He guaranteed opener Josh Philippe for a duck in the opening over with a short conveyance at 150kph that rushed onto the hitter, whose pull shot was skied straight hanging out there. After Cameron Gannon excused Jack Edwards for a duck, Meredith released a scorching third finished and had chief Moises Henriques edging to initially slip, where Ben McDermott took a stupendous find plunging to one side.

Jewell was pushed over by Dwarshuis for 41 in the power flood, taken in the fifteenth over, and that was likely a decent outcome for Tropical storms as Tim David began with an edge that traveled to the limit followed by a six over the legside.
