| 0.5 : 0.5: Sandeep Sharma to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Pounces on it! Not that short but well wide of the off stump, Virat Kohli reaches out and slaps it away in front of point for a boundary. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Adam Zampa to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Gets it through! Just a touch short but not that wide, Faf du Plessis rocks back and cuts it to the left of a diving point fielder and picks up a boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Adam Zampa to Faf du Plessis, SIX! Something had to give and Faf du Plessis has whacked that one away. On the shorter side and around middle, Faf backs away and slogs it away, over cow corner for a maximum. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Streaky! A much-needed boundary for Rajasthan. It is very full, outside off. Faf du Plessis tries to hit it through the line but only manages to get a thick outside edge on it. The ball runs down to the third man fence. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: KM Asif to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Cracking shot! Faf du Plessis finding his feet. KM Asif serves it short, with plenty width on offer. Faf du Plessis waits for it, gets on top of the bounce and cuts it powerfully through point for four runs. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! Here he goes! It did not take long for Maxwell to spread tension across the Rajasthan camp. It is very full, on leg stump. The 'Big Show' clears his front leg and tonks it over the long on fence for a maximum. |
| 8.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Once again, Maxwell finds the boundary off the final delivery. Bangalore are growing in this game. Maxwell hangs back to this short ball, he realises he has plenty of width on offer and follows it up with a cracking cut shot. The ball is going in only one direction and that is the boundary. |
| 6.6: KM Asif to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! Rajasthan needed a wicket and KM Asif are provided with a crucial breakthrough. Virat Kohli holes out on 18. KM Asif with a huge, huge wicket. Virat Kohli completely fails to pick up the knuckle ball. He only manage to loft it high in the air, Yashasvi Jaiswal at covers calls for it, takes a couple of steps in front and accepts the catch gleefully. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Adam Zampa to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Glenn Maxwell continues his attack from the other end. It is a bit short, on middle. Glenn Maxwell rides the bounce and pulls it along the ground through mid-wicket for a cracking boundary. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Sandeep Sharma to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries for Maxwell. He is turning this over into a huge one for Bangalore. Shorter, wide of off. Maxwell hops and works it over backward point for four more. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Sandeep Sharma to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Incredible shot. A short ball, outside off. Glenn Maxwell reverse-hits it down to third man for four runs. |
| 13.4: Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! This is huge. Ashwin follows Maxwell outside leg with a full ball. Maxwell gets under and smacks it over the bowler's head for a biggie. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: KM Asif to Faf du Plessis, SIX! SHOT! Brilliant way for the Bangalore skipper to get to his FIFTY! He had to work very hard under the sun for this knock. Captain setting up high standards. Back of a length, on middle, it climbs on the batter. Faf du Plessis effortlessly tonks it over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: KM Asif to Faf du Plessis, OUT! CAUGHT! Yashasvi Jaiswal and KM Asif combine once again to find the second wicket. KM Asif now has gotten rid of both the openers, and this wicket comes at a crucial juncture of the game. Faf du Plessis smacks this full ball into covers, although he does it aerially. Yashasvi Jaiswal moves to his left and takes a sharp catch. A much-needed breakthrough for Rajasthan. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Adam Zampa to Mahipal Lomror, OUT! CAUGHT! Taken on the second attempt by Dhruv Jurel! This is nicely tossed up around off and might have been the wrong'un as well. Mahipal Lomror gets down on one knee and looks for the slog-sweep right away. Lomror goes against the turn and ends up mistiming it. The ball goes high and over mid-wicket. Jurel runs in from cow corner and slides forward to take the catch. The ball pops out but he manages to grab it on the next attempt. Two quick wickets now |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Adam Zampa to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! LBW! Adam Zampa does it again! This is bowled on a nagging length around leg stump and Dinesh Karthik goes on the back foot to work it away but gets caught on the crease and gets rapped on the pads. There is a huge shout for LBW from Adam Zampa but it is turned down. Sanju Samson does review it though. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Bangalore going down in a hurry here as Karthik departs for a duck. |
