| 0.0 : It is almost time for the 2nd game of Super Saturday. It is the southern derby here in Sharjah. Bangalore vs Hyderabad. One team is sitting at the 2nd spot on the points table and a win will take them through while the other one has to win both their games to stay in the contention of the playoffs. |
| Let's talk about Kohli's Bangalore first. They looked to be in top form but a slump came and now they are staring at a hat-trick of defeats. In their last game, they were taken down by Mumbai after failing to put a good score on the board, despite getting a decent start. With Mumbai's batting in full flow, it was always going to be tough and that's how it panned out. However, Bangalore will remember their first game of the tournament where they went past the challenge of Hyderabad to start their |
| What about Hyderabad? Well, they have been one of the most inconsistent sides of the tournament. They thumped Delhi in their last encounter and would be eager to take that confidence in this game as well. Both batting and bowling worked in tandem and managed to stay in the race to the playoffs. A defeat here will be curtains for Warner's men. Let's see how things pan out for them. Stay with us to find out the toss and team update. |
| TOSS - Time for the spin of the coin. Up it goes and it lands in David Warner's favor. Hyderabad will BOWL first. |
| Hyderabad (Playing XI) - David Warner (C), Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Abhishek Sharma (IN FOR VIJAY SHANKAR), Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan. |
| Bangalore (Playing XI) - Devdutt Padikkal, Josh Philippe (WK), Virat Kohli (C), AB de Villiers, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Navdeep Saini (IN FOR SHIVAM DUBE), Chris Morris, Washington Sundar, Isuru Udana (IN FOR DALE STEYN), Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal. |
| The captain of Hyderabad, David Warner, says that there is a single change as Vijay Shankar is out of this game due to injury and adds that Saha, fortunately, is fit for this game. Says that they need to have a positive attitude and come out fresh and they want to win both the games. Tells that is how he approches every game and he wants to do well. Says that they have played a single game in this ground and it seemed to have slowed down and they will need to see how things go. |
| Bangalore skipper, Virat Kohli, says he wanted to bat first anyway. Says that they think the wicket will get slower and slower. Informs that Navdeep Saini and Isuru Udana return to replace Shivam Dube and Dale Steyn. On their last game, Kohli says that it was an odd game. Feels that they did well to take the game till the end, defending the total. Adds that a collective performance is around the corner. |
| Right then! We are done with all the pre-match formalities as the action is about to begin! The umpires walk out into the middle. The players of Hyderabad walk out and take their respective positions out on the field. The openers of Bangalore, Josh Philippe and Devdutt Padikkal stride out into the middle. Sandeep Sharma will start proceedings with the ball for Hyderabad. Here we go... |
| 0.1 : Sandeep Sharma to Josh Philippe, Sandeep starts off with a good length delivery outside off, Philippe leaves this one alone. |
| 0.2 : Sandeep Sharma to Josh Philippe, Bangalore and Philippe are off the mark! On a good length around middle, Philippe tucks this to deep square leg for a single. |
| 0.3 : Sandeep Sharma to Devdutt Padikkal, Good length delivery around off, Padikkal pushes this to the man at point. |
| 0.4 : Sandeep Sharma to Devdutt Padikkal, PLAY AND A MISS! On a good length outside off, Padikkal thinks about blocking this out but he misses it altogether. |
| 0.5 : Sandeep Sharma to Devdutt Padikkal, Padikkal is off the mark as well! Good length delivery around off, Padikkal guides this to the third man region for a single. |
| 0.6 : Sandeep Sharma to Josh Philippe, A single to end the over! Good length delivery on middle, Philippe tucks this to the deep square leg area for a single. A tidy start by Sandeep. Just the 3 runs off this over. |
| Who will partner Sandeep Sharma from the other end? Jason Holder, it is. |
| 1.1 : Jason Holder to Josh Philippe, A length ball outside off to begin from Holder. Philippe lets it be. He actually wanted to play at first but opted against it in the end. |
| 1.2 : Jason Holder to Josh Philippe, Good stop from Rashid. Short and outside off, Philippe pulls it towards mid-wicket. Rashid makes a diving stop to his right but can't restrict them from taking the single. |
| 1.3 : Jason Holder to Devdutt Padikkal, Back of a length ball just outside off, Padikkal looks to pull but the ball goes to mid-wicket off the inner half. |
| 1.4 : Jason Holder to Devdutt Padikkal, Beaten! Nice shape away from the left-hander from Holder. It is pitched around leg and moves away as Padikkal pokes at it. |
| 1.5 : Jason Holder to Devdutt Padikkal, Fine shot for nothing. Short and just outside off, this time Padikkal gets on top of the bounce and punches it well but finds the backward point fielder. |
| 1.6 : Jason Holder to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Top way to end the over. First boundary of the game and it comes off the willow of Padikkal. A little bit of width and on a good length, Padikkal slaps it through mid off for a boundary. |
| 2.1 : Sandeep Sharma to Josh Philippe, EDGY! Good length and outside off, Philippe looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge that goes to short third man. |
| 2.2 : Sandeep Sharma to Josh Philippe, Around off on a good length, Philippe shuffles towards the off side and looks to defend but the ball hits the upper half and lobs uppishly towards the bowler. Drops well short in the end. |
| 2.3 : Sandeep Sharma to Josh Philippe, FOUR! Philippe finds the fence now. Good effort from the long on fielder but not good enough. A length ball just outside off, Philippe launches it over the bowler's head. The long on fielder runs to his left and tries to cut it off but fails to do so. First boundary for Philippe. |
| 2.4 : Sandeep Sharma to Josh Philippe, A single now as this one is pushed through mid on. |
| 2.5 : Sandeep Sharma to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! TIMBER! Sandeep strikes for Hyderabad. Padikkal fails to get going in this game for Bangalore. A length ball around middle and leg, Padikkal looks to swing it across the line but a little bit of inward movement means he fails to connect. The ball goes behind and shatters the stumps. This is not how Padikkal has played in this tournament. The in-form Bangalore batsman has been sent packing by Hyderabad. |
| The skipper of Bangalore, Virat Kohli walks out into the middle. |
| 2.6 : Sandeep Sharma to Virat Kohli, Dot to end a successful over from Sandeep. Short and around off, Kohli hops and keeps it out. |

