| 0.1 : 0.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Nitish Rana, FOUR! That is an excellent way to get off the mark! However, Rana played that with no real foot movement. Kumar goes full, he looks for some swing but there ain't any. It is a half volley outside off. Rana creams it through covers. Boundary. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Sandeep Sharma to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Inside edge and a boundary! A fortunate boundary but Rana won't care! He too steps out. The length is shortened and it is on middle, Rana looks to heave it across the line but gets an inside edge. It goes off the inside edge past the leg pole and down to the fine leg fence. Second boundary for Rana. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Sandeep Sharma to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Smacked! Up and over! That was right off the middle. A slot ball. Full and on off, Rana lofts it over mid off. Races away to the fence. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Shubman Gill, FOUR! That is glorious! Just used the pace of the bowler. Let the ball come to him, this one is on the pads. He works it through mid-wicket. Another boundary. Kolkata scoring their runs in boundaries. |
| 3.1: Sandeep Sharma to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Lovely from Rana! That is a wonderful shot. This is full and outside off. A slower one. Rana waits for it and then lofts it over the cover fielder. Goes for a one-bounce boundary. Another over which starts with a boundary. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Sandeep Sharma to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Sharma is leaking runs here! Rana is on the charge! He steps out and makes room. This is on a length, it is slapped through covers for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Sandeep Sharma to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Innovation at its best! That was premeditated and it was executed brilliantly! There is no one in the deep on the leg side. Rana goes down on one knee and drags this from outside off, over square leg for the third boundary in a row. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: T Natarajan to Shubman Gill, SIX! That is some shot! Some shot, have to say! Welcome into the attack, Natarajan! This is fuller and on middle, Gill shows the full face of the bat and lofts it well over the long on fence. Bowler under pressure. Not a good start by him. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: T Natarajan to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Dragged away! This is angled into the middle pole, Rana hits it over mid-wicket. Gets the bottom hand in use and bags a boundary. It was not off the middle but got the result he wanted. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Mohammad Nabi to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Good shot! Flighted delivery on middle, Rana plays a paddle sweep towards fine leg for a boundary. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Rashid Khan to Shubman Gill, OUT! BOWLED! Khan gets his first wicket! Googly on middle, Gill looks to play the slog sweep but misses it and gets bowled. He missed it completely. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Mohammad Nabi to Rahul Tripathi, SIX! That is huge! Wow! He just walked out to bat but has nailed that one. It is slightly fuller and around off, Tripathi lofts it high and well over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Vijay Shankar to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! That is smashed! Short again on middle, Tripathi pulls it over square leg for a boundary. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Vijay Shankar to Nitish Rana, SIX! 50 for Nitish Rana! It has been a solid innings from him. Short delivery on middle, Rana pulls it over square leg for a maximum. |
| 10.6: T Natarajan to Nitish Rana, SIX! Rana is on fire here! The last ball spoils the over completely! This is short and on the body, Rana swivels and pulls it well over the fine leg fence for a biggie. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Mohammad Nabi to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! 10 from the last two balls then! Tripathi gets into the act! This is down the leg side. Rahul sweeps it through backward square leg and it races away. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Mohammad Nabi to Nitish Rana, SIX! That is huge! It is the shorter side but it has gone all the way! The slog sweep, it is on middle, Rana connects and does so nicely. It goes over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Rashid Khan to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! What a shot! Tossed up delivery on middle, Tripathi lofts it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Sandeep Sharma to Nitish Rana, SIX! Over the fence! A full toss, a gift and Rana hits it over the stand! He gets down on one knee and then hits it well over the square leg fence. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Nitish Rana, FOUR! That is timed beautifully! Kumar is also welcomed into the attack with a boundary! It is a slower one, shorter and outside off, Rana cuts it through point for a boundary. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Rahul Tripathi, SIX! This is out of here! That is colossal! Not sure the length is right from Kumar. It is a hit-me ball. Comes onto the bat nicely. Tripathi hammers it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! Showed power on the last ball and now a deft touch! This is a slower one outside off, Tripathi waits for it and then plays it fine on the off side. Third man is in the ring so it is another boundary. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! Fifty for Rahul Thirpati! Gets there in a streaky manner but he won't care. It has been a slod innings from him so far. Length and outside off, Rahul throws his bat at it, it goes off the outside edge and fine past the fielder at short third man. Another boundary. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: T Natarajan to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! CAUGHT! Natarajan breaks the partnership! Slower delivery on middle, Tripathi looks to slog it but gets a top edge. It goes towards the keeper where Saha takes the catch in the second attempt. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: T Natarajan to Andre Russell, FOUR! Good shot! Full delivery on leg, Russell flicks it towards fine leg for a boundary. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Rashid Khan to Andre Russell, OUT! TAKEN! That is some catch from Manish Pandey and he had to hang onto it because it was of Russell. Rashid Khan was got on to get the big West Indian and he does get him. This is fuller and on middle, Russell looks to power it down the ground but fails to get the desired elevation. It goes flat and low to the left of Pandey at long on who runs there, dives forward and takes it inches above the ground. Hyderabad can keep Kolkata under 200 now. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Mohammad Nabi to Eoin Morgan, OUT! CAUGHT! Nabi gets two-in-two! Floated delivery on middle, Morgan sweeps it over square leg but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards the fielder where Abdul Samad takes a good catch in the deep. |

