NSW win by 21 runs. That had it in the bag when SA were 6 for 53 but the Kieron Pollard played a blinder. 53 off 24 balls with 5 sixes. He took 29 of one Moises Henriques over. But Henriques got his revenge taking a ripping catch off Hauritz and the game was over from there. Steve O'Keefe is Man of the Match taking 3 for 23. He had 3 for 4 in his first 2 overs and ripped the heart out of SA's top order. NSW get a win under their belt. Join us again Friday for Game 4 from the Gabba as Queensland host Tasmania. Thats it for tonight. On behalf of Venkat Rahgav and me Alex Malcolm, thanks for joining us. See you Friday.
