| Hyderabad Playing XI - Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Martin Guptill, Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson (C), Vijay Shankar, Yusuf Pathan (IN for Abhishek Sharma), Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Basil Thampi. |

| We are all set to begin. The umpires walk out to the middle. Bangalore are in a hurdle before the players take their fielding position. Martin Guptill and Wriddhiman Saha are the openers for Hyderabad. Umesh Yadav to start off proceedings. Saha to face. Here we go... |
| 0.1 : U Yadav to W Saha, Umesh starts with a good length delivery on middle. It swings slightly away from Saha. He though does well to tuck it towards mid-wicket and get the Hyderabad scoreboard underway straightaway with a single. |
| 0.2 : U Yadav to M Guptill, Length ball on off, Guptill taps it to covers and shouts a loud no to his partner. |
| 0.3 : U Yadav to M Guptill, Just outside off, Guptill defends it with soft hands towards backward point and looks for a quick single but is sent back by Saha. The fielder has a shy at the keeper's end but misses. |
| 0.4 : U Yadav to M Guptill, Length ball on the pads, Guptill looks to flick but gets hit high on the thigh pad. |
| 0.5 : U Yadav to M Guptill, Full on middle and leg, Guptill strokes it to mid on and looks for a single but once again Saha sends him back. |
| 0.6 : U Yadav to M Guptill, End of a tight over. Back of a length ball around off, Guptill taps it to third man and gets off the mark. |
| Navdeep Saini to bowl from the other end. |
| 1.1 : N Saini to M Guptill, He starts with a full length delivery just outside off, the ball comes in after hitting the deck. Guptill looks to hit it straight but gets an inside edge onto the pads. |
| 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 : 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. |
| STAT ALERT - This is the 21st consecutive Indian T20 League match that the team winning the toss has chosen to bowl first at the Chinnaswamy, a run that goes back to Bangalore's first match there in the 2017 tournament. |
| 1.4 : N Saini to M Guptill, FOUR OVERTHROWS! Free runs for Hyderabad. Good length ball on the body, Guptill runs it down towards short third man and takes a quick single. Kohli gets to the ball and has an unnecessary shy at the bowler's end. The throw is wide of Khejroliya who is behind the stumps and his dive cannot stop it. Khejroliya is also at fault there though as he was going with the bowler and he was not right behind the stumps. |
| 1.5 : N Saini to W Saha, Full and outside off, swinging in, Saha looks to swing but gets a thick inside edge onto his pads. The ball rolls behind towards first slip. |
| 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 : 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! |
| 2.2 : U Yadav to M Guptill, A bouncer to check Guppy's footwork now, bowls a bouncer and the Kiwi ducks. |
| 2.3 : U Yadav to M Guptill, Outside off, Guppy taps it towards the slip cordon and by the time Parthiv gets to the ball, a single is stolen. |
| 2.4 : U Yadav to W Saha, DROPPED! Chahal is the culprit. A short ball, around middle, Saha swivels and pulls it nicely but it goes straight to Yuzvendra Chahal at deep square leg. He comes in, goes for the catch but cannot quite hang on. A single taken. |
| 2.5 : U Yadav to M Guptill, HUGE SHOUT FOR A CATCH! Turned down by the umpire. Nothing from anyone else. No review taken. A short ball, around middle, Martin goes for the pull but misses. Parthiv collects and appeals but the umpire is unmoved. Did not look like there was a nick. |
| 2.6 : U Yadav to M Guptill, Full and around off, swinging in, MG swings it towards mid on. |
| Yuzvendra Chahal is into the attack now. |
| 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 : 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 : 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. |
| 3.4 : Y Chahal to W Saha, On the pads, Saha flicks it to the on side for a single. |
| 3.5 : Y Chahal to M Guptill, Floated on middle, Guptill looks to defend but gets an inside edge which goes towards square leg for a single. |
| 3.6 : Y Chahal to W Saha, Shorter on middle and off, Saha guides it to third man and gets a single. |
| Navdeep Saini into the attack. |
| 4.1 : N Saini to W Saha, Length ball on the pads, Saha looks to flick it but it goes off the pads. Leg bye taken. |
| 4.2 : N Saini to M Guptill, Good length ball on off, Guptill defends it towards point and gets a single. |
| 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. |
| Manish Pandey is the next batsman in. |
| 4.4 : N Saini to M Pandey, Full and outside off, Pandey pushes it towards mid off and takes a quick single. He had to run around the bowler and it would have been tight had the fielder thrown it at the stumps but he did not collect it at all. |
