Spin doing the job. I worry about us facing their spin later

Brilliant work this from Cremer. Really showing great control and experience here. He looks to be massively struggling with that left hand which is worrying.

We're fighting here which is great to see, and our fielding has once again been superb. A proper fight back from us considering our seamers were expensive up top

I'm slightly worried about our batting though. Musekiwa and Munyonga have shown that they have very little to offer in the way of tackling spin. A lot is going to depend on Bennett up top and if Maru can get off to a good start

Hoping we don't completely fuck this up at the end. Need Muz and Evans to keep this as tight as possible. 142-5 is a very good position to be in but an over like we've just seen from Raza can undo it all

Good fight back with the ball. Evan’s just seemed slightly off in his first spell.

He gets two consolatory wickets but really that was a poor over from Evans. All over the place. But he's got that priceless ability to pick up wickets in T20 cricket. His record is actually unbelievable when you look at the wickets he's picked up and the average he gets them at.
Think he's on 8 wickets for the tournament now as well, so I guess you have to tip your hat to that.

Defs has that ability, a bit like Jongwe but Evan’s is just a bit better.

I reckon if you want to be part of the big teams you have to back yourselves to chase 180. Hope we can give a good fight, you never really know in T20
