| 0.3 : 0.3: U Yadav to R Sharma, FOUR! A present on the very first ball for Rohit and he takes it with both hands. Down the leg side, Rohit just helps it on its way to the fine leg fence. First boundary of the game. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: U Yadav to R Sharma, FOUR! Easy pickings! Consecutive boundaries! On the pads, Rohit just flicks it through square leg and it races away. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: N Saini to R Sharma, FOUR! Rohit is only scoring in boundaries here! His third so far. This was fortunate though. Navdeep bowls a good ball, it lands on off and jags back in. Rohit tries to keep it out but it goes off the inside edge, over the stumps and to the fine leg fence. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: N Saini to R Sharma, FOUR! Rohit moves onto 16 and he has scored all of his runs in boundaries. This is delightful. Slightly full and on off, Rohit leans into the stroke and hits it past cover. Second boundary in the over and the second over too goes for 9. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: U Yadav to de Kock, FOUR! That has been dismissed! Slightly short and de Kock picks the length early. He pulls it right through mid-wicket and the ball races away. A boundary at least in the first three overs. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: N Saini to R Sharma, SIX! He has picked the bones out of that one! Short and on middle, once again, Rohit picks the length very early. He transfers his weight onto the back foot and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence for the first biggie. |
| 4.3: M Siraj to de Kock, SIX! All the way! Trademark de Kock this. Takes a few steps down the ground and then smashes the length ball over the long on fence. First biggie for him. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: M Siraj to R Sharma, FOUR! Bludgeoned! That has gone to the fence like a tracer bullet. Length and outside off, Sharma stands tall and smashes it past the fielder at mid off. An expensive start from Siraj, 11 from his first. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: N Saini to de Kock, DROPPED AND FOUR! That is like rubbing salt to the wound. Grandhomme is the culprit. That should have been taken. Full and on middle, de Kock flicks it but uppishly towards mid-wicket. Colin there stretches his two hands upwards and tries to catch it but the ball bursts through and then goes to the fence behind. Big let off this, de Kock can be very dangerous here. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: N Saini to R Sharma, FOUR! Excellent way to end the Powerplay for Mumbai. 9 from it and it also brings the 50-run stand up. Ideal stand for Mumbai. Saini bowls this full and on off, Rohit lofts it over covers to bag another boundary. All Mumbai in the first six. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Y Chahal to de Kock, OUT! This is what you call impact! What a player, Yuzvendra Chahal. Gets rid of the dangerous de Kock in his very first over. He tosses it up on leg stump, Quinton de Kock moves across, maybe a little too much, as he looks to drag the reverse sweep on the off side. It goes off the under edge and disturbs the stumps behind. The break does the job for the hosts, they get their first breakthrough. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Y Chahal to R Sharma, FOUR! Poor line and he pays the price for it. Full on the pads, Rohit kneels down and sweeps it down the leg side. Nobody out there in the deep, so the ball runs away to the fence. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: de Grandhomme to R Sharma, FOUR! Slog sweeps a pace bowler. Wow. That's the kind of form he's in this evening. De Grandhomme attacks the off stick with a full ball and Rohit gets low fast. He slog sweeps it aerially in front of square leg and beats the two men in the deep. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: U Yadav to S Yadav, FOUR! Welcome back into the attack Yadav! Short and on off, SKY is quick to latch onto it. He pulls it through mid-wicket. The outfield is such that if it is in the gap, it is a certain boundary. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: U Yadav to R Sharma, OUT! In the air... taken! There goes the Hitman, two short of a half ton. A wicket completely against the run of play. Bangalore will be delighted as Rohit was looking extremely good. A delivery which is on the shorter side and it is outside off. It skids through. Rohit looks to pull but the ball hurries onto him. His bat turns in his hands and he ends up mistiming it high in the air towards long on. Siraj there runs in and takes a sliding catch. The bowling change has |
