Batting: Hampshire
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.4 | FOUR | U Asif to James Vince, FOUR, smashed! Comes down the track and makes room in the process, reaches out and cracks the drive between extra cover and mid off | 6/0 |
| 1.5 | FOUR | U Asif to James Vince, FOUR, through the other side this time, down the track again but this time U Asif follows him, Vince adjusts and plays across the line, between mid wicket and mid on | 10/0 |
| 2 | FOUR | U Asif to James Vince, FOUR, hilarious fielding! U Asif bangs it short and Vince hooks it towards deep mid wicket, the ball goes high and lands near the ropes, Rana Naved runs all the way and puts in a dive only to push the ball over the ropes. It would have probably stopped there had he not put in that dive! | 14/0 |
| 3 | FOUR | S Ahmed to Carberry, FOUR, edged to third man! S Ahmed gets some bounce again, Carberry heaves across the line and gets a thick edge which flies over the keeper's head | 20/0 |
| 3.1 | FOUR | Raza Hasan to James Vince, FOUR, lovely shot. Flat and outside off, Vince goes on the backfoot and punches it to deep extra cover, perfect timing on that one | 24/0 |
| 3.4 | OUT | Raza Hasan to Carberry, out James Vince Run Out!! Vince is absolutely livid! Carberry pushes this to square leg and stays in his crease, Vince wants a single and charges in but Carberry was not interested at all, the fielder charges in and smashes the stumps at the bowler's end with a direct hit. Vince was not even in the frame and he is furious with himself. James Vince run out (Sohail) 18(14) [4s-4] | 25/1 |
| 3.5 | FOUR | Raza Hasan to Carberry, FOUR, lucky boundary to third man, Carberry looks to flick but gets a thick edge down to third man, the fielder runs back, picks up the ball near the boundary but fails to flick it back! Poor fielding again | 34/1 |
| 4.2 | OUT | Shoaib Malik to Carberry, out Caught by Raza Hasan!! Another wicket. Carberry looks to sweep against the turn but it bounces a bit more, he ends up lobbing it tamely to short fine leg. Easy catch and Hampshire are in some trouble now. Carberry c Raza Hasan b Shoaib Malik 11(11) [4s-2] | 35/2 |
| 5.4 | FOUR | U Asif to Adams, FOUR, poor delivery. Short and wide outside off, Adams pounces on it and slaps it between extra cover and mid off, poor poor delivery | 42/2 |
| 6.4 | FOUR | Shoaib Malik to Sean Ervine, FOUR, absolutely smashed! Charges down and blasts it through extra cover, absolutely no chance for the fielders | 48/2 |
| 7 | DROPPED | Shoaib Malik to Sean Ervine, no run, catch dropped by Malik himself. Tossed up delivery, Ervine gets forward and pushes it back, it wasn't hit too hard but Malik somehow spilled the chance | 48/2 |
| 8.2 | OUT | Shoaib Malik to Adams, out Sean Ervine Run Out!! 1 run completed. Excellent throw from the deep. This was driven straight down the ground, they went for a quick second run but Ahmed was even quicker from long on and got a direct hit at the bowler's end. That made the difference, Ervine was just out! Sean Ervine run out (S Ahmed) 7(11) [4s-1] | 52/3 |
| 10.2 | FOUR | Raza Hasan to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, too short, Maxwell goes on the backfoot and pulls it to deep mid wicket, hit very hard! | 63/3 |
| 10.4 | OUT | Raza Hasan to Adams, out Lbw!! What was Adams trying there? Normal tossed up delivery on the off, Adams looks to play a reverse paddle and misses the ball. Plumb in front of the wickets, and Hampshire sink further. Adams lbw b Raza Hasan 14(20) [4s-1] | 64/4 |
| 11.4 | SIX | S Ahmed to Glenn Maxwell, SIX, big six. HUGE six! Short and on the legs, Maxwell swivels and pulls it away over backward square leg, that went a long long way | 72/4 |
| 11.5 | FOUR | S Ahmed to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, another short delivery, another boundary. Once again Maxwell pulls but this time through deep mid wicket, falls just short of the ropes | 76/4 |
| 12.5 | SIX | Naved-ul-Hasan to Glenn Maxwell, SIX, poor delivery, tries the slower one but it's short and down the leg side, Maxwell swivels and pulls it over fine leg | 85/4 |
| 13 | SIX | Naved-ul-Hasan to Glenn Maxwell, SIX, Maxwell is having some fun! But he should thank Naved-ul-Hasan for this gift. A full toss down the leg side, he says thanks a lot and smashes it over deep backward square | 91/4 |
| 14.1 | FOUR | U Asif to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, excellent shot, full and outside off, Maxwell goes on his knees and drives it over extra cover | 101/4 |
| 14.3 | DROPPED | U Asif to Shahid Afridi, 2 runs, catch dropped. An absolute sitter! Full and outside off, Afridi throws his bat at it and gets a thick edge which flies to third man, Sarfraz Ahmed somehow manages to drop it. Horrible fielding! | 104/4 |

| 16.3 | FOUR | U Asif to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, over mid on and that will do! Full and staight delivery, Maxwell lofts it flat and over mid on, hit very hard as well | 120/4 |
| 16.4 | OUT | U Asif to Glenn Maxwell, out Caught by Sohail!! Finally a catch is taken. Full and wide outside off, Maxwell slashes at it and carves it straight to the fielder at third man. An excellent hand comes to an end. Glenn Maxwell c Sohail b U Asif 42(29) [4s-4 6s-3] | 120/5 |
| 16.5 | OUT | U Asif to Shahid Afridi, out Caught by Ali Khan!! Suddenly U Asif is on a hat-trick.

Shahid Afridi c Ali Khan b U Asif 14(16) [4s-1] | 120/6 |
| 17.2 | FOUR | Raza Hasan to Liam Dawson, FOUR, lucky four. Comes down the track and looks to play across but gets a thick edge to third man, useful runs | 127/6 |
