| 0.3 : 0.3: B Kumar to S Dhawan, FOUR! Cracked! Off the mark in style is Dhawan. Kumar goes full and outside off, Dhawan leans into it and strokes it through covers. A man in-form won't miss out on those deliveries. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: B Kumar to S Dhawan, FOUR! Through the leg side this time! You can't bowl to him there too. On the pads and Dhawan flicks it through square leg and it races away. Back-to-back boundaries for Dhawan. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: K Ahmed to P Shaw, FOUR! Up and over! This should get Shaw going. Slightly short and he pounces on it. He pulls it over mid on and bags a boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: K Ahmed to P Shaw, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries and this is even better! Slightly short again and Shaw is onto the length quickly. It is pulled with ease over the mid-wicket fielder and one bounce into the fence. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: K Ahmed to P Shaw, FOUR! Creamed! Through the off side now. Length and around off, Shaw waits for it and then strokes it right off the middle through covers. Third boundary in the over. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: M Nabi to S Dhawan, FOUR! Dhawan spoils the over with a cheeky stroke. He brings out the reverse sweep, connects well and hits it through backward point for a boundary. Delhi are dealing in boundaries. They are off to a brilliant start. Also, Dhawan now has 500 runs this season. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: B Kumar to P Shaw, FOUR! Class, top class this! Nothing bad with the delivery, it is on a length and around off, Shaw strokes it on the up past the diving mid off fielder and it races away. Dealing in boundaries is the young man. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: B Kumar to P Shaw, SIX! How easy was that? WOW! Kumar is taking a pounding here. He changes his length and bangs it short. Shaw spots it early and upper cuts it over the third man fence for a biggie. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: B Kumar to P Shaw, FOUR! Stand and deliver! 17 from the over so far! Length ball and outside off, Shaw smashes it over mid off and a boundary results. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: R Khan to P Shaw, FOUR! Up and over! A little too full and Rashid pays the price. Shaw lofts it over covers, no one in the deep and a boundary. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: D Hooda to P Shaw, SIX! He has got enough on it. Shaw is in some mood today. He dances down the track, gets to the pitch of it and hits it towards long on. Not sure if he got all of it but hits it well enough to clear the ropes. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: D Hooda to S Dhawan, OUT! Dhawan has been given out on the field! Brilliant, brilliant work from Saha. Top class stumping. Also, credit to Hooda as this was cleverly bowled by him. He sees Dhawan stepping down the track so fires it down the leg side. Dhawan looks to work it around the corner but misses. Now Saha moves swiftly to his right, collects the ball and then whips the bails off with a dive. Dhawan did try to make it in but Saha was quick there. The square leg umpire has his finger r |
| 8.4: R Khan to S Iyer, FOUR! Width on offer and it has been put away! Short and outside off, Iyer waits for it and then guides it very late past point for a boundary. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: K Ahmed to S Iyer, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The skipper is out of here. Hyderabad needed something and the bowling change has given that to them. Khaleel is pumped up as he strikes on his second ball of his new spell. It is on a length and outside off, not a lot of width on offer there. Iyer looks to guide it down to third man but the ball kisses the outside edge and goes into the mitts of the keeper. Hyderabad need to keep picking wickets here. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: K Ahmed to P Shaw, OUT! There goes another one! Khaleel has two in the over and this is the big wicket, it is of the well-set Shaw. Is this the momentum changing over? Khaleel bangs this short and the key here is the length, it is just outside off. Going away further. Shaw looks to drag his pull but does not get on top of the bounce. A top edge is induced and it lobs towards point where Shankar takes an easy catch. Tremendous over by Khaleel, just the 4 runs and two wickets from it. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: M Nabi to R Pant, SIX! That is colossal! Pant straightaway gets into the act. Nabi is guilty of bowling it very full. Pant tonks it over the long on fence for a biggie. