| 2.1 : 2.1: Washington Sundar to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! GLORIOUS! Full and just outside off, Uthappa makes room and creams the drive through the cover region. First boundary of the game. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Washington Sundar to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! Two-in-two! Short and on middle, Uthappa moves a touch on the off side and powers it through short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Washington Sundar to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! Third boundary of the over! Uthappa has found his feet it seems, at the top order. Sundar is struggling here. Drags one short and on middle, Uthappa sits down and slog sweeps it over square leg for a boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Washington Sundar to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! Boom! 4th boundary in the over! Uthappa has surely found his mojo. Floated outside off, Uthappa moves to the off side and slog sweeps it again. Clears square leg again and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Isuru Udana to Ben Stokes, EDGY FOUR! Fifth in last 7 balls. A length ball outside off, Stokes advances and looks to slam it over the bowler's head but gets a thick outside edge. It races away to the third man fence. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Isuru Udana to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! Vintage Uthappa! Stands and powers it over mid on. A length ball just outside off, Uthappa thumps it over mid on and finds the fence. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Isuru Udana to Robin Uthappa, SIX! This one goes all the way! What a way to end the over. A length ball, it is right in the hitting arc of Uthappa. He tonks it over mid on and clears the fence easily. 17 runs off Udana's first over, changes are not doing the trick for Kohli so far. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Navdeep Saini to Ben Stokes, FOUR! Slammed! Stokes want to say that even I am playing this game. A shortish ball around off, Stokes goes back and pumps it over mid-wicket and it races away to the fence. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Chris Morris to Ben Stokes, OUT! CAUGHT! Morris strikes! A soft dismissal. Morris charges in and bangs a short ball down the leg side. Stokes goes for the pull really hard. He went through the shot really early and ended up getting hit on the gloves. The ball went behind and an easy catch for de Villiers behind the wickets. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: Navdeep Saini to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! BAM! Uthappa telling everyone what he can do if he opens the batting. A length ball outside off, Robin jumps out of his crease and flays it through cover-point. No chance for anyone to make a move to stop the ball. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Navdeep Saini to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! BANG GOES UTHAPPA! Two-in-two! Short ball outside off, Uthappa slams it to the longest part of the ground, deep mid-wicket, for a boundary. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Yuzvendra Chahal to Sanju Samson, SIX! What a way to welcome the leggie! This is huge from Samson! Chahal tosses the first ball on middle, right in the slot for Samson. He gets down and powers it way over long on for a massive six. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Yuzvendra Chahal to Robin Uthappa, OUT! CAUGHT! Chahal has the last laugh. You got to give it to the fact that he is not afraid of tossing the ball. He did that on the very first ball of his spell and got smashed but he continued doing that and has got the success. Floats this one on middle, Uthappa looks to slog it away over the deep mid-wicket fence but fails to get hold of it. It goes as far as Finch at deep mid-wicket and he makes no mistake. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to Sanju Samson, OUT! TAKEN! Two-in-two for Chahal! This is terrific from the spinner. Chahal once again gives the ball a lot of air and bowls it wide outside off, Samson goes for the lofted shot over long off but like Uthappa he too fails to get the timing. It goes high in the air off the lower part of the bat towards long off. Morris there, settles under it and gobbles it easily. A pretty poor shot from Samson, against a quality spinner. Chahal on a hat-trick. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Shahbaz Ahmed to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Just a push and a boundary results! Floated outside off, Buttler leans in and just drives it gently through the covers. It is to the right of sweeper cover, Finch runs in but fails to stop it. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Shahbaz Ahmed to Jos Buttler, SIX! Gets hold of it and deposits it for a maximum. Full and around off, Buttler chips down and powers it over long off for a maximum. |
| 14.3: Isuru Udana to Steven Smith, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Smith gets the chance to flex his arms. He does so and slams it over backward point. No one is in the deep, so it rolls away to the fence. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Isuru Udana to Steven Smith, FOUR! Poor, poor bowling. That will surely not please Kohli. Short, wide and way outside off again, Smith ramps it over short third man this time and finds the fence. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Chris Morris to Steven Smith, SIX!! Welcome back into the attack, Mr. Morris, says Smith. What a shot! A good length ball right in the slot of Smith. He slams it way over wide long on for a huge six. It looked to be six the moment it left the bat. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Chris Morris to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Morris strikes again! Huge wicket for Bangalore. Buttler hasn't got going and Bangalore would be happy seeing him walk back. A good length ball outside off, Buttler sees room and looks to slam it over extra cover but ends up slicing it high in the air towards mid off. Saini settles under it and takes it easily. The change from Kohli works as he got Morris back in the attack to break the stand and the Protea has delivered for him. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Chris Morris to Steven Smith, FOUR! Nothing much Morris could do about that. Length ball outside off, Smith hangs his bat outside the line, gets a thick outside edge. It flies to the third man fence for a boundary. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Yuzvendra Chahal to Steven Smith, FOUR! Steven Smith at his very best. Full ball around off, Smith reverse sweeps it aerially over backward point for a boundary. 1,000 runs as skipper of Rajasthan for him, in the League. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Yuzvendra Chahal to Steven Smith, NO BALL AND FOUR! Chahal oversteps here. Bowls a full one around off, Smith hits it aerially over the bowler's head towards long on for a boundary. He gets to his half ton with that as well. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Steven Smith, Four! Innovative way to get a boundary. The batsman spots the leg spin and reverse sweeps it through covers. |
