It was always a matter of that one wicket. Ballance needs to go for it now, there is no option.

Yea Tino's right. I think Ballance needs to be hitting through that. Anything full goes back down the ground. He's more than good enough to do that

That drop and run they've got covered now
We're in long shot territory again :lol:
80 off 50 is a big ask.

I’m not sure if Ballance is either in total control and is going to explode in the last 5 overs or if he’s freezing out there and letting this game slip.

Ballance is a class player but not necessarily a big hitter. This is where someone like Brendan had an edge over him. Brendan had the ability to accelerate at will.

Deep extra cover is an area to target for Madande
