| It is time for the action to begin! The Bangalore openers, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli make their way out to the middle. Trent Boult has the new ball in hand. Here we go... |
| 0.1 : Shahbaz Ahmed walks out to bat. He has been promoted up the order. |
| 0.2 : Trent Boult to Shahbaz Ahmed, Good length and on off, defended. |
| 0.3 : Trent Boult to Shahbaz Ahmed, Leading edge but lands safely! On middle, this one tails away. Shahbaz Ahmed looks to flick but due to the movement, it goes off the leading edge but lands safely on the off side. Just the one. Shahbaz Ahmed and Bangalore are underway. |
| 0.4 : Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, Good length and on off, defended. |
| 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. |
| 0.5 : Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, On off, defended. |
| 0.6 : Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, A quick run to end! Faf is off the mark! Length and on off, this is pushed to the left of mid off for one. Top first over from Boult. |
| Sandeep Sharma to bowl from the other end! |
| 1.1 : Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, Right on the money to begin with! It comes back in, on a length, this is pushed to mid on. |
| 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. |
| 1.3 : Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, Times it well but does not find the gap! Length and on off, this is driven but to covers, it went to Yashasvi Jaiswal quickly and he stops it well. |
| 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. |
| 1.5 : Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, Now takes one as this is pushed down to long on for one. |
| 1.6 : Sandeep Sharma to Shahbaz Ahmed, Lovely timing! Length and on off, Shahbaz Ahmed strokes it gloriously through covers for one. |
| 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 : 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. |
| 2.3 : Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, Off the inside edge! Length and on middle, this one comes back in. Glenn Maxwell looks to play at it, it goes off the inside edge towards square leg. It lands short of the fielder there. |
| 0.0 : Glenn Maxwell walks out to bat now! The Big Show needs to put on a show here. |
| 2.4 : Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, A yorker now on middle, Glenn Maxwell jams it out back to the bowler. |
| 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. |
| 0.0 : Impact Players for Rajasthan - Donavon Ferreira, M Ashwin, Akash Vasisht, KM Asif and Abdul Basith. |
| 2.6 : Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, Two more! A wicket to begin the over but 10 from it! Outside off, this is carved down towards third man for two. |
| 0.0 : Impact Players for Bangalore - Harshal Patel, Finn Allen, Akash Deep, Karn Sharma and Anuj Rawat. |
| 3.1 : Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, On middle, defended. |
| 3.2 : Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, On the stumps, kept out. |
| 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 : 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. |
| 3.5 : Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, This time Sandeep goes full and on middle, this is pushed back to the bowler. |
| 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. |
| 4.2 : Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, A single! On middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for one. |
| 4.3 : Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, Faf now takes one as he nudges this around the corner. |
| 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 : 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. |
| 4.5 : Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, On middle, Maxwell works it towards mid-wicket and takes one. Sensible stuff. |
| 4.6 : Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, Another single to end! Another really good over for Bangalore. On middle, this is pushed towards mid on for one. |
| Ravichandran Ashwin comees on now. He will bowl the last over of the Powerplay. |
| 5.1 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, On middle, this is pushed down to long on for one. |
| 5.2 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, Well, Maxwell is not wasting anytime. Straightaway looks to go after Ashwin. Brings the slog sweep out but this hits him on the pad. Half an appeal but it has pitched outside leg. |
| 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. |
| 5.4 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, Changes the angle, comes from over the wicket and bowls it on off, Maxwell pushes it to covers. |
| 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. |
| 5.6 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, A single to end! Bangalore have recovered brilliantly. They lost two early but now are 62 for 2 after the first 6. The last ball is on middle, it is worked through mid-wicket for one. |
