| 0.4 : 0.4: Pat Cummins to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Sweet timing! Classy batting! Full and on middle, Shaw lifts it over mid on and it goes to the fence on one bounce. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: Shivam Mavi to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Up and over! Short and wide outside off, Dhawan waits for the ball and then cuts it over short third man and into the fence. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Pat Cummins to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Up and over! Nicely played! Shortish and on middle, Shaw swivels and pulls it over wide mid on and bags a boundary. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Pat Cummins to Prithvi Shaw, SIX! Nailed! This is right off the middle. It is a nothing delivery. Short and it sits up to be hit. Shaw rocks back and pulls it well over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 3.5: Varun Chakravarthy to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Slightly fuller and Dhawan makes Varun pay. He just lofts it over covers and it races away to the fence. One more over in which a boundary is scored. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Sunil Narine to Shikhar Dhawan, SIX! This is cracking batting from Dhawan. Tossed up and around off, Dhawan sits down and nails it over deep square leg for a biggie. |

| 7.4 : 7.4: Shivam Mavi to Prithvi Shaw, SIX! Take that! This is incredible shot from Shaw! Good length ball just outside off, Shaw shuffles towards the leg side to make room and then creams it over extra cover. It sails over the fence. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Varun Chakravarthy to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! CAUGHT! A fine catch from Morgan and it is end of a fine opening stand for Delhi. Tossed up around off, Dhawan goes for the slog sweep again. He smoked two over the fence against Narine in the last over. So he is confident about it. But this time he doesn't time it and ends up getting a top edge towards mid-wicket. Morgan calls for it and keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a fine catch. A good little knock from Dhawan is over. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Shivam Mavi to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! The skipper joins the party now! 14 from the over! Full and wide outside off, Iyer drills it to the left side of the bowler. Mavi tries to get his hands to the ball but he has no chance as Iyer hit it really hard. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Sunil Narine to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! Slammed away! Tossed up full and little wide outside off, Iyer drags it from there via a slog and deposits it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Prithvi Shaw, SIX! That is gone all the way! Shaw makes room and Nagarkoti bowls a slower one and on off. It is smashed over the long on fence for a biggie. Fifty up for him, it is a very fluent innings from him. He needs to go on though. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! Picked up and it sails over! It is angled into the pads, Iyer whips it and it goes all the way. Second biggie in the over. 100 up for Delhi. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Varun Chakravarthy to Prithvi Shaw, EDGY FOUR! It is fuller and outside off, Shaw looks to drive but it goes off the outside edge and it races away to the third man fence. Kolkata don't mind how they come as long as they do. |

| 11.6 : 11.6: Varun Chakravarthy to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Put away! There is not a lot of margin for error! It is shorter and outside off, Iyer plays it nice and late. He cuts it through backward point for a boundary. 16 from the over and 32 have come from the last two. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Prithvi Shaw, SIX! It is raining biggies here! Shaw is on a roll! It is shorter and angled into the batter. Shaw pulls it hard and well over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! In the air and taken! Length and on middle, Shaw looks to flat-bat it but only manages to hit it high up in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Gill there settles under it and takes it nicely. End of a wonderful innings by Shaw and Kolkata will be happy this stand has ended. They will now hope to pull things back a little! |

| 15.1 : 15.1: Shivam Mavi to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! THRASHED! Welcome back into the attack! It is full and on off, Pant smashes it hard and down towards the long off fence for a boundary. Ideal start to the over. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Shivam Mavi to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Cummins slips and a boundary! Fifty up for Iyer, fastest for him in the Indian T20 League. He though would know he needs to go on. It is fuller and on middle, it is whipped uppishly wide of long on. Cummins runs there, he seems to overrun the ball. Then tries to adjust but slips and falls over. It goes behind for a boundary. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Shivam Mavi to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Slapped! Too short and too wide and Pant makes him pay. He smashes it over covers and it goes for a one-bounce boundary. Third in the over. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Shivam Mavi to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! In the gap! A huge over comes to an end! What batting from Pant. This is not a very bad delivery. It is full and on middle, Pant whips it through mid-wicket and the ball races away to the fence. 18 from the over. |
| 15.6: Shivam Mavi to Rishabh Pant, SIX! Cummins misses by a little and he pays the price. It is a full toss on middle, Iyer lifts it right off the middle and it goes over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Pat Cummins to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Nice and fine! Iyer shuffles across and this is a yorker on middle, Iyer looks to flick but it goes off the toe-end past the short fine leg fielder and into the fence. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Pat Cummins to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Through the off side now! This is crazy hitting. It is fuller and outside off, Iyer makes room and pierces the gap through covers. No stopping that. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Andre Russell to Rishabh Pant, SIX! What a shot! Length delivery on middle, Pant lofts it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Andre Russell to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! That is put away! Short ball on middle, Pant pulls it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Andre Russell to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Poor delivery from Russell! Full toss on middle, Pant lofts it over mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Andre Russell to Rishabh Pant, OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliant innings from Pant! Full delivery on middle, Pant lofts it over mid on but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards long on where Shivam Mavi takes a comfortable catch. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Varun Chakravarthy to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! In the gap again! Short and outside off, IUyer pulls it hard and it is wide of long on and it races awya to the fence. Another over which starts with a boundary. |

