Craig Overton to Rickelton, out Caught by Dawson!! The defending champs hit back in style. Full credit to Markram for not changing Craig Overton and giving him the third over. Rickelton backed away early to go big but Overton smartly took pace off and cramped him for room while also ensuring it wasn't a slot ball. Wasn't full, wasn't short and an off balance Rickelton couldn't handle that shot as he tried to loft over the infield and ended up chipping it straight to mid-off. Rickelton did back away to free the arms but he couldn't place it past mid-off or change his shot. Rickelton c Dawson b Craig Overton 33(15) [4s-1 6s-4]

Marco Jansen to Rickelton, SIX, Marco Jansen, who has been the main bowler for the Sunrisers, is being taken to the cleaners on the big night. Jansen has had great control over his lines and lengths all season but today, he's been all over the place. Was so unlucky last over, but this over he's offered hit me ball. Another one on the pads and whipped over long leg

Marco Jansen to Rickelton, SIX, he's just muscled that out of sight! Length delivery on the stumps, absolute slot and soon the seam movement will disappear so Rickelton puts on a bold face, holds the shape while swinging across the line and he nailed that slog over wide long-on
2.6
Craig Overton to Rickelton, no run, that slower ball turned like an offie? Is that a sign to come? Rickelton was early into his one-handed flick, ball lobbed uppishly towards point. Meanwhile both batters were hesistant for the run and they get back to their places with taking the run

Marco Jansen to Rickelton, SIX, it's yet another wild swing across the line and yet another edge that's flown over the ropes. Short delivery, Rickelton in no position to pull because of the steep climb. He had no control over the shot. It's been that kind of luck for him this over and he's chancing his arm. 17 off the over. First two overs to MICT in difficult conditions
1.5
Marco Jansen to Rickelton, no run, thuds the thigh pad by pushing this a bit fuller. Nips back in to catch him high
1.4
6
Marco Jansen to Rickelton, SIX, he's just riding his luck at the moment. The ball is moving around so he doesn't want to let Marco Jansen settle. Plays a slog-pull to this short of length delivery, thick outside edge flies fine and to the right of the third man fielder