| A long discussion between Samson and the umpires. Samson probabaly wanted to take Drinks but the umpire may have spotted the sign late. Eventually the Drinks break is not taken and it is Yuzvendra Chahal who comes onto bowl. |
| 6.1 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, On off, this is pushed down to long off for one. |
| 6.2 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Faf du Plessis, That is a very good stop! On the pads, Faf du Plessis looks to flick but it goes off the inner half fine on the leg side. The fielder there dives and stops it. Saves three for his side. |
| 6.3 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, Two more! Shorter and outside off, this is carved through point for two. |
| 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. |
| 6.5 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, Flatter and on middle, Maxwell looks to push it on the off side but it goes off the inner half back to the bowler. |
| 6.6 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, Nicely bowled! Slows it up, lands it on middle, this is pushed to covers. |
| DRINKS! Well this time, Drinks is taken! Bangalore have done brilliantly after they lost two early wickets. Both Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis have counter-attacked and now they have got their side in a strong position. The two need to go on though as we have seen in this tournament, Bangalore have struggled to finish the innings well. Rajasthan on the other hand, are in desperate need of a wicket. If not, they will be chasing a big score on a wicket which jst might get slower. An interesting |
| 7.1 : Jason Holder to Faf du Plessis, Angled into the pads, this is worked through square leg for one. |
| 7.2 : Jason Holder to Glenn Maxwell, Fuller and on middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for one. |
| 7.3 : Jason Holder to Faf du Plessis, A slower one on the pads, this is nudged around the corner for one. Cautious batting so far against Holder. |
| 7.4 : Jason Holder to Glenn Maxwell, That one holds in the surface a touch! Shorter and on middle, Glenn Maxwell looks to pull but misses. It hits the body and rolls on the off side. A leg bye taken. |
| 7.5 : Jason Holder to Faf du Plessis, Angled into the pads, this is worked through square leg for one. |
| 7.6 : Jason Holder to Glenn Maxwell, Angled into the pads, this is worked through mid-wicket for one more. A tidy over then by Holder. |
| 8.1 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, Well bowled! Chahal now has three outside the ring on the off side. He has his square leg up. He bowls it wide outside off and quicker. Maxwell chops it to covers. |
| 8.2 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, This is dragged! Slows it up and bowls it outside off. Maxwell drags it wide of mid-wicket for two. |
| 8.3 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, WIDE! This is the issue for Chahal right now. He can't get too straight and with Maxwell shuffling across, he looks to go wide outside off but bowls it way too wide. Wided. |
| Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, Maxwell is only eyeing the leg side. He drags this one from well outside off again and it goes through mid-wicket for one. |
| 8.4 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Faf du Plessis, Flatter and on off, this is pushed to cover for one. |
| 8.5 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, Just the one! Yet again wide outside off, bowling to his field. A run as this is pushed through covers. |
| 8.6 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Faf du Plessis, Just the single to end! On middle, this is pushed down to long on for one. |
| 9.1 : Jason Holder to Faf du Plessis, That one held in the surface! On middle, a slower one. Defended. |
| 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. |
| 9.3 : Jason Holder to Faf du Plessis, Another one! On middle, this is worked through square leg for one. |
| 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? |
| 9.5 : Jason Holder to Glenn Maxwell, Full and on middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for one. |
| 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. |
| 10.1 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, That has held in the surface again. On off, this one lands and comes off slowly. Maxwell checks his shot. It goes to cover. |
| 0.0 : Ravichandran Ashwin is back on! Big moment in the game. Two right-handers and an offie comes on. |
| 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. |
| 10.6 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, A single to end! On middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for one. |
| Change! Samson knows he has to break this stand and he gets on Boult to bowl his last over. |
| 11.1 : Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, Shorter and on middle, this is pulled through mid-wicket for one. 100-run stand up. Top, top partnership. Very well capable of being a match-winning one. |
| 11.2 : Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, FIVE WIDES! Bonus runs! Runs just not stopping! This is down the leg side. Glenn Maxwell looks to flick but misses. It goes past the diving Samson and into the fence. |