| 19.1 : 19.1: Andre Russell to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! CAUGHT! Stoinis departs! Full delivery on the pads, Stoinis flicks it over fine leg but does not get the timing on it. It goes towards the fielder where Varun Chakravarthy takes a good catch. Good start to the last over. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Andre Russell to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX! This time connects! Not right off the middle but short boundaries. It is full and in the slot. Hetmyer lofts it well over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Anrich Nortje to Sunil Narine, OUT! TIMBER! After bowling a short ball, Nortje goes for the fuller one. Narine though is expecting another short ball and hence he is staying back. Narine tries to adjust and slam it on the off side but misses. The ball hits the stumps behind. Nortje is pumped. |
| 2.2: Ravichandran Ashwin to Nitish Rana, SIX! Boom! With the angle a much-needed biggie! This is angled into Rana. He brings out the slog sweep and sends it sailing into the mid-wicket stand. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Ravichandran Ashwin to Nitish Rana, SIX! It is so hard to bowl on this ground! That is nowhere off the middle but still goes all the way. It is tossed up on middle, Rana lofts it over the long on fence for a biggie. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Anrich Nortje to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Up and over! It is fuller and on off, Gill lofts it with a lovely straight bat over the mid off fielder and a boundary. Good start to the over. Runs now flowing. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Anrich Nortje to Shubman Gill, SIX! Just over the fence! Gill now joins the act. Shorter and on middle, Gill pulls but it is not right off the middle. It still carries over the mid-wicket fence. That is about this ground, you just need to connect decently. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Marcus Stoinis to Shubman Gill, FOUR! That is brilliantly pulled! Shorter and on middle, Gill gets on top of the bounce and pulls it all along the ground through backward point for a boundary. |
| 5.2: Harshal Patel to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Edgy but Kolkata won't care! This is a slower one outside off, Rana swings but it goes off the outside edge and over short third man for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Harshal Patel to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Just opens the face of the bat but not sure if he wanted to get it that fine! On off, it is one more slower one. Rana plays it with the open face of the bat. It goes off the outside edge past Pant and down to the third man fence. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Ravichandran Ashwin to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Yes, it does! Short and wide outside off once again, this time Rana whacks it through point and finds the fence. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Amit Mishra to Shubman Gill, OUT! CAUGHT! Mishra strikes! He bowled superbly in the last over and almost got a wicket in that over and this time the almost is changed to a wicket. He bowls one slower through the air and around middle, Gill goes for the slog sweep but ends up getting a top edge. It balloons high, just to the left of Pant, the keeper. He settles under the ball and takes the catch. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Amit Mishra to Nitish Rana, SIX! Hamered over the bowler's head. The no ball is costly. Full and around off, Rana slams it over the bowler's head for a maximum. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Kagiso Rabada to Andre Russell, FOUR! CRASHED! There was a fielder at long on but he hardly got time to move. A slower short ball around off, Russell powers it to the long on fence. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Kagiso Rabada to Andre Russell, SIX! BANG! Russell gets one in the slot. He hammers it over the bowler's head for a maximum. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Kagiso Rabada to Andre Russell, OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliant catch and Rabada has the last laugh, once again. He is pumped up. He bangs it short and bowls it outside off, Russell swings hard again. This time he gets a top edge. The ball goes towards third man. Pant hares back, Nortje from third man runs to his left and does well to slide in and take a superb catch. 135 more needed in 61 balls. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Marcus Stoinis to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Need a lot more do the Kolkata side! Shorter and outside off, Rana waits for it and then cuts it through point. It races away to the fence. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Harshal Patel to Nitish Rana, SIX! That is over the ropes! Patel misses the yorker by a little. It ends up being a full ball on middle. Rana lofts it over the long on fence for a huge one. 9 from the first three balls. Need to keep going. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Harshal Patel to Nitish Rana, OUT! TAKEN! Patel gets his revenge and Kolkata are in huge trouble here! The well-set Rana is out of here. Having got his eye in, he needed to go on, especially now. It is a slower short ball outside off. There is tennis ball like bounce on this one. Rana looks to pull but fails to get on top of the bounce. He hits it high up in the air towards deep square leg where Patel takes it. 112 needed in 44. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Harshal Patel to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! That is another superb catch! Two in two for Patel and is this the over which wins the game for Delhi? Well, they are right on top now. A shorter one and on middle, Karthik looks to pull but is hurried into the stroke. It hits the splice and lobs towards mid off. Shikhar Dhawan takes a brilliant catch diving forward. Patel is on a hat-trick. Probably now the onus of chasing this total down falls on Morgan. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Anrich Nortje to Pat Cummins, EDGY FOUR! Shortish and outside off, Cummins looks to defend but that goes off the outside edge and wide of the keeper and down to the third man fence. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Anrich Nortje to Pat Cummins, OUT! Another one bites the dust and Kolkata are falling apart here! Nortje takes one now. It is a short ball outside off, Cummins looks to upper cut it but ends up slicing it down towards third man where Harshal Patel takes a simple catch. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Anrich Nortje to Eoin Morgan, SIX! That is some way to get off the mark! It is banged in short and on the body, Morgan stays back and pulls it hard. It goes over the square leg fence. If Kolkata are to chase this down, he has to do majority of the scoring. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Kagiso Rabada to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! Morgan in the act! Low full toss outside off, he hammers it over extra cover and fetches a boundary. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Kagiso Rabada to Eoin Morgan, SIX! Clears the fence this time, by just. Rabada goes for the yorker but misses out as Morgan takes a step forward and slams it over the deep mid-wicket fielder. The fielder there leaps and tries to catch but the ball evades him and goes over the ropes. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Marcus Stoinis to Rahul Tripathi, SIX! BOOM! That's out of here! Tripathi joins the party now. A length ball just outside off, Tripathi slogs it way over the deep mid-wicket fence for a massive six. |

