| 0.4 : 0.4: Mohammed Shami to Shubman Gill, FOUR! This is poor bowling from Mohammed Shami! Good length ball on the pads, Gill lets the ball come onto him and then flicks it past the short fine leg region for a boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Mohammed Shami to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! Finally, he gets off the mark! This is a scintillating shot from Rahul! Shami bowls a short one around middle, it does not bounce as much this time. Tripathi rocks on his back foot and pulls it to deep square leg. It looks as if it has hit the ropes on the full but the replays show that it has gone off a bounce into the fence. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Mohammed Shami to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! TIMBER! 50th wicket in the Indian T20 League for Mohammed Shami! Tripathi looked really uncomfortable at the crease today and he departs now! Excellent bowling from Mohammed Shami and he will be pleased with the sight of the leg stump getting uprooted! Good length ball on off, angling in sharply. Tripathi looks to heave it out of the park but does not move his feet and misses. But, Shami does not as the ball uproots the leg stump. Brilliant from |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Arshdeep Singh to Shubman Gill, OUT! RUN OUT! What is Kolkata doing? There was no run there! And Nitish Rana pays the price. Ideal start from Punjab. They needed this start and they have got a perfect start. Poor mixup from Gill and Rana! Back of a length ball on middle and leg, Gill flicks it to short fine leg. Rana takes off for a single but Gill seems disinterested. Shami collects the ball and then throws it at the wrong end as both the batters are at the keeper's end. Pooran collects it |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Chris Jordan to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Finally, Gill breaks the shackles a little bit! Good length ball on the pads, Gill flicks it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Mohammed Shami to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! Hammered! First boundary for Eoin Morgan! Short ball around middle, Morgan rocks on his back foot and pulls it through the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary. 1000 runs for Morgan in the Indian T20 League. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! Nicely played! Floated on off, Morgan goes on his knees and then reverse sweeps it over the point fielder for a boundary. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Eoin Morgan, SIX! Powered! Morgan is targetting Mujeeb! Floated on middle, Morgan powers it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Ravi Bishnoi to Eoin Morgan, OUT! CAUGHT! Bishnoi gets into the wickets column! A vital partnership is broken for Kolkata and Eoin Morgan who was looking good out in the middle has to go. This is a big wicket. Googly on off, Morgan looks to go big over the on side but he does not time it well. It goes way up in the air towards long on where Maxwell takes a simple catch. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Shubman Gill, FOUR! What timing from Gill! Kolkata need much more of these! Flatter outside off, Gill punches it through extra cover and beats the diving fielder for a boundary. |
| 13.2: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Shubman Gill, EDGY FOUR! Gill and Kolkata won't mind! Flighted ball outside off, Gill looks to heave it away but it goes off the top edge and goes past the short third man fielder for a boundary. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Dinesh Karthik, SIX! Powered! Floated on middle, Karthik thrashes it over the long on fielder for a maximum. 16 from the over. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Ravi Bishnoi to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Fifty for Shubman Gill! Another important one for his side. He is a classy player and he has played another top knock. His job is not done yet and needs to continue and help Kolkata reach a good score! Short ball on middle, Gill pulls it to the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Arshdeep Singh to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Not a great delivery from Arshdeep and it has been punished! Short ball on middle, Karthik pulls it to the deep square leg region for a boundary. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Arshdeep Singh to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Karthik is looking solid out there in the middle! Full ball on off, Karthik lifts it over extra cover for a boundary. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Arshdeep Singh to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! 50-run stand comes up between Karthik and Gill! They need this to continue. Short ball on middle, Karthik pulls it in front of square on the leg side for a boundary. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Chris Jordan to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Up and over! That is a superb shot! He loves playing in that region and he does so very effectively. Fuller and outside off, Karthik lofts it nicely over covers and it races away to the fence. Boundary early in the over, just what Kolkata wanted. