| 0.1 : 0.1: Trent Boult to Virat Kohli, OUT! THAT IS PLUMB! 100th Indian T20 League wicket for Boult and this is the first time Boult gets him in this tournament. A golden duck for Kohli and that is the start Rajasthan would have wanted. This is a lovely nut. It starts around off and tails back in late. Kohli plants his front foot across and looks to flick but misses, getting hit on the pads. A loud shout and the finger is raised. Kohli does not review and rightly so. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Up and over! Stand and deliver! Length and on middle, Faf stands tall and lofts it over the mid on fielder for a boundary. First of the game. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! That is a glorious stroke! Second boundary in the over. This time he does find the gap through the covers. Length and on off, Faf stands tall and strokes it through covers for a boundary. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Trent Boult to Shahbaz Ahmed, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Boult struck in the first ball of his first and now in the first ball of his second. The move to send Shahbaz Ahmed up the order does not work. Slightly shorter and on middle, this one skids through. Shahbaz Ahmed looks to pull, this goes off the splice and straight to mid-wicket. Yashasvi Jaiswal makes no mistake. This is an excellent start for Rajasthan. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Probably not off the middle but finds the fence! Off the mark in style! Length and on off, Maxwell stands tall and pushes it through covers for a boundary. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Carved away! This is a very full ball outside off, Glenn Maxwell opens the face of the bat and carves it through point for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, SIX! Over the fence! He has connected brilliantly! This is on a length and outside off, Faf du Plessis lofts it over the extra cover region and it goes all the way. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, SIX! Two in a row but this is even better! Wow! Not a lot wrong with the delivery, it is on a length and around middle, this is lofted down the ground and well, well over the fence. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Whipped away! That is a huge over. A potential momentum shifting over. On middle, this is pulled over the mid-wicket fielder and into the fence. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Deft! That is wonderful! We have seen this guy play some brutal strokes on this ground but thi is wonderful. This is on a length and around off, it is guided past point and it races away. Runs flowing now. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Not sure if he wanted to it it there but he does not care! This is shorter and outside off. Glenn Maxwell looks to play it fine on the off side, it goes more off the outside edge but past short third man for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Off the inner half but finds the fence! Yet another lucky boundary for Maxwell! Slower and on mniddle, Maxwell looks to go big but it goes off the inner half past square leg and down to the fence. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! Over the fence! That is a strong shot. Maxwell is on a roll here. He makes room, this is flatter and on off. He smashes it over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! BANG! We have not seen him play this stroke a lot in recent times but this time he has nailed it! Out comes the reverse sweep, this lands on middle. Maxwell sends it sailing over the point fence for a biggie. He is into the 40s in no time. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Jason Holder to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! This time the slower ball is put away! The difference between this ball and the last one was, this was shorter in length. Faf latches onto it and pulls it towards deep mid-wicket. The fielder runs and dives a touch early. It goes past him and into the fence. Welcome boundary as things had gotten a little quiet. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Jason Holder to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! That has gone a long way! That is a serious hit! Wow! Maxwell was making room to probably go through the off side but this is a slower one and on middle. Maxwell waits and then thumps it over the long off fence. He brings his fifty up in style. Top knock and a much-needed one for his side. Can he go on to make it into a big one? |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Jason Holder to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Gets it over! That is some shot. That is a serious shot. This is really full and on off, Faf still manages to get under it, get the elevation to clear the cover fielder and it goes into the fence. Another massive over for Bangalore and the 100 is up for them. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! Ravichandran Ashwin can't believe that has gone all the way. Such is the power of the guy though. On middle, Maxwell lifts it down the ground. It is not off the middle but still clears the fence. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Fifty for Faf! Yet another one. He has led from the front with the bat for his side. On the pads, this is worked down to the fine leg fence. Boult is leaking runs too. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! That is stunning timing! 17 from the over. Boult was brought back to get a wicket but he has gone for plenty. This is a superb stroke. Length and on off, Faf creams it past the cover fielder and there is no chance for the fielder at long off. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! That has gone to the fence in no time! What timing! Fuller and on off, this is driven powerfully, the man at long off did not have a lot to cover but he fails to do so. Sandeep is not having the best of days. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, OUT! RUN OUT! That is brilliant, just brilliant from Yashasvi Jaiswal! Something special was needed for the visitors to break this stand and Yashasvi Jaiswal has done it. This is full and on off, this is driven hard to cover. They take off for a run. Yashasvi Jaiswal picks the ball up, he has one stump to aim at and hits it. Faf is well short. Such efforts can lift the morale of a side. Can they now finish strongly? Faf, on the other hand, walks back a tad |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Sandeep Sharma to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! That is not a good ball with the square leg up in the ring! This is a full toss on middle, Maxwell stands still and works it through square leg. Second boundary in the three balls bowled so far in this over. |
