Short of a length around middle and off, Elton Chigumbura slogs this off the cue end towards deep mid-wicket region for one.

Is that a drop?

Elton Chigumbura walks in at number 7, replacing Chirag Gandhi, to face the hattrick ball.

OUT! c Diwesh Pathania b Dilshan Munaweera.

Chirag Gandhi walks in at number 6, replacing Hamilton Masakadza.

OUT! CAUGHT! The gamble works for Irfan as his team starts the 20th over with a wicket. And a big one at that. Of the set batter, Hamilton Masakadza. Tossed up, outside off, very less pace to work with. Masakadza, who has been tied down in the last few overs, tries to wind up for a big swing but ends up swinging like a rusty gate. The ball goes miles in the air but does not have enough distance. Ben Laughlin runs across to his right a touch at long off and takes his third catch of the evening! Everyone on the field walks up to congratulate Masakadza. What a knock to play in the final - a magnificent 83 (58). Only time will tell whether this becomes a match-winning contribution or does it become like the one which we witnessed from Mahela Jayawardene in the 2011 ODI World Cup final. The Southern Super Stars are 163/4 with 5 balls left.

Who will bowl the final over? Spinner or pacer? Well, Irfan has decided to go on with Munaweera.

On a length around middle and leg, Hamilton Masakadza hammers this towards deep mid-wicket region for one.

Back of the hand slower one, outside off. Chaturanga de Silva backs off and looks to loft this over Irfan at extra cover but the pace off means he could just get it away, on the bounce to Irfan Pathan at extra cover and take one.

FOUR! Now that's a wonderful stroke for four. On a length, wide of off, too close to be cut. Chaturanga de Silva rocks back and digs deep to loft this over extra cover for a boundary towards deep extra.

Finally gets the length spot on, does Pathania. Nearly a yorker, just misses it by a fraction outside off, but Hamilton cannot get under it. Goes hard at it but can only hit it towards long off for a single. The Zimbabwean is being tied up for the last couple of overs and is getting frustrated now.

Too tull again, on middle and leg, whipped through mid-wicket for a couple.

FOUR LEG BYES! When it rains, it pours. If runs off the bat were not enough for the Suryas, Lady Luck is giving a few bonus runs to their opposition. Pathania tries for the booming inswinging yorker, but gets it too straight and misses his length as well. Still, Hamilton Masakadza is beaten by pace and misses his flick. But to his luck, the ball goes off his pads and escapes to the right of short fine leg into the boundary!

Who will bowl the 19th over? 8 bowlers have been used so far and only Laughlin has bowled out. It will be seam again as Diwesh Pathania has been brought back on. 2-0-10-1 so far.

FOUR! Get's plenty of bat on this and the ball bounces over the ropes for four. Tossed up around off, Chaturanga de Silva clears his front leg and slogs this on the bounce wide to the left of wide long on for a boundary to end the over. Dilshan Munaweera is doing an astonishing job for his side.  150 UP FOR THE SOUTHERN SUPER STARS in the meanwhile.

Swing and a miss yet again. Chaturanga is struggling to get bat on ball.