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Chris Jordan to Dinesh Karthik, SIX! That is big! 11 from the first three balls and Karthik is in his elements here. It is fuller and on off, Karthik stays deep in his crease and lofts it over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Chris Jordan to Dinesh Karthik, EDGY FOUR! 15 from the over now! All going Kolkata's way! It is full and wide outside off. Karthik swings. It flies off the outside edge and races to the third man fence. Jordan under huge, huge pressure. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Mohammed Shami to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! In the gap! Karthik is one short of a half ton now. Once again it is a boundary early in the over. A full toss. Punjab has all the fielders back on the boundary on the leg side but Karthik whips it right in the gap in front of square and bags a boundary. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Mohammed Shami to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Brings up his fifty in style! The skipper comes to the fore when his team needed it. What an innings this is. He has provided his team the much-needed impetus and has probably played a match-winning knock. He gets there with a lovely shot. It is full and on off, Karthik makes room and slices it through the gap between point and short third man. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Mohammed Shami to Shubman Gill, OUT! Gill is short! He though has done his job. A fine, fine, innings from him comes to an end. He was tired so this wicket could well be a blessing in disguise for Kolkata as it will bring out Russell. Coming to the ball now, it is another slower one on middle, Shubman swings, it goes off the inner half towards deep square leg. They take one and go for the second. Singh in the deep, picks the ball up and fires it to the keeper who whips the bails off. The u |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Arshdeep Singh to Andre Russell, EDGY FOUR! That is full marks to the bowler but runs to the batter! Arshdeep gets it right. Full and outside off. Perfect yorker almost. Russell reaches out for it but gets an outside edge, past the keeper and down to the third man fence. 150 up. 11 more balls to go. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Arshdeep Singh to Andre Russell, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Arshdeep has his man and he is elated. Russell's poor form continues. This is brilliant. It is full and wide outside off. Russell swings again but it takes the outside edge and goes to the keeper who makes no mistake. Huge wicket, this could well make a difference of 10 runs to the final total. |
| 19.2: Chris Jordan to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Well played! This is brilliant cricket from Dinesh Karthik! Back of a length ball outside off, Karthik cuts it over the point fielder for a boundary. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Chris Jordan to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! RUN OUT! Karthik gets run out of the last ball! Short ball on middle, Karthik pulls it to deep mid-wicket and wants the second. The fielder throws it to the keeper who whips the bails off. The third umpire is called for and the replays show that Karthik is well short. KOLKATA FINISH ON 164 FOR 6. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, DROPPED AND FOUR! Also, Russell is down on the ground. This could well be a double blow for Kolkata. Excellent deception from Krishna. He bowls a slower one and it is fuller on off. Rahul is early into the loft. He hits it over mid off. Russell back tracks, gets two hands to it but spills it. It is rolling towards the boundary. Russell dives and tries to push it back in but is touching the ropes while doing so. He though is down on the ground outside the boundar |
| 3.2: Prasidh Krishna to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Just a mere chip and a welcome boundary! Agarwal might have decided to step on the gas now! Fuller and on middle, Agarwal lofts it over mid on and bags a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Prasidh Krishna to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! That is a beauty! Not a lot wrong with that delivery. It is length and on middle, Agarwal strokes it on the up past the mid on fielder and it races away to the fence. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Prasidh Krishna to Mayank Agarwal, Six! Exquisite! That is brilliant from Agarwal! A huge over and a much-needed one. Agarwal makes room and Krishna bowls it full and outside off. It is lofted over covers and it goes all the way. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Pat Cummins to KL Rahul, FOUR! Poor ball and put away! Short and down the leg side. Rahul says thank you very much and pulls it nice and fine for a boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to KL Rahul, FOUR! In the gap! Slightly shorter in length and on middle, Rahul pulls it hard! Finds the gap in the mid-wicket region and bags a boundary. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Sunil Narine to Mayank Agarwal, EDGY FOUR! Everything going Punjab's way! Shortish and outside off, Agarwal looks to loft it over covers but it goes off the outside edge and down to the third man fence. |
