| 1.2 : 1.2: N Saini to M Guptill, FOUR! First boundary of the game and it comes off the bat of Guptill. Poor ball from Saini. Good length ball on the pads, Guptill easily flicks it through fine leg for a boundary. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: N Saini to M Guptill, SIX! Follows the first boundary with a first six of the innings. Good length ball on off, Guptill gets on his front foot and smokes it over the long off fence for a maximum. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: N Saini to W Saha, FOUR! What a shot that is from Saha. Good length ball on off, Saha gets on top of the ball and punches it delightfully through covers for a boundary. 19 off Saini's first. Very expensive start for him. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: U Yadav to M Guptill, SIX! Inside out! A length ball outside off, Guptill comes down the track and sends this sailing over extra cover! |
| 3.1: Y Chahal to W Saha,FOUR! Smart batting this. There is no fielder at deep square leg. Tossed up delivery on middle and leg, Saha makes the most of it and gets down on one knee and sweeps it over square leg for a boundary. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Y Chahal to W Saha, FOUR! This is even better. Short on middle from Chahal, Saha picks the length early and whips it through mid-wicket for a boundary |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Y Chahal to W Saha, FOUR! Just over! Tossed up delivery around off, Saha lofts it over the mid off fielder. The fielder there jumps and stretches his arms up in the air but it is over him. |
| 4.3: N Saini to W Saha, OUT! Saha departs. Saini gets his man. Full length delivery on middle, Saha looks to go over mid on. He cannot time it though and the ball goes to the left of the fielder there. Umesh Yadav moves to his left and takes a good catch. The idea was not wrong to go at it in the Powerplay but the execution was not right from Saha. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: N Saini to M Guptill, FOUR! Slapped and slapped hard. Good length ball outside off, Guptill frees his arms and slaps it through covers for a boundary. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: K Khejroliya to M Pandey, FOUR! CLASSY! Full and outside off, Pandey leans and drives it through the covers for a boundary! |
| 7.2 : 7.2: W Sundar to M Guptill, OUT! Soft dismissal! Martin Guptill will be absolutely kicking himself. Had faced 22 balls, got to 30, had his eye in and got set. But then, thrown it away. A nothing ball, a nothing shot. Fractionally short, outside off, Guptill gets across and just punches it towards long on. It should have been a casual single but Virat Kohli quickly gets across from short mid-wicket and takes it easily. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: W Sundar to M Pandey, OUT! Pandey has been given his marching orders! Tough call for the third umpire. Numerous replays were seen for this. A short ball, outside off, Pandey dragged the pull towards deep mid-wicket. Hetmyer ran to his right, covering good ground and dived, claiming to have taken the catch. But Pandey was going nowhere and the umpires got together for a chat. They referred it upstairs with the soft signal being out. Now, according to a few replays, the ball seemed to have to |
| 9.6 : 9.6: W Sundar to K Williamson, FOUR! Nice way to end the halfway stage. Short and outside off, Williamson hops and punches it behind point for a boundary! |
| 10.4 : 10.4: U Yadav to K Williamson, FOUR! Effortless timing. Around middle and off, Williamson works this through mid-wicket and the ball races away! |
| 12.1 : 12.1: de Grandhomme to V Shankar, SIX! Welcome into the attack! Loose ball and punished. A length ball, outside off, Shankar calmly whips it over deep mid-wicket! Into the stands! |
| 13.3 : 13.3: W Sundar to V Shankar, SIX! BLUDGEONED! Tossed up outside off, Shankar gets down and swings this cleanly over mid-wicket! |
| 13.4 : 13.4: W Sundar to V Shankar, SIX! And another. More flight, another departure. Sundar tosses this up, giving it plenty of air and Shankar promptly gets down and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket! |
| 13.5 : 13.5: W Sundar to V Shankar, OUT! Caught! One too many by Vijay Shankar. Sundar has the last laugh. He tosses this one too but there is less pace on it. Shankar lines up for the sweep again but this time, he is early. Gets a top edge which goes straight up in the air. The keeper starts to go for it but Colin de Grandhomme from short fine leg makes a clear, loud call and takes it after coming a few steps forward. End of a 45-run stand. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: K Khejroliya to K Williamson, SIX! The skipper goes big. A length ball, around middle, Williamson gets down and sweep-flicks this over square leg! |