| 18.5 : 18.5: T Natarajan to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! That is a welcome boundary! Really nicely played! Fuller and on middle, that was quite full. Karthik does really well to get under it and loft it down the ground towards the long off fence. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dinesh Karthik, SIX! That made a cracking sound off the bat! Kumar has not been at his best here! He bowls a slot ball, outside off. Karthik shuffles across and plays the sweep shot. Over the square leg fence. Excellent start for Kolkata. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! Top edge and a boundary! Fortunate boundary! This is slightly short and outside off, Karthik looks to pull but gets a top edge. It goes over the keeper and into the fence. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT! TAKEN! That is another very good catch by Samad! This is a slower one, it is outside off. Hasan is early in the stroke. He ends up hitting it up in the air. Samad at mid-wicket has a lot of work to do. He runs back and then stretches both his hands and hangs onto it. Lovely catch. A wicket to end but a very good last over for Kolkata! 16 runs from it and THEY END WITH 187! |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Harbhajan Singh to Wriddhiman Saha, SIX! That is smashed! Tossed up delivery on off, Saha lofts it over covers for a maximum. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Prasidh Krishna to David Warner, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Krishna gets his first wicket! Good length delivery on off, Warner looks to flick but gets an outside edge. It goes towards the keeper where Karthik takes a comfortable catch. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Shakib Al Hasan to Wriddhiman Saha, OUT! DRAGS IT ON! Both the openers back in the hut and Hyderabad are off to the worst start possible! Shakib has made an impact straightaway in his first game on return. Just the one ball and it is an important wicket of Saha who is a really good player of spin. This is slightly shorter in length, it is slightly outside off. Saha looks to push at it but there is not enough width to play that shot. An inside edge which hits the stumps. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Shakib Al Hasan to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! That is beautiful! Show Saha play one eariler on and now Bairstow does. He makes room and Shakib bowls it full and on middle, Jonny lofts it over the cover fence for a biggie. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Shakib Al Hasan to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Over the mid on fielder! Excellent use of the feet! Pandey comes down the track, gets to the pitch of it and lofts it over the mid on fielder for another boundary. This is a good over for Hyderabad. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Shakib Al Hasan to Manish Pandey, SIX! Clean hit! Welcome biggie! Pandey has been nimble on his feet, once again is. Gets to the pitch of the ball and hits it well over the long off fence. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Andre Russell to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! These are handy runs, fortunate yes but handy! A good sharp bumper. It hurried Bairstow who is late in the pull. It goes off the top edge and over the keeper for a boundary. Good start to the over. Need to make this count now. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Andre Russell to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! That has been nailed! Wow! Just wow! What a shot that is! It is shorter and on middle, Bairstow this time was waiting for it. He smacks it over the square leg fence for a biggie. 10 from the first three balls now. 50 up for Hyderabad. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Andre Russell to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! 4,0,6,0,4 in this over so far! This too is hammered! It is a nothing delivery, it is a slower one on a length. Sits up to be hit. Bairstow hammers it through mid-wicket. No chance of stopping that. |

| 9.5 : 9.5: Varun Chakaravarthy to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Cracking shot! Short ball outside off, Bairstow makes room and cuts it hard through point for a boundary. |

| 10.4 : 10.4: Prasidh Krishna to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Nicely played! Short delivery on off, Bairstow plays an upper cut over the keeper's head towards third man for a boundary. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Varun Chakaravarthy to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! Fifty up and in style! It has been a superb innings and under pressure. What a way to start the tournament from him. He has been picked over Williamson and has done brilliantly. Gets back this short ball quickly and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Pat Cummins to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! CAUGHT! Cummins gets the dangerous Bairstow! Short and outside off, Bairstow cuts it uppishly towards point where Nitish Rana takes a good catch. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Shakib Al Hasan to Manish Pandey, SIX! That is tonked! Shakib probably was worried about Pandey coming down the track and bangs it short. Pandey hangs back and pulls it powerfully over the square leg fence. That releases the pressure somewhat! |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Prasidh Krishna to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR! Boundaries will and they need more of this! Fuller and on off, Nabi slams it down the ground and it races away to the fence. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Prasidh