| 0.6 : 0.6: Sheldon Cottrell to David Warner, FOUR! Excellent start for Hyderabad! 13 off the first over! Length ball around off, Warner looks to play but gets an outside edge which goes well away from the man at slip for a boundary. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! A gift for Bairstow to get off the mark! A nice gift wrapped full toss outside off, Bairstow crunches it through covers and gets a boundary. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Mohammed Shami to David Warner, FOUR! This time connects with his pull and gets a boundary! A half-tracker around off, Warner transfers his body weight on his back foot and pulls it well over the man at short mid-wicket for a boundary. |

| 3.3 : 3.3: Sheldon Cottrell to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Glorious from Bairstow! Length ball around off, Bairstow drives it right off the middle of his bat through covers for a boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Sheldon Cottrell to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Just over! Back of a length delivery on the body, Bairstow pulls it over Bishnoi who jumps at short fine leg but the ball goes over him in double quick time and goes away to the fence. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Mohammed Shami to David Warner, FOUR! Mistimed but good enough for Warner! Short ball on off, it is the heavy ball. Warner mistimes his pull but it is away from diving KL Rahul at mid on and goes to the fence. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Mohammed Shami to David Warner, FOUR! This is slammed! Shortish ball around off, Warner slams it over point and gets another boundary. He looks in the mood tonight. |
| 7.4: Ravi Bishnoi to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! Right off the middle. Excellent use of the feet! He gets to the pitch of the ball and tonks it over long on for a biggie. Putting the youngster under pressure straightaway. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Ravi Bishnoi to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Looks to throw it wide and outside off but ends bowling it a little too full and outside. Bread and butter stuff for Bairstow. He lofts it over covers and it races away to the fence. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Ravi Bishnoi to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! BANG! Bishnoi is under pressure here. 18 runs from the over. He overcompensates and bowls this one short and on the middle. Bairstow goes back and pulls it over mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to David Warner, SIX! Right in the arc and it goes all the way. Fuller and on middle, Warner clears his front leg and tonks it over the bowler's head for another biggie. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Glenn Maxwell to Jonny Bairstow, Powered! A very good effort from Mandeep Singh but that was hit way too hard! He stands tall and hits it through the line wide of mid off. Mandeep there runs to his left and dives, he only gets a hand to it but the ball bursts through and trickles to the fence. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Glenn Maxwell to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! KABOOM! Bairstow is in some flow! He is hitting it out of the park with ease! Yes, he is helped by some poor bowling. It is short and asking to be hit. Bairstow rocks back and sends it sailing over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Glenn Maxwell to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! Another huge one! This is down the ground! Fuller and on middle, Bairstow clears his front leg and tonks it well over the long on fence. Another huge over and Hyderabad are on course to bat Punjab out of the game here. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Mohammed Shami to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Slammed! Low full toss on off, Bairstow gets under it and hits it straight down the ground for a boundary! Jonny Bairstow is on now here in Dubai! |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! The Bairstow show continues! Tossed up on middle and off, Bairstow goes downtown and tonks it straight over the bowler's head for a biggie. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! It is raining sixes here! Short on middle and off, Bairstow gos on his back foot and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence for another half-a-dozen. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Ravi Bishnoi to David Warner, OUT! TAKEN! Stop the press, Punjab have broken through! Warner is out of here! A much-needed one but Warner has played his role. He played as the able foil to Bairstow and their mammoth stand has put Hyderabad in a comfortable position. He looks to play the slog sweep but does so against the turn. It is the googly on off. Warner looks to go over the mid-wicket fence but only manages to hit it high up in the air towards long on where Maxwell takes a good catch. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Ravi Bishnoi to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! It is not going down leg and the on-field call has to be overturned! Excellent review from Punjab and what an over this is from Bishnoi. He gets both the set batters and it is heartbreak for Bairstow as he walks back three short of a ton. It is the slider. It lands on leg and then straightens a touch. Bairstow looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal but it is turned down. The ball rolls towards short third man. Pandey wants a run but |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Arshdeep Singh to Manish Pandey, OUT! Caught and bowled! Soft dismissal! Hyderabad have lost 3 wickets in 7 balls. Golden Duck for Manish Pandey! This game is turning on its head! Slower ball bowled into the surface. Manish Pandey looks to turn it to the on side but ends up balloning it to the right of Arshdeep Singh who takes a simple catch. |
