Tells it is a belter of a pitch. Doull says it is nice and hard and the ball will come through nicely. Tells the pitches on either side of this one were the ones where the ball turned. |
| Hello and welcome to game number 16 of the league as two sides in the opposite ends of the table go against each other as 2nd placed Bangalore takes on 7th placed Rajasthan. Kohli's Bangalore have been phenomenal so far winning all three of their games. Bangalore will be eager to continue their winning run and go back to the top of the table. Rajasthan, on the other hand, have been inconsistent so far. They come into this game on the back of a thumping loss to Chennai. It will be interesting to |
| TOSS - We are all set for the spin of coin. Bangalore skipper, Virat Kohli is out in the middle along with Rajasthan captain, Sanju Samson. Kohli has the coin in hand. Up it goes! Sanju calls Tails but it comes down as Heads. BANGALORE OPT TO BOWL! |

| Rajasthan skipper, Sanju Samson, says that setting target can be a good experience. Tells it can get tight in the end as they saw in the last game and adds they need to play good cricket.

| We are all set for the action to begin! The umpires make their way out to the middle. Bangalore players are in a huddle with their skipper having final words of motivation for his troops before they take the field. Jos Buttler strides out with Manan Vohra to open the innings for Rajasthan. Massive game for Manan Vohra as he has not grabbed his opportunity so far. Mohammed Siraj to start the proceeding with the new ball for Bangalore. |
| 0.1 : Mohammed Siraj to Jos Buttler, Siraj starts with a full ball on middle. The ball moves slightly away from the right-hander. Buttler taps it to mid on. |
| 0.2 : Mohammed Siraj to Jos Buttler, This time Siraj pulls his length back and bowls it on a good length area around off. Buttler shows respect and blocks it. |
| 0.3 : Mohammed Siraj to Jos Buttler, This one comes in a bit. Good length delivery around off, it comes back in. Buttler taps it with a flat bat to the off side. |
| 0.4 : Mohammed Siraj to Jos Buttler, Beauty! An absolute beauty! This one jags back in viciously. Buttler is a very lucky man not to get a little edge and also for the extra bounce. Good length ball pitching around off. Buttler leans forward and looks to defend with gap between his bat and pad. The ball comes back in, goes between that gap and goes over the stumps. AB de Villiers dives to his left and does well to stop it. |
| 0.5 : Mohammed Siraj to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Lucky one for Buttler. Fullish ball on off, Buttler looks to drive it straight but the ball hits the inner half of his bat. The ball goes over mid on and goes to the fence. |
| 0.6 : Mohammed Siraj to Jos Buttler, FOUR! This is more Buttler! Poor ball to end the over. Siraj makes the mistake of bowling on middle and leg. Buttler shuffles in and flicks it through square leg to finish the over. 8 off the first one. Steady start for Rajasthan. |
| Kyle Jamieson to bowl from the other end. |
| 1.1 : Kyle Jamieson to Manan Vohra, Jamieson starts with a good length ball outside off, Vohra shoulders arms to it. |
| 1.2 : Kyle Jamieson to Manan Vohra, Slash and a miss! Jamieson hits the deck hard outside off. Vohra looks to pull/hoick but it is not short enough and he misses it. |
| 1.3 : Kyle Jamieson to Manan Vohra, Ohh! Good length delivery pitching around off, Manan Vohra looks to defend but the ball shapes away a bit and goes past the outside edge. |
| 1.4 : Kyle Jamieson to Manan Vohra, Very good bowling from Jamieson! Once again bowls in the channel of uncertainty around off. Vohra looks to have a poke at it but misses. |
| 1.5 : Kyle Jamieson to Manan Vohra, FOUR! Manan Vohra is off the mark in style! Jamieson goes short this time but the ball sits up nicely for Manan Vohra. He gets in position quickly and pulls it over mid-wicket with a crunching sound off his bat for a boundary. |
| 1.6 : Kyle Jamieson to Manan Vohra, Single to end the over. Just 5 off Jamieson's first! Length ball around off, Manan taps it behind point and calls for a quick run. Buttler responds well and quickly too. Vohra will keep the strike. |
| 2.1 : Mohammed Siraj to Manan Vohra, Good stop from Kohli! Saves three for his side! Good length delivery around off, Manan Vohra punches it to the right of cover. Kohli there dives and parries it away. The batters gets a single. The Bangalore skipper setting the tone in the field himself. |
| 2.2 : Mohammed Siraj to Jos Buttler, Length ball on off, Buttler keeps it out. |
| 2.3 : Sanju Samson is the next batsman in. |
| 2.5 : Mohammed Siraj to Sanju Samson, Length ball pitching outside off and coming in a bit. Samson shows respect and is happy to let it go to the keeper. |
| 2.4 : Mohammed Siraj to Sanju Samson, Good length delivery on off, Samson starts with a defensive push to the off side. |
| 2.6 : Mohammed Siraj to Sanju Samson, Excellent over from Siraj! Just a run and also the big wicket of Jos Buttler. The last ball is full on off, Samson pushes it to mid off. |
| 3.1 : Kyle Jamieson to Manan Vohra, Good running! Full ball on off, Vohra taps it to the left of mid off. He calls for a quick run. His skipper responds and gets the single with ease. |
| 3.2 : Kyle Jamieson to Sanju Samson, Good shot for nothing! Full ball on off and middle, Samson plays the on drive but straight to mid on. |
| 3.3 : Kyle Jamieson to Sanju Samson, Play and a miss! Pressure on Sanju here. He is yet to get off the mark. Jamieson hits the deck hard outside off. Samson looks to guide it over short third man but misses it. |
| 3.5 : Kyle Jamieson to Manan Vohra, OUT! CAUGHT! Another failure for Manan Vohra and he joins his opening partner, Jos Buttler very early in the dugout. Jamieson gets his first and both the new ball bowlers for Bangalore have got a wicket now. Dream start for Kohli's side. Horror one for Samson's Rajasthan. Was this shot needed? Not sure about it. Fullish ball on middle, Vohra looks to go over mid on. He does not get any timing on it and ends up chipping it high in the air. It goes over the bowl |
| 3.4 : Kyle Jamieson to Sanju Samson, The Rajasthan skipper is finally off the mark! Good length ball on off and middle, Samson tucks it to the left of short mid-wicket and gets a single. |
| 3.5 : David Miller is the next batsman in. |
| 3.6 : Kyle Jamieson to Sanju Samson, Fullish ball on off, Samson taps it to the right of mid off. He calls for a quick run, puts a dive too and gets the run. Excellent start for Bangalore. Rajasthan are reeling at 17/2 at the end of 4 overs. |