| 4.5 : N Saini to M Guptill, Outside off, played straight to point. |
| 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. |
| 5.1 : Y Chahal to M Pandey, Shorter on middle and leg, Pandey gets on the back foot and hits it to cover. |
| 5.2 : Y Chahal to M Pandey, That was close! Floated delivery on leg, Pandey looks to play it straight but gets an inside edge onto the pads. The ball then rolls just away from the off stump. Parthiv Patel who was moving to his left behind the stumps, dives to his right and looks to guide the ball to the stumps but the ball misses the stumps there as well. Replays later on shows that had Parthiv hit it, Manish would still be in. |
| 5.3 : Y Chahal to M Pandey, Shorter on middle and leg, Pandey looks to hit it off his back foot but gets an inside edge onto the pads. |
| STAT ALERT - The critical number for Hyderabad during the Powerplay is 55. Whenever they have scored above 55, they have won 86 percent of their matches (6/7). Whenever it's under that, they HAVE NOT WON A SINGLE MATCH. |
| 5.4 : Y Chahal to M Pandey, Edge but safe. Tossed up outside off, Pandey looks to drive it but gets an outside edge which flies over the vacant slip region and they get a single. |
| 5.5 : Y Chahal to M Guptill, On the pads, Guptill flicks it to the man at mid-wicket. |
| 5.6 : Y Chahal to M Guptill, Tossed up on off, Guptill looks to play it across the line but gets a leading edge which falls in no man's land at point. |
| STRATEGIC BREAK. It was a late call but Bangalore have decided to go for the break. Probably the right call, with Guptill going big guns. It has been an okay start for the visitors but they will need to keep on scoring. |
| Kulwant Khejroliya to bowl. |
| 6.1 : K Khejroliya to M Pandey, FOUR! CLASSY! Full and outside off, Pandey leans and drives it through the covers for a boundary! |
| 6.2 : K Khejroliya to M Pandey, Outside off, dabbed straight to point. |
| 6.3 : K Khejroliya to M Pandey, Nicely done. Works it like a Nataraja shot through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 6.4 : K Khejroliya to M Guptill, Around off, solidly defended. |
| 6.5 : K Khejroliya to M Guptill, A short ball, pulled to deep mid-wicket for a run. |
| 6.6 : K Khejroliya to M Pandey, Outside off, dabbed to third man for one. |
| Washington Sundar into the attack now. |
| 7.1 : W Sundar to M Pandey, Full and outside off, Pandey works it through square leg for a single. |
| 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. |
| Skipper Kane Williamson walks in at number 4, replacing Guptill. |
| 7.3 : W Sundar to K Williamson, Full and outside off, pushed down to long on for a run. |
| 7.4 : W Sundar to M Pandey, Full and outside off, flicked towards short mid-wicket. |
| Is that a catch? Shimron Hetmyer has taken a blinder. Or he claims to have taken one. It was a pull shot towards deep mid-wicket and Hetmyer seems to have taken it nicely underneath his fingers. The soft signal is out. More replays are being seen and it seems like Shimron Hetmyer has the ball between the fingers and the ground. Does that mean he has grassed it? |
| 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 |
| Vijay Shankar is in at number 5, replacing Pandey. |
| 7.6 : W Sundar to K Williamson, Full and outside off, watchfully defended. |
| 8.1 : K Khejroliya to V Shankar, Outside off, punched straight to point. |
| 8.2 : K Khejroliya to V Shankar, The batsman rocks onto the back foot and punches the ball. |
| 8.3 : K Khejroliya to V Shankar, Outside off again, punched towards point where Kohli charges in quickly and makes a fine stop. |
| 8.4 : K Khejroliya to V Shankar, A bouncer, around middle, Shankar lets it go through. Looks at the square leg umpire, expecting a wide but does not get it. |
| 8.5 : K Khejroliya to V Shankar, Full and outside off, driven down to long off for a single. |
| 8.6 : K Khejroliya to K Williamson, Outside off, punched through the covers for one more. |
| 9.1 : W Sundar to K Williamson, Outside off, spinning in, Williamson jumps and punches it towards cover. |
| 9.2 : W Sundar to K Williamson, Works this straight to short mid-wicket. |
| 9.3 : W Sundar to K Williamson, Hops across and works it through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 9.4 : W Sundar to V Shankar, The batsman rocks onto the back foot and punches the ball. One run added to the total. |
| 9.5 : W Sundar to K Williamson, Works this through mid-wicket, calls for two and gets them easily. |
| 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! |
| Umesh Yadav comes back. 2-0-10-0 so far. |
| 10.1 : U Yadav to V Shankar, In the air... just wide! Heart-in-mouth moment for Shankar. Outside off, Vijay punches this uppishly, slightly wide of point and gets a single. |