| 10.3 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, The innovation comes out but does not come good! On the pads. Maxwell looks to play the reverse sweep, it hits the underedge, then the pad and rolls on the leg side for one. |
| 10.4 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, On middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for one. |
| 11.2 : Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, That is brilliant fielding from Devdutt Padikkal! Shorter and outside off, this is cut past point. Devdutt Padikkal in the deep, runs to his left, dives and pushes it back in. Two taken. |
| 10.5 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, Steps out but that is spotted. The length is shortened. Maxwell looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. It rolls on the leg side for one. Leg bye. |
| 11.3 : Trent Boult to Glenn Maxwell, Angles this one on middle from around the wicket. Glenn looks to force it against the angle through the off side but gets an inside edge onto the pads. It rolls on the off side for one. |
| 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. |
| 11.5 : Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, Good length and on off, Faf pushes it to covers. A rare dot. |
| 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. |
| 12.1 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, Out comes the reverse sweep, this is played through point for one. |
| 12.2 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, On middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for one. |
| 12.3 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, Now then, Ravichandran Ashwin is now happy with it being given a wide and it has been challenged! That just seemed like a wide. Maxwell did move around in his crease but it was down the leg side. The question is, did it hit the pad? It remains wide! Rajasthan lose a review. This is fired down the leg side. Maxwell looks to sweep but misses. Samson does not take it cleanly and a run is taken. |
| Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, Lands short! Shorter and outside off, Faf cuts but this lands short of point. |
| 12.4 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, Angled into the pads, Faf works it around the corner for one. He is happy to give Maxwell the strike at the moment. |
| 12.5 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, On middle, this is pushed down to long on for one. |
| 12.6 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, On middle, this is worked wide of the long on fielder for one. |
| 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. |
| 0.0 : DRINKS! Bangalore continue to remain on top! They are well on course to get something over 200 and they would be eyeing that. The only way Rajasthan can stop them from doing that is by taking wickets. Can they do so or will the hosts continue to score freely? |
| 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 : 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. |
| 13.4 : Sandeep Sharma to Glenn Maxwell, Two! That is brilliant from Devdutt Padikkal again! He has saved four to five runs already! We were almost certain this is going to be the third boundary of the over as this is cut through point. It was racing away. Devdutt Padikkal runs to his left, dives and keeps it down to two. |
| 13.5 : Sandeep Sharma to Glenn Maxwell, Two more! A full toss, a low one on middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for two. |
| 13.6 : Sandeep Sharma to Glenn Maxwell, A single to end which means Maxwell keeps strike! Shorter and outside off, this is guided through point for one. |
| 14.1 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, Nicely bowled! This lands on middle, holds its line a touch! Glenn Maxwell looks to defend but it goes off the outer half to point. |
| 14.2 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, Well fielded! Shorter and outside off, Glenn Maxwell looks to cut but it goes off the outer half towards short third man. He dives and keeps it down to one. |
| 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. |
| 14.4 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Mahipal Lomror, On middle, this is worked down to long on for one. |
| 14.5 : Ravichandran Ashwin to Glenn Maxwell, Two! The reverse comes out, it is dragged from outside leg through covers. Two taken. |
| 15.1 : Jason Holder to Mahipal Lomror, A single as this is worked through mid-wicket. |
| 15.2 : Jason Holder to Dinesh Karthik, Just another one! Shorter and on the body, this is nudged on the leg side for one. |
| 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 |
| 15.3 : Jason Holder to Mahipal Lomror, On middle, this is worked towards mid-wicket for one more. |
| 15.4 : Jason Holder to Dinesh Karthik, Another single as this is nudged on the leg side. |
| 16.1 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Dinesh Karthik, Slower through the air and on middle, defended. |
