| 0.5 : 0.5: Deepak Chahar to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Finch gets going with a boundary. First one of the game. A fullish ball outside off, Finch lifts it over mid off. Doesn't get all of it but it is good enough to clear the mid off fielder for a boundary. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Deepak Chahar to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries. Another ball which is pitched up. This one is around middle and leg, Finch flicks it over mid-wicket and finds the fence. Good start for Bangalore. |
| 1.6: Monu Kumar to Aaron Finch, FOUR! The extra delivery is costly. A boundary off it. It is once again on middle and leg, Finch this times walks across a touch and helps it on its way to the fine leg fence. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Deepak Chahar to Devdutt Padikkal, SIX! Take that! Short and wide outside off, Padikkal throws the willow at it and connects. Gets all of it as it sails over the deep point fence for a biggie. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Sam Curran to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! Sam Curran gets the breakthrough for Chennai! Another failure for Aaron Finch. He gets off to starts but throws it away. Short ball around off, Finch dances down the track and then looks to cut it towards the off side but gets a top edge which goes towards cover. Ruturaj Gaikwad moves backwards and takes the catch. It was not easy but he manages to hold onto it. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Mitchell Santner to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Nicely played! Santner bowls a floated ball on middle, Padikkal goes on his knees and then sweeps it to the backward square leg region for a boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Sam Curran to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Enough of singles says Padikkal. Gets a length ball on the pads, he flicks it over square leg to find the fence. Top shot. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: Mitchell Santner to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! CAUGHT! Faf du Plessis with another stunning effort near the ropes. Good work from Gaikwad too. A tossed up ball on middle, Padikkal skips down the track and looks to launch it over long on. He doesn't time it as well as he would've liked but it is wide of the man at long on. However, du Plessis runs to his left really fast, settles under the ball, takes the catch but is pretty close to the ropes. He sees Gaikwad in front of him and then lobs the b |
| 8.2 : 8.2: Mitchell Santner to AB de Villiers, FOUR! Sweet timing! Just a punch and it races away. A bit short and outside off, de Villiers punches it through cover-point. The sweeper cover fielder, Tahir, runs to his right but fails to cut it off. He got in two minds there, whether to dive and stop or he can get to the ball easily. In the end, dives but is late in doing so as the ball goes to the fence. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Imran Tahir to AB de Villiers, FOUR! CRUNCHED! Short and wide outside off, de Villiers thrashes it through backward point. There is a fielder at deep point but this is hit really hard. He hardly got time to move. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Imran Tahir to AB de Villiers, FOUR! Brilliantly played from AB de Villiers! That was all timing from AB de Villiers! Tossed up outside off, de Villiers lunges forward and creams the drive through extra cover for a boundary. |

| 15.6: Monu Kumar to AB de Villiers, FOUR! Poor end to the over from Monu Kumar! Fullish ball on the pads, de Villiers flicks it to the fine leg region for a boundary. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Virat Kohli, SIX! Excellent use of the feet! Brilliant from Kohli and Bangalore are looking to make a move-on. 200th six for Kohli in the Indian T20 League! Loopy ball outside off, Kohli dances down the track and then lifts it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 17.3: Deepak Chahar to AB de Villiers, OUT! CAUGHT! Faf du Plessis takes a simple catch. Slower ball does the trick. De Villiers fails to find the final flourish and he perishes. Good length ball on middle, de Villiers looks to heave it over the long on fielder but the bat turns in his hands. It is not timed so well and Faf du Plessis takes a simple catch. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Sam Curran to Moeen Ali, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one perishes! Bangalore are failing to find the final flourish. Good length ball on off, Ali dances down the track and looks to hammer it over long off but fails to time it as well as he would have liked. Mitchell Santner settles himself under it and takes a simple catch at long off. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Sam Curran to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! What a catch from Faf du Plessis! He has been brilliant in the field again. Curran bowls a full ball on off, Kohli looks to go over long off but does not time it well and it goes wiide of long off. Du Plessis runs across, tumbles and takes a very good catch. Can Bangalore reach 150? |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Deepak Chahar to Chris Morris, OUT! TIMBER! Brilliant yorker from Deepak Chahar! Chennai have done really well in the last few overs. Chahar digs a yorker on middle, Morris misses his swing and the ball goes onto hit the stumps. Terrific stuff from Deepak Chahar. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Deepak Chahar to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Valuable runs! Good length ball outside off, Sundar stands deep in his crease and then punches it over extra cover for a boundary. |

| 1.6 : 1.6: Chris Morris to Faf du Plessis, SIX! What a shot from du Plessis! Full on middle, du Plessis hammers it over long on for a biggie. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Washington Sundar to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX! SHOT! Wow, what a shot! Floated full and just outside off, Gaikwad jumps out of his crease and extends his arms, meets the ball on the full and it just kept going. It just sails over the long off fence. |
| 3.2: Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Bang! Short and just outside off, Gaikwad gives the charge, gets on top of the ball and smokes it over point for a boundary. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Mohammed Siraj to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Innovative from du Plessis. Short and on middle, du Plessis moves towards the off side and scoops the ball to the fine leg fence. Good stroke provided the fine leg fielder was inside the ring. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Mohammed Siraj to Faf du Plessis, SIX! This time it sails over. Short and around middle, du Plessis shuffles across and scoops it over short fine leg and it sails over the fence. Outrageous! |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Chris Morris to Faf du Plessis, OUT! CAUGHT! Morris returns into the attack and gets his first wicket. Is that the breakthrough that Bangalore were looking for? Good length ball outside off, du Plessis looks to go over deep cover but it takes the bottom part of the bat and balloons towards extra cover. Siraj runs back and makes a tough catch look easy. 100 needed from 89 balls. |

| 8.1 : 8.1: Moeen Ali to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX! Lovely shot from Gaikwad! He is growing in confidence! Flighted ball on off, Gaikwad dances down and lifts it over the long off region for a maximum. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Moeen Ali to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! Nothing going Bangalore's way! Floated on off, Rayudu looks to defend but it takes the outside edge and it races to the third man region for a boundary. |

| 13.3 : 13.3: Yuzvendra Chahal to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! TIMBER! Once again we see a wicket fall after the break. Is there still a chance for Bangalore?