| 16.3: Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! This is tossed up outside off, Glenn Maxwell gets across his stumps and brooms it firmly in between deep mid-wicket and long on for a boundary. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! All the way and that will be FIFTY for Glenn Maxwell, a brilliant knock from him under testing conditions. Yuzvendra Chahal throws it up wide again and Maxwell gets well across the off stump to get inside the line and whip it away over the backward square leg fence for a maximum. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Sandeep Sharma to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Sandeep Sharma gets the better of Glenn Maxwell here. Sharma bowls this one full and angles the ball into middle and leg. Maxwell tries to be a bit too inventive as he looks to reverse-sweep the pacer. The ball is just too full and sneaks under the willow to crash into the stumps. Maxwell is gutted and Rajasthan get another timely breakthrough. End of a solid knock from Maxwell though. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Sandeep Sharma to Anuj Rawat, FOUR! A real gift and Anuj Rawat duly obliges. Fuller and on the pads, helped away past short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Yuzvendra Chahal to Anuj Rawat, FOUR! Nicely played! A high full toss on the stumps, Anuj Rawat pre-meditates the reverse-sweep and manages to top-edge it over short third man for a boundary. The 150 is now up for Bangalore. |
| 19.4: KM Asif to Anuj Rawat, SIX! Anuj Rawat gets hold of that one! Length ball outside off, Rawat shuffles across and shimmies down the track as well before whacking it over the cow corner fence for a biggie. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: KM Asif to Anuj Rawat, SIX! And again! Anuj Rawat is playing a gem of a cameo here. Length ball angled across off stump, Rawat gets across and holds his shape before muscling it over the mid-wicket fence for another maximum. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: KM Asif to Anuj Rawat, FOUR! Powered away and Anuj Rawat has finished things off sensationally for Bangalore. KM Asif goes full and wide this time, Rawat gets well across the off stump and heaves it away toward cow corner. The ball flies off the bat and beats the man there to his right. 18 come off the final over and Bangalore finish with a solid total of 171/5 on the board! |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Mohammed Siraj to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! CAUGHT! Mohammed Siraj draws first blood and Yashasvi Jaiswal cannot believe it. Pitched up around off and at a good pace as well. Jaiswal stands tall and looks to hit through the line and thump it over mid off. Jaiswal though doesn't get under it and hits it flat to the left of mid off where Virat Kohli takes a sharp catch. 98 in the last game and a duck now for Jaiswal, Siraj is elated though. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Mohammed Siraj to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Up and over! This is pitched up around off, Sanju Samson gets under it and deliberately opens the bat face a bit to lift it over the cover region. The ball trickles away into the fence for the first boundary of the chase. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Wayne Parnell to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man! A very loose shot from Jos Buttler though and he won't be happy with that one bit. This is a bit short and well wide from Wayne Parnell, there to be put away. Buttler extends his arms and instead of going hard at it, he just pats it away uppishly toward cover-point. Mohammed Siraj there moves to his left and grabs it around his chest. Buttler goes for a duck as well and Rajasthan have been rocked early. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Wayne Parnell to Sanju Samson, OUT! TAKEN! Anuj Rawat can do no wrong out there and Rajasthan now lose their skipper as well. Sanju Samson will also be livid with his choice of shot there. Wayne Parnell stays around the wicket and bangs it a short ball at the body. Samson looks to take it on but is way too early in the pull. The ball takes the top edge and goes straight up. The keeper, Rawat calls it early and runs in toward the right of the deck to settle under it and take a brilliant c |
