Pretorius made short work of the chase, but it was Short’s off-spin that short-circuited New York’s top-order, crucially cutting short Ryan Rickelton’s early blitz. His 21-ball 35 would remain their highest score, as their batting faltered against Short’s accurate, grippy offerings. Having quickly seen that pace was easy to hit off, he bowled himself out by the ninth over, taking out the top three.