| 12.5 : 12.5: M Ali to S Yadav, SIX! Into the stands! A shot with not a lot of risk as it was with the turn. Yadav clears his front leg and then tonks it into the long on stands. Brings the 100 up for Mumbai. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: M Ali to S Yadav, FOUR! 10 from the last two deliveries and 13 from the over. Not what Bangalore wanted as they were starting to tighten things up here. Top shot this from SKY. He whips this through mid-wicket. It is in the gap and it races away to the fence. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Y Chahal to Y Singh, SIX! That is huge! He has really hit that hard. Yes, it is a poor ball but it still has to be put away. Short and on middle, Yuvraj goes back and pulls it over the square leg fence. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Y Chahal to Y Singh, SIX! Back-to-back maximums! Yuvraj Singh is on fire here. What a clean hit. Chahal gives it air this time but lands it very full on off. Yuvraj hits it over the bowler's head. The connection is such that it goes all the way. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Y Chahal to Y Singh, SIX! High and handsome! Three in a row! Another poor ball. Short and outside off, Yuvraj goes back and powers it over the long on stands. Will he now make it 4 in 4 here? |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Y Chahal to Y Singh, OUT! No, he does not! He does look to go for it but falls in the attempt to do so. Chahal is brave enough to toss it up outside off. It may have been the googly. Yuvraj looks to clear long off this time but does not get it off the middle. It goes towards the fielder there. Siraj for a second seems to have misjudged it but then takes it with both his hands raised above his head. Also, a tumble after that. Chahal gets his second and Yuvraj walks back disappointed. Not su |
| 14.3 : 14.3: de Grandhomme to S Yadav, FOUR! Innovative. De Grandhomme goes full, a little straight in line, Yadav moves across and paddle sweeps it fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: de Grandhomme to S Yadav, FOUR! Short of a good length outside off, slower in pace, Yadav throws his bat at it and it goes off the edge over the keeper's head. A boundary results. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Y Chahal to S Yadav, OUT! Chahal gets another wicket! His third! Now, two new batsmen will be out in the middle. Just what Bangalore would have wanted. This is tossed up outside off, SKY looks to go over covers but the ball turns. It hits the bottom part and goes high up in the air. Moeen Ali from cover-point runs to his right and takes a good catch. End of a very good innings from Suryakumar Yadav but Mumbai would have wanted him to stay out there. Bangalore on the other hand are managing |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Y Chahal to K Pollard, OUT! Second in the over for Chahal and he gets rid of the dangerous Pollard. Finishes with a four-fer does the leggie. Half the side in the hut for the visitors and they seem to be losing their way a little. Once again great courage shown by Chahal as he gives it a lot of air and land it outside off. Pollard looks to go inside out but the little turn away does him in. He ends up slicing it towards the man at sweeper cover. Hetmyer there settles under it and takes it. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: U Yadav to K Pandya, OUT! Another Mumbai wicket down! Bangalore slowly rising on top of the game here. Umesh bangs it in short and down leg, Krunal pulls this away. Doesn't get enough height on it as Saini out in the deep leaps and takes it just inside the rope. The umpire checks upstairs whether his foot touched the rope and also if Umesh overstepped his line, and it's fine on both accounts. The elder Pandya has to depart. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: M Siraj to M McClenaghan, OUT! Another one bites the dust! McClenaghan has played it on and now Bangalore are into the bowlers. This is bowled outside off and it is on a length. MM goes after it away from his body but only manages an inside edge onto the stumps. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: M Siraj to M Markande, FOUR! Off the mark in style and these are handy runs for the visitors. On the pads and Markande works it through square leg. It is in the gap and it races to the fence for a boundary. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: M Siraj to H Pandya, FOUR! Pandya now gets off the mark in style! What a shot that is. He shuffles right across tempting the batsman to bowl on his pads. Siraj falls for the trap as he does so. Pandya flicks it through square leg and a boundary results. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: N Saini to H Pandya, FOUR! And Hardik goes bang! Full toss on off stump, the younger Pandya, with an absolutely straight bat, hammers it straight over the bowler's head, bisecting the two men out in the deep. He holds the pose for the cameras too. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: N Saini to H Pandya, SIX! That's gone a looooooonnnnnggggggg waaaaayyyyy! Hardik Pandya makes the sweetest of connections when he dispatches this. Short of a good length on the stumps, the Mumbai all-rounder stands his ground and muscles the pull deep into the mid-wicket stands. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: M Siraj to M Markande, OUT! Eventually, he's given out caught behind. Length ball cutting in off the deck, Markande tries to run it down to third man with an open face but the ball seemingly goes off the inside edge. The batsmen cross over and there is an appeal for a run out as well, but it's caught behind. Hardik won't be on strike for the next ball. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: M Siraj to H Pandya, SIX! Hardik Pandya giving his side a late impetus here. This is exceptional hitting. Full ball and it's right in his slot, he stands his ground and tonks it over the long on fence for a maximum. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: M Siraj to H Pandya, SIX! Take a bow, Hardik Pandya. This is superb. Superb. He stands deep inside his crease, it's bowled full again, but due to his starting position he's able to get under the ball and slog it over mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: M McClenaghan to P Patel, FOUR! Too easy for Patel. He feeds on such deliveries. On the pads, Patel works it through mid-wicket and the ball races away. First boundary for Bangalore. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: M McClenaghan to P Patel, FOUR! Terrific shot! Slightly short and Parthiv pounces on it. He pulls it over mid-wicket for a one bounce boundary. Bangalore will hope this will get them going. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: M McClenaghan to M Ali, FOUR! Top edge and a boundary! Second in the over. Short and this is bowled at a good height. Moeen does not get on top of the bounce but still goes for the pull. It takes the top edge and over the keeper's head for a boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: M McClenaghan to M Ali, SIX! Right out of the screws! First maximum of the game. 17 from MM's second. Another gift from him. Full and on the pads. Moeen whips it right off the middle and into the square leg stand. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: J Bumrah to P Patel, OUT! And that is why he was walking back as he is way short! The opening stand has been broken in the last way Bangalore would have wanted. Just as Moeen Ali seemed to get going, he has been run out. A suicidal run to be honest. Parthiv works it towards mid-wicket and sets off. Ali is a touch hesitant but then has to go for it as PP is halfway down the track. Rohit from mid-wicket gets to the ball quickly, picks it up and hits the bull's eye at the striker's end. The Mu |
| 3.4 : 3.4: J Bumrah to V Kohli, FOUR! In the air... but away from mid on. Kohli would have had his heart in the mouth for a moment. Short and on middle, Kohli pulls it uppishly towards mid on. The fielder is a little wide and a boundary results. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: J Bumrah to V Kohli, FOUR! This time an edgy boundary! Kohli won't mind though. Bumrah goes full and outside off, Kohli looks to force it through the off side but only manages an outside edge. It is very fine, no chance for third man and consecutive boundaries for the Bangalore skipper. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: J Bumrah to V Kohli, FOUR! Make that three in a row! Kohli has come out all guns blazing. Best of the boundaries these. Another length delivery outside off. Kohli waits for it and at the very end opens the face of the bat. It races through cover-point for a boundary. So two dots and a wicket on the first three balls, three boundaries to end the action-packed over. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: H Pandya to V Kohli, FOUR! Cracking shot from the skipper. Short and outside off, Kohli smashes it through point for a boundary. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: H Pandya to V Kohli, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for the skipper. Full and outside off, Kohli comes down the track and drives it through covers for a boundary. 9 runs have come from the over. Good one for Bangalore. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: K Pandya to P Patel, FOUR! Welcome into the attack Krunal! A shot with minimal risk as it was with the turn. Also, the 50 is up for Bangalore. Krunal tosses it up on middle, Parthiv whips it through mid-wicket and bags a boundary. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: K Pandya to P Patel, SIX! 10 from the first two balls and Bangalore are off to a flier. Brings the slog sweep out, gets it off the middle and it sails into the stands. Top shot. |