| 1.6 : 1.6: Wayne Parnell to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! A confidence-booster that shot. This is full and angled into middle and leg from Wayne Parnell, Devdutt Padikkal plays a lovely straight drive and gets it to the right of mid on for a boundary. End of an eventful first over from Wayne Parnell. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, FOUR! Oh, a bit of innovation from Joe Root here. Length ball around off, Root gets inside the line of the ball and laps it down to fine leg for a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Michael Bracewell to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust for Rajasthan. Michael Bracewell drops this one short and bowls it on middle and leg. Devdutt Padikkal goes deep in his crease and looks to work it leg side. Padikkal does so but a bit uppishly. The ball goes toward Mohammed Siraj at short mid-wicket and he takes a good low catch in front of him. It is sent upstairs to be checked and it is a close one but Siraj seems to have his fingers underneath and the thir |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Michael Bracewell to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX! BANG! This is tossed up on middle and leg, Shimron Hetmyer simply hits through the line and smokes it a long way over long on for a maximum. |
| 5.3: Wayne Parnell to Joe Root, OUT! LBW! This looks plumb, Wayne Parnell appeals and the finger goes up. Every decision that Faf du Plessis is making right now is turning into gold. Joe Root though takes the review. Coming to the delivery, Wayne Parnell fires in a toe-crushing yorker, Joe Root tries to flick it away but does not get any bat on it. He takes a blow on his pads. The UltraEdge confirms no bat is involved and the Ball Tracking shows three reds. The onfield decision stands and J |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Michael Bracewell to Dhruv Jurel, OUT! CAUGHT! Michael Bracewell picks up his second wicket. Rajasthan have lost their sixth wicket with not even 50 runs on the scoreboard. An abysmal show with the bat for the hosts. It is a half-tracker, on off. Dhruv Jurel mistimes his pull shot to deep mid-wicket and hits it straight down the throat of Mahipal Lomror in the deep who makes no mistake. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Karn Sharma to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX! HUGE! Shimron Hetmyer gets his second biggie of the chase. It looks like he is batting on a different surface here. He is reading the ball really well. This is pitched up, on off, it is in the slot and Shimron Hetmyer tonks it over the long on fence for a maximum. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Karn Sharma to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX! Great use of the feet this time by the West Indian. He charges down the wicket, gets under it and smokes it over the long on fence for another biggie. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Karn Sharma to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX! High and handsome. Shimron Hetmyer is on fire. He is taking on the spinner here. It is floated and full, outside off, turning in as well. Shimron Hetmyer gets down on one knee and slogs it over the square leg fence. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Karn Sharma to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! RUN OUT! It only gets from bad to worse for Rajasthan. Nothing is going their way here. Ravichandran Ashwin is the man who heads back this time, that too, without even facing a ball. It is a length ball, on off. Shimron Hetmyer punches it to sweeper cover. Ravichandran Ashwin calls for the second run but is being sent back here. The throw from Mohammed Siraj is towards the striker's end. Anuj Rawat smartly guides it towards the sticks and gets the |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Michael Bracewell to Shimron Hetmyer, DROPPED AND FOUR! A tough chance goes abegging. It is Virat Kohli who makes a meal of it near the ropes. Tossed up, full and on off. Shimron Hetmyer lofts it high towards wide long off. Virat Kohli does all the hard work, but could not hold on to this one. The ball rolls over the ropes. |
| 10.1: Karn Sharma to Adam Zampa, OUT! TIMBER! Another one bites the dust. It is tossed up, around off. It grips and turns away a touch. Adam Zampa tries to be cheeky but pays the price instead. He goes for the reverse-hit but ends up no where near the ball. It sneaks through the gap to damage the stumps. Also, KM Asif is the last man in for Rajasthan. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Karn Sharma to KM Asif, OUT! CAUGHT! THAT IS IT! GAME OVER! Karn Sharma picks up two quick wickets in this over, the final two that Rajasthan had in hand. It is tossed up, on off. KM Asif gets down on one knee and lofts it high up in the air. Asif does not get the desired distance on it. Virat Kohli settles under it at long on and takes a simple catch to bring this game to an end. Bangalore win by 112 runs. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Glenn Maxwell to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT! This should be final nail in the coffin. It is tossed up, on middle. Shimron Hetmyer gets low and tries to find the boundary before he takes a single off the final delivery, to retain the strike - Well, this could've been an ideal scenario for Rajasthan, but that was not the case this time. Shimron Hetmyer ends up giving away his wicket and that so be game done from Rajasthan's point of view. Michael Bracewell takes a sharp catch at long on, |