| 17.1 : 17.1: Kagiso Rabada to Eoin Morgan, SIX! Where's that going? It is on the roof! What a start to the over. Short ball angled in, Morgan moves inside and powers it way over deep square leg. A massive six. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Kagiso Rabada to Eoin Morgan, Six! Another one! Game on! A length ball from Rabada. A slower one too. It is in the hitting zone of Morgan. Morgan nails the slog once again and clears the fence at deep mid-wicket this time. Crazy hitting! |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Kagiso Rabada to Eoin Morgan, SIX! Three in a row! WOW! Morgan, where were you all this while? Rabada goes for the yorker again but misses again. A high full toss. What does Morgan does? He thumps it over deep square leg once again for half a dozen. 18 from the first 3 balls. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Kagiso Rabada to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Kagiso Rabada to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! Drilled down the ground. 23 from the over. Another attempted yorker from Rabada goes wrong. Full and on middle, Tripathi slams it down the ground and fetches a boundary. 31 needed in 12 balls. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Anrich Nortje to Eoin Morgan, OUT! CAUGHT! Morgan picks out the fielder to perfection. A short ball just outside off, Morgan goes for the pull but this time he doesn't time it well. He ends up giving a simple catch to Hetmyer at deep square leg. 29 needed in 9 balls. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Marcus Stoinis to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! What a way to begin the over! A full toss outside off, Tripathi slices it over point and gets a boundary. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Marcus Stoinis to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! TIMBER! That is a terrific response from Stoinis. A superb yorker from him. Tripathi fails to get bat on ball and the stumps behind gets destroyed. A terrific innings from him though. Coming so low down the order and then giving his side a chance. |
