| 0.3 : 0.3: Deepak Chahar to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Thumped away! One sighter was all Gill needed! He skips down the track and makes into a half volley, it is hit hard past mid off for the first boundary of the game. These two are oozing with confidence and this shot just shows that. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Deepak Chahar to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Lovely! Yes, it is another gift, it is way too full but still has to be put away. Outside off, Gill creams it through covers for a boundary. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Deepak Chahar to Shubman Gill, OUT! RUN OUT! This time nothing can save Gill! A huge mix-up! Also, brilliant from Rayudu! Early wicket for Chennai and the good start for Kolkata has been cut short. This is angled into the pads, Gill works it towards mid-wicket. He sets off. Iyer takes a start but then sends his partner back. Rayudu at mid-wicket gets to the ball quickly. He needed to hit the stumps as there was nobody to collect the ball. He does so and the dive also does not save Gill. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Sam Curran to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! Excellently played by Tripathi! Shortish ball around middle, Tripathi dances down the track and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Deepak Chahar to Venkatesh Iyer, FOUR! He can't as the last ball is guided away! Really nicely played! Deft touch! Outside off, Iyer opens the face of the bat and guides it past short third man. This one races away to the fence. |

| 4.2 : 4.2: Josh Hazlewood to Venkatesh Iyer, FOUR! Just wide! Outside off and on a length. Iyer guides it past short third man and this one races away again. Kolkata are off to a flier here. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Josh Hazlewood to Venkatesh Iyer, FOUR! Another excellent shot! Very clever! Short and on middle, Iyer hangs back and guides it over short third man for another boundary. Picking his spots really well. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Shardul Thakur to Venkatesh Iyer, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Shardul Thakur comes into the attack and strikes on his very first ball. Venkatesh Iyer has to depart quite early. He was playing some clever shots but he did not play with a carefree attitude in this innings. Thakur serves a good-length ball, outside off. Venkatesh Iyer stays back and looks to heave it away, but only manages to get the thinnest of outside edges. The ball goes towards MS Dhoni who collects the ball easily. Thakur app |

| 9.1 : 9.1: Josh Hazlewood to Eoin Morgan, OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Hazlewood gets into the wicket's column. Thanks to the fabulous effort from Faf du Plessis in the deep. A length ball, on off. Eoin Morgan lifts it towards long on hoping to clear the fence. But he does not find the distance on it. Faf du Plessis in the deep collects the ball and realizes the momentum is taking him over the ropes. Faf du Plessis lobs the ball up, steps out, comes back in and takes it easily. They do take it upstairs to check |

| 12.2 : 12.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! TIMBER! Jadeja was bowling a wonderful spell so far and he has deserved this wicket. Tripathi was playing so well and he departs now. Kolkata would have wanted him to stay out there. Jadeja bowls a full ball on off, Tripathi gets his bat down to play the reverse paddle but misses and the ball goes onto hit the stumps. Kolkata are in a spot of bother now. He picked the wrong ball. It was a little too full. Timely wicket. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Josh Hazlewood to Nitish Rana, SIX! Rana has picked the bones out of that! Good-length ball around off, Rana smacks it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Sam Curran to Andre Russell, FOUR! No fine leg and Russell gets his first boundary! Length ball on the pads, Russell flicks it to fine leg for a boundary. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Sam Curran to Andre Russell, FOUR! Just over the point fielder! Good-length ball outside off, Russell stretches and then cuts it. It goes just over the point fielder who jumped to catch it but in vain. It races to the deep point fence. |

| 16.4 : 16.4: Shardul Thakur to Andre Russell, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Shardul Thakur gets the big man going. Andre Russell is not happy with himself. Shardul Thakur has been simply magical with the ball. He serves a full ball, outside off. Russell stays inside the crease and looks to hammer it down the ground. But the ball takes the inside edge and goes onto rattle the stumps. Kolkata slip further. Russell should have tried to hit it over the off side but since he looked to go a lot straighter, he went ont |

