in sixes at the moment - the momentum is gradually shifting towards the Unicorns, slower ball from Jansen, but it's right in the slot and it's heaved away over wide mid-wicket for a maximum, brings up the 50-run stand

Marco Jansen to Corey Anderson, no run, short of a length and just outside off - Anderson hacks across the line and misses
5.6
Marco Jansen to Josh Inglis, out Bowled!! Jansen has his man now, and it's not a no-ball - poor choice of shot from Josh Inglis though, wasn't short enough to play the pull, was angling across from the leg-stump and Inglis's undone by the length, swings across the line and misses, the ball crashing into the top of middle-stump. The zing bails light up and Freedom have got three in the batting PP. Josh Inglis b Marco Jansen 8(7) [6s-1]
