Wet outfield.
Further inspection at 10:25 am.
I thought it is 4 overseas players in the final XI. Barbados are playing 5 overseas players.
0.3
McSween to Cornwall, FOUR, make that three!! Short pitched again, Cornwall top edges this pull that falls well behind the keeper. A couple of bounces and a third boundary
0.2
McSween to Cornwall, FOUR, four more!! Short and straighter, Cornwall pulls vigorously to the left of deep mid-wicket. What a start!
0.1
McSween to Cornwall, FOUR, back of a length with a bit of width. Cornwall makes his intentions clear straightaway. Stands tall and cuts powerfully square of the wicket, not a fielder moved!
BR 17/0 (1.3) CRR: 11.33
3.4
Jeavor Royal to Cornwall, SIX, brute hitting!! Flatter on the body, Cornwall stays back and swings this over long-on. It looked like he was a bit late, but the sheer power of the man takes the ball over the ropes
3.2
Jeavor Royal to Cornwall, FOUR, action replay! This was a bit fuller, Cornwall clears the front leg once again and swings it a bit wider to mid-off
3.1
Jeavor Royal to Cornwall, FOUR, on a length spinning away from off, Cornwall clears the front leg and lifts his heave over mid-off. A couple of bounces and onto the boundary

Alzarri Joseph to Mayers, FOUR, quick and back of a length on the body, Mayers uses the pace and slaps his pull to the right of deep mid-wicket. He's taking on his International teammate
Umpire blind to blow wow
4.5
Alzarri Joseph to Cornwall, out Lbw!! Joseph nails the yorker, right in the blockhole and Cornwall is late getting his bat down. Gets struck flush on the back boot and that’s surely plumb. Umpire has to reverse his decision. SLK get their first wicket!
Cornwall lbw b Alzarri Joseph 32(17) [4s-5 6s-1]

Wiese to de Kock, FOUR, what a shot!! Pitched fuller on off, de Kock sweeps this through deep backward square leg.
13.1
Mark Deyal to de Kock, out Caught by Wiese!! Flater length, de Kock is deceived by the extra bounce and gets a leading edge on his cut that balloons towards Wiese at cover point. The ball stopped on the surface a bit as well, not much he could do but Quinton de Kock is back in the hut. \\

Harry Tector c Kuggeleijn b Alzarri Joseph 5(7)
15.3
Mark Deyal to Corbin Bosch, out Caught by Jeavor Royal!! Fired much quicker outside off, Bosch wants to lift it over the infield but the pace means he is late on his shot, the hand comes off the handle as well as extra cover takes an easy grab. Mark Deyal continues to impress with the ball.

In reply to Mustwin
and to be fair...I really do want to understand the reasoning and the MATHS behind this reviewed target.
It cant be rocket science
I'd have thought that Tim David is a better T/20 batsman than Joseph,so why was Joseph sent in before David.
In reply to Mustwin
[b]In reply to Narper[/b
You are very knowledgeable and thought you may be able to enlighten me.
In reply to Mustwin
DLS is a bloody travesty.
In reply to Mustwin
Maah...That formula to complex for me..
DLS was so unfair when it was created that it had to be adjusted. That should tell us all we need to know.
