| 0.2 : 0.2: B Kumar to R Sharma, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Not the right start for Thampi, he has let that through. Gives away three bonus runs. This is on a length and around off, Rohit throws his bat at it. The ball goes off the outside edge and down towards third man. He fails to stop it and the ball crosses the ropes. Off the mark with a boundary are Mumbai. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: B Kumar to R Sharma, FOUR! A boundary to end the first over, an excellent one for Mumbai. Exquisite this from Rohit. There is a little width on offer outside off, Sharma just leans into it and creams it through covers for a boundary. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: K Ahmed to R Sharma, FOUR! CARESSED! You just need not run for those. Rohit has started brilliantly. This time there is a little width on offer. Sharma leans into it and strokes it through covers. Third boundary for Rohit already. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: K Ahmed to R Sharma, FOUR! Dealing in boundaries is Rohit! Poor ball though to be honest. Short and outside off, can't offer width to this guy. He plays it late and through point for another boundary. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: K Ahmed to R Sharma, FOUR! The right leg was indeed touching the ropes! Another boundary for Rohit Sharma. He has scored all his runs in boundaries. This is through the on side. It is short and on middle, Rohit goes for the pull but does not time it nicely. Still gets it wide of mid on. Nabi there gives it a chase and slides and pushes it back in. The umpires go upstairs to check but replays show he had contact with the ropes while pushing the ball back in. The second over is also expensive |
| 3.2 : 3.2: B Kumar to de Kock, FOUR! Wrong line and punished. Full and down the leg side, de Kock turns and gets it past short fine leg, to his right. First boundary for QdK as he gets going. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: B Kumar to de Kock, FOUR! THWACK! Another poor piece of bowling. De Kock feasts on short stuff and here, he has given an invitation to a wedding. Angling in from around the wicket, de Kock swivels and pulls it behind square leg. Consecutive boundaries. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: K Ahmed to R Sharma, OUT! In the air... taken! The bowling change does the trick. A big wicket this as Rohit Sharma was looking in excellent touch. A good short ball this one, Khaleel bends his back on this one and gets it to zip off the surface. Rohit goes for the pull but is in no position to play that shot. He gets a top edge and Nabi at mid on takes a dolly. A much-needed wicket for the visitors. They did not start the Powerplay well but are ending it in a good way. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: K Ahmed to S Yadav, FOUR! Off the mark in style! Poor delivery though. Short and on the body, Yadav helps it on its way to the fine leg fence. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: K Ahmed to S Yadav, FOUR! Crisp! A boundary to end the Powerplay. What a shot! Nothing wrong with this delivery, it is on a length and around off, Yadav stands tall and strokes it past the diving cover fielder. So two boundaries and a wicket from the 6th. Mumbai are 44 for 1 after it. Not sure which side will be happy at the moment. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: M Nabi to S Yadav, FOUR! Finds the gap this time! Yadav too has started off brilliantly! Nabi makes the mistake of bowling this a little too full and on the pads. Yadav flicks it in style and hits it between deep mid-wicket and long on for a boundary. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: B Thampi to de Kock, FOUR! Excellent timing and that has raced away! Shorter in length and outside off, de Kock just guides it past point. Third man is running to his left but he has no chance. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: M Nabi to S Yadav, SIX! All the way! First of the game and it comes off the bat of SKY! Excellent use of the wrists here. This is outside off and it is full. Yadav whips it right off the middle, the risk is minimal as it is with the turn and clears the mid-wicket fence. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: K Ahmed to de Kock, SIX! BOOM! That is right out of the screws! This should probably get de Kock going. This is angled into the pads, de Kock with the angle plays the pick-up shot and sends it into the square leg stands. Also, the 50-run stand is up. The platform is laid, it is now time to launch. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: K Ahmed to S Yadav, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE MAN! SKY can't believe it as he stands his ground but then has to trudge back! He can consider himself a little unlucky here. He has hit that so nicely. Full and outside off, Yadav lofts it right off the middle. He though hits it flat and the man at sweeper cover does not have to move an inch before taking it. Yadav falls after getting off to a start and Khaleel once again proves to be the partnership breaker. His second and Hyderabad once again str |
