| 1.2 : 1.2: O Thomas to K Williamson, FOUR! Misfield this time. It's all happening very early in the game. Rajasthan will have to pull up their socks in the field. Poor delivery to start with. It's short and wide outside off, Williamson slaps it through backward point and Aaron coming across to his right from third man makes a complete mess. A boundary results and Oshane screams in disappointment. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: V Aaron to K Williamson, FOUR! Brilliant from Williamson. There is a little bit of width outside off, Kane just leans into his shot and crunches it through the gap at backward point. Such a delight to watch, Williamson. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: S Gopal to K Williamson, OUT! Timber! Gopal hunts down Williamson. He continues to pick prized scalps and Kane is the latest entrant. A well-disguised googly from him. It lands around off and spins back in sharply. Williamson tries to flick by going back (should have been forward) but misses. It brushes his pads and then goes on to disturb the stumps. Shreyas is up and running in celebration. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: S Gopal to M Pandey, FOUR! Pandey gets off the mark with a superb shot. He showed good form in the last match and is continuing again. Loopy and full outside off, Manish takes a stride forward and lofts it over mid off for a boundary. 5 runs and a wicket from Gopal's first over. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: J Unadkat to M Pandey, FOUR! Manish is in the mood! Back of a length ball on middle and off, angling away, Pandey stands back, uses his strong bottom hand to pick it up over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: O Thomas to M Pandey, FOUR! Width on offer outside off and punished. Pandey goes back inside the crease and slaps it in front of square on the off side for a cracking boundary. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: S Gopal to M Pandey, FOUR! Finds the gap this time. A batsman of his class won't miss out often. Gopal once again is on the shorter side around off, Pandey uses the depth of his crease well and cuts it through the gap between point and short third man for a boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: S Gopal to M Pandey, FOUR! Two in two! Gopal is not learning. Drops another short delivery, on middle and it stays a bit low too, Pandey adjusts well, turns inside the crease and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 8.4: R Parag to M Pandey, FOUR! Goes downtown and finds the fence! Tossed up ball landing full around off, Pandey lines up behind the delivery and powers it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: R Parag to M Pandey, FOUR! Parag feels the pressure and serves it short on middle. Manish Pandey is ready for it inside the crease and pulls it across the line through mid-wicket for a boundary. 50-run stand comes up! |
| 11.2 : 11.2: S Binny to M Pandey, FOUR! First boundary after the 9th over. Too full in length on off, Pandey drills it straight down the ground and both long on and long off have no chance. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: O Thomas to D Warner, OUT! Superman Smith has taken a stunner to dismiss his countryman! What an outstanding catch. Captain leading from the front. Thomas starts his new spell with a shorter delivery in the line of the stumps, Warner hops back to play a big shot but mistimes his shot in the air towards extra cover. Steven Smith immediately rushes across to his right from mid off and dives full length to take a one-handed ripper. Efforts like these just lift the confidence of the entire tea |
| 14.5 : 14.5: S Gopal to M Pandey, FOUR! This is a really nice shot! Manish Pandey gives himself the room by moving back to a full ball in the line of the stumps and then pumps it over extra cover for a boundary. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: S Gopal to M Pandey, OUT! Brilliance from Sanju Samson! The crowd erupts, this is a timely breakthrough for Rajasthan as they have removed the danger man. A googly from Gopal. It lands around off and turns back in. Pandey moves back to play at it late but seems to have missed the ball. He loses his balance a bit after that and Samson is quick to dislodge the bails. He appeals and the square leg umpire goes upstairs as Manish is down. The replays roll in and they find that for a moment, Man |
| 15.5 : 15.5: V Aaron to V Shankar, OUT! Another one bites the dust and Hyderabad are losing the plot here. Aaron runs his fingers over the seam of the ball and lets out a slower short ball around off, Shankar stays back to pull it across the line but fails to time it well. He ends up miscuing it in the air and Unadkat charges forward from deep mid-wicket to grab a tumbling catch. A good passage of play for the pink team. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: J Unadkat to D Hooda, OUT! Hooda is caught and bowled superbly! Unadkat switches to 'round the wicket for the right-hander and strikes. He delivers a full ball around off, Hooda attempts for the flick shot but it stops onto him and he fails to close the face of his bat. The ball loops back to the bowler off the face of the blade and Unadkat times his jump to perfection to pluck it with his left hand. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: O Thomas to W Saha, OUT! Saha is dismissed this time. Thomas fires in a short ball on middle at 144 kph, Saha winds up for a big pull shot across the line on the leg side but it takes the outside edge and Samson makes no mistake behind the stumps. That was too quick for Saha. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: J Unadkat to Al Hasan, OUT! Unadkat strikes again. His slower delivery has consumed Shakib. The length is a bit on the shorter side around off, the Bangla star tries to pump it over wide long on but fails to connect well. Gopal moves across to his left from long on and makes no mistake this time. He throws the ball out in anguish after that. With this wicket, the chances of Hyderabad going past 150 look dicey. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: V Aaron to B Kumar, OUT! Unadkat with yet another catch in the field, his third to be precise. A slower length ball sliding down the leg side, Kumar tries to flick it off his pads but is early into his shot. It takes the top edge and flies behind square leg. Samson and Unadkat go for it, the latter from short fine leg calls for it and then takes the catch with a tumble. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: V Aaron to R Khan, FOUR! Full in length around off, Khan goes deep inside the crease and drills it through square leg for a powerful boundary. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: V Aaron to R Khan, SIX! Rashid Khan finishes the innings with a biggie, first of the match! Aaron dishes out a slower one, it's on the shorter side outside off, Rashid picks it early and smashes it over mid off. It falls flush on the rope and the onfield umpire signals for it after consulting the third umpire. Hyderabad end on 160/8! |