| 10.2 : U Yadav to K Williamson, Full on middle, Williamson pushes this down to long on for a run. |
| 10.3 : U Yadav to V Shankar, The batsman has flicked the ball off his pads. The batsmen have run through for a single. |
| 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! |
| 10.5 : U Yadav to K Williamson, Outside off, Willy waits for the ball to come to him and dabs it late to third man for a run. |
| 10.6 : U Yadav to V Shankar, Dropped short outside off, Vijay looks to pull but misses. Probably the ball stayed low. |
| Yuzvendra Chahal returns. 2-0-16-0 so far. |
| 11.1 : Y Chahal to K Williamson, Outside off, Williamson looks to push but misses. |
| 11.2 : Y Chahal to K Williamson, Works this against the spin through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 11.3 : Y Chahal to V Shankar, The batsman has nudged the ball fine down the leg side. They pick up a single. |
| 11.4 : Y Chahal to K Williamson, Outside off, Williamson taps this towards point and sets off for a single. The fielder comes in quickly and Willy has to go back. |
| 11.5 : Y Chahal to K Williamson, Full on middle, flicked straight to short mid-wicket. |
| 11.6 : Y Chahal to K Williamson, Full and outside off, pushed straight to cover. |
| Colin de Grandhomme into the attack. |
| 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! |
| 12.2 : de Grandhomme to V Shankar, Rash shot. Probably Hyderabad have made up their mind to go after de Grandhomme. A short ball outside off, Vijay goes to punch this over cover but the ball skids on, generates extra bounce and goes off the top edge. Luckily for the batsman, it eludes backward point. A couple of runs taken. |
| 12.3 : de Grandhomme to V Shankar, Quietly takes the single with a flick to square leg this time. |
| 12.4 : de Grandhomme to K Williamson, Short and outside off, cut through point for a run. |
| 12.5 : de Grandhomme to V Shankar, Pushed to the cover region by the batsman. They pick up a single. |
| 12.6 : de Grandhomme to K Williamson, Punches this off the back foot for one more. |
| Washington Sundar is back on. 2-0-10-2 so far. |
| 13.1 : W Sundar to K Williamson, Full and outside off, pushed through the covers for a single. |
| 13.2 : W Sundar to V Shankar, The batsman has been hit on the pads as he tried to sweep that one. |
| 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 : 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 : 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. |
| Yusuf Pathan walks in at number 6, replacing Shankar. |
| 13.6 : W Sundar to K Williamson, Short and outside off, punched through cover-point for a run. 14 from the over but the wicket of Shankar as well. |
| Kulwant Khejroliya returns. 2-0-9-0 so far. |
| 14.1 : K Khejroliya to K Williamson, Outside off, a swing and a miss from Williamson. |
| 14.2 : K Khejroliya to K Williamson, DROPPED! Tough chance, but could prove costly. Full on middle, Williamson pushes this back to the bowler. Khejroliya tries to take it in his followthrough but he is going to his right while the ball comes to his left. Spills it. |
| 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! |
| 14.4 : K Khejroliya to K Williamson, Short ball now, pulled to deep mid-wicket for a single. |
| 14.5 : K Khejroliya to Y Pathan, WIDE. A short ball, way too high, Pathan lets it go. |
| K Khejroliya to Y Pathan, Drops this to the off side and scampers through for a single. |
| 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. |
| Chahal is back. |
| 15.1 : Y Chahal to Y Pathan, Around middle and leg, helped to the leg side for a single. |
| 15.2 : Y Chahal to K Williamson, WIDE. Fired down the leg side, flick shot missed. |
| Y Chahal to K Williamson, Outside off, punched through the covers for a run. |
| 15.3 : Y Chahal to Y Pathan, Around middle and off, worked through mid-wicket for a quick single. |
| 15.4 : Y Chahal to K Williamson, Outside off, chopped through the covers for one more. |
| 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... |
| STRATEGIC BREAK. To be honest, Pathan's wicket will not hurt Hyderabad much. Because that brings in Mohammad Nabi. But the visitors are losing their way. They are looking good to get to 170 at best, which might not be enough on this surface. Nabi and Rashid might be required to use the long handle... |
| Nabi walks in. |
| 15.6 : Y Chahal to K Williamson, Around off, worked through mid-wicket for one more. 6 runs and a wicket from the over, Chahal ends with figures of 4-0-24-1. |
| Navdeep Saini is back on. 2-0-25-1 so far. |
| 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. |