| 12.4: M Nabi to E Lewis, OUT! TAKEN! The pressure of the dots has brought about Lewis' downfall. Two wickets in quick succession for Hyderabad and they are on top here. Very clever bowling this by Nabi. After bowling the last one quicker, he slows this one up on middle. Lewis goes for the slog sweep but does not time it well. It goes uppishly towards deep mid-wicket. Shankar there takes a good catch running to his left. He takes it with a wobble. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: B Thampi to H Pandya, SIX! WOW! That shot just shows what kind of a form this guy is in. It is not a very bad delivery, on the middle pole. Pandya whips it with ease and clears the mid-wicket fence. What a way to get off the mark. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: B Thampi to de Kock, FOUR! Does not middle it but still gets a boundary! This is short and on the body, de Kock is hurried into the pull shot. He mistimes it but gets it over mid-wicket and away from long on for a boundary. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: B Thampi to H Pandya, FOUR! Stand and deliver! This guy is a boundary-hitting machine! He really bags a punch. This is slightly short and closer to the off pole, there is not a lot of width on offer. Pandya still manages to crack it past mid off and ends the over with a boundary. 16 from this one. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: B Kumar to H Pandya, OUT! GONE! How many times have we seen Hardik Pandya fall in this manner? This is short and just outside off, Pandya should probably be looking to hit it over the off side or maybe ramp it but he looks to drag his pull on the leg side. A top edge is induced and it goes high up in the air towards long off where Nabi runs in and takes it. The dangerous Hardik Pandya does not make a big impact today. This could very well make a difference of at least 10-15 runs to the fin |
| 16.3 : 16.3: B Thampi to de Kock, FOUR! Nicely carved away! 50 up in style for de Kock It has been an uncharacteristic innings by him but the important thing is, he is still out there and still has time to go berserk. This is very full and outside off, de Kock opens the face of the bat and slices it through point for a boundary. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: B Thampi to de Kock, SIX! BOOM! If you bowl there, he would certainly go berserk. A hit-me ball, a full toss and on middle, de Kock deposits it into the mid-wicket stands. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: R Khan to K Pollard, SIX! TONK! Shorter from Rashid and it is a googly. Pollard is ready. Goes back and pulls it over long on! |
| 17.5 : 17.5: R Khan to de Kock, FOUR! Wrong line. Down the leg side, fuller in length, de Kock sweeps it past short fine leg! |
| 19.1 : 19.1: K Ahmed to K Pollard, OUT! In the air and that is a very good catch by Abhishek Sharma. Also, this is an excellent delivery by Khaleel. He gets his third. The slower one and it is around off and shorter in length. Pollard does not pick it. He is way too early in the pull shot. He only manages a top edge which balloons between deep square leg and square leg. Sharma from the former position runs in and takes it with a dive. Another timely wicket for the visitors and this is the ideal start t |
| 19.5 : 19.5: K Ahmed to K Pandya, SIX! Pandya has got enough of it! A much-needed biggie for the hosts. Goes short again does Khaleel. Pandya maybe expecting it, he sits back and then pulls it over mid-wicket and just about carries over the ropes. Can they end with another? |
| 0.1 : 0.1: B Sran to W Saha, FOUR! The best possible start for the visitors to get the chase underway! Full and wide outside off, Saha goes after it, gets it past the point fielder and into the fence. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: L Malinga to M Guptill, FOUR! EDGY! Guptill won't care though. First for him. Short and outside off, Guptill throws his bat at it but the ball goes off the bottom edge and past the first slip fielder. The third man is in the ring so a boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: B Sran to W Saha, FOUR! JUST WIDE! A poor delivery though by Sran with third man up. Short and outside off, Saha cuts it hard but uppishly. It goes past the outstretched hand of Chahar and into the fence. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: B Sran to W Saha, FOUR! Not off the middle but gets the desired result. Length and it is the slower one outside off, Saha drags it past the mid on fielder for a boundary. Second boundary in the over. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: B Sran to M Guptill, SIX! Make that 17 from it! What a beautiful shot. Trademark Guptill this. He takes a few steps down the track and makes it into a half volley. He then extends his arms and lofts it over the long off fence. Hyderabad are off to a flier. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: J Bumrah to W Saha, FOUR! Welcome into the attack Bumrah. It is full and on middle, Saha uses the pace and times it past the diving mid on fielder for a boundary. Runs flowing at the moment for Hyderabad. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: J Bumrah to W Saha, FOUR! Pollard should have done better there, in the end he almost ends up hurting himself. A short ball and on middle, Saha mistimes his pull through mid-wicket. Pollard from mid on hares after it. He looks to stop it with his leg but then ends up kicking it into the ropes. He then falls over the advertising board. He though is fine but did concede a boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: J Bumrah to W Saha, OUT! TAKEN! Bumrah is absolutely pumped up! He has the last laugh and a much-needed wicket for Mumbai. A length ball around off, Saha looks to drive it square on the off side, hits it nicely but does not keep it down. It goes towards Lewis who take a good catch. Saha's cameo comes to an end. 123 needed in 96. 10 runs and a wicket from Bumrah's first over. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: L Malinga to M Pandey, FOUR! Off the mark, gets Pandey, in some style! A short ball, outside off, Manish pulls it past a diving short mid-wicket fielder for a boundary! |