| 6.2: M Markande to P Patel, FOUR! Misfield! This is very full and Markande pays the price. Outside off, Parthiv hits it through covers. The long off fielder runs to his right and dives over the ball. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: M Markande to P Patel, OUT! TIMBER! Mayank strikes in his first over. Breaks the stand which was threatening to take the game away from Mumbai. Exactly what Rohit wanted. It is the googly which does the trick for him. It is flatter and outside off, Patel goes back and looks to cut which means he picked the googly. The ball though is very close to play that shot. PP only manages an inside edge which ricochets onto the stumps behind. Patel walks back after getting a start. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: M Markande to V Kohli, FOUR! Straight as an arrow! This is flighted on middle, Kohli makes moves his front leg out of the way and tonks it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: M Markande to de Villiers, SIX! This should get ABD going. This is very full, right in the zone for de Villiers. He lofts it over long off and it goes all the way. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: L Malinga to de Villiers, SIX! That's gone all the way! Fine way to end the over from de Villiers. 14 runs have come off it. Just ahead of a length, on middle, it's the cutter, AB goes leg side. Slogs it powerfully enough over square leg and gets a maximum to his name. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: J Bumrah to V Kohli, OUT! And Bumrah does it again! Once again when his team needed it, he's stood up and delivered. He bangs this in short, it comes at good pace and hurries Kohli into the pull shot. He can only manage a top edge and the ball lobs towards mid-wicket. Hardik Pandya there settles under it and takes a safe catch. Crucial partnership of 49 has come to a close. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: H Pandya to de Villiers, FOUR! Not in complete control of that shot. AB will feel he's lucky, but will take the runs all the same. This short ball sits up for him, de Villiers stands tall and heaves it towards wide long on. Suryakumar Yadav out in the deep comes in to his right and dives, but the ball falls short. Goes through him and it's a boundary. Hardik isn't pleased with the effort. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: H Pandya to de Villiers, FOUR! Two in two for de Villiers. This is a much better shot. Short again, he sticks back, nails the pull as he hits it over mid-wicket. A few bounces and it beats the fielder in the deep to the boundary. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: L Malinga to de Villiers, FOUR! There's a massive appeal for a leg before, but the umpire has signalled runs. Rohit Sharma has a chat with his bowler and keeper, and decides not to take the DRS. Good decision in the end, replay shows there is some bat involved. Full toss on the stumps, de Villiers gets low to slog sweep but it takes the inside edge, goes off the pad and runs away to the fine leg fence. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: L Malinga to de Villiers, SIX! That is outta here! Sweet hit from de Villiers. Fuller and outside off, AB picks his spot, lines it up and smashes it over wide long off for a biggie. Super shot. With this, AB de Villiers completes 4000 runs in the Indian T20 League. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: L Malinga to de Villiers, SIX! Consecutive maximums from AB de Villiers. He is turning it on here, folks! It is on. This length ball on middle and leg is right there for AB to dispatch. He adjusts in crease, gives it the full swing of his bat and clears the mid-wicket boundary comfortably. 20 from the over, 31 from the last 2. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: J Bumrah to S Hetmyer, OUT! Would you look at that? He's come on and already got a breakthrough. This is what the best in the business do. They deliver. It's full on the stumps, Hetmyer backs away and tries to go big downtown. Mistimes it altogether and hands a simple enough catch to Hardik Pandya at mid off. A bit poor from Hetmyer, all he needed to do was give the strike to AB. Nothing more. |
| 17.1: H Pandya to de Villiers, FOUR! Perfect start to the over from de Villiers. Premeditates this one. Moves well across before, he gets a full toss outside off and slog sweeps it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: H Pandya to de Villiers, SIX! Mr. 360 for a reason! He somehow finds a way to score in any area. Look at that! Full and wide outside off, de Villiers gets down, reaches out to it and just hacks it over covers. Clears the leaping fielder just inside the rope and gets a maximum to his name. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: H Pandya to de Villiers, SIX! Whoever might have mentioned that he's finished, they probably might want to reconsider. Wow. With him already in form, Hardik isn't helping himself with a juicy full toss. AB de Villiers slams it into the mid-wicket stands for half a dozen. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: J Bumrah to de Grandhomme, OUT! Gone next ball. Bumrah with another wicket. Been an exceptional over so far. Short of a length outside off, de Grandhomme lofts it over covers. Never in control of this, he skies it towards the man in the deep. Krunal out there moves to his right, gets under the ball and gobbles it up. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: L Malinga to S Dubey, SIX! And young Dubey goes big... really big! First ball of the over and he sends it sailing. Full and right in the slot, the southpaw stays deep inside the crease and smokes it over long off for half a dozen. 11 needed off 5 balls. |
