CricInfo is giving live coverage

Matabeleland Tuskers 70/1 (11.1 overs)

Vermeulen 34*, Ewing 23, Mujuru 11*. (Rainsford 1/37)

KEEP GOING VERMEULEN

[Detective RDS]

Vermeulen goes after a good start making 36 in 43 balls with 4 boundaries and a six
It is high time he needed to go on and make a big one.

Dion Ebrahim in the crease now with Bonaparte Mujuru.

Matabeleland Tuskers 85/2 (14.2 overs)

Vermeulen 36, Ewing 23, Mujuru 20*, Ebrahim 1*. (Lewis 1/18, Rainsford 1/37)

[Detective RDS]

Dion Ebrahim also went to the pavilion after being run out by Malcolm Waller. All the three wickets are in his credit. He has taken two catches and run out Ebrahim.

Tuskers is maintaining a good runrate of 5.40 in 17th over and needs to kick on without lossing any wicket till 30 overs and then attack the opportent with Power Play 3 in hand.

152/7 great come back by the Rhinos, Malcolm Waller played a part in the first 6 wickets to fall, great effort.

Nice to see Rainsford back in the side to add a bit of pace to the attack

Matabeleland Tuskers 193 (42.1 ov)

Mid West Rhinos 20/1 (5.4 ov)

Small target for the Rhinos which we should be able to chase down fairly easily. Nice to see Rainsoford snare a couple of wickets and that Keegen Meth has started well with the ball once again

Most of Meths wickets this season have benn either bowled or LBW which suggests that he is bowling fairly quick and straight

I whatched Meth bowl a few years back and i tell you what, for a fairly short guy he bowls at a consistant pace. Around the 83mph/84mph mark. For me he's a player that must be picked for the next major tour. He's scored runs this season, he's physically fit and healthy and his bolwing is extremely useful. He also swings the ball away which would possibly Give him a cahce of taking the new ball. Could easily solve the " bowling allrounder " spot effectivly. He just needs a chancen

Tuskers 193 (Mujuru 51, Waller 3/35), Rhinos 194/9 (Sibanda 82, Dabengwa 2/18). Rhinos win by 1 wicket.
