| 1.2 : 1.2: Jason Holder to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! It has not worked at the top of the order for Cheeku! The wicket that Hyderabad were looking for, comes to them. Fullish and on the pads, Kohli looks to tuck it fine of the keeper, to the fine leg boundary. But it seems to have clipped the glove and gone just to the left of the keeper. Shreevats takes a good diving catch. Virat did not wait much, started walking. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Jason Holder to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Bangalore get their first boundary. Shortish ball on middle, Aaron rocks back and swings it away to the deep backward square leg boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Jason Holder to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! TAKEN! DDP has not timed that at all. He has batted well for Bangalore this season, but not this time. Short ball, Padikkal goes back and looks to pull but he does not time it well at all. It was uppish and over the head of Priyam Garg at short mid-wicket. The fielder had to leap and take it. He does so, taking a wonderful catch. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Sandeep Sharma to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Useful. Length ball outside off, Aaron gives himself some room on the off side. He strokes it through the covers. Kane gives it a chase but the ball wins the race, to the fence. |
| 5.6: T Natarajan to Aaron Finch, EDGED AND FOUR! He got it away. Full and outside off, Finch looks to drive on the up. But the ball takes the outside edge and goes past a diving backward point fielder, to the deep, for a boundary. Bangalore are 32/2 at the end of the Powerplay. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Rashid Khan to Aaron Finch, SIX! Finch gets enough. Floated around off, Finch gets down and mows a slog sweep well over deep mid-wicket. 2000 runs for him in the Indian T20 League. He has played for 8 franchises. |
| 10.2: Shahbaz Nadeem to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! Finch gives himself some room on the off side, but gives the fielder a good chance. Shahbaz Nadeem picks a wicket. Tossed up around off, Finch gives room and looks to power this over covers. However, he does not time it well. It goes high in the air ahead of sweeper cover. Abdul Samad, the man there, runs in and takes a good catch. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Shahbaz Nadeem to AB de Villiers, FOUR! It was edged but still thumped. Flatter and around off, ABD rocks back and looks to cut but gets a thick outside edge. It goes well wide of the keeper and races away to the third man fence. The fielder gives a chase but to no avail. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Shahbaz Nadeem to Moeen Ali, OUT! RUN OUT! What is going on? Rashid Khan, you beauty! A free hit and out? Yes, run outs are possible! Very full and around off, Moeen Ali jams it out to Rashid Khan at cover. He wants a single and takes off. Rashid collects the ball, flicks a throw at the stumps at the bowler's end and hits. Ali is nowhere in the picture. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Shahbaz Nadeem to AB de Villiers, FOUR! Nice shot! Short ball around middle, de Villiers pulls it wide of the long on fielder. Holder runs to his right and tries to stop but is late in getting down. A boundary to begin. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: T Natarajan to AB de Villiers, FOUR! Well, de Villiers has heard Harsha Bhogle all right, the commentator asked him to get going. And AB does so. Full and outside off, he thrashes it over covers and gets a boundary. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, FOUR! He is getting a move on here, de Villiers. This time he lunges forward considerably and sweeps the fuller ball through backward square leg for a boundary. The fielder in the deep gave chase but to no avail. |
| 15.4: Jason Holder to Shivam Dube, OUT! TAKEN! Warner takes the catch. What an addition Holder has been to the Hyderabad squad, into the attack again, takes a wicket. Full and on leg, Shivam closes the face of his bat to flick but gets a leading edge. It is uppish and goes to the left of Warner at mid off. David rushes there and takes it comfortably. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Jason Holder to AB de Villiers, FOUR! ABD finds the gap well. 50 to him as well. Scored half the runs for his side so far. Holder bowls a low full toss, searching for the yorker, Mr 360 takes it on the full and clips it well wide of the deep mid-wicket fielder, to the wide long on fence. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: T Natarajan to Washington Sundar, OUT! CAUGHT! Safely held. Abdul Samad has one of the safest pair of hands in this Hyderabad side. Full and around off, Sundar looks to cream that over the off side but ends up hitting it straight in the air to Samad at deep point. Abdul did not have to move an inch. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: T Natarajan to AB de Villiers, OUT! BOWLED! Outstanding again, from T Natarajan. AB is frustrated with himself. A well made 56 from 43 balls though. A yorker on middle, de Villiers camps back and tries to dig it out but misses. The middle pole is knocked out. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: T Natarajan to Navdeep Saini, FOUR! Gets it away for a boundary, does Saini. Too full and too wide from Natarajan, Saini lifts it over point. No one there and the ball races away for a boundary. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: T Natarajan to Mohammed Siraj, FOUR! Clever from Siraj, now he connects. Fullish ball outside off, Siraj moves to the off side, this time he manages to scoop it over short fine leg and gets the desired boundary. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Mohammed Siraj to Shreevats Goswami, OUT! TAKEN! A breakthrough straightaway for Bangalore. Siraj dangles a full length carrot outside off, Goswami goes for the drive. However, he gets an outside edge, it goes to the left of de Villiers. ABD, dives and takes it. A couple of wobbles but he manages to hold onto it. Siraj is pumped! |
