0 Flighted delivery on a good length, Wong comes down the pitch and plays it back to the bowler hastily with a horizontal bat.
The end is near for Thunder here. Game is as good as over. Thunder still must get as much close to the target as possible. You never know Net Run Rate matters a lot in these kind of tournaments.
