| 1.3 : 1.3: Mohammed Siraj to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! CAUGHT! Edged and taken safely. Mohammed Siraj fetches the breakthrough for Bangalore. Fullish and outside off, hint of away movement as well. Tripathi looked to steer that towards third man but he ends up getting an outside edge which goes to the right of the keeper. De Villiers moves that side and takes it easily. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Mohammed Siraj to Nitish Rana, OUT! BOWLED! What a start this is for Bangalore. Mohammed Siraj is on a hat-trick now. Full and around off, again, a hint of movement, this time it comes in towards off. Rana looks to play at it but is all over it. Misses and the stumps are shattered. What a start for Kohli's men. This is why Siraj was brought in for this game as well. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Navdeep Saini to Shubman Gill, OUT! TAKEN! What is happening in the Kolkata camp here? Is there a party planned or what? Why are they falling like ninepins here? Length ball outside off, Gill looks to pull but he ends up getting a top edge. It goes high in the air towards short mid-wicket. Kohli had stationed Morris there, one of the safest fielders. Morris gets under the ball and takes it with ease. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Navdeep Saini to Tom Banton, FOUR! Good shot. Full ball around off, Banton drives it beautifully to the right of the bowler, to the long on boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Navdeep Saini to Tom Banton, SIX! Good shot this. Short ball, Banton swivels and pulls. Sends this over the deep square leg fence. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Mohammed Siraj to Tom Banton, OUT! CAUGHT! One more for Bangalore, one more for Mohammed Siraj. He is on fire today. Full and outside off, again, a hint of away movement. Banton looks to drive but ends up inducing an outside edge. It goes just to the right of de Villiers at an easy catchable height. The keeper takes it with ease. |
| 6.3: Isuru Udana to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! SHOT! Full and outside off, Morgan strokes it beautifully through the covers for a boundary. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Navdeep Saini to Eoin Morgan, SIX! Just enough, just enough to clear the short side of the ground. Short ball, Morgan pulls it aerially. It goes just over the jumping fielder at deep square leg for a maximum. Much needed biggie for Kolkata. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Yuzvendra Chahal to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! LBW! Good review this time from Kohli. Karthik's poor run-of-form against legbreak bowlers, especially the wrong' un continues. Floated around middle and leg, this one is the wrong' un. Karthik prods forward and looks to block but misses to get hit on the pads. Chahal appeals for a LBW but the on-field umpire was not interested. He has a long chat with Kohli, the latter taking it right in the nick of time. Three reds on the Ball Tracker and Karthik i |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to Pat Cummins, OUT! The batsman has missed the ball and is hit on the pads. The bowler appeals for LBW and it is given. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Yuzvendra Chahal to Pat Cummins, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust! Cummins' struggle with the willow comes to an end. Chahal gets his second of the game and victim number 15 for the season. Chahal gives this one a good amount of air and bowls it slow on off. Cummins looks to go over long off but does not go for it whole heartedly. He just lifts it in the air and straight to long off. Paddikal there makes no mistake and takes a simple one. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Navdeep Saini to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! The total finally gets to 50 for Kolkata. Morgan is the lone man standing while the others are crumbling. Short ball, Morgan pulls it handsomely to the deep square leg boundary. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Washington Sundar to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! CRACKING! Full and around off, Morgan mows a slog sweep and gets it to the deep mid-wicket boundary. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Washington Sundar to Eoin Morgan, OUT! TAKEN! Massive wicket this for Bangalore. Massive celebration in their dugout. Morgan goes after making 30 runs from 34 balls. Floated around off, he gets down and looks to slog sweep again. Gets it in the air again but this time straight down the throat of Mann at deep square leg. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Yuzvendra Chahal to Lockie Ferguson, EDGED AND FOUR! Floated outside off, Ferguson prods forward and looks to have a poke at it. It comes off the outside edge and goes well past the left of Kohli at slip. It races away to the third man fence. |
| 19.1: Chris Morris to Kuldeep Yadav, FOUR! Stuff we have not seen much today. Fullish ball around off, Kuldeep swings across the line and gets it to the deep mid-wicket fence. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Chris Morris to Lockie Ferguson, OUT! RUN OUT! Kuldeep Yadav is run out and Kolkata fall a run short of what they wanted on the last ball of their innings. Full, around off, Ferguson hits it aerially towards long on. It lands on a bounce to the fielder there. Kolkata look for two, the throw comes in to the bowler's end. Morris collects and whips the bails off. The umpires want to have a look at it. Replays catch Yadav short. Just the single there. KOLKATA HAVE BEEN RESTRICTED TO 84/8. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Pat Cummins to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! In the slot and punished. Full and outside off, Padikkal lofts that over mid off. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Prasidh Krishna to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Delightful! Full and outside off, Padikkal once again lifts it over mid off. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Prasidh Krishna to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Full length ball on middle, Finch flicks it well to the right of the man at short fine leg and the ball races away to the boundary. Bangalore are now 28/0 at the end of 4 overs. |
| 4.6: Pat Cummins to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Goes in the gap for four. There were 2 fielders in the deep on the leg side - fine leg and deep square leg. Finch bisects them perfectly. Full on middle and leg, he closes the face of his bat to glance it in the gap between those two fielders for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Varun Chakravarthy to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Beats the fielder and Padikkal gets a boundary. Short and outside off, Padikkal cuts it. Backward point moves to his left and dives to contain it. But the ball goes through him for a boundary. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: Lockie Ferguson to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! And Kolkata finally have a wicket. Finch was coming down earlier, this time stays in his crease but gets a soft outside edge. Good length ball around off, Finch looks to drive but it was a bit too close to do so. Ends up inducing a soft outside edge. It goes to Karthik to the keeper's right. Easy catch though and Karthik is never going to miss those. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Lockie Ferguson to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, OUT! RUN OUT! There is the second wicket. He was looking good at 25 runs off 17 balls. Length ball on the body, Mann taps it towards square leg. Padikkal wants one and rushes in from the other end. Mann says no after taking a couple of steps. Padikkal though does not stop, keeps running. He literally gets to the other end and it is too late for him to turn back. Pat Cummins who collected the ball at square leg runs to the bowler's end and effects the |
| 8.4: Lockie Ferguson to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, FOUR! Brilliantly played. Length ball outside off, 140 kph, Mann drives it on the up, through covers and gets a boundary. 50 up for Bangalore and they are closing in on the target now. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Varun Chakravarthy to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Brilliantly placed there. Short and width on offer outside off, Kohli cuts it finely past point for a boundary. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Varun Chakravarthy to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, FOUR! Mann is getting into the act now. Shortish and outside off, Mann lifts it over covers for a boundary. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Varun Chakravarthy to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, FOUR! Educated edge to say the least. Short and wide outside off, Mann looked to cut that square of the wicket but ends up getting an outside edge. No one at third man and it races away to the fence there. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Varun Chakravarthy to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, FOUR! Mann looking to finish things off quickly here. Flighted ball around off and middle, Mann sweeps it uppishly to the deep backward square leg boundary. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Lockie Ferguson to Virat Kohli, FOUR! All too easy for Bangalore and Kohli here. Fullish ball around off, Kohli swings and sends it to the deep mid-wicket boundary. |
