| 1.6 : 1.6: Mohammed Siraj to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Spoils a good over. Siraj pitches it up and around off, Yashasvi Jaiswal stays back and drills his drive through the gap at covers for a boundary - first of the match. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Glenn Maxwell to Yashasvi Jaiswal, SIX! Yashasvi Jaiswal will not hold back. Loopy ball, full and around off, Yashasvi Jaiswal gives it the full whack of his bat and hammers it over wide long on. That has gone deep into the stands. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Glenn Maxwell to Evin Lewis, FOUR! Evin Lewis has slapped that one. Maxwell is a bit on the shorter side with his length, around off, Lewis goes deep inside the crease and punches it past the point fielder for a boundary. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: George Garton to Evin Lewis, SIX! Smoked away! Evin Lewis has murdered this short ball. It's in his half, sitting up nicely for the batter, Lewis rides the bounce and hammer-pulls it over square leg for a gigantic biggie. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: George Garton to Evin Lewis, FOUR! Garton goes short and wide outside off, slower in pace, Lewis flashes his bat at it and gets it away off the outer portion of the bat. It finds the gap between short third man and backward point for a boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: George Garton to Evin Lewis, SIX! Boom! This is turning out to be a huge over for Rajasthan, 18 already from it. Change in pace again from George Garton. Short and slow, wide outside off, Lewis camps back and pulls it thunderously over cow corner for a biggie. The West Indian has a strike rate of 200 at the moment. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Harshal Patel to Evin Lewis, FOUR! Flashes and flashes hard! Evin Lewis is on fire. He attacks the short delivery outside off, throws his bat at it and gets it away off the outside edge again. The ball flies over short third man and finds the fence. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Harshal Patel to Evin Lewis, SIX! Evin Lewis is looking in the mood and these are ominous signs for Bangalore. Patel drops it right in the slot for the batter, slower in pace but Lewis has picked it. He stays back and muscles it over long on. 50 up! |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Dan Christian to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Jaiswal connects beautifully this time. A length ball, around middle and off. Jaiswal makes room for himself and cuts it past point. The ball races away to the boundary. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Dan Christian to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Some brilliant batting by Jaiswal. A full-length ball, on off. Jaiswal moves across and scoops it over short fine leg. The ball races away to the boundary at fine leg. A good over for Rajasthan, 11 coming off it. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Dan Christian to Yashasvi Jaiswal, SIX! Whoa! Jaiswal didn't time that well but still gets the distance on his shot. A length ball, on off, it's a slower one from Dan Christian. Yashasvi Jaiswal smashes it over extra cover for a maximum. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: Dan Christian to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! TAKEN! Dan Christian has the last laugh! He provides Bangalore with the much-needed breakthrough. Yet another slower ball around off, at 123 kph. The idea was correct from Yashasvi Jaiswal to clear the infield but he doesn't execute it well. He lifts it straight towards mid off where Mohammed Siraj completes the catch over his head. A good knock nonetheless from Yashasvi Jaiswal. |
| 9.2: Harshal Patel to Evin Lewis, FOUR! FIFTY FOR LEWIS! His third in the League, first for Rajasthan. Short of a length, on middle. Evin Lewis goes deep in the crease and pulls it with authority towards deep mid-wicket. The ball races away to the boundary. Evin Lewis gets to his fifty in style, off just 31 balls. Can he carry on? |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Harshal Patel to Evin Lewis, FOUR! Two in a row! Short ball on leg, Evin Lewis stands tall and pulls it to fine leg for another boundary. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Sanju Samson, SIX! BANG! Samson gets his first maximum of the innings. A good end to the over for Rajasthan. Tossed up, full and on off. Samson gets under it and muscles it over the wide long off fence for a maximum. This also brings up 100 for Rajasthan. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: George Garton to Evin Lewis, OUT! CAUGHT! George Garton comes back into the attack and gets rid of the set batsman, Evin Lewis. The Englishman picks up his first wicket in the Indian T20 League. He serves a short ball, on off. Lewis swivels and looks to pull it away but gets a top edge. The ball flies towards short fine leg. The keeper, Srikar Bharat, calls for it, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a good catch. We saw a similar catch going down in one of the Chennai games when Dhoni h |