| 14.6 : 14.6: K Khejroliya to K Williamson, SIX! For some reason, mid-wicket is empty. Williamson explores that real estate area and pulls this with aplomb. 15 from the over, 41 from the last 3. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Y Chahal to Y Pathan, OUT! 100th INDIAN T20 LEAGUE WICKET FOR CHAHAL! 11th Indian to achieve this feat. Tossed up outside off, Pathan looks to go inside out but cannot quite get the elevation. Hits it to sweeper cover where Umesh Yadav completes the formalities. Sad season for Yusuf... |
| 16.1 : 16.1: N Saini to K Williamson, FOUR! Off the inner half! Full and around off, Williamon swings hard but the ball goes off the inner half of the bat, past short fine leg. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: N Saini to M Nabi, FOUR! BOOM! Full and outside off, Nabi backs away and smashes it wide of mid off for a boundary! |
| 16.6 : 16.6: N Saini to M Nabi, OUT! Taken in the deep! No heroics from Nabi tonight. A length ball outside off, Nabi swings hard but only manages to get more height than distance. It is a simple catch for Gurkeerat Singh at wide long on. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: K Khejroliya to R Khan, OUT! Rashid departs too! Another short ball, sucks Rashid into the pull and the height does him in. Mistimes his shot and Shimron Hetmyer takes it calmly at deep mid-wicket. Forget 170 now. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: U Yadav to K Williamson, SIX! Classy! Full and outside off, Williamson reaches out and lofts it as clean as a whistle over long off! Half century for Kane Williamson, how many more can the skipper get? |
| 19.2 : 19.2: U Yadav to K Williamson, FOUR! Full toss and a boundary! Poor bowling and the Hyderabad captain just bashes it over mid off. First ball, he timed, got a six. Second ball, he tried power and mistimed. But a boundary. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: U Yadav to K Williamson, SIX! Into the crowd again! A short ball, outside off, Williamson goes back and pulls it over mid-wicket! |
| 19.4 : 19.4: U Yadav to K Williamson, FOUR! 20 from the over already! A length ball outside off, Williamson punches it through the covers for a boundary! |
| 19.6 : 19.6: U Yadav to B Kumar, TOP EDGE, FOUR! 28 runs from the final over. Hyderabad have got something to defend. A short ball, around middle, Kumar swings hard but gets a top edge. However, it sails over short fine leg and lands just inside the boundary! BANGALORE NEED 176 TO WIN. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: B Kumar to P Patel, OUT! Caught! Parthiv goes for a duck. Just the start Hyderabad wanted. Good length ball on middle and off, Parthiv looks to whip it across the line but gets a leading edge which goes high in the air towards backward point. Manish Pandey moves behind, settles under it and takes the catch. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: B Kumar to V Kohli, FOUR! First boundary of the innings. Good length ball outside off, Kohli slashes it over covers. His bottom hand comes off the bat but it still goes over for a boundary. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: K Ahmed to V Kohli, FOUR! Not the start Khaleel would have wanted. Full on off, Kohli smacks it through long off for a boundary. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: K Ahmed to V Kohli, SIX! This is even better. Full on middle, it is in Kohli's slot. He takes full toll of it and smokes it over long on for a maximum. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: K Ahmed to V Kohli, OUT! Khaleel has the last laugh. That's the wicket Williamson was looking for. Virat Kohli departs and there is stunned silence here in Bengaluru. Good length ball outside off, Kohli comes down the track to smack it but gets a feather on it towards Saha. Saha takes the catch and goes up in celebration. Kohli does not wait and starts walking to the dug out. |
| 2.5: B Kumar to de Villiers, OUT! AB de Villiers is out of here. Khaleel got the first big fish in the previous over, now Bhuvneshwar gets the other big fish. His second of the game. Good length ball around off. There is a hint of away swing on this one. There is a slip in place. AB de Villiers looks to run it down to third man but gets an outside edge which flied to the slip. Martin Guptill takes a regulation catch there. Gurkeerat Singh walks in next. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: K Ahmed to S Hetmyer, FOUR! That is typical Hetmyer. We have not seen much of him in this League but can he bow out with a bang? Back of a length ball on the body, Shimron pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: K Ahmed to S Hetmyer, FOUR! This time on the off side. Length ball outside off, Hetmyer slaps it through point for a boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: K Ahmed to Singh Mann, FOUR! Excellent shot. Good length ball around off, Singh Mann smacks it through covers for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: R Khan to S Hetmyer, SIX! That is smoked. Tossed up on middle and off, Hetmyer heaves it over long on for a maximum. He looks in the mood tonight. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: M Nabi to S Hetmyer, FOUR! Poor end to the over. Nabi bowls it on the pads, asking to be punished. Hetmyer says thank you very much and sweeps it through fine leg for a boundary. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: M Nabi to S Hetmyer, SIX! That was six the moment it left the bat. Off spinner which is short in length. It is on middle and leg, Hetmyer gets on his back foot and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. |