| 14.3: Ravichandran Ashwin to Mahipal Lomror, FOUR! That is a wonderful stroke from Mahipal Lomror! Beautiful! He steps out, gets to the pitch of it and just times it past cover. This one races away to the fence. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! TAKEN! Straight to Holder and he won't be dropping that. Glenn Maxwell falls and this can be considered as a timely wicket. Especially with Faf being dismissed an over before. Now Bangalore will have two new batters out there heading into the final overs. Maxwell looks to play the reverse sweep again, this is pushed through outside leg. He looks to hit it over point but this goes flat and straight to Holder who makes no mistake. A brilliant knock |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Yuzvendra Chahal to Mahipal Lomror, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Chahal gets his first and the visitors are finishing strongly here! This is fired outside off. Chahal looks to go downtown but only manages to hit it high up in the air. Devdutt Padikkal runs in and takes a good catch. He has been really good in the field. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to Suyash Prabhudessai, OUT! Suyash Prabhudessai is well short! Bangalore losing their way here! This is on middle, Suyash Prabhudessai looks to work it on the leg side but this goes off the leading edge, it lands short of cover. Suyash Prabhudessai sets off but is sent back from halfway down the wicket. Yashasvi Jaiswal picks the ball and fires it to Samson who whips the bails off. It is taken upstairs. Replays show that Suyash Prabhudessai is well short. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Jason Holder to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! That is outstanding timing and a welcome boundary! Bangalore will hope this breaks the shackles! Fuller and on middle, this is worked through mid-wicket and it races away to the fence. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Sandeep Sharma to David Willey, OUT! run out (Sanju Samson / Sandeep Sharma). |
| 19.1: Sandeep Sharma to Wanindu Hasaranga, OUT! RUN OUT! Wanindu Hasaranga has sacrificed his wicket. Dinesh Karthik wanted to get on strike! This is short and on middle, Wanindu Hasaranga bails out of the pull. Dinesh Karthik is off for a run. Wanindu Hasaranga takes off. The two almost collide. Samson throws the ball to the bowler who whips the bails off. It is wided so still 6 balls to go in the over. |
| 19.1: Sandeep Sharma to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Gets it over! This is why he wanted the strike! This is full and outside off, it is hit over covers for a boundary. 5 from just the one ball in this over. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Sandeep Sharma to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! TAKEN! That is a big wicket with 4 balls to go. Could easily make a difference of fives runs to the final score. This is full and outside off, Dinesh Karthik moves across and looks to go over long on. Does not get the elevation as it is way too full. He holes out to the long on fielder. Buttler makes no mistake. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Sandeep Sharma to Vyshak Vijay Kumar, OUT! TAKEN! Two in two! That made a cracking sound of the bat but it does not go the distance. Short and on middle, Vyshak Vijay Kumar pulls it towards deep mid-wicket. Shimron Hetmyer takes it easily. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Sandeep Sharma to David Willey, FOUR! Up and over! That is clever, very clever from David Willey! A slower one on middle, he ramps it over the short third man fielder and it goes to the fence. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Mohammed Siraj to Jos Buttler, OUT! TIMBER! That is a beauty, that is an absolute beauty! Just brilliant. The big fish, Jos Buttler is out of here. He gets this one to jag back in so nicely. It starts outside off and it comes back in wonderfully. Jos Buttler looks to drive but it sneaks past the inside edge and uproots the middle pole. Boult got Kohli in the first over and now Siraj gets Buttler. Perfect start for the hosts. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: David Willey to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! First of the chase! Outside off, shorter. Yashasvi Jaiswal cuts, it goes off the outside edge and down to third man for a boundary. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Mohammed Siraj to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Up and over! Shorter and on middle, Yashasvi Jaiswal lifts it over the mid on fielder and bags a boundary. This guy does bag a punch. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Mohammed Siraj to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Carved away! Rajasthan getting a move on! This is fuller and outside off, Yashasvi Jaiswal carves it through point and it races away. Two boundaries in a row. |
| 3.2: David Willey to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Up and over! Yashasvi Jaiswal steps out. The length is shorter, this is cut over point for a boundary. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Vyshak Vijay Kumar to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Rajasthan will hope this gets Devdutt Padikkal going. A boundary on the very first ball of the over and they will want to make this a big over! Full and outside off, this is driven nicely through covers and this races away to the fence. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Vyshak Vijay Kumar to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR MORE! NIcely carved away! Shorter and outside off, Devdutt Padikkal waits and then plays it behind point for a boundary. Two in a row. Pressure on Vyshak Vijay Kumar! |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Vyshak Vijay Kumar to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Gets it through again. That is really well played! Length and around off, Devdutt Padikkal opens the face of the bat and guides it past point and short third man for a boundary. There was a lot of room on offer but he just played it late enough to find the gap. Three boundaries in the over. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Glenn Maxwell to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! That is pure timing! Wow! This is full and on middle, it is worked through mid-wicket. This one races away to the fence in no time. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Glenn Maxwell to Yashasvi Jaiswal, SIX! BANG! That has gone a long way. Yashasvi Jaiswal uses his feet, gets to the pitch of the ball and smashes it over the long on fence. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: Harshal Patel to Devdutt Padikkal, SIX! Welcome into the attack, Harshal! What a shot that is! Fuller and on off, this is lofted over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Glenn Maxwell to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Swept away fine! On the pads, Yashasvi Jaiswal plays the sweep, it goes off the glove and down to the fine leg fence. Another boundary. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Glenn Maxwell to Yashasvi Jaiswal, SIX! What a shot that is! Wow! Steps out, the length is shortened, this is hit over cover and it goes all the way, over the fence. |
| 8.6 : 8.6: Wanindu Hasaranga to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! The last ball spoils the over! This is shorter and on middle, Devdutt Padikkal rocks back and pulls, it is just wide of the filder at deep mid-wicket who puts in a dive. Boundary. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Vyshak Vijay Kumar to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Pulled away! This is short and asking to be hit! This is short and on the body, this is pulled behind square on the leg side for a boundary. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Vyshak Vijay Kumar to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Through the off side this time! These two are taking the game away! Shorter and outside off, this is slapped through covers and this ball races away to the fence. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: David Willey to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! TAKEN! That is the wicket Bangalore wanted! The pressure of runs not flowing got to Devdutt Padikkal and he falls. David Willey gets the important breakthrough. This is shorter and on middle, Devdutt Padikkal pulls, it goes off the splice towards long on. Virat Kohli takes it. |
| 13.4: Harshal Patel to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! The two set batters are out of here and Bangalore are back on top! This is a full toss, a low one. Yashasvi Jaiswal looks to go over long on but it goes more off the bottom and the fielder there, Kohli takes another catch. 82 needed in 38. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Wanindu Hasaranga to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Thumped down the ground! That is the start Rajasthan needed in this over! This is tossed up on middle, it is hammered down the ground and to the long off fence. Need to make this a big over now. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Wanindu Hasaranga to Sanju Samson, SIX! Bang! Over the fence! Shorter and on middle, this is pulled well over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Harshal Patel to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Carved away! Yet another over which starts off with a boundary! Fuller and outside off, this is carved past point and this one races away to the fence. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Harshal Patel to Sanju Samson, OUT! TAKEN! Is that the wicket which wins them the game? Samson is out of here! A short one outside off, Samson looks to cut, this goes off the outside edge towards short third man and Shahbaz Ahmed takes it. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Mohammed Siraj to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR! Five from the first two balls! This is shorter and on middle, this is pulled hard towards deep mid-wicket. It is in the gap and it finds the fence. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Mohammed Siraj to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR! Nice and fine! This is turning out to be a very expensive over from Siraj! 14 from it with a ball to go. This is full and on the pads, it is clipped fine and it races away to the fence. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: David Willey to Dhruv Jurel, SIX! BANG! That was no nonchalant! Jurel is playing a gem of a knock here! A slower one on the pads. This is flicked well over the square leg fence for a biggie. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: David Willey to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! RUN OUT! That is brilliant from Suyash Prabhudessai! He has not been amongst the runs but this is brilliant and will lift his spirit. That could well be the game there as Shimron Hetmyer is the finisher for the visitors! Outside off, a yorker, this is hit towards cover. They take off. Suyash Prabhudessai had one stump to hit, not only that, he had the bowler in front of him. He throws, Willey looks to collect but it goes past him and hits the stumps. |
| 18.5: Mohammed Siraj to Dhruv Jurel, SIX! BANG! Gets the biggie! That is some shot. A flat hit. Wow! This is full and on the pads, it is whipped over the square leg fence for a maximum. Jurel keeping his side in this. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Harshal Patel to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Woah! How did that get to the fence? That is so lucky! It is a slower one outside off. Ravichandran Ashwin is completely foxed by it. He looks to just tap it on the off side, it goes off the top edge over the keeper and down to the third man fence. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Harshal Patel to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! 10 from the first three balls and that is exactly what Rajasthan need from the last three. This is full and on the pads. It is flicked past short fine leg. The fielder in the deep, runs to his right and dives but his effort goes in vain. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Harshal Patel to Ravichandran Ashwin, OUT! TAKEN! THe slower ball does the trick this time for Harshal Patel. 10 needed from 2 and Jurel is not on strike! A slower one on middle, Ravichandran Ashwin looks to go over the mid-wicket fence but is through the shot early. It goes off the toe-end towards deep mid-wicket and it is taken by Suyash Prabhudessai. |
