| 0.4 : 0.4: Glenn Maxwell to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Width on offer, and Shikhar Dhawan is quick to pounce on it! Maxwell serves a full ball, outside off. Dhawan carves it past the mid off fielder for a boundary. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: Mohammed Siraj to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! GLORIOUS! Good-length ball, outside off. Prithvi Shaw frees his arms and drives it on the up past covers for a boundary. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Mohammed Siraj to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! What a shot! Length ball, on the pads. Shikhar Dhawan whips it off his pads, past the deep square leg fielder for a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Glenn Maxwell to Shikhar Dhawan, SIX! BANG! Maxwell strays on the pads. Dhawan gets down on his knee and sweeps it over the deep square leg region for a biggie! |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Glenn Maxwell to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Top shot! Flatter and quicker, around off. Prithvi Shaw skips down and drives it past the diving extra cover fielder. AB de Villiers at mid off gives it a chase but the ball wins. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: George Garton to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! 50 up for Delhi! Shaw is playing some very good looking strokes. Pitched up, outside off, Prithvi Shaw drives this one crisply in between extra cover and mid off. Glenn Maxwell gives this a chase but the ball wins the race to the ropes. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: George Garton to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Poor fielding from Harshal Patel! This should have been stopped. On a fuller length, on middle and leg, this is flicked nicely by Dhawan towards the short fine leg region. Patel runs to his left, dives, but the ball goes underneath him to the ropes. Delhi are 55/0 at the end of the Powerplay! |
| 7.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! That is such a good shot from Shaw. Delhi are going along nicely here. Floated, fuller, outside off, Prithvi Shaw gets low and tonks this one over covers for a one-bounce boundary. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Harshal Patel to Shikhar Dhawan, SIX! Dhawan is hitting them very well. The boundaries are flowing very nicely. Slightly fuller, around off, Shikhar Dhawan moves to the off side slightly and whips this one towards deep square leg. Shahbaz Ahmed tries to scalp this out of the air but it goes over him. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Yuzvendra Chahal to Prithvi Shaw, SIX! BANG! What a shot from Shaw. Great use of the feet too! Tossed up, fuller around off, Prithvi Shaw dances down the track and cracks this one over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Harshal Patel to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! TAKEN! It is that man again, Harshal Patel who strikes for Bangalore when his team needs a breakthrough! He gets his 30th wicket of this season too. Delhi lose their first wicket! Patel serves a slower ball, on a length, around off. Dhawan skips down and looks to go over mid off but it goes off the toe end of the bat and it skies towards Dan Christian at mid off. He settles under it and takes a good catch |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Harshal Patel to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! What a way to get off the mark! Slower ball, on a length, outside off. Rishabh Pant drives it past the mid off fielder for a boundary. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Yuzvendra Chahal to Prithvi Shaw, SIX! BANG! Shaw breaks the shackles! Tossed up, on off, in the slot. Shaw gets down on his knee and slog-sweeps it way over deep mid-wicket for a maximum! |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Yuzvendra Chahal to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! TAKEN! Yuzvendra Chahal has the last laugh as he gets his man! He tosses it up nicely, around off. Shaw reaches out and looks to go over extra cover. The ball goes off the outer half of the bat and it loops up in the air towards George Garton at sweeper cover, who takes a juggling catch. The umpires want to confirm if this is a clean catch and refer this upstairs but the replays confirm the legality of this catch. Both the openers of Delhi go back qui |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Dan Christian to Rishabh Pant, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! This is a huge wicket in the context of the game as the dangerous Rishabh Pant departs! Good-length ball, angling away from off. Pant looks to cut but gets cramped for room and it goes off the outside edge to the keeper, Srikar Bharat who pouches it. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Dan Christian to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! SMASHED! Length ball, around off. Shimron Hetmyer hangs back and hits it past the mid off fielder for a boundary. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Dan Christian to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX! Shimron Hetmyer looks in the groove! Another ball in the slot, around middle. Hetmyer clears his front leg and sends it sailing over long on for a biggie! |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Dan Christian to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! WOW! What a shot! Excellent use of the bottom hand! Back of a length, outside off. Shreyas Iyer stays back and whacks it to the right of the long on fielder. Glenn Maxwell runs there and puts in a dive but the ball goes past him and into the fence! |
| 17.4: Mohammed Siraj to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! TAKEN! Easily done by Dan Christian in the deep and Iyer holes out this time! A wicket at the right time for Bangalore. Siraj runs in and hurls a full toss, he was probably looking for another yorker. It is on middle, Shreyas Iyer heaves this one towards long on, but does not time this one well. Dan Christian does not move an inch and gulps this one down. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Mohammed Siraj to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! Not the best delivery from Siraj. He hurls across a full toss, around off, Hetmyer makes room and slaps this one past point. Shahbaz Ahmed runs to his right in the deep, slides, but fumbles and lets the ball touch the ropes. They are checking if this is a waist high full toss but the umpire has a look and it is only gestured as a boundary. 7 runs and a wicket off this over! |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Harshal Patel to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX! Powerful hit from the West Indian! 150 up for Delhi! In the slot, around off, Shimron Hetmyer steps across and just thumps this one over long on. |