| 16.2 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Dinesh Karthik, Shorter and outside off, this is cut through point for one. |
| 15.5 : Jason Holder to Mahipal Lomror, Direct hit and Karthik was a goner! On middle, this is worked to short fine leg. Karthik calls for one. The fielder has a shy and luckily for Karthik he misses. |
| 15.6 : Jason Holder to Dinesh Karthik, Another good over from Jason Holder! On the body, Karthik looks to pull but misses, it hits the body and rolls beside the pitch. One taken. Leg bye. |
| 16.4 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Suyash Prabhudessai, On off, defended. |
| A run out appeal but Suyash Prabhudessai is already walking off! |
| 16.6 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Wanindu Hasaranga, Shorter and on off, this is pushed through covers for one. A brilliant over. Probably one which could get Rajasthan back into the game. |
| 17.1 : Jason Holder to Wanindu Hasaranga, A full toss on off, this is pushed back to the bowler. |
| 17.2 : Jason Holder to Wanindu Hasaranga, Shorter and on middle, this is pulled through mid-wicket for one. |
| 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 : 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 : 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. |
| 17.4 : Jason Holder to Dinesh Karthik, A loud appeal but turned down! Holder likes it and Samson reviews it. May be going down leg or clipping at max. Let us see. NOT OUT! It indeed misses leg! Rajasthan have lost both their reviews. This is full and angled into the pads. Karthik looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad. A dot in the end. |
| 17.5 : Jason Holder to Dinesh Karthik, Just the one! Full and on middle, this i worked towards deep mid-wicket. The fielder is a lot straighter there. A run taken. |
| 17.6 : Jason Holder to Wanindu Hasaranga, A dot to end! Dots are gold at this stage! Shorter and outside off, Wanindu Hasaranga looks to cut but misses. |
| 18.1 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Dinesh Karthik, Shorter and outside off, Karthik slaps it through covers for one. |
| 18.2 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Wanindu Hasaranga, Easy two! Shorter and outside off, this is slapped through covers for two. |
| 18.3 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Wanindu Hasaranga, Wanindu Hasaranga steps out, Chahal bowls it wide outside off, it goes off the toe-end down to long off for one. |
| 18.4 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Dinesh Karthik, On middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for one. |
| 18.5 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Wanindu Hasaranga, WIDE! Well outside off, left alone. |
| Yuzvendra Chahal to Wanindu Hasaranga, Dealing in singles at the moment. Something Rajasthan won't mind! Slower and on off, Wanindu Hasaranga looks to hit it way too hard, it goes off the inner half down to long on for one. |
| 18.6 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Dinesh Karthik, Two to end! Shorter and outside off, this is cut through point for two. That is a top over from Chahal. Going for no boundaries at this stage is brilliant. |
| 19.1 : Sandeep Sharma to David Willey, OUT! run out (Sanju Samson / Sandeep Sharma). |
| 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. |
| 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 : 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 : 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 : 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. |
| 19.4 : Sandeep Sharma to Mohammed Siraj, Siraj does the right thing! Just guides it through point and gets Willey back on strike. |
| 19.5 : A review for a wide from Willey! Looks close. Could be touch and go. |
| 19.6 : Sandeep Sharma to David Willey, NOT A WIDE! A dot to end then! This is full and wide outside off. David Willey looks to repeat what he did on the previous ball. Tries to play the reverse paddle scoop but misses. He reviews for a wide but it is a fair delivery. A really good last over from Sandeep. Bangalore end with 189! |
| That is a brilliant comeback from Rajasthan but have to say Bangalore have got a really good score on the board, especially considering it is a day game. The start was not the best for them though as they lost Kohli and Shahbaz Ahmed early. Then though came the stand which turned the tide totaly. It was a massive 100-plus run partnerhisp between Maxwell and Faf. The former was a aggressor and the latter played second fiddle. When the two were batting, 220 looked possible but both fell in quick s |
| Rajasthan were brilliant with the ball at the start and towards the end! It was Boult who was brilliant with the new ball but Sandeep did not have the best of days and Ashwin too was expensive. They leaked quite a few runs in the middle overs but ensured they came back strongly towards the end courtesy Chahal and Holder. Now the target is a big one but Rajasthan is a quality side with top batters. The wicket is slightly on the slower side and Bangalore will back their bowlers to defend it. Stay |