| Jason Holder to Josh Philippe, Full and around off, forced through covers for one. |
| 3.2 : Jason Holder to Virat Kohli, Kohli is off the mark with a flick. Little too straight from Holder. Kohli uses his wrists and flicks it through square leg and scampers back for a couple. |
| 3.3 : Jason Holder to Virat Kohli, Short and outside off, Kohli looks to run it down towards third man but ends up chopping it towards point for a quick run. |
| 3.4 : Jason Holder to Josh Philippe, Very full and on the pads, Philippe looks to flick but misses to get hit on the shoes. The ball goes towards point and they take a leg bye. |
| 3.5 : Jason Holder to Virat Kohli, Shortish and just outside off, Kohli pushes it towards short third man where the fielder fumbles and allows a single. |
| 3.6 : Jason Holder to Josh Philippe, FOUR! Short and outside off, Philippe manages to slam it over the mid off fielder and finds the fence. Good end to the over for Bangalore. |
| 4.1 : Sandeep Sharma to Virat Kohli, Good length ball around off, Kohli jumps out of the crease and pushes it through mid on for a single. |
| 4.2 : Sandeep Sharma to Josh Philippe, One more single as this good length ball around off is forced down to long on. |
| 4.3 : Sandeep Sharma to Virat Kohli, A couple now. Shortish and outside off, Kohli punches it to the left of the cover fielder who dives that side and gets a hand to it. Two taken before the man at mid off can do the mop up work. |
| 4.4 : Sandeep Sharma to Virat Kohli, OUT! TAKEN! Kohli perishes now! And this is the 7th time that Sandeep has got better of Kohli in the Indian T20 League. Full and around off, right there where Kohli likes it and he often drills these through the covers but this time he ends up driving it straight into the hands of Kane Williamson at short cover. A massive, massive wicket. |
| AB de Villiers is the new batter in. |
| 4.5 : Sandeep Sharma to AB de Villiers, EDGY! Fuller and outside off, de Villiers looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge that goes to third man. A single. |