| 16.2 : N Saini to K Williamson, A short ball outside off, Williamson looks to flick but gets a thick inside edge onto his pads. The ball lobs in the air and Saini runs forward for the catch while Williamson looks for the single. The ball drops down safely and Kane also gets back in safely. |
| 16.3 : N Saini to K Williamson, The batsman drives this through the covers. They pick up a single. |
| STAT ALERT - Milestones reached today - 100 T20 wickets for Trent Boult, 150 T20 wickets for Ish Sodhi and 100 IPL wickets for Yuzvendra Chahal. |
| 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! |
| 16.5 : N Saini to M Nabi, The batsman has attempted to put bat on ball - but fails. |
| 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. |
| Rashid Khan is the new man in while Kulwant Khejroliya is back on. |
| 17.1 : K Khejroliya to R Khan, Outside off, guided uppishly down to third man for a single. |
| 17.2 : K Khejroliya to K Williamson, That ball has taken the inside edge of the batsman and thudded into his pads. They pick up a single. |
| 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. |
| Bhuvneshwar Kumar walks in at number 9, replacing Rashid. |
| 17.4 : K Khejroliya to K Williamson, Short and outside off, cut through point for a single. |
| 17.5 : K Khejroliya to B Kumar, The batsman defends it from within the crease. The batsmen have run through for a single. |
| 17.6 : K Khejroliya to K Williamson, Ends the over with a flick behind square leg for a run. 5 runs and a wicket from the over, decent returns for Khejroliya - 4-0-29-1. |
| 18.1 : N Saini to K Williamson, Short and outside off, slapped through cover for a single. Williamson hits his pads with his bat in frustration, after completing the single. This is a big loss in control from the visiting side and he knows it. Could well might be their final game of the tournament... |
| 18.2 : N Saini to B Kumar, Full and outside off, pushed through the covers for a run. |
| 18.3 : N Saini to K Williamson, Short and outside off, Kane hops and cuts it through the covers for one. |
| 18.4 : N Saini to B Kumar, Outside off, a slash and a miss. |
| 18.5 : N Saini to B Kumar, A length ball outside off, Bhuvi swings hard but gets a thick outside edge down to third man. A run taken. |
| 18.6 : N Saini to K Williamson, Outside off, steered towards third man for one more. A better over for Saini who has had an off night - 4-0-39-2. |
| Umesh Yadav to bowl the final over. 3-0-18-0 so far. |
| 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 : 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 : U Yadav to K Williamson, SIX! Into the crowd again! A short ball, outside off, Williamson goes back and pulls it over mid-wicket! |
| Kohli and Umesh chatting... |
| 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! |
| 19.5 : U Yadav to K Williamson, NO BALL! The over goes from bad to worse for Umesh. He oversteps and Williamson heaves this full ball through mid-wicket. Two runs taken and he awaits the Free Hit. Wait... replays show that Yadav has not overstepped! This is from the side angle. But from the umpire's angle, it looks like he landed on the line... |
| FREE HIT COMING UP! 4? 6? |
| U Yadav to K Williamson, Nothing on the Free Hit. Very full outside off, Kane swings hard and gets it towards deep mid-wicket for a single. |
| 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. |
| Wow. 6, 4, 6, 4, (no ball+2), 1 and 4. Has that last over taken the game away from Bangalore? They had the match in control till the 19th over but then Umesh trotted along... |
| The innings has been more or less about Kane Williamson, with the captain playing like MS Dhoni. Bid his time till the 19th over and then took on Umesh Yadav in the 20th. He finished on an unbeaten 70 from 43 balls, while Guptill, Saha and Shankar wasted their starts. The visiting side struggled on a sluggish surface but it seems like the track has got better for batting. |
| More or less a decent bowling performance from Bangalore. Till the last few overs. Chahal, Khejroliya and Sundar had the game under control but Saini had a rough evening while Umesh Yadav had a forgetful last over. Sundar was the pick of the bowlers with 3 scalps and here he is, talking to Kevin Pietersen... |
| Washington Sundar says he just wanted to bowl to his strength and did not want to do anything new. He tells us that the wicket was also on the slower side. On being asked if Chahal is the wicket-taker, Sundar says Chahal bowls in the Powerplay and it is good if he takes wickets as well. On being asked which one was his favorite wicket of the evening, Sundar answers Guptill and goes on to explain because he is a good batsman and he is a fan of his batting. On being asked about the fans, Sundar sa |
| 176 to win then. Dew on offer. Can Bangalore chase this down? Will Hyderabad's bowling step up tonight? Let us hope for a good chase... |