| 2.4: Mohammed Siraj to Manish Pandey, SIX! He has got hold of that, alright. Too short, Pandey pulls it in front of square on the leg side, gets it over deep mid-wicket. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Navdeep Saini to Manish Pandey, FOUR! In the air... but just wide of mid on. Fullish and around off, Pandey strokes it to the left of mid on. It was uppish as well. Dube, who was at mid on, runs and dives but it falls short of him. To compound matters, it sneaks through for a boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Navdeep Saini to Manish Pandey, FOUR! He has found the gap for four. Full and outside off, Pandey stands tall and drives it through the covers for a boundary. Nobody moved, no point in doing so. Hyderabad need 109 runs in 96 balls. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Washington Sundar to David Warner, FOUR! Sundar is greeted with a boundary. Flatter on off, Warner rocks back and away and cuts it between cover-point and cover for a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Washington Sundar to Manish Pandey, FOUR! This is a fine shot. On the shorter side around off, Manish goes back and punches it nicely between mid off and extra cover. The ball races away for a boundary. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Mohammed Siraj to David Warner, FOUR! Shouts of catch it but nobody will, it was over the infield and races away for a boundary. Short and wide outside off, Warner goes back and lifts it over the infield at covers and gets a boundary. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Mohammed Siraj to David Warner, FOUR! There was a man in the deep but he could do nothing. Short and wide outside off again, Warner cuts it through point. Moeen Ali, the sweeper cover fielder, had no chance. A boundary results. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Mohammed Siraj to David Warner, OUT! CAUGHT! There was a definite sound there. Bangalore are pumped and are celebrating. Length ball on top of middle and leg, Warner looks to play at it. There seemed to have been some sound as the ball passes through him. De Villiers takes it diving to his right and appeals for a caught behind. It is not given. Kohli has a long chat with with the bowler and the keeper and flashes the 'T' in the nick of time. In comes Ultra Edge and there is a spike as |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Adam Zampa to Manish Pandey, OUT! CAUGHT! The nerves always get the better of one. Wonderful catch from AB. Flatter ball outside off, Pandey camps back and looks to cut. The ball though keeps a tad low as it approaches him. He cuts but gets an underedge. De Villiers was alert and takes it with aplomb. Hyderabad need 77 runs in 69 balls. The required rate slowly climbing up. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to Priyam Garg, OUT! TAKEN! Good catch from Zampa. Australians are very good when fielding in the deep. Floats a legbreak on off, Garg looks to go big over covers. He hits it in the air with the turn but does not time it well. It goes high in the air. Zampa, who was at sweeper cover, comes running to his right, judges the ball well and takes a very good catch. Not at all easy that one. Hyderabad need 65 runs in 49 balls still. |
| 13.5: Washington Sundar to Kane Williamson, SIX! He has cleared the ropes for a maximum. Full and in the slot on off, Williamson slogs that over deep mid-wicket. More than 20 balls since a boundary came before this ball. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Kane Williamson, SIX! Well, he goes for it, chooses the moment and deposits it for a biggie. Floated on the leg pole, Kane Williamson gets down and sweeps this mightily over deep square leg. Over the digital fan board for a maximum. Hyderabad need 35 runs in 24 balls with the required rate a touch under 9 now. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Shivam Dube to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Wonderful use of the feet from KW. Full and in the slot around off, Kane backs away and creams it through extra cover. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Navdeep Saini to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Clever from Williamson. Outside off, he opens the face of the bat just about enough to run it down to the third man boundary. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Mohammed Siraj to Jason Holder, FOUR! The third man not being there is costing Bangalore here. Full and outside off, Holder opens the face of his bat and looks to heave this on the off side. But he ends up carving it behind square on the off side off the outside edge. The ball races away for a boundary. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Navdeep Saini to Jason Holder, FOUR! Crunched. Full and outside off, Holder clobbers it through the carpet through covers. It was well wide of long off. 4 from 3 balls now. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Navdeep Saini to Jason Holder, FOUR! GAME OVER! Very full and well outside off, Jason Holder moves across and squeezes it out through point. The ball races away for a boundary. HYDERABAD WIN BY 6 WICKETS AND GO THROUGH TO QUALIFIER 2! |