| 5.2 : T Natarajan to AB de Villiers, Another length ball around off, de Villiers plays it towards mid off. |
| 5.3 : T Natarajan to AB de Villiers, Three dots in a row. Length ball just around off, this one is angled away. ABD finds mid off again. |
| 5.4 : T Natarajan to AB de Villiers, Risky single! Had Warner picked the ball cleanly and hit, it would've been interesting. Length ball around off, de Villiers pushes it towards mid off again. This time he calls for the single. Warner hares at the ball but fails to pick it up. |
| 5.5 : T Natarajan to Josh Philippe, Play and a miss! Shortish and on middle, Philippe looks to pull but misses. Just 1 off the over so far. Can Natarajan finish it well? |
| 5.6 : T Natarajan to Josh Philippe, Yes, he can! Superb yorker on the last ball. Philippe can only block it back to the bowler. Just one from the last over of the Powerplay. |
| Shahbaz Nadeem will grip the ball now. |
| 6.1 : Shahbaz Nadeem to AB de Villiers, Flatter around off, de Villiers works this to the deep cover region for a single. |
| 6.2 : Shahbaz Nadeem to Josh Philippe, Short ball outside off, Philippe punches this one to long on for one. |
| 6.3 : Shahbaz Nadeem to AB de Villiers, Floated around middle, de Villiers plays this slightly uppish towards mid on. It lands safely and the batters collect a single. |
| 6.4 : Shahbaz Nadeem to Josh Philippe, FOUR! Swept and swept away fine! Welcome boundary for Bangalore. Loopy on middle, Philippe gets on his knees and sweeps this one over the man at short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 6.5 : Shahbaz Nadeem to Josh Philippe, Flatter around off, Philippe bunts this to the long on area for one. |
| 6.6 : Shahbaz Nadeem to AB de Villiers, DROPPED? Maybe. This was fiercely struck and it would be hard to catch this one. Floated on middle, de Villiers smacks this back towards the bowler and he does well to get low but he is not able to pouch this one. |
| 7.1 : Rashid Khan to Josh Philippe, Flatter around off, Philippe pushes this wide of long on to rotate the strike. |
| 7.2 : Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, EDGY! Floated on middle, de Villiers looks for the flick but he is early into the flick and it goes off his outside edge towards covers. |
| 7.3 : Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, PLAY AND A MISS! Flatter outside off, de Villiers looks to cut this one but misses. |
| 7.4 : Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, PLAY AND A MISS AGAIN! Short ball outside off, AB looks to work this towards point but he does not connect again. |
| 7.5 : Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, Brilliant bowling by Rashid! Another play and a miss! Floated around off, de Villiers looks to block this one out but misses. |
| 7.6 : Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, WIDE! Rashid slips this one down the leg side. Wided by the umpire. |
| Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, A couple to end the over. Floated around off, de Villiers plays this to the deep cover region and will collect two before the fielder can clean up in the deep. A very good start by Rashid. Just 4 runs. |

| 8.5 : Shahbaz Nadeem to Josh Philippe, Short ball on middle, Philippe swivels and pulls this one to deep square leg to add one more run. |
| 8.6 : Shahbaz Nadeem to AB de Villiers, Floated around off, de Villiers works this down the ground towards long off for one to retain the strike for the next over. |
| 0.0 : Bowling change. Rashid Khan is on now. |
| 8.6 : DRINKS! Just the start that Hyderabad would have wanted. They have got two dangerous batters of Bangalore back to the hut. They still have to deal with the very dangerous AB de Villiers. Bangalore, on the other hand, have the youngster Josh Philippe and also their AB out in the middle and will be banking on them to help them add some important runs at this stage. |
| 9.1 : Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, Little short and just around off, de Villiers pushes it down to sweeper cover for one. |
| 9.2 : Rashid Khan to Josh Philippe, Shortish and on middle, flicked to deep mid-wicket for a single. |
| 9.3 : Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, Short and around off again, it is cut to sweeper cover for one more run. |
| 9.4 : Rashid Khan to Josh Philippe, One more single. This time Philippe goes for the reverse sweep but fails to time it to his liking. It goes to short third man and they take a run. |
| 9.5 : Rashid Khan to AB de Villiers, FOUR! BANG! Dragged short and around off, de Villiers rocks back and thumps it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |

| 10.2 : Shahbaz Nadeem to AB de Villiers, SIX! HAMMERED! He cleared his intentions on the last ball and this time he manages to clear the fence. Flat and around off, de Villiers goes back and powers it over long on for a maximum. |
| 10.3 : Shahbaz Nadeem to AB de Villiers, A couple now! Short and around off, de Villiers pulls it wide of the man at mid-wicket. Rashid Khan gets to the ball on one bounce but they take two before the ball can get to the keeper. |