| 17.1: Ravi Bishnoi to Abdul Samad, DROPPED AND FOUR! How costly will this prove? Poor from Pooran, that had to be taken! Samad comes down the track and hits it flat and to the left of Pooran at long off. He runs there and looks to take it but the ball pops out and goes behind for a boundary. Just what Rahul did not want whent the momentum was shifting. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Ravi Bishnoi to Abdul Samad, OUT! TAKEN! Bishnoi gets his man! Samad does not last long. A short one and on middle. Samad looks to pull but is a touch early in the stroke. It goes off the toe-end towards deep mid-wicket. Arshadeep makes no mistake. Wickets is what Punjab need to stem the run flow and that is what they are doing at the moment. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Arshdeep Singh to Priyam Garg, OUT! Pooran makes no mistake this time and he is elated! A good catch this one. Arshadeep bowls this full and on middle, Garg looks to whip it over the long on fence. Once again the boundary is a little too long. Not a lot of power behind the shot. Pooran tracks back and takes it nicely. Good start to the penultimate over. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Arshdeep Singh to Abhishek Sharma, SiX! What a shot to get off the mark! He did not even look to hit that hard. It was just a push type shot. Fuller and on middle, Sharma shows the full face of the bat and pushes it uppishly straight down the ground. It goes all the way over the long on fence. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Arshdeep Singh to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR! 200 does look possible now! A shorter in length delivery outside off, Sharma stands tall and pulls it to the left of the long on fielder. He runs there but can't get to it. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Mohammed Shami to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Full toss and Williamson takes full toll of it. He lofts it over covers. No man in the deep and a boundary results. A boundary early on, just what Hyderabad would have wanted. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Mohammed Shami to Kane Williamson, SIX! A one-handed biggie! Wow! Williamson seemed like he was done in by the pace but still manages to hit it over the ropes. Fuller and on off, Williamson is a touch early in the stroke but still goes ahead with it. He gets it off the middle and it clears the long off fence. 11 from the first three balls. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Mohammed Shami to Kane Williamson, OUT! Sharma holes out! A low full toss on middle, not easy to clear the fence on such deliveries with the boundaries being so big. Sharma ends up clipping it uppishly towards deep mid-wicket. Maxwell runs in and takes a good catch diving forward. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Sandeep Sharma to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Lovely timing and placement! Good length ball around off and it moves away from him. Agarwal leans on his drive and hits it right off the middle through extra cover for a boundary. Did not look to hit it hard but just timed it to perfection. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Khaleel Ahmed to Mayank Agarwal, OUT! RUN OUT! Oh dear me! This is what Punjab did not want! Excellent fielding from Warner. His commitment and athleticism has made this wicket happen. Good length ball around off, Mayank Agarwal drives it to the left and away of extra cover. Warner runs behind it and then stops it with a dive. Mayank and Rahul finish the first one run and go for the second. They both come halfway dwn but Rahul then sees the ball has been stopped by Warner and changes his mi |
| 3.4 : 3.4: T Natarajan to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! First boundary for Prabhsimran and Punjab need more of these! On the pads, Prabhsimran lofts his flick over mid-wicket and gets a boundary. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Khaleel Ahmed to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! Unbelivable shot from Prabhsimran! Full around off, Prabhsimran lofts it over Warner at mid off and gets a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Khaleel Ahmed to Prabhsimran Singh, OUT! CAUGHT! The rub of the green going Hyderabad's way! This was not a shot you get out to because he absolutely middled it. Good length ball outside off, Prabhsimran Singh crunches his punch as it makes a cracking sound as it hits the bat. His shot though is uppish and straight to Priyam Garg at cover. He pouches it safely. Not easy as the ball was travelling like a bullet to him. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Khaleel Ahmed to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Crunching way to get off the mark! Full outside off, Pooran gets on his front foot and drives it deliciously through covers for a boundary. |
| 5.3: T Natarajan to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Picked up and it goes all the way! Angled into the pads, Pooran goes down on one knee and lofts it well over the square leg fence for a biggie. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: Abhishek Sharma to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Pooran is in some mood today! Takes on the left-arm spinner straightaway! This is full and in the arc. Pooran lofts it over the mid on fence for a biggie. Excellent start to the over. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: Abhishek Sharma to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Two in a row but this is right in the slot! Fuller and on middle, easy for Pooran. He lifts it over the long on fence for another biggie. 