| 4.1 : Mohammed Siraj to Sanju Samson, Nicely played! Fuller on off, Samson drives it to the left of mid on. Richardson runs to that side and dives to keep it down to one. |
| 2.3 : Review time! An appeal for lbw! David Miller is the man in question. Ultra Edge shows there is no bat involved. Ball Tracker shows that it is three reds. |
| Shivam Dube is the next batsman in. |
| 4.4 : Mohammed Siraj to Shivam Dube, Very full ball on middle, Dube jams it out. |
| 4.3 : Mohammed Siraj to David Miller, OUT! LBW! Fantastic review from Bangalore and their start gets better for them! Credit to Kohli too for backing his bowler and going with his instinct. Siraj said it was pad first and it indeed was boot first. Miller departs for a duck. A corker of a yorker from Siraj. It is pacy and skiddy. Miller is taken by surprise. He looks to defend but the ball seems to have hit his bot before the bat. There is a huge appeal but the umpire is unmoved. Siraj convinces K |
| 4.5 : Mohammed Siraj to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Excellent shot from Dube to get off the mark! Siraj misses his line a bit and bowls a length ball outside off. Dube is quick to pounce on the width. He punches it off the back foot through covers for a boundary. |

| 5.4 : Kane Richardson to Sanju Samson, Back of a length on off, Samson guides it towards third man for a single. |
| 2.3 : Mohammed Siraj to Jos Buttler, OUT! BOWLED! Early blow for Rajasthan and it is a bg blow as Buttler has departed without making much of an impact in this game. Siraj wins the battle against Buttler and he has given Kohli a brilliant start here. This man is a completely different bowler now. Nothing fazes him and he has improved leaps and bounds over the years. Good length delivery pitching on middle, Buttler moves away from the stumps, and exposes all three. Siraj says thank you very much a |
| 5.5 : Kane Richardson to Shivam Dube, Short delivery on off, Dube defends it off the back foot. |
| 5.6 : Kane Richardson to Shivam Dube, BEATEN! Good length ball outside off, Dube looks to cut but misses it. |

| 6.3 : Yuzvendra Chahal to Shivam Dube, Flighted ball on middle, Dube flicks it towards mid-wicket for a single. |
| 5.6 : Change from both ends. Spin into the attack for the first time this evening. Yuzvendra Chahal is introduced into the action. This will be an interesting battle between Samson and Chahal. Last season it was Chahal who got rid of Samson both the times. How will he fare tonight? |

| 7.1 : Washington Sundar to Sanju Samson, SIX! Nice use of the feet! Flighted delivery on middle, Samson comes down the track and lofts it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 7.2 : Washington Sundar to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! Sundar gets his first wicket! Floated delivery on middle, Samson flicks it uppishly towards mid-wicket where Maxwell takes a comfortable catch. |