| 10.5 : Shahbaz Nadeem to Josh Philippe, Very full and outside off, it is squeezed down to sweeper cover for one. |
| 10.6 : Shahbaz Nadeem to AB de Villiers, OUT! TAKEN! Nadeem has the last laugh and he is delighted. Why wouldn't he be? He has got the massive wicket of dangerous de Villiers. Flatter and outside off, de Villiers looks to launch it over the deep point fielder but instead finds the man there. Abhishek Sharma is safe as house there. |
| Who walks out into the middle for Bangalore now? It is Washington Sundar. |
| 11.1 : Rashid Khan to Josh Philippe, SWING AND A MISS! Flatter outside off, Philippe looks to heave this away but he misses it completely. |
| 11.2 : Rashid Khan to Josh Philippe, PLAY AND A MISS! Short ball outside off, Philippe looks to go big over the off side but he misses this one altogether. Pressure building. |
| 11.3 : Rashid Khan to Josh Philippe, FIVE WIDES! Not the way that Bangalore wanted a boundary but they will take it! A googly down the leg side, Philippe looks to sweep but misses and Saha misses this one as well. It runs away to the fine leg fence for 5 wides. |
| Rashid Khan to Josh Philippe, Flatter around off, Philippe looks to work at this but he misses this one as well. |
| 11.4 : Rashid Khan to Josh Philippe, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Bangalore are reeling now! That is the fourth wicket of Bangalore's batting and it is Rashid Khan who has struck. Philippe was struggling and Rashid Khan gets his uncomfortable stay out in the middle to an end. Tossed up delivery around middle, Philippe gets on his knees and looks to go big towards the mid-wicket region but he does not time this one well. Manish Pandey runs to his left and does well to take this catc |
| 11.5 : Rashid Khan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Very full and outside off, driven well but straight to the fielder at cover. |
| 11.6 : Rashid Khan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Flat and outside off, it is pushed towards the point fielder for nothing. End of another successful over for Hyderabad. |

| 12.2 : Shahbaz Nadeem to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Short and around off, Gurkeerat tucks it through mid-wicket for a single. |

| 13.2 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, On a good length on off, Gurkeerat blocks this one out. |
| 13.3 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, PLAY AND A MISS! A slower back of a length delivery around off, Gurkeerat looks to push this one but he misses it altogether. |
| 13.4 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, On a good length around off, Mann punches this to deep cover for a single. Bangalore need some boundaries now. They have dried up for them. |
| 13.5 : T Natarajan to Washington Sundar, A low full toss around the pads, flicked away nicely towards fine leg to rotate the strike. |
| 13.6 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, A fullish length delivery around middle, Gurkeerat tucks this to the man at mid-wicket. Another over by Natarajan. Just 3 runs off this one. |
| DRINKS! Hyderabad are cruising at this stage. They have got rid of all the dangerous batters that Bangalore have and now Bangalore's lower middle order batting is out there, Gurkeerat and Washington. Hyderabad will be looking to scalp more wickets and they will want to restrict them to a low total. Bangalore, on the other hand, will be hoping that these two can stay until the end and they can give Bangalore a chance with the ball. |
| 14.1 : Jason Holder to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Short and wide outside off from Holder. Sundar gets the chance of freeing his arm. He does so and cuts it over the leaping Rashid at point for a boundary. |
| 14.2 : Jason Holder to Washington Sundar, Short and around off, this one is tapped to the right of Rashid for a single. |
| 14.3 : Jason Holder to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Fuller and on middle, Gurkeerat flicks but finds mid-wicket. |
| 14.4 : Jason Holder to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Full and on middle, flicked uppishly towards deep square leg for a single. It is short of the man there. Bangalore get a single in the end. |
| 14.5 : Jason Holder to Washington Sundar, Full and around off, pushed towards the cover fielder. |
| 14.6 : Jason Holder to Washington Sundar, Just a run on the last ball. 7 off the 15th over. Very full ball just outside off, Sundar blocks it towards point and keeps the strike for the next over. |
| 15.1 : Rashid Khan to Washington Sundar, Flatter and on middle, Sundar flicks it to deep mid-wicket for a single. |
| 0.0 : Rashid Khan is back on to bowl the final over of his spell. 3-0-18-1 are his figures so far. |
| 15.2 : Rashid Khan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, LBW shout but the umpire shakes his head. Looked to be going down. |
| 15.3 : Rashid Khan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Leading edge now! Flatter and around off, Gurkeerat looks to work it on the leg side but gets a leading edge towards point. |
| 15.4 : Rashid Khan to Washington Sundar, Flatter and around off, Sundar looks to work it on the leg side but it takes the outer half and goes towards the point fielder. Sundar wanted a single but is sent back. |
| 15.5 : Rashid Khan to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Lovely shot! Tossed up and outside off, Sundar lifts it over extra cover and finds the fence. |
| 15.6 : Rashid Khan to Washington Sundar, NOT OUT! The ball is clearly grounded, says the thrid umpire. Tossed up and outside off, Sundar once again looks to drill it through the covers. This time Pandey at covers dives to his right and takes the catch with one hand. But he is not too sure himself. The umpires converge and take it upstairs. The soft signal is not out. Replays show that the ball pooped out of his hand as he landed. Relief for Bangalore. |
| 15.5 : The third umpire has been called into play to check if this is a clean catch. The soft signal by the umpire is NOT OUT! It is the correct soft signal decision as the ball has clearly touched the ground. Washington Sundar stays on. |

