9.1
W
Delany to Raza, out Caught by Tector!! Delany strikes first ball! He gets rid of Raza who was starting to break free and provide impetus to the innings. Short of length delivery, Raza stays back and flat-bats it down the ground, does not get it off the middle and Tector slides across from long-on to his left, takes a good catch. This was a half tracker and Raza would be disappointed.. Raza c Tector b Delany 34(27) [4s-2 6s-2]

Fionn Hand to Raza, SIX, Raza sends it sailing over the roof. Much needed hit for him and Zimbabwe. They need to up the ante and the skipper has found the middle. He backs away and takes a couple of steps down, gets into a nice position and smokes it over long-on. The umpires call for a replacement
