SFU vs MINY Ball by Ball Commentary

That's it! The single is enough to get the win as San Francisco Unicorns beat MI New York by 5 wickets. This is on a good length, angling in at the stumps. Xavier Bartlett flicks it off his back foot toward the right of the short fine leg fielder for a single.

OUT! STUMPED! Fuller, angling down the leg side, Hassan Khan comes down the track and misses his flick. Quinton de Kock is quick to glove the ball and dislodges the stump. Khan extends his back leg to get inside the crease. The decision has been sent upstairs, where the third umpire takes his time to see whether Khan drops his back foot before de Kock manages to hit the stumps. However, he comes to a decision and gives it an OUT as Hassan Khan's boot is just inches away, dropping into the crease. A wide has been awarded as well. So the score's level now.