| 17.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Steven Smith, NO BALL AND FOUR! Oh dear, Chahal, what are you doing here? Second time he has overstepped in this over. Fullish ball, spinning away from Smith, outside off. Smith gets into position for another reverse sweep and hits it in front of square on the off side and gets a boundary. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Isuru Udana to Rahul Tewatia, SIX! Nicely done! Tewatia gets into the action. A full toss outside off, Tewatia uses his wrists and just flicks it way over the deep square leg fence for a biggie. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Isuru Udana to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Top way to end the over! 15 off it. A full toss outside off, Tewatia shuffules to the off side and paddles it past the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. Not a good outing in this game for the Sri Lankan. 43 in his 3 overs. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Chris Morris to Steven Smith, OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliant take from Ahmed. Stunning catch and that is the end of Smith's fine knock. Morris bowls it short and wide outside off, Smith reaches out and slices it high in the air towards deep point. Ahmed there, runs to his right, judges it to perfection and takes it superbly, just near the ropes. The umpires want to confirm if it is a clean catch. Replays confirm it is. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Chris Morris to Jofra Archer, OUT! LBW! THREE REDS! Excellent way to end the innings. Just 4 off the last over. A yorker on middle, Archer looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pad, right in front of the stumps. The ball rolls towards the leg side and they go for a run. However, as Morris appeals, the finger is raised. Archer reviews it. Replays roll in and it confirms that the on-field call is the correct one. Morris ends with a 4-fer. Rajasthan end with 177/6. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Jofra Archer to Aaron Finch, SIX! NAILED! Finch has smoked it! He has picked the bones out of this one! A good length ball just around off, he picks the ball and launches it way over wide long on for a massive six, towards the longest part of the ground. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Jofra Archer to Aaron Finch, SIX! BOOM! No, it is Finch who finishes off in style! Good contest between Archer and Finch but you will have to say with these two biggies, it is Finch who takes the honours. Gets under the full ball outside off and lifts it over long off for a biggie. 13 off the 3rd over. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Shreyas Gopal to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! Gopal strikes! Finch is out of here! It is that tossed up ball that gets Rajasthan the breakthrough. Gopal tosses it full and wide outside off, Finch looks to power it over long off but ends up getting a top edge. It balloons high in the air towards mid off. Uthappa there settles under it and takes it easily. Finch fails to convert his great start into the big innings. |
| 4.3: Kartik Tyagi to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Down the leg side and Tyagi gets the treatment it deserved. Short and down the leg side, Padikkal swivels and pulls it past the keeper and into the fine leg fence. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Kartik Tyagi to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Nicely done! This is top class from the young Padikkal. Good length ball outside off, he waits for the ball to come to him and then just taps it past the diving short third man fielder. He fails to stop and it races away to the fence. |
| 5.4: Jaydev Unadkat to Virat Kohli, FOUR! He finds the fence this time. Brilliant shot from Kohli. Jumps out of his crease, meets the ball on the full and uses his powerful wrists to flick it to the deep mid-wicket fence. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Shreyas Gopal to Virat Kohli, SIX! Sent into the crowd, if there were one, at this time. Shorter ball on the stumps, Kohli goes back and pulls this over deep mid-wicket for a soaring biggie. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Rahul Tewatia to Virat Kohli, SIX! Change of gears for the skipper, Kohli? You bet. Full and around off and middle, Kohli lofts it mightily over long on for a huge biggie. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Rahul Tewatia to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! CAUGHT! Tewatia lets out a loud shout, he finally gets one. Padikkal's innings comes to an end. Flat ball around off, Padikkal looked to slam that over the leg side. However, he ends up getting a top edge. It goes sky-high but straight down the throat of Ben Stokes at long on. A simple catch and he takes it with ease. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Kartik Tyagi to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! Yes, it is a clean catch! And more importantly, it is a stunning take from Tewatia. We have seen catchs like these so many times. Kohli had picked the bones out of that flick. His powerfull wrists came into play as he whipped it off his pads powerfully. The ball was travelling but Tewatia was there at deep mid-wicket. He took the catch by moving to his right but the momentum was against him. So, he manages to lob the ball in the air before going to |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Jofra Archer to AB de Villiers, SIX! THUMP! Much-needed biggie! Short and outside off, de Villiers moves inside and powers it way over deep mid-wicket for a bigige. |

| 18.1 : 18.1: Jaydev Unadkat to AB de Villiers, SIX! ABD starts with a bang! A mssive six to begin the over! A length ball in the slot of de Villiers. It is the slower one. De Villiers powers it way over the deep mid-wicket for a massive six. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Jaydev Unadkat to AB de Villiers, SIX! Two-in-two! And this one is even bigger. You just can't be bowling in the slot of de Villiers. Unadkat does that and gets slammed way over long on. Huge six. Unadkat under massive pressure. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Jaydev Unadkat to AB de Villiers, SIX! Three in a row! This is terrific stuff! Short and on middle, not pacy at all. De Villiers swivels and powers it over deep square leg for a biggie. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Jaydev Unadkat to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, FOUR! Gurkeerat joins the act now and Unadkat is getting a beating. Not sure if Unadkat was the perfect choice to bowl the penultimate over. Short and wide outside off, Gurkeerat slams it over cover-point and finds the fence. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Jofra Archer to AB de Villiers, SIX! WOW! Game, set and match for AB de Villiers and Bangalore! What a shot to end the game! Archer goes for the yorker on the toes, de Villiers is deep inside his crease. He manages to get under the ball and whips it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. BANGALORE WIN BY 7 WICKETS! |
