The match turned in the sixth over

Second ball (four): Pulling another short ball, Allen scored four runs towards long-on. Kagiso Rabada’s efforts also went in vain.
third ball (four): The ball took the outside edge and went over short third man.
Fourth ball (four): The yorker attempt turned into the ‘slot’ and Allen sent it straight to the boundary.
Fifth ball (four): The pressure on Bosch reached its peak with the fourth consecutive boundary.
Sixth ball (dot): No runs were scored on the last ball, but by then the damage had been done.