| 10.2: R Khan to S Hetmyer, SIX! Wrong 'un goes the distance for Rashid. It is on middle and off, Hetmyer gets on one knee and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: R Khan to S Hetmyer, SIX! Flighted on middle and leg, Hetmyer gets under the ball and demolishes it over mid-wicket for a biggie. Hetmyer gets his maiden Indian T20 league fifty with it. What a knock this has been from him. He is going out with a bang. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: B Thampi to Singh Mann, FOUR! Gurkeerat is getting into the act now. Back of a length ball on the body, Singh Mann pulls it through square leg for a boundary. |

| 12.4 : 12.4: B Kumar to S Hetmyer, SIX! Powerful shot from Hetmyer. Bouncer on middle, Hetmyer gets on his back foot and pulls it over mid-wicket. Manish Pandey in the deep runs to his right and gets to the ball to catch it but it goes through him for a maximum. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: R Khan to S Hetmyer, FOUR! BOOM! Full and wide outside off, Hetmyer blasts this wide of long off and gets a boundary! |
| 14.3 : 14.3: B Thampi to Singh Mann, FOUR! A rare bad ball, short and outside off, Gurkeerat pulls it wide of mid-wicket for a boundary. The crowd is on its feet now. It is getting something special to watch. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: B Thampi to Singh Mann, FOUR! Another bad ball and put away. Long hop, around middle, Gurkeerat swings and pulls it behind square leg! He moves to 41 from 34 balls and that is his 5th boundary. 47 more needed from 32 balls now. Bangalore on their way to a comfortable win... |
| 15.1 : 15.1: V Shankar to Singh Mann, FOUR! Terrible start for Shankar. Good length ball on the pads, Singh Mann whips it over square leg for a boundary. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: V Shankar to Singh Mann, FOUR! Fifty for Gurkeerat Singh Mann. What a knock this has been from him. He has been absolutely brilliant. Full ball outside off, Singh Mann squeezes it past point and gets a boundary to reach his second fifty in the League. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: V Shankar to Singh Mann, FOUR! Shorter in length, Singh Mann gets on top of the bounce and pulls it over mid-wicket. The ball bounces higher than the fielder in the deep predicted and it goes for a boundary. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: R Khan to Singh Mann, SIX! A flat one now. The crowd is absolutely loving it. Shorter on middle on, Gurkeerat gets on his back foot and flat bats it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: R Khan to S Hetmyer, SIX! This is ending pretty quickly! A short ball, around middle and leg, Hetmyer rocks back and pulls it over long on! |
| 17.4 : 17.4: R Khan to S Hetmyer, OUT! Caught! Hetmyer cannot quite finish it off. Outside off, short and turning away, it is the googly which spins away. The West Indian backs away and punches this powerfully over extra cover. But Vijay Shankar is stationed perfectly at the ropes and he takes it easily, but just inside the ropes. The Chinnaswamy gives a standing ovation to Hetmyer. What a knock. 75 from 47 balls. Took the wind out of Hyderabad's sails. Just 12 needed now, from 14 balls. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: K Ahmed to Singh Mann, OUT! Can this turn the tide of this game? Slower bouncer outside off, Gurkeerat Singh Mann looks to go over point but does not get the elevation. The ball goes straight to Yusuf Pathan who takes an easy catch. End of an excellent innings from Gurkeerat Singh Mann. But unfortunately he too cannot see his side home. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: K Ahmed to W Sundar, OUT! Slower delivery does the trick. Khaleel gets his second of the over. It is full on off, Sundar looks to go over mid on but does not time it. The ball goes high in the air and Manish Pandey moves backward from mid off and takes a good catch. 8 needed off 9. Surely Bangalore cannot lose it from here. Right? |
| 19.1 : 19.1: M Nabi to U Yadav, FOUR! That should be it. Flighted outside off Umesh smacks it through point for a boundary. Only 2 needed now. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: M Nabi to U Yadav, FOUR! That is it. He might have been villian in the eyes of many for the last over but he has taken his side home with the bat. Again full and flighted outside off, Umesh slashes it through cover and finishes the game. BANGALORE WIN BY 4 WICKETS. |