| 11.6 : 11.6: George Garton to Sanju Samson, SIX! KABOOM! Samson looks to be in good touch. Slightly short and on leg. Samson hangs back and pulls it over the square leg fence for a maximum. Garton started strongly, but could not end the over in the same manner. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to Mahipal Lomror, OUT! Stumped! Lomror was itching to dominate the leggie and fell in the process. Chahal probably sensed the charge and smartly hurls across a googly outside off, Mahipal is down the track in a flash, aiming to heave it over the leg side but it spins away to beat his blade. Srikar Bharat is very swift to take the bails off. A good passage of play for Bangalore. Chahal has certainly found his form in the last couple of games. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Shahbaz Ahmed to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and this is a body blow to Rajasthan. Samson could not bat through the innings this time. Shahbaz Ahmed comes into the attack and strikes with his very first delivery. He serves a flatter delivery at 94.1 kph, fuller in length and outside off. Samson aims for an inside-out shot over extra cover but it takes the bottom part of his bat and flies straight to sweeper cover. Devdutt Padikkal is there in the deep who ta |
| 13.6 : 13.6: Shahbaz Ahmed to Rahul Tewatia, OUT! CAUGHT! Tewatia holes out this time. Shahbaz Ahmed picks up his second wicket in the over. It is all going downhill for Rajasthan at the moment. Ahmed serves a full ball, on middle and leg, Tewatia gets low to slog-sweep but it takes the top edge and flies towards deep backward square leg. Devdutt Padikkal is again in action and takes a sharp low catch on this occasion. Clearly, Rajasthan are on the back foot now. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Yuzvendra Chahal to Liam Livingstone, OUT! Livingstone holes out! Another big blow to Rajasthan, they have lost a big hitter in the form of Liam. A flighted delivery, full and outside off, spinning away, Livingstone goes down on one knee to smoke it over the leg side but ends up hitting it aerially to long on. A simple catch for AB de Villiers in the deep and Rajasthan continue to slip. Yuzvendra Chahal has been a completely different bowler in the UAE. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Harshal Patel to Chris Morris, FOUR! Edgy runs but Rajasthan will take it. Length ball on off, Chris Morris looks to heave it on the leg side. The ball goes off the outside edge over the keeper's head to third man for a boundary. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Mohammed Siraj to Chris Morris, FOUR! A full toss wide outside off at 141 kph, Chris Morris stays back and swings his bat across the line. It takes the inner half and runs behind square leg for a boundary, beating the diving effort of Glenn Maxwell in the deep. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Harshal Patel to Riyan Parag, OUT! TAKEN! Wicket number 24 for Harshal Patel in this season. Fuller in length, on middle. Riyan Parag lifts it off the bottom half of the bat towards extra cover. Gets the height but not the distance. Virat Kohli settles under it, keeps his eyes on the ball and pouches it with ease. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Harshal Patel to Chris Morris, OUT! CAUGHT! WHAT A CATCH! Fuller ball, outside off. Chris Morris slices it hard towards wide of deep cover. The ball was travelling so fast. Devdutt Padikkal runs to his right and dives in the air to take a magnificent catch. He plucks a stunner out of thin air and Harshal Patel is on a hat-trick once again. Can he get another one? |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Harshal Patel to Chetan Sakariya, OUT! Wicket number 3 in the match for Harshal Patel. Bangalore have finished very strongly here. Back of a length, outside off, Chetan Sakariya tries to pull but it takes the toe end of the bat and flies towards long on. Yet again a simple catch for AB de Villiers in the deep. Rajasthan end on 149/9! |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Chris Morris to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Hammered away! No luck on this shot. Sheer class. Back of a length, outside off, Kohli picks the length early and smashes it over mid-wicket for a boundary. The attacking mindset of Kohli is so refreshing so watch. |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Chris Morris to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Streaky! Kohli opens his account with a lucky boundary. This one is served on a length, around middle and straightening a bit off the seam, Kohli tries to flick on the leg side but closes the face early. It flies off the outer edge and goes over the keeper for a boundary. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Chris Morris to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Morris looks for a yorker but it's too full and on the pads, Virat neatly deflects it fine down the leg side for a boundary. Three boundaries from the first over, a great start to the chase for Bangalore. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: Kartik Tyagi to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Bang! Kartik Tyagi pitches it up and outside off, Devdutt Padikkal leans into the drive and caresses it through extra cover for a boundary. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Kartik Tyagi to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Fabulous. Great timing on that shot. Full and outside off, Virat Kohli walks across the stumps a bit and lofts it cleanly over mid off for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Towards the shorter part of the ground. Mustafizur Rahman offers a short ball wide outside off, Devdutt Padikkal doesn't time his pull shot well as he fetches it from outside off but still packs it with enough connection to find the mid-wicket fence. