| 1.3 : 1.3: Sandeep Sharma to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Wristy by Kohli to get the first boundary of the Eliminator! |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, SIX! BANG! Straight as an arrow! Too full and it is right in the slot, on off, Faf du Plessis stays leg side of the ball and swings through the line. Launches it back over the bowler's head for a flat six. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli, SIX! Virat Kohli welcomes Avesh Khan with a maximum! Avesh begins with a bumper aimed at the helmet of the batter, Virat Kohli swivels in the crease and fetches the pull from over his head. Controls it well and hits it flat over deep backward square leg for a maximum. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Avesh Khan to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Avesh bowls it with an upright seam, on a good length, outside off, Faf du Plessis walks right across his stumps to scoop it past short fine leg. The ball comes off the thigh pad and races past short fine leg for a boundary. Signalled as runs by the umpire so Faf du Plessis seems to have gotten an inside edge on it. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Avesh Khan to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Make that 17 off Avesh's first over. Angling into the right-hander from over the wicket, on middle, on a length, Faf du Plessis clears his front leg and swats it in front of square on the leg side. This one comes off the lower part of the bat but the ball races past mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, OUT! c Rovman Powell b Trent Boult. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Sandeep Sharma to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Up and over! Pitched up around off stump, and floated up to the batter, Virat Kohli just hits through the line of the ball and smashes it over wide mid off for a boundary. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Sandeep Sharma to Virat Kohli, FOUR! In the air but in the gap! Pitched up at the batter, Virat Kohli uses his feet to come down the pitch and uses the bottom hand to whip it wide of mid on for a boundary. That also brings up 8000 runs in the Indian T20 League for King Kohli and he becomes the first man to do so. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Yuzvendra Chahal to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Yuzvendra Chahal has got the big fish right away. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: Yuzvendra Chahal to Cameron Green, SIX! Colossal hit from Cameron Green! Chahal drifts this one full and onto middle and leg stump, Green just clears the front leg and smokes the ball over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Yuzvendra Chahal to Cameron Green, FOUR! Overcompensation from Yuzvendra Chahal and Cameron Green was just waiting for it. Too short and too wide, Green reaches out and smacks the ball through the cover region for a boundary. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Avesh Khan to Rajat Patidar, FOUR! Plays it finer this time and gets the reward! Dishes it out on a fullish length, outside off, Rajat Patidar opens the face of his bat and glides it past backward point. Gets the placement right and beats the sliding Trent Boult in the deep for a boundary. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: Avesh Khan to Cameron Green, FOUR! Hit straight back and hit with brute force! |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Ravichandran Ashwin to Cameron Green, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Rovman Powell makes no mistake! Another well-judged catch from Powell and finally, Ravichandran Ashwin has a wicket to his name. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! TAKEN! Ravichandran Ashwin with the double whammy! |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Yuzvendra Chahal to Rajat Patidar, SIX! Rajat Patidar finally gets hold of one ball and he needs to make full use of the life he received earlier on. Pushed through quicker and fuller onto middle and leg, Patidar slog-sweeps it away and swings the bat freely to hit it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Yuzvendra Chahal to Mahipal Lomror, Six! |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to Rajat Patidar, FOUR! Hammered away! Quicker one, pushed through full and wide of the off stump, Rajat Patidar throws his hands at it and hits it hard over covers for a boundary. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Avesh Khan to Rajat Patidar, SIX! Asking to be hit and Rajat Patidar obliges! Avesh attempts a bumper but gets it completely wrong, down leg and Rajat Patidar gets it a good height. He does not miss out as he helps the pull away over fine leg for a maximum. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Avesh Khan to Rajat Patidar, OUT! c Riyan Parag b Avesh Khan. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Mahipal Lomror, SIX! Much needed for Bengaluru and Mahipal Lomror gets a maximum on the final ball of the over. Tossed up full and around off, Lomror does well to get under the ball and whacks it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Sandeep Sharma to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Just too straight and Dinesh Karthik goes after it. This is full and angled down the leg side, DK gets inside the line of the ball and sweeps it on the full over backward square leg for a boundary. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Trent Boult to Mahipal Lomror, FOUR! Up and away! Banged in well short and wide of the off stump, Mahipal Lomror makes a bit of room and slaps it over the cover region for a boundary. |