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: B Thampi to C Munro, EDGY FOUR! Delhi won't mind! Munro steps down the track and Thampi bowls it short. Munro swings but only gets an inside edge which goes past the leg stump, past the keeper and into the fine leg fence. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: B Thampi to C Munro, SIX! Pace on the ball and Thampi pays the price. This is easy pickings for Munro. It is on the pads, Munro says thank you very much as he flicks it over the backward square leg fence. 53 needed in 37 now. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: R Khan to C Munro, OUT! Three reds and Munro has to take the long walk back, takes the review with him. Rashid strikes a vital blow in his last over. He gets his man. Munro was never picking him and he falls to him. The leg spinner on middle, Munro looks to work it on the leg side, he seems to have picked it but misses the ball. The ball hits the pads, an appeal follows and the umpire raises the finger. Munro reviews and Hawk Eye shows the on-field call is the right one. The game is evenly |
| 14.4 : 14.4: R Khan to A Patel, OUT! Given out caught behind! Axar does not look happy. Have Hyderabad got a bonus wicket? They might have. A lovely delivery, landed around middle, spinning in, Patel goes back to chop it but misses. Now, the ball lobs off the pads and hits Saha on the chest and he then takes it on the rebound. Here is the catch. Replays show that there was no inside edge at all! Axar is distraught. Sadly for him, Munro took the review away with him... |
| 15.5 : 15.5: M Nabi to R Pant, SIX! CRACK! Short and around middle, Pant pulls it behind square leg. Rashid Khan runs to his left from mid-wicket but cannot get there! The umpires check upstairs to see whether the ball has bounced and replays confirm that it has gone over. |
| 16.5: B Kumar to S Rutherford, SIX! That is huge! Pace and full and that has been deposited into the stands. Full and on off, Rutherford powers it over the long off fence. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: B Thampi to R Pant, FOUR! 'Catch' is the call but no one could have caught that. Full and outside off, Pant hammers this straight back. Thampi just about saves his head from that missile coming straight back at his head. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: B Thampi to R Pant, SIX! CRASH! A length ball, around middle and leg, Pant swings this into oblivion over mid-wicket! 24 needed from 16 now... |
| 17.3 : 17.3: B Thampi to R Pant, FOUR! 14 from the first 3 balls and this probably has taken Hyderabad out of the tournament. Around middle and leg, Pant whips it behind square leg and the ball races away! |
| 17.4 : 17.4: B Thampi to R Pant, SIX! This is poor bowling. Slower ball, but on a length. Pant just smokes it over wide long on! 14 needed from 14 balls now. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: B Kumar to S Rutherford, OUT! That is up in the air... taken! Is it a little too late though? Kumar bowls the slower one outside off, Rutherford does not pick it. He is way too early in the shot and only manages to hit it into the sky towards long off. Nabi there settles under it and takes it nicely. Not sure though if this shot was needed. 12 now in 11 balls needed. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: B Kumar to R Pant, SIX! When Pant is there, Delhi need not fear. Two blows was what Delhi needed to end this game, they have got one. Length and on off, Pant lofts it with ease over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: B Kumar to R Pant, OUT! Pant is out of here! Are Hyderabad still in this? Once again Rishabh is seen throwing it away. Ponting in the dug out is not a happy man. Another slower one which does the trick. It is on a length and around off, Pant looks to finish it off in style but only hits it high up in the air towards long off. Nabi once again takes a very good, under pressure catch. 5 needed in 7, into the bowlers are Hyderabad. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: K Ahmed to A Mishra, OUT! Mishra has come in the way of the throw and he has been given his marching orders! That is the correct decision and now Delhi need 2 in 2 with Keemo Paul on strike. Drama here. Khaleel bowls a full ball and it is outside off. Mishra swings but misses. They go for a bye. Saha misses the throw at his end. Ahmed collects it and throws it at his end but it hits Mishra. They appeal for obstruction of field and Williamson is also going for the review. First it is time f |
| 19.5 : 19.5: K Ahmed to K Paul, FOUR! Delhi enter Qualifier 2! Keemo Paul has hit that to the boundary. A short ball and on middle, it is slower in pace. Paul picks it and powers it through square leg. The fielder in the deep runs to his right and tries to stop it but fails to do so. The Delhi players rush onto the field. They are elated as THEY WIN BY 2 WICKETS! |