| 10.3: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Good-looking shot from Mayank Agarwal! Nagarkoti overpitches it outside off, Agarwal lunges forward and creams the drive through extra cover for a boundary. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Dominant shot from Mayank Agarwal! Back-to-back boundaries! Short ball on middle, Agarwal pulls it to the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Varun Chakravarthy to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! That is beautifully played! Releases the pressure that was building in the over. Full and outside off. Agarwal makes room and lofts it over covers. No chance of stopping that. 8 from the over. 71 needed in 8. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Pat Cummins to KL Rahul, FOUR! Poor from Cummins! He errs in line and bowls it on the pads. It is worked behind square on the leg side for a boundary. Pressure on Cummins. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Pat Cummins to KL Rahul, FOUR! Through the gap! Fuller and on off, Rahul leans into it and strokes it through covers. Russell gives it a chase but fails to get to it. 8 from the first two balls. FIFTY up for KL Rahul! Continues his great form. |
| 14.2: Prasidh Krishna to Mayank Agarwal, OUT! TAKEN! There is the wicket Kolkata wanted! There is glimmer of hope they needed. Can they capitalize on it now? Krishna does the job. It is angled into the pads, Agarwal looks to whip it over the mid-wicket fence but fails to get the power behind it. He holes out to the fielder in the deep. Gill makes no mistake. A brilliant innings from Agarwal comes to an end. He has done his job. 50 needed in 34. |
| 15.2: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to KL Rahul, FOUR! Poor bowling! Short and wide outside off, Rahul stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and cuts it through point. No chance of stopping that. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Stand and deliver stuff! Length and outside off, Pooran stands tall and crunches it through covers for a boundary. So this is probably the over which turns the tide completely in Punjab's favor. 35 needed in 25. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Smashed! Just the 29 needed now! Short and on middle, it sits up to be hit. Pooran pulls it hard and over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Varun Chakravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! In the gap! Probably now where Pooran wanted to hit it but he finds the gap. Fuller and outside off. Pooran swings but miscues it. It goes over cover and trickles over the fence. He wanted it to hit it a lot straighter than he did. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Sunil Narine to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! TIMBER! Pooran is out of here but is it too late! They should have probably given Narine the over they gave to Nagarkoti. It is on middle, Pooran swings but misses. You miss I hit stuff from him. 21 needed in 16. A wicket more and the game might just get interesting. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Prasidh Krishna to Prabhsimran Singh, OUT! TAKEN! Kolkata back in this one! Prabhsimran walks back after an innings which could well cost his team the game. It is shorter and around off. He looks to pull but is done in by the pace. It goes off the splice towards point where Rana runs back and takes a good catch. 16 in 8. Boundary needed. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, OUT! TIMBER! That is a huge, huge wicket. Game now in Kolkata's favor. Rahul can't believe what he has done. Krishna is over the moon. It is a full toss outside off. Rahul looks to heave it on the leg side but gets an inside edge which hits the stumps. What a turnaround. Wow! Just Wow! 14 needed in the last over with two new batters out there. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Sunil Narine to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Important boundary! 8 from 3 balls now! Innovation and it pays off. Maxwell brings out the reverse sweep. Nails it over the cover region and it goes for a boundary. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Sunil Narine to Mandeep Singh, OUT! TAKEN! The bigger side of the ground and Mandeep does not strike it cleanly and hence holes out. 7 needed from the last game. Kolkata can't lose unless an extra is bowled. It is slower through the air again and on middle. Narine gives no pace on the delivery. Singh goes for the slog sweep but only manages to hit it high up in the air. Green, the sub, settles under it and takes it brilliantly. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Sunil Narine to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Just short! Just short. Oh boy! Maxwell wants it to be checked but it is just short. Narine would have had his heart in his mouth for a second. What drama, what an anticlimax! It is a game of millimeters says Ian Bishop and that is oh so right. Coming to the ball now, what did Narine just bowl there. He fires it outside off. He invites Maxwell to hit towards the short side and Glenn does exactly that. He lofts it over covers. It bounces just inside the |