| 4.4 : 4.4: L Malinga to M Pandey, SIX! WHAT A SHOT! Pandey has come out all guns blazing here! Just uses the pace of the bowler. This is short and outside off, Pandey plays the upper cut and hits it over the third man fence. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: L Malinga to M Pandey, FOUR! Poor this, just very poor from Malinga. This is short and down the leg side, easy for Pandey. He pulls it past short fine leg and the ball races away. 15 from the over with a ball to go. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: J Bumrah to M Guptill, OUT! Three reds and Guptill has to take the long walk back! Bumrah has his second and he is on a hat-trick! Hyderabad lose their only review. Top nut! Bumrah goes wide of the crease and angles it into the batsman. It skids through. Guptill tries to defend but ends up playing outside the line. The ball hits the front pad. Bumrah is pleading and the umpire eventually raises the finger. Guptill after a chat goes for the review. Replays roll in and they show that the on-f |
| 6.1: R Chahar to M Pandey, FOUR! Very well played! The leg spinner from Chahar on off, Pandey waits for it and then guides it with the turn past short third man. Once you beat the fielder in the ring, you need not run. |
| 7.1: K Pandya to K Williamson, OUT! No bat and it is only pad! Now we know why de Kock was so adamant to take the review. Three reds there and Williamson is given his marching orders. Krunal Pandya gets the big fish straightaway! Excellent bowling change. Williamson goes for the paddle sweep but it goes off something towards short fine leg. The batters take one. In the meantime the bowler and keeper are pleading. The umpire shakes his head. De Kock wants the review to be taken and Rohit does so. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: R Chahar to M Pandey, FOUR! Nicely done. A short ball, around off, Pandey goes back and works it through square leg. Anukul Roy, the substitute, picks it up late and hence cannot get to the ball, in spite of a dive. The bowler is not impressed. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: K Pandya to M Pandey, FOUR! Two boundaries in the last three balls! Hyderabad getting a move on here. Short and outside off, Pandey goes back and slaps it through covers. Sran in the deep runs to his right and dives but fails to stop it. |
| 13.2: K Pandya to V Shankar, OUT! Taken and Shankar is out of here. Flighted, around middle and off, Vijay looks to go over the leg side but the ball does not quite come onto the bat cleanly. It goes off the inner half of the bat and Kieron Pollard takes it nicely running to his right at long on. Hyderabad losing their way... |
| 14.3 : 14.3: H Pandya to A Sharma, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The ploy to send Abhishek Sharma up the order has failed. Short and outside off, Sharma looks to cut but the ball goes off the bottom edge towards de Kock. It is dipping towards him but he takes it nicely, diving forward. 58 needed in 33. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: L Malinga to M Pandey, FOUR! SMASHED! Ends the over with a much-needed boundary. Gets to his half ton in style. He holds the key for Hyderabad. This is full and on middle, Pandey takes a few steps ahead and the powers it past the bowler and the ball races away to the fence. 9 from this over, it is still below the runs needed per over. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: J Bumrah to M Nabi, FOUR! Scratch what I wrote there, Nabi gets it away for a boundary! Bumrah goes short again but does not get this one to bounce very high. It comes at a comfortable height for the batsman who pulls it through square leg for a boundary. Need more of these. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: L Malinga to M Nabi, FOUR! Fortunate boundary but Hyderabad really don't care! Full and outside off, Nabi swings but only gets an inside edge, past the off pole and down to the fine leg fence. 37 in 16. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: L Malinga to M Nabi, SIX! Misses his yorker by a little and pays the price. Just the finish Hyderabad needed. 12 from this one. This is full and wide outside off, Nabi carves it right off the middle. It seems to have gone all the way. The umpires have taken it upstairs to check whether it has gone all the way and replays show it has. 29 needed in the last two overs. Hyderabad still in it. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: J Bumrah to M Pandey, FOUR! Again, a bowler misses the yorker and the batsman puts it away. A full toss on the pads, Pandey flicks it over square leg. Not sure whether it has gone all the way. The umpires go upstairs again to check and replay shows that it has just bounced before the ropes. 21 needed in 7, can they find another boundary on the last ball? |
| 18.6 : 18.6: J Bumrah to M Pandey, FOUR! Yes, they can! Back-to-back boundaries and Hyderabad need 17 in the last 6 balls. A gift by Bumrah, for the second time in a row, he bowls a full toss. Pandey pulls it with ease over mid-wicket and it goes into the fence. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: H Pandya to M Nabi, SIX! JUST OVER! Nabi gets the much-needed big hit! 9 in 3 now. A high full toss and Nabi lofts it down the ground. Pollard there for a second feels he had a chance. He leaps but the ball goes over him. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: H Pandya to M Nabi, OUT! Gone! Pandya has the last laugh. The words from Sharma has worked wonders. Pandya brings out the slower one and bowls it very wide outside off, so wide that if the batsman had left it, it would have been a wide. Nabi goes after it but does not generate the power needed. He holes out at long off. Yadav there runs to his left and takes it. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: H Pandya to M Pandey, SIX! We have a Super Over! That has gone all the way! What a shot! Manish Pandey you beauty. He steps down the track and Pandya bowls a length ball. Manish pulls it over the mid-wicket fence. THE GAME ENDS IN A TIE! |
