| 0.6 : 0.6: Shakib Al Hasan to Virat Kohli, FOUR! First of the game. Shakib gets his line fractionally wrong. It's around leg and skidding in, Virat Kohli is quick to go down as he sweeps it firmly to the deep square leg fence. |
| 1.6: Shivam Mavi to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Once again a boundary on the last ball of the over. Fuller in length and outside off, in the slot for the cover drive and Kohli unleashes it over the infield for a boundary. It's also a no ball for overstepping. Free Hit coming... |
| 1.6: Shivam Mavi to Virat Kohli, FOUR! A good over from Mavi gets spoiled in the end. Mavi goes wide of the crease and probably wants to bowl a yorker. But the execution is not there. It's a full toss outside off and Virat slices it behind backward point for a boundary. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Lockie Ferguson to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Clever from Devdutt Padikkal. Lockie Ferguson begins with a shortish delivery, around off at 142 clicks, Padikkal hangs on the back foot, uses the pace of the bowler and glides it over short third man. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Lockie Ferguson to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Well played! A 147 kph delivery, on a length and around the leg stump line, asking to be hit. Devdutt Padikkal picks it off his pads and deflects it wide of short fine leg. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Shivam Mavi to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Virat Kohli goes aerial and fetches a boundary. This one is served on a length, around middle and off, Virat steps back and lofts it with ease over extra cover. The fielder chases but fails to pull it back. |
| 5.1: Lockie Ferguson to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! DRAGS IT ON! Lockie Ferguson strikes and roars in delight. The Kiwi speeds in from 'round the wicket and lands it on a length outside off at 149 kph, Devdutt Padikkal stands back to whack it through the line but it takes the inner portion of his blade and cannons onto the stumps. The 49-run opening stand has been broken and Kolkata would be feeling a lot better now. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Sunil Narine to Srikar Bharat, OUT! TAKEN! Bharat was not middling his shots for a long time and now he pays the price for it. Sunil Narine gets a wicket in his very first over and the hero of the last match walks back for a cheap score. This was full, tossed up and around off. Possibly a carrom ball. Srikar Bharat looks to go downtown but does not hit it with much power. Venkatesh Iyer, at long off, runs to his right and takes a very good catch. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Shakib Al Hasan to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Here comes the reverse-hit! This was full and on middle, Maxwell gets into the position quickly and powers it over point for a boundary. Bangalore would hope that this shot breaks the shackles. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Lockie Ferguson to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Bread and butter for Kohli! A full ball, on the pads. Virat Kohli flicks it uppishly over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Sunil Narine to Virat Kohli, OUT! TIMBER! Huge wicket for Kolkata as the set Virat Kohli has to go back. Fair to say, Sunil Narine is the go-to man for Morgan right now! Tossed up, full and on middle at 91.2 kph, it lands and spins back in. Virat Kohli is too early into his attempted heave across the line and also fails to read the spin. The ball sneaks through and rattles the leg stump. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Sunil Narine to AB de Villiers, FOUR! Good shot! Flatter and on off, AB de Villiers reverse-sweeps it past the diving point fielder for a boundary. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Sunil Narine to AB de Villiers, OUT! TIMBER! Massive breakthrough for Kolkata as Mr 360 departs without doing any damage. What a night Sunil Narine is having! AB de Villiers has to walk back for 11. Narine serves a loopy ball, around middle, AB de Villiers leans forward and looks to flick it away but misses. The ball sneaks through the gap between the bat and pads to rattle the stumps. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Sunil Narine to Shahbaz Ahmed, EDGY FOUR! Tossed up around off, turning away a bit, Shahbaz Ahmed tries to drive but gets a thick outside edge. It sneaks through the gap between the keeper and first slip for a boundary. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Sunil Narine to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! CAUGHT! Sunil Narine gets his fourth wicket! This time Glenn Maxwell departs and it's a body blow to Bangalore. Floated, full and on off, the ball is turning away. Glenn Maxwell swings hard at it but only manages to get a top edge. The ball goes towards short third man and Lockie Ferguson pouches it comfortably. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Lockie Ferguson to Dan Christian, FOUR! A much-needed boundary for Bangalore. Fuller and outside off, Dan Christian lifts it over extra cover and bags a boundary. Bangalore need many more boundaries at this stage. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Lockie Ferguson to Shahbaz Ahmed, OUT! CAUGHT! Lockie Ferguson gets his second wicket of the game. Ahmed wanted to go big, looking for the first maximum of the game but he pays the price. A low full toss, on off, Ahmed gets under it and lifts it towards deep mid-wicket. There were two fielders converging but Mavi calls for it and takes it safely. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Shivam Mavi to Harshal Patel, FOUR! CRACKED! Patel makes the most of the Free Hit. Full toss and outside off, Patel skips down the track and carves it through point for a boundary. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Shivam Mavi to Harshal Patel, OUT! RUN OUT! There was never a second run here. A full-length ball, outside off. Patel comes across and flicks it to square leg. Lockie Ferguson fumbles and there is a mix-up for the second run. They eventually decide to go for it. Ferguson collects the ball and throws it to the bowler at the non-striker's end. Mavi collects and clips the bails off before Dan Christian could make it in. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Mohammed Siraj to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Siraj once again drifts down the leg side, fuller and angling in, Shubman Gill flicks it with beautiful timing and places it through mid-wicket for a glorious boundary. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: George Garton to Venkatesh Iyer, SIX! Two dots and Venkatesh Iyer releases the pressure with a biggie - first of the evening. George Garton digs in a short ball, around off, Iyer gets on top of the bounce and pulls it handsomely behind square leg for a maximum. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: George Garton to Shubman Gill, FOUR! A good start to the over for Kolkata. Lovely footwork from Shubman Gill. He charges down the track to a full ball around off and drills it straight down the ground for a boundary. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: George Garton to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Shot! As a result of the last shot, George Garton goes short and delivers it around off, this time Shubman Gill sits back inside the crease and pulls it thunderously to the deep mid-wicket fence. This is smart batting. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: George Garton to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Shubman Gill gets lucky this time. A hat-trick of boundaries for Kolkata. George Garton delivers it full and in the line of the stumps, Shubman Gill steps back to hammer it through the off side but gets a big fat inside edge. It beats the stumps and scoots past the diving keeper for a boundary at fine leg. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Harshal Patel to Shubman Gill, OUT! Here is the first wicket for Bangalore and it's that man again who has done the job. Lovely deception from Harshal Patel. Slower and around middle, on a length at 114.3 kph, Shubman Gill shimmies down the track for a big heave across the line. The ball though arrives late to take the top edge.â AB de Villiers gets underneath it at mid on and takes the skier safely. Wicket number 31 in this season for Patel and he has been the go-to bowler for Virat |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Harshal Patel to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! Rahul Tripathi is away with a boundary. Fuller in length and outside off, Rahul Tripathi leans into the shot and lofts it cleanly over cover-point for a boundary. At the end of the Powerplay, Kolkata are 48/1. 91 needed off 84 balls. |
| 6.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! LBW! Second wicket goes down! Yuzvendra Chahal dishes out a well-disguised googly. Lands it around off and gets it to turn into the batsman. Rahul Tripathi has not picked it at all. He remains on the back foot as he attempts to cut it through the line. The ball beats the bat and raps him on the pads. The appeal is made but the umpire shakes his head. Srikar Bharat advises his skipper to take the DRS and Virat Kohli obliges. UltraEdge shows no sp |
| 9.6: Glenn Maxwell to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Another reverse-batted shot from Nitish Rana and this time he fetches a boundary. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Glenn Maxwell to Nitish Rana, SIX! This will release some pressure that was building. Glenn Maxwell is given the taste of his own medicine. Flighted and around middle, Nitish Rana gets into the position early and nails his reverse-batted shot behind short third man for a maximum. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Harshal Patel to Venkatesh Iyer, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Whenever Virat Kohli needs a wicket, he dials Harshal Patel's number. And he never disappoints. A tidy over by him and it ends with a prized wicket of Iyer. Patel serves a short ball, sliding down the leg side at 132.1 kph, Venkatesh Iyer hangs back and looks to pull it across the line. The ball takes the gloves and goes to the right of Srikar Bharat, who moves to that side and takes a good catch. 60 needed off 54 balls, this is still |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Dan Christian to Sunil Narine, SIX! BANG! Narine has come out with the freedom to hit and he starts with a biggie. Slightly short and on middle, Sunil Narine camps back and looks to pull it away. The ball takes the top edge and flies over the fine leg fence. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Dan Christian to Sunil Narine, SIX! Back-to-back maximums. It is all going right for Narine today. First with the ball now with the bat. Slower one, full and on leg. Narine hangs back and whips it over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: Dan Christian to Sunil Narine, SIX! All the way. Narine is taking away the game here. He gets the third maximum of the over. Slower one, fuller and outside off. Good extension of arms by Narine. He gets under the ball and muscles it over the long off fence for a biggie. AB de Villiers leaps near the ropes but the ball goes over him with ease. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Yuzvendra Chahal to Nitish Rana, OUT! CAUGHT! Needless from Nitish Rana. There was no need for him to play this shot. He has given Bangalore a sniff here. Anyway, with Narine at the other end, Nitish should have left the big-hitting for him. It's floated, full and around middle, Rana gets low and slog-sweeps it aerially towards wide long on. He does not middle it at all. AB de Villiers settles under it in the deep and takes the skier safely. 29 needed off 34 balls. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Glenn Maxwell to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Good shot! Short and around off. Dinesh Karthik hangs back and smashes it over covers for a boundary. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Mohammed Siraj to Sunil Narine, OUT! TIMBER! Bangalore keep on believing! A length ball, around middle and off. Sunil Narine is too early as he looks to swing across the line and fails to connect any part of his bat on it. The ball sneaks under his bat and disturbs the stumps. 14 required in 16 balls. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Mohammed Siraj to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Is there a twist in the tale? A length ball, outside off. Karthik hangs back and looks to cut but gets a thick outside edge to the keeper. Bharat does well to take a low catch. He is claiming the catch and DK starts to walk off. He is made to wait near the fence as the umpires want to get it checked. The third umpire watches multiple angles and eventually decides that the gloves are underneath the ball. 13 needed off 14 balls. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Dan Christian to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR! 3 needed now! A full ball, around off, Shakib Al Hasan shuffles across and paddles it over short fine leg for a boundary. Using all his experience here, Shakib Al Hasan. |
