That’s a wrap from our side as well. We appreciate your participation from all across the world. On behalf of my co-commentator Megh Mandaliya and Scorer/Analyst Raju Khariya, I, Deepak Prakash, am signing off. Please join us for the other fixtures across the world. Until then, Ta-Ta, Bye-Bye.✌✌
Hamish Rutherford (Otago Volts Captain): “The pacers have been in fine form this season. They keep on asking those questions by throwing the ball on decent areas. Travis Muller might have gone for a few runs but he has come in and delivered for us. Gibson has absolutely set the world on fire after shifting to the opening position. Shame he could not get to his hundred but it was an awesome inning. It's extremely pleasing how the guys are going about it. We have some time to freshen up tomorrow and go again on Monday."
Cole McConchie (Canterbury Captain): "We lost four to five wickets quickly but Mitchell played a brilliant knock and helped us to get a decent total to fight. Our bowler pulled things back and reduced the equation to 20 runs in the last 2 overs was a fantastic effort but unfortunately, we failed to save it. We are looking forward to the other game."
Jake Gibson (Gamechanger of the match): "Yes, it's good to be there. It is also good to open the innings alongside Hamish. Loving it. Feel awesome and the crowd sometimes is pretty loud. Hopefully, we can win again on Monday."
9:29 AM IST | Deepak: A masterclass inning of 96 runs from Jake Gibson💥 and a short cameo from Josh Finnie💪 has helped Otago Volts win the match by 4 wickets.

19.3 A McKenzie to B Lockrose
6 IN THE AIR AND SIXX! Lockrose finishes the game in style and it is the visitors that have held their nerves to secure a thrilling victory. Fuller length in the slot, Lockrose clears his front leg and lifts that over the bowler's head as the ball travels this distance for a maximum. Otago Volts have won this encounter by 4 wickets and they will go to the top of the table momentarily.
Oh dear, is there any twist left in this game🤔!
19.2 A McKenzie to J Gibson
W IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! This match has got everything. Huge wicket for the Kings and there is still some life left in this contest. Short of a length delivery on the top of middle and leg, Gibson swivels and goes for the glory shot across the line but the right-hander was early on the hook and gets the top edge that flies into the hands of Hay at mid-wicket. Gibson departs after a scintillating 96.
The third umpire is checking for a caught behind. Finnie misses the flick and there is no bat involved here.
19.2 A McKenzie to J Finnie
1wd A low-full toss sliding down the leg side, Finnie shuffles across and misses the flick to the keeper, who also fumbles and allows a single. Oh wait, the Umpire has not signaled it as Wide. He has sent this one upstairs as he feels Finnie has got his boots on that but the replay shows no contact and finally the umpire stretches his arms.
19.1 A McKenzie to J Gibson
1 Fuller length delivery on the pads, Gibson tucks that behind square for a single to start the final over. 4 required now and Finnie is on the strike.
5 needed off the last over.

18.6 E Nuttall to J Finnie
6 SIXX MOREE! Finnie, you beauty. Good length delivery angling into the middle, Finnie takes a little shuffle and swats that across the line as the ball sails over the deep mid-wicket fence for a maximum. Remarkable hitting from Finnie. Just 5 required now from the final over. A massive over for Otago.
18.5 E Nuttall to J Finnie
2 Fuller and outside off, Finnie goes for a drive but gets the outside edge that rolls to third man for a couple.
Finnie eases the pressure here! 13 needed off 8 balls now.
18.4 E Nuttall to J Finnie
6 SIXX! What a shot from Finnie and he gets off the mark with a maximum. Short of a length delivery on the top of middle and leg, Finnie swivels and hoicks that towards deep square leg as the ball sails over the fence.