| 18.2: Avesh Khan to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! CAUGHT! Avesh Khan does get his man eventually and that will be a big relief for Rajasthan. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Avesh Khan to Mahipal Lomror, FOUR! Up and over! Full and wide outside off with pace on, Mahipal Lomror knowingly opens the face of the blade and goes hard at it. The ball gets sliced over short third man for a boundary. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Avesh Khan to Mahipal Lomror, OUT! CAUGHT! This has been a fine comeback from Avesh Khan after a woeful first couple of overs and Rovman Powell holds on to his third catch of the game. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Sandeep Sharma to Karn Sharma, FOUR! Oh, that's gone through! A slower bumper now bowled outside off stump, Karn Sharma tries to upper cut it but cue-ends it down to backward point where Yashasvi Jaiswal sloppily lets the ball past him and it goes to the fence. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Sandeep Sharma to Swapnil Singh, SIX! BANG! Bengaluru might just get to a defendable total here and the small things here and there in the field are costing Rajasthan. Sandeep Sharma misses the mark with the yorker and serves a full toss outside off, Swapnil Singh pre-empts it and moves across to the off side before slogging it over deep square leg for a maximum. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Sandeep Sharma to Karn Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Make that four catches in the match for Rovman Powell and Rajasthan finish things off with a wicket but 13 runs come off the final over. Sandeep Sharma comes from around the stumps and looks for the wide yorker but again, he serves a full toss and Karn Sharma gets under it, trying to lift it all the way over deep cover but the timing isn't quite there. Powell settles himself in the deep and takes a good catch. Bengaluru finish with 172/8! |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Yash Dayal to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Off the edge and goes through the hands of Cameron Green. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Yash Dayal to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Much more controlled from Yashasvi Jaiswal. Short of a length and outside off, Jaiswal gets under the ball and manages to cut it over backward point for a nice boundary. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Yash Dayal to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Four! |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Yash Dayal to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Intentional from Yashasvi Jaiswal and 16 runs come off that over. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Mohammed Siraj to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Four! |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Mohammed Siraj to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR! Two in two for Tom Kohler-Cadmore and this has been creamed away. Siraj goes full in search of swing but overcooks it, around off, Tom Kohler-Cadmore extends his arms and nails the drive through covers for four more runs. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Mohammed Siraj to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Oh, that is sloppy work in the deep and already we have seen a couple of fielding errors because of the dew. Short ball, angled in at the batter's helmet, Yashasvi Jaiswal does well to get his hands out in front and pulls it down to deep backward square leg. Swapnil Singh slides across to his left there and just spills the ball onto the ropes. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Yash Dayal to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR! Tom Kohler-Cadmore making full use of the life he got a few balls earlier and he looks like a spitting image of Jos Buttler at times. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Yash Dayal to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR! Picks the gap to perfection. Slower one, bowled slightly back of a length around off and sitting up nicely, Tom Kohler-Cadmore waits well and just punches it sweetly between covers and mid off for yet another boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Lockie Ferguson to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, OUT! TIMBER! Lockie Ferguson breaks through for Bengaluru and Glenn Maxwell will be a relieved man. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: Swapnil Singh to Sanju Samson, SIX! Short and this has been dispatched. A half-tracker from Swapnil Singh and the line is too straight as well, Sanju Samson gets on the back foot and does not keep it along the ground. Pulls it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: Swapnil Singh to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Width offered and Yashasvi Jaiswal cashes in! Swapnil slants it across the left-hander, on a length, outside off, Yashasvi Jaiswal reaches out and slaps it in front of square on off side for a boundary. Swapnil has not got his line right so far. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Swapnil Singh to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Yashasvi Jaiswal but this is not great bowling either. Too short, too wide on off by Swapnil, Yashasvi Jaiswal shuffles across a bit to get to the ball and cuts it past backward point for four more runs. Bengaluru needed to squeeze in a quiet over after Lockie Ferguson's wicket-taking over but instead, it goes for 17 runs. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Lockie Ferguson to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Streaky but they all count! Angling away, on a good length, at 147 kph, Yashasvi Jaiswal throws his hands at it and gets an outside edge that races into the deep third fence for a boundary. |
| 9.2: Cameron Green to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Bengaluru go up in unison but the umpire is unmoved! Dinesh Karthik is convinced that Yashasvi Jaiswal nicked Faf du Plessis takes the review. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Karn Sharma to Sanju Samson, OUT! STUMPED! Oh, that is catastrophic for Rajasthan and the skipper has thrown his wicket away. Karn Sharma tosses this one up a bit fuller and wide of the off stump and not completely full. The ball further turns away as it is the regular leg-break and Sanju Samson comes down the pitch, backing away and looks to go inside out which makes it even more difficult for him to reach the ball. Samson ends up running past it and Dinesh Karthik is lightning quick t |
| 10.1: Karn Sharma to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR! A statement shot from Dhruv Jurel first up. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Karn Sharma to Riyan Parag, FOUR! Nicely done by Riyan Parag but it was quite risky as well. Floated up around middle and leg, Parag gets inside the line of the ball, waits for it and just laps it very fine for a boundary. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Lockie Ferguson to Riyan Parag, SIX! Riyan Parag has crunched that with the new bat. Banged in short around off, a bit of a slower ball, Parag waits for it well and smashes it away over deep mid-wicket for a maximum right after changing his bat. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Cameron Green to Riyan Parag, OUT! RUN OUT! It is a Virat Kohli special in the field! |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Mohammed Siraj to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! Not in control but gets enough on it. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Cameron Green to Shimron Hetmyer, Six! |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Cameron Green to Riyan Parag, SIX! Clean as a whistle and it looks like the two batters have decided to take down Green. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Cameron Green to Riyan Parag, FOUR! Clever, very clever! Brilliant game awareness from Parag. Green bangs it on a hard length, at pace, on off, Riyan Parag waits on it as he stays leg side of the ball. Uses the pace of the ball and ramps it past short third to pick up a boundary. 17 runs off the first four balls. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Yash Dayal to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! Hit with immense power and that has raced away! Not the best of options by Dayal with mid off inside the circle. Too full and on off, Shimron Hetmyer hits through the line and drills to the left of mid off for a boundary. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Yash Dayal to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! Not in complete control but Shimron Hetmyer gets back-to-back boundaries! The balance of power completely in Rajasthan's favour. Bowls the back-of-the-hand slower delivery, on a good length, outside off, Shimron Hetmyer goes after it. Gets a thickish outside edge that flies over backward point for a boundary. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Mohammed Siraj to Riyan Parag, OUT! CASTLED! Riyan Parag misses but Mohammed Siraj doesn't! Keeps it full and straight and hurls it with an upright seam, a bit of late inward shape, Riyan Parag stays put and swings across the line. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and rattles into the woodwork. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Mohammed Siraj to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Mohammed Siraj with the double strike for Bengaluru! First Riyan Parag and now Shimron Hetmyer, Rajasthan are digging a hole for themselves through their shot selection. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Lockie Ferguson to Rovman Powell, FOUR! Intentional or not, it does not matter! Rajasthan will take it any which way they come. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Lockie Ferguson to Rovman Powell, Four! |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Lockie Ferguson to Rovman Powell, SIX! BOOM! Thumped flat and thumped down the ground! Rovman Powell gets the job done for Rajasthan. |