12 from the first two balls. Can they make this over a huge one? |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Abhishek Sharma to KL Rahul, OUT! TAKEN! Abhishek Sharma gets the big fish and he is over the moon! Brilliant from the youngster. He might be under so much of pressure after going for 13 from the first three balls but he has now got the skipper of Rahul. KL looks to contune the pressure on the yonng one as he tries to play the sweep. There is extra bounce and hence, the top edge. It goes towards Kane Williamson at deep square leg who makes no mistake. Punjab in real trouble now. However, on |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Abdul Samad to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Pooran is dealing in sixes! Right in the slot again. Full and outside off, Pooran lofts it well over the long off fence for a huge one. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: Abdul Samad to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! 10 runs from the first two balls! This is full again and outside off, Pooran hits it hard and to the right of the fielder at long off. He runs towards the ball and dives to push it back in but fails to do so. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Abdul Samad to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Make that 16 now! Excellent use of the feet this time. Gets to the pitch of it and tonks it well over the long on fence for a biggie. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Abdul Samad to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! The fifty comes up in style! Fastest in this year's Indian T20 League! That is also his 6th six so far. Brilliant from him. He needs to keep going though. It is full and in the slot again. It is lofted over the long off fence for a huge one. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Abdul Samad to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! 28 runs in the over with a ball to go! Samad drags his length back this time. pooran rocks back and pulls it hard. It goes just over the mid-wicket fence. Can he hit 5 in the over? |
| 10.4 : 10.4: T Natarajan to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! A little too straight and that is poor bowling with fine leg up. A full toss on the pads, it is worked past him and to the boundary. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: T Natarajan to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! Maxwell is indeed short! A run out is the last thing Punjab would have wanted! Maxwell's poor show in this edition continues. Also, Hyderabad will breathe a huge sigh of releif as they needed to break this stand. It is a full ball on off, Maxwell drives it to Garg at covers and takes off. PG has one stump to aim at and he hits. He is jumping around in celebration. Maxwell is already walking back but the umoire takes it upstairs. Replays show that Maxwell |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Rashid Khan to Mandeep Singh, OUT! BOWLED! Rashid does the trick with the googly. The best batters in the world have struggled to pick this Afghanistan spinners variation and Mandeep too has failed. It is the wrong 'un bowled at pace around off, Mandeep looks to defend but the ball goes right between his bat and pad to hit the stumps. Rashid is up in celebration so is the whole of Hyderabad. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Khaleel Ahmed to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Just short of the man at deep square leg. Length ball on off, Pooran pulls it. Samad at deep square leg comes in front and dives forward to take the catch but the ball falls in front of him and goes away to the fence. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Khaleel Ahmed to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Pooran keeping Punjab's hopes alive! Yorker around off, Pooran manages to squeeze it away from short third man and gets a boundary. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Khaleel Ahmed to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, OUT! So out is how it stays and Mujeeb walks back and takes the only review along with him. Not sure why he reviewed there when he was willingly walking back after the initiall referral. Coming to the ball now. It is a full one outside off, Mujeeb looks to jam it out but there is a noise as the ball passes the bal. Bairstow takes it and both the bowler and the keeper appeal. The umpire does not make any decision. He waits to see if Hyderabad review but th |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Rashid Khan to Mohammed Shami, OUT! LBW! Two in two for Rashid and he finishes with a double wicket maiden to finish with the figures of 4-1-3-12. Googly on off, Shami looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pad. The ball hits him on the pad. An appeal follows and the umpire has no qualms raising his finger. Shami looks around for a review but Punjab do not have any left. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Rashid Khan to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! GAME! SET! MATCH! - Hyderabad! The Afghan superstar does the trick and Warner's ploy to bowl his trump card to the left hander has paid its dividend. Short and spinning away from Nicholas Pooran. He punches it uppishly but straight to cover. Khaleel there makes no mistake and takes the catch and one can also say he takes the match. Did not understand the ploy not to take a single and once you get negative in this game it pays off badly and that |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Sandeep Sharma to Ravi Bishnoi, FOUR! Bishnoi did the job with the ball and he will try to do something with the bat as well. Full on middle and off, Bishnoi lofts it straight down the ground and gets a boundary. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: T Natarajan to Sheldon Cottrell, OUT! The sweet sound of Timber! First wicket for Natarajan in this innings! A perfect yorker on middle and off, it would trouble any top batsman so it is too good for a number 11. Cottrell is slow to get his bat down and Natarajan strikes. Just a wicket away are Hyderabad. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: T Natarajan to Arshdeep Singh, OUT! CAUGHT! That is it! Comprehensive win for Hyderabad and Natarajan finishes with two wickets. Full around off, Arshdeep hits it uppishly straight to Warner at mid off. Too safe a pair of hands to drop those. HYDERABAD WIN BY 69 RUNS! |