| 9.1 : Washington Sundar to Riyan Parag, Flighted delivery on middle, Parag pushes it through mid on for a single. |
| 0.0 : Time Out! Excellent game so far for Bangalore. They have dominated proceedings so far in this game and will look to carry that on. Rajasthan did enter this break on the back of a 17 run over but apart from that it has been an awful show from them. Dube though has got a start and Rajasthan will hope that the former Bangalore man can make it count and do the damage against his former side. |

| 10.5 : Kane Richardson to Shivam Dube, Back of a length on off, Dube punches it through point for a single. |
| 10.6 : Kane Richardson to Riyan Parag, PLAY AND A MISS! Short delivery on off, Parag looks to guide but misses it. |
| Harshal Patel is into the attack. |
| 11.1 : Harshal Patel to Shivam Dube, Harshal starts with a slowish ball on a length on off. Dube runs it down to third man for one. |
| 11.2 : Harshal Patel to Riyan Parag, EDGED AND FOUR! Lucky for Parag but Rajasthan will not mind this one bit. Good length ball outside off, Parag looks to slash it through the off side but gets an outside edge which goes away from de Villiers and fine to the third man fence. |
| 11.3 : Harshal Patel to Riyan Parag, IN THE AIR AND FOUR! Poor from Siraj! Fullish ball around off, Parag slices it over covers from the fielder. Siraj there runs for the catch but then slows down. He takes it too casually and lets the ball go to the fence. |
| 11.4 : Harshal Patel to Riyan Parag, Full on off, Parag strokes it to long off for one. |
| 11.5 : Harshal Patel to Shivam Dube, Fuller on off, Dube pushes it to short cover. |
| 11.6 : Harshal Patel to Shivam Dube, WIDE! Harshal misses his line and bowls one way outside off. Slower ball but Harshal misses his radar and bowls it on the wrong side of the tramline. |
| Kyle Jamieson is back on. |
| Harshal Patel to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Expensive start for Harshal Patel! 15 from his first over. The last ball is a bounce and Dube has no issues if there is no third man. He just places it away from short third man and gets a boundary. |
| 12.2 : Kyle Jamieson to Riyan Parag, FOUR! Very well played! Fullish ball on off, Parag goes over extra cover and times it well as the ball goes to the fence on a bounce. |
| 12.1 : Kyle Jamieson to Riyan Parag, Good length delivery on off. Parag taps it to the left of point. The fielder there dives and saves runs for his side. |
| 12.3 : Kyle Jamieson to Riyan Parag, Smart cricket. Follows the boundary with a single to the on side via a flick. |

| 12.5 : Kyle Jamieson to Shivam Dube, Good length delivery on middle. Dube punches it towards point and gets a single. |
| 12.6 : Kyle Jamieson to Riyan Parag, What a brilliant effort from Kohli! He almost pulled off a stunner there but unfortunately, he cannot hold onto it and harshly it will technically be termed as a dropped. Fullish ball on off, Parag drives it uppishly to the right of the man at catching cover position. It goes low to the right of Kohli. The Bangalore skipper dives and gets his hands to it but fails to hold onto it. |
| 13.1 : Harshal Patel to Shivam Dube, Back of a length delivery on off, Dube mistimes his pull towards mid on for one. |
| 13.2 : Harshal Patel to Riyan Parag, FOUR! WHAT A SHOT! The helicopter from Parag! Fullish ball on middle, Parag swings his blade in trademark Dhoni style and hits it through the cow corner region for a boundary. |
| 13.3 : Harshal Patel to Riyan Parag, OUT! CAUGHT! Harshal Patel has the last laugh and the budding stand has been cut short. Just when Parag was starting to spread his wings, Harshal Patel has cut them off. Fullish ball around off, Parag looked to be too cute as he shuffles inside and looks to scoop it over short fine leg. He turns the bat a fraction too early. The ball takes the leading edge and goes straight to Yuzvendra Chahal at third man and takes the catch. |
| Rahul Tewatia is the new batsman in. |
| 13.6 : Harshal Patel to Rahul Tewatia, WIDE! Slower yorker but too wide outside off. It is on the wrong side of the tramline. Tewatia leaves it and this time gets a wide. |
| 13.4 : Harshal Patel to Rahul Tewatia, Full and wide outside off. Tewatia leaves it but the umpire thinks it is inside the tramline. |
| 13.5 : Harshal Patel to Rahul Tewatia, SIX! SLAMMED! Tewatia gets off the mark with a biggie! Length ball on middle, it sits well for Tewatia. He swivels his pull over backward square leg for a biggie. |
| 13.6 : Harshal Patel to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Tickled fine! A wicket of the over but still a very expensive one. 16 from it. The last ball is on the pads, Tewatia clips it fine away from diving de Villiers and gets a boundary. Mumbai has not been as kind to Harshal Patel as Chennai. 31 from his 2 overs so far. |
| STRATEGIC TIME-OUT! Rajasthan are going well here but have lost Riyan Parag. His partnership with Dube was going well for Rajasthan. On the other hand, Bangalore have done well to break this partnership and would look to restrict Rajasthan under 180. Washington Sundar is back on. |
| 14.1 : Washington Sundar to Shivam Dube, Swing and a miss! Floated delivery around leg. Dube looks to whack it across the line. The ball misses the bat and goes between his bat and body. It goes behind the keeper for one. |
| 14.2 : Washington Sundar to Rahul Tewatia, Flatter on off, Tewatia pushes it to the off side for one. |
| 14.3 : Washington Sundar to Shivam Dube, Shorter on off, Dube punches it to cover for one. |
| 14.5 : Washington Sundar to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Brilliant from Tewatia. Flatter on middle and leg. Tewatia premeditates and gets quickly in a position to reverse sweep. He hits it over cover-point and away from the fielder in the deep to get a boundary. |
| 14.4 : Washington Sundar to Rahul Tewatia, Flatter on off, Rahul Tewatia strokes it to mid off. |
| 15.1 : Kane Richardson to Rahul Tewatia, Short delivery on off, Tewatia cuts it through point for a single. |
| 15.2 : Kane Richardson to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Good length delivery on off, Dube looks to go big but gets an outside edge. It goes over third man for a boundary. |
| 15.3 : Kane Richardson to Shivam Dube, OUT! CAUGHT! Richardson gets his first wicket! Length delivery on middle, Dube lofts it over mid on but does not get the timing on it. It goes towards long on where Maxwell dives forward and takes a good low catch. |
| 14.6 : Washington Sundar to Rahul Tewatia, Darted on middle and off, RT punches it through mid on and keeps the strike. 8 off the over. |
| 15.3 : One former Bangalore all-rounder replaces another as Chris Morris walks out to bat against his old side. |