| 0.3 : 0.3: B Kumar to A Rahane, FOUR! Class! Good length ball outside off, Rahane brings out the classical cover drive in T20s and gets a boundary for it. |
| 2.3: B Kumar to A Rahane, FOUR! Smart approach from Rahane and smart batting this. Defends the first two balls and goes after the third one. Full on middle, Rahane lofts it over mid-wicket and gets a boundary. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: B Kumar to A Rahane, FOUR! Excellent batting. Rahane uses the full pace of the ball. He moves away from the leg stump and Bhuvneshwar follows him. It is full on the pads, Rahane lofts it over square leg for a boundary. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: R Khan to A Rahane, SIX! Rahane is looking in killer form yet again! Floated full ball around off, Ajinkya goes down on one knee and smokes it over mid-wicket for a maximum. Clean strike. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: R Khan to L Livingstone, SIX! This biggie has got immense power! A flighted ball on middle, Livingstone kneels down and launches it over mid-wicket for a biggie. Expensive start from Rashid. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: K Ahmed to A Rahane, FOUR! Edgy but Rahane and Rajasthan will take it. Not the kind of end Khaleel wanted in his first over. Full length ball outside off, Rahane looks to hit it towards long off but gets an outside edge which flies over short third man and crosses the rope on a bounce for a boundary. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: S Kaul to L Livingstone, FOUR! In the slot for Livingstone. Back of a length ball on off, Livingstone takes full toll of it and pulls it away for a boundary through mid-wicket. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: S Kaul to L Livingstone, SIX! This was six the moment it left the bat. Knuckle ball, which is back of a length, Livingstone waits for it and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence and into the crowd for a maximum. And with that 50 comes up for Rajasthan. Just the start they wanted and the home crowd are enjoying this. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: S Kaul to L Livingstone, FOUR! Livingstone is going after Kaul. Good length ball on middle, Liam flat-bats it over mid on for a boundary. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: S Kaul to L Livingstone, SIX! This is brilliant from Livingstone. He has dispatched this bouncer. It is a tennis shot that he has played. Back of a length ball and Livingstone smacks it over the bowler's head for another six. 20 off the first over. Not the sort of comeback he would have wanted. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: R Khan to L Livingstone, FOUR! Liam packs a punch! Short in length on middle, Livingstone goes deep inside the crease and pulls it over mid-wicket. It comes from the higher half of his bat but still has enough power to find the fence. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Al Hasan to L Livingstone, FOUR! Brute power here from Livingstone. Floated delivery on middle and leg, Livingstone comes down the track and smacks it wide of long on for a boundary. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: R Khan to L Livingstone, OUT! Rashid strikes and a brisk innings from the Englishman comes to an end. Just the wicket Hyderabad needed. A quicker leg spinner pitching on off, Livingstone looks to flick it but gets an inside edge. Wriddhiman Saha behind the stumps takes the catch. He along with Rashid go up in appeal and Livingstone misses out on his half century. |
| 10.1: S Kaul to S Samson, SIX! This is a brilliant strike from Samson. Not easy to play a shot like this. A length ball on off, Sanju takes a stride forward and lofts it over extra cover. Packs his shot with supreme timing and it has gone the distance. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Al Hasan to A Rahane, OUT! Rahane holes out! He misses out on his half century as well. Flighted delivery outside off, Rahane looks to play inside out over long off. Shakib sees him move away from his leg stump and bowls it wide. Rahane does not get the timing on the shot. The ball goes to David Warner in the deep. Who takes a good low catch. Hyderabad creeping back into this game now. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Al Hasan to S Smith, FOUR! Stylish from Smith. Flighted on off, Smith comes down the track and flicks it over the mid-wicket region and the ball goes to the fence. 100 comes up for Rajasthan with that stylish boundary from their skipper. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: S Kaul to S Samson, FOUR! Kaul once again begins his over by conceding a boundary. Offers plenty of width outside off, Samson reaches out for it and smashes it through point. Shankar tries his best in the deep with a dive but fails to pull it back. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: S Kaul to S Samson, FOUR! Two in two! This time Kaul serves a short ball around off, Samson pulls it off his front foot, a great pick up shot with superb timing and it screams away to the fence at deep mid-wicket, beating the dive from Rashid Khan. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: K Ahmed to S Smith, FOUR! Poor delivery from Khaleel. It is down the leg side, these are easy pickings for Smith. He just helps it on his way towards fine leg for a boundary. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: K Ahmed to S Samson, FOUR! That's a rocket! Short in length around off, Samson stands back and pulls it with terrific timing over mid-wicket. Remarkable shot, says Sunil Gavaskar on air. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: K Ahmed to S Smith, FOUR! A length delivery on middle, Smith shuffles across and deflects it fine down the leg side. Kaul makes a sliding stop near the fence and they take two. The umpire then goes upstairs to check and the replays find that Kaul made contact with the rope while getting rid of the ball. 50-run stand comes up! |
| 16.6 : 16.6: K Ahmed to S Smith, OUT! Smith departs and the crowd goes silent! Khaleel digs in a short ball on middle and off, Smith shuffles across the stumps to pull it across the line but it takes the top edge and flies down to fine leg. Kaul moves across to his left from fine leg and just about manages to hang on to the catch. Steven Smith is disappointed with himself as he returns to the dugout. 14 needed off 20 balls. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Al Hasan to S Samson, FOUR! Rajasthan win by 7 wickets and stay alive in the tournament! Shakib gets to bowl the final over and he delivers a short ball first up. Samson goes back and pulls it powerfully down to wide long on for the winning runs. |