| 19.3: Mohammed Siraj to Ripal Patel, FOUR! What a cracking shot. Perfect whip. A low full toss, on middle, Ripal Patel stands his ground, moves his front leg away, and clips this one through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Mohammed Siraj to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket on the last ball of the innings! Siraj gets his second and he bowls a brilliant last over! He bowls a full toss, around off, Shimron Hetmyer looks to power this one over the deep mid-wicket fence but he does not have enough juice on this shot. The skipper, Virat Kohli runs to his right in the deep and takes a great catch. DELHI END ON 164/5! |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Anrich Nortje to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! CAUGHT! A golden duck for Devdutt Padikkal! Not how he would have envisioned playing in this game. This was catching practice for Ashwin in the deep and the first wicket falls in the very first over for Bangalore. Anrich Nortje hurls across a short ball, around off, Devdutt Padikkal sways away and plays the ramp shot towards third man pretty late. It is not too well timed and Ravichandran Ashwin does not move an inch to pouch this. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Anrich Nortje to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! Nortje strikes yet again and Kohli's hot and cold tournament continues on! He looked to force the issue but that proves to be his undoing. Both the Bangalore openers have walked off for tame scores. A pacy delivery from the Protea, at 146 clicks, around off, on a length, Virat Kohli looks to whip this to the leg side but the ball catches the leading edge. It goes high in the air behind the mid-wicket region. Kagiso Rabada calls for it and he has |

| 3.5 : 3.5: Axar Patel to Srikar Bharat, FOUR! Bharat finds the gap now! A clever shot. Tossed up, on middle, Srikar Bharat gets low and sweeps this one in between square leg and short fine leg and the ball speeds away to the ropes. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Kagiso Rabada to AB de Villiers, FOUR! Nicely done! Back of a length, on middle. AB de Villiers stays back and whips it towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Ravichandran Ashwin to AB de Villiers, SIX! WOW! What a clean strike! Tossed up, around off. AB de Villiers shimmies down and sends it way over the long on region for a biggie! |
| 8.6 : 8.6: Ripal Patel to AB de Villiers, FOUR! A good end to the over for Bangalore and AB finally gets hold of this one! Length ball, in the slot, outside off. AB gets low and hits it right back over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Axar Patel to AB de Villiers, OUT! CAUGHT! This is a huge wicket for Delhi as Axar Patel gets the big fish! Patel hurls a half-tracker, around off. AB mistimes his pull as the ball hurries onto him, it takes the splice of the bat and lobs up in the air towards Shreyas Iyer at deep mid-wicket who gulps it down. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Axar Patel to Srikar Bharat, FOUR! Lovely shot! Srikar Bharat goes inside-out this time! Tossed up, around off. Srikar Bharat makes room on the off side and lofts it over cover for a boundary. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: Axar Patel to Srikar Bharat, SIX! What a top shot from Bharat! Axar Patel tosses this one up, lands it fuller around middle, Srikar Bharat skips down and hammers this one over the bowler's head for a biggie. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Kagiso Rabada to Srikar Bharat, FOUR! Cleverly done by Bharat. He just used the pace of KG! Slightly shorter, outside off, Srikar Bharat waits for it, opens up the face of his blade, and guides this one to the third man fence for a boundary. 10 off this one. 80 more needed in 42 balls! |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Axar Patel to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Lovely! On middle and leg, fuller, Glenn Maxwell reverse-sweeps this one over short third man and he gets a boundary. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Axar Patel to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Another one! Maxwell is turning it on now! Fuller, around off, Glenn Maxwell gets low, reverse-hits this one through covers and the ball speeds away to the ropes. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Anrich Nortje to Glenn Maxwell, MISFIELD AND FOUR! The work out on the field in the last over has been very poor. A short ball, on middle and leg, Glenn Maxwell gets inside the line and powers this towards the fine leg region. Prithvi Shaw runs to his right, but lets the ball past him to the ropes. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Anrich Nortje to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! That brings up the 50-run stand between these two as well! Maxwell has decided to turn it on! Around off, on a length, Glenn Maxwell camps back and spanks this one through mid-wicket. The ball speeds away to the ropes. 12 off the over. 57 needed in the last 30 balls! |

| 16.4 : 16.4: Kagiso Rabada to Srikar Bharat, SIX! SMASHED! A slower ball, on a length, just outside off. Srikar Bharat tonks it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum! |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Avesh Khan to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! There is the boundary that Bangalore were looking for! Khan bangs it into the deck, outside off. Maxwell looks to cut but it goes off the top edge and the ball flies over the keeper for a boundary. 19 runs needed from 12 balls. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Avesh Khan to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! BANG! Slower ball, on a length, outside off. Glenn Maxwell gets under it and drives it past the diving mid off fielder for a boundary. 11 needed off 5 balls! |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Avesh Khan to Srikar Bharat, SIX! WOW, JUST WOW! What a finish to this match! Srikar Bharat hits a biggie on the last ball to take his team through! Khan serves a full toss, on middle. Srikar Bharat lofts it high in the night sky and the ball goes just over the long on fielder for a maximum! BANGALORE WIN THE MATCH BY 7 WICKETS! |