| 19.1 : Chetan Sakariya is the new man in. |
| 18.6 : Mohammed Siraj to Rahul Tewatia, OUT! CAUGHT! Siraj gets his third wicket! Short delivery on middle, Tewatia pulls it over mid-wicket but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards the fielder where Shahbaz Ahmed takes a comfortable catch. |
| 19.1 : Harshal Patel to Chris Morris, OUT! CAUGHT! Patel gets his second wicket! Full delivery on off, Morris looks to play the paddle scoop shot but does not get it off the middle of the bat. It goes towards short fine leg where Yuzvendra Chahal takes a simple catch. |
| 18.4 : Mohammed Siraj to Rahul Tewatia, Short delivery on off, Tewatia pulls it over mid on. The fielder in the deep does well to stop it. Two runs taken. |

| A good comeback from Rajasthan. They have given themselves a fair shot to win this game. They will be extremely pleased to get in excess of 175 after struggling at 43/4. Bangalore have been excellent in the death in Chennai but not today in Mumbai. 73 from the last 7 overs but they would have taken anything under 180 at the start of the game. |
| The key star of Rajasthan's innings, Rahul Tewatia is caught for a chat. He says that it is a good score on the board by them. Adds that Bangalore bowlers were bowling some off cutters. Mentions that the wicket is on the slower side as the pacers were bowling. Ends by saying that the bowlers should be able to defend this. |
| A tale of two halves for Bangalore's bowlers. They were brilliant in the first 10 overs but lost a bit of plot in the last 10. Siraj though was the star with the ball. He finished with 3/27 from his 4. Harshal Patel got 3 as well  but it was a tough night for him as he went for 47. Jamieson was good again as he finished with 1/28. It was a tough outing for the returning Kane Richardson as he went for 29 in his 3 and was also wicketless. Sundar was the other bowler with a wicket. Chahal bowled j |
| So 178 is what Bangalore need to continue their 100 percent win record. Rajasthan have runs on the board and will be happy to have so many after where they found themselves at one stage. Is this going to be good enough to restrict a powerhouse Bangalore batting lineup? Join us for the chase to find out. |
| After being put to bat, Rajasthan got off to a terrible start as they lost Buttler, Vohra and Miller all inside the Powerplay. Sanju Samson failed to convert his start too. At 43/4, it looked like Rajasthan would struggle to get to 150. But a 66-run stand between Dube and Parag kept Rajasthan in the game and steadied the ship. They took the attack in the final 10 overs scoring 107 in that phase. Dube's 46 and a quickfire 40 off just 23 balls from Rahul Tewatia took Rajasthan to a very good total |
| We are back for the chase! The Rajasthan players are in a huddle before they take the field. Kohli is all padded up and ready to walk out to bat with Devdutt Padikkal to open the innings for Bangalore. Out they walk! |