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Mustafizur Rahman to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Rajasthan are leaking too many boundaries at the moment. The Fizz overpitches it around off, Devdutt Padikkal strides forward and drives it stylishly through covers for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Chetan Sakariya to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Finds the fence. Chetan Sakariya hurls it short and close to off, Devdutt Padikkal attacks the room and slaps it through the gap between backward point and short third man. Perfect placement. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! Stumps shattered! Mustafizur Rahman breaks the opening partnership. The last delivery was a quicker one, Devdutt Padikkal probably expected this one to be on the slower side but Mustafizur Rahman has bowled it at 136.6 kph. It's in the line of the stumps, Padikkal is late into the swing of his blade and misses the ball completely. The stumps are rearranged. Can Rajasthan build on this wicket? |
| 6.5 : 6.5: Chris Morris to Virat Kohli, OUT! RUN OUT! Brilliant effort in the field by Riyan Parag. He dropped the catch on the third ball of this over but makes sure he redeems himself. A length ball, outside off. Kohli chases it. The ball takes the outside edge and yet again goes to the left of point. Riyan Parag dives to that side and makes a half-stop. The batters decide to take a single. Parag collects the ball and scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end, where Virat was heading. But Koh |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Rahul Tewatia to Srikar Bharat, FOUR! CRACKED! Googly and on off. Bharat hangs back and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Kartik Tyagi to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Short and punished! Short of a length, on middle. Glenn Maxwell swivels and pulls it towards deep mid-wicket. Yashasvi Jaiswal runs to his left and dives to catch the ball but misses out by inches. The ball races away to the fence. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Rahul Tewatia to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! SLAPPED AWAY! Full and outside off. Maxwell reaches out and slashes it through point. The ball races away to the boundary. A good end to the over for Bangalore. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Mahipal Lomror to Srikar Bharat, FOUR! Down the ground! Bharat gets into the act now. Floated, full and on off. Bharat dances down the track and lifts it over the bowler's head. The ball ends up in the boundary at long off. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Chris Morris to Srikar Bharat, SIX! All the way. Bharat has found his rhythm. Morris serves it full and on off. Bharat goes down and across as he powers it over the backward square leg fence for a biggie. Bangalore are running away here! |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Rahul Tewatia to Srikar Bharat, FOUR! Deft touch! Well played. Floated, full and around off. Bharat gets low and reverse-paddles it past short third man. The ball races away to the boundary. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Chetan Sakariya to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Up and over! Maxwell is continuing his good form this season. Short in length and wide outside off, Maxwell finds it in his range and smashes it over extra cover. The ball ends up crossing the fence. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Srikar Bharat, OUT! CAUGHT! What a time to get the wicket and break this partnership. Mustafizur Rahman serves a short ball, on middle. Srikar Bharat gets into the line of the ball and pulls it but with no conviction as he gets a top edge. The ball goes towards fine leg where the substitute fielder, Anuj Rawat, completes the catch. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Chris Morris to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! BANG! Overpitched ball, outside off. Glenn Maxwell whips it with disdain over deep mid-wicket. The strong bottom hand comes into play and the Aussie gets a biggie. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Chris Morris to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Maxwell wants to finish things in a hurry. Too short, on middle. Glenn Maxwell helps his attempted pull shot behind square leg for a boundary. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Chris Morris to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Edgy! Few words are being exchanged here between Maxwell and Morris. Short and around off, Maxwell opts to pull but top-edges it behind the keeper for a boundary. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: Chris Morris to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Crunched! Fifty for Glenn Maxwell! He has become Mr Consistent for Bangalore. Very full in length and on middle, Maxwell brings his bottom hand into play and bludgeons it down the ground for a cracking boundary. 22 from the over, only one needed more to cross the line. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Riyan Parag to AB de Villiers, FOUR! AB de Villiers finishes things off in style! That will be all. Floated ball, on middle, AB de Villiers gets down on one knee and sweeps it behind square leg for a boundary. Bangalore win by 7 wickets! |