| 17.4 : 17.4: Deepak Chahar to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries. Rana connecting well now. A full toss and on off. Rana comes down the track and lifts it over cover. The ball races away to the fence. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Sam Curran to Dinesh Karthik, SIX! Karthik is on the wheel. He is taking charge now. Curran serves a length ball, on off. Karthik clears his front leg and smokes it over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. That was some shot, it was quite full, he did well to get the elevation he wanted. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Sam Curran to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Karthik. This time on the off side. A length ball, outside off. Karthik throws his bat at it. The ball takes the outside edge and flies past short third man. The ball races away to the fence. Not good from Curran. He has a leg side field but this time goes wide outside off. 10 from the first two balls of this over. Curran under pressure. 170 now looks possible. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Sam Curran to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Nicely played. A full-length ball, on off. Karthik paddles it towards fine leg. The ball ends up in the boundary. 19 runs off the over. He played that brilliantly. It was a slower one, he waited for it and right at the end managed to hit it past short fine leg. A huge over. Probably one which changes the momentum of the game completely. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Josh Hazlewood to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! EDGY! It does not matter how the runs come at this time. A back-of-a-length ball, around leg. Karthik stays back and looks to pull it away. The ball goes off the glove and above the keeper's head. It goes into the boundary at third man. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Josh Hazlewood to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A good cameo by Karthik, that is what is side needed. A full-length ball, outside off. Karthik looks to push it out to the off side. He only manages to get the bottom end of the blade on it. The ball goes to the right of MS Dhoni. He moves to that side and grabs the catch. Josh Hazlewood puts in an appeal. The umpire does not raise his finger but takes it upstairs to confirm with the third umpire. The replays roll in and confirm the ba |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Josh Hazlewood to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Poor communication in the deep and a good end for Kolkata. A length ball, on off. Rana punches it down the ground towards long off. The two fielders in the deep, one from long off and another from long on attack the ball at the same time. The man from long on puts in a dive but the ball goes through and ends up into the fence. If the communication would've been clearer between the two, this could've been stopped. Kolkata end their innings at 171/6. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Prasidh Krishna to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Superb timing! Lovely stuff from Gaikwad! Shortish ball outside off, Gaikwad plays the ball late and then times it through cover-point for a boundary. |

| 4.4 : 4.4: Sunil Narine to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX! This has gone all the way! What a player! Loopy ball on off, Gaikwad dances down and then just nonchalantly lifts it over long off for a biggie. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Lockie Ferguson to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Cracking shot! A full-length ball, around off. Faf du Plessis drives it through cover. The ball races away to the boundary. |

| 8.2 : 8.2: Andre Russell to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! CAUGHT! A good comeback by Andre Russell. He draws the first blood. Russell serves a length ball, on the pads. Gaikwad is a little early into his shot. He looks to flick it to the leg side. But the ball takes the leading edge and floats towards cover. Eoin Morgan takes the simplest of catches there. The stand of 74 runs has been broken finally. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Lockie Ferguson to Moeen Ali, FOUR! Nice shot! A full-length ball, on middle. Ali hangs back and flicks it past mid on. The bal races away to the boundary. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Lockie Ferguson to Moeen Ali, SIX! BANG! What an end to the over. Ferguson bangs in a short delivery, on off. Ali stays back and smokes it over the square leg fence for a biggie. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Andre Russell to Moeen Ali, FOUR! Finds the gap! Moeen is dealing in boundaries now! Outside off, this is hit through covers. This one races away to the fence. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Andre Russell to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Just wide and this game is slipping out of Kolkata's hands quickly! Shorter and on the body, Faf looks to pull, it goes more off the glove wide of the diving keeper and to the fine leg fence. Second boundary in the over. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Prasidh Krishna to Faf du Plessis, OUT! TAKEN! That is a superb catch! It looked like it was going straight into Ferguson's hands but he had the sun in his eyes and it was swirling. Outstanding and there comes the wicket Kolkata needed. Faf walks back 7 short of a half ton. Kolkata now have a sniff. 70 needed in 51. Faf comes down the track and this is bowled short and outside off. Faf slaps it hard towards sweeper cover. Ferguson there, seems to have lost sight of the ball initially but i |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Sunil Narine to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! Up and over! Rayudu gets the welcome boundary. Narine has not had the best of days so far. Rayudu comes down the track and makes room, he lofts it over covers and it goes to the fence. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Sunil Narine to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! TIMBER! Narine hits back! A much-needed wicket for him and his team and this game is right in the balance now.

| 14.3 : 14.3: Sunil Narine to Suresh Raina, FOUR! Pulled away! Short and on the body, Raina pulls it through square leg for a boundary. Great way to get off the mark. |

| 17.1 : 17.1: Varun Chakravarthy to MS Dhoni, OUT! RUN OUT! Good work by Rahul Tripathi in the deep and Varun Chakravarthy does well to clips the bails and get rid of Suresh Raina. Game On!