| 16.3 : Sandeep Sharma to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, On a good length on middle, Gurkeerat flicks this one towards deep square leg and it bounces just before Rashid Khan in the deep. One more run. The lights seemed to disturb Rashid's vision. |
| 16.4 : Sandeep Sharma to Washington Sundar, A fullish length delivery around off, Sundar digs this out towards backward point for a quick single. |
| 16.5 : Sandeep Sharma to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Another full length delivery around off, Mann pushes it to the right of the pitch and takes the single. |
| 16.6 : Sandeep Sharma to Washington Sundar, A single to end the over as this full ball outside off is worked towards deep point. A good end to his spell by Sandeep. Just 7 runs. 4-0-20-2 for him on the night. |
| 17.1 : T Natarajan to Washington Sundar, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! That's a sharp, sharp take from Natarajan. That was hit really hard from Sundar. Change of pace from Natarajan.

| 17.4 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, FOUR! A chance put down. Another poor effort from Sandeep in the field. Full and around off, Mann looks to paddle this one but it comes off his bat's top edge and balloons towards the fine leg region. Sandeep runs in from short fine leg and backtracks looking to scalp this one but he spills this one and it crosses the ropes. It was a tough chance though and Sandeep put in a good effort. |
| 17.5 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Full and wide outside off, Gurkeerat lets it be. |
| 17.6 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Dot to end the over! Just the 5 off the over. Wide yorker outside off, Gurkeerat fails to squeeze it out. |

| 18.3 : Jason Holder to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Full and outside off, lofted over cover-point for one. |

| 19.1 : T Natarajan to Mohammed Siraj, Good running! Good length and just outside off, change of pace from Natarajan. Siraj swings hard but fails to connect. Gurkeerat though sneaks a bye as the ball goes to Saha on the bounce. |
| 19.2 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Swing and a miss! Good length and outside off, Gurkeerat swings really hard but makes no connection. |
| 18.4 : Jason Holder to Isuru Udana, OUT! CAUGHT! Second wicket in the over. Udana falls for a golden duck. Holder gets the second wicket. Full and outside off, Udana looks to lift it over covers but ends up slicing it just behind point. Williamson settles under it and takes the catch easily. |
| 19.3 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, A dot! Full and around off, Gurkeerat looks to ramp it through fine leg but gets an inside edge on the pads. The ball goes to short fine leg and Gurkeerat denies the single. |
| 19.4 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Full and outside off, Gurkeerat can only squeeze it down to deep cover for just a run. |
| 19.5 : T Natarajan to Mohammed Siraj, Full and around off, Siraj strokes it towards extra cover and takes a single. |
| 19.6 : T Natarajan to Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Just a run! Terrific last over. Just 4 off it. Full and around middle, Gurkeerat looks to reverse sweep but misses to get hit on the pad. The ball rolls towards the leg side and they take a leg bye. 11/1 in his 4 overs for Natarajan. Bangalore finish with 120/7. |
| This has been a brilliant show with the ball for Hyderabad! The Men in Orange will be proud of how they have bundled this Bangalore batting line up for just 120 on the board. The batters of Bangalore tried their best to add some more runs towards the end but they were not able to and Hyderabad have finished things up on a high. |
| The batting by Bangalore started off on the back foot as they lost Padikkal and Virat Kohli right in the Powerplay. AB de Villiers and Josh Philippe tried to revive the batting with a partnership but it did not last long and they both fell in quick succession. Sundar and Mann tried to add some more runs towards the end but Bangalore will feel that they are atleast 30-40 runs short of a par score. Not the best showing with the bat by Bangalore. |
| The bowling by Hyderabad was brilliant throughout. Sandeep Sharma started things off for Hyderabad and they did not look back after that. He got rid of Padikkal and Kohli in the Powerplay. All the five bowlers got a wicket but it was Natarajan and Sandeep who were the pick of the lot and they both picked up 2 wickets. |
| The total is not a huge one by Bangalore but they will be looking to bowl well and apply some pressure early on. They will have to bowl really well if they want to win this game. Hyderabad need to win this game to stay alive in the tournament and they will want to come out and chase this down. An interesting second essay of play awaits. Join us for the chase in a bit. |
| Sandeep Sharma is caught for a quick chat. Tells that he didn't know about the fact that he has taken the wicket of Kohli 7 times. Says that he is one of the best batsman and it feels really well to get his wicket. Tells that he is working hard on bowling the outswingers. Says that the knuckle ball is coming off well too. Adds that he has been working on that ball for more than 3 years now. Feels that the ball is getting wet a bit now as the dew is starting to come. |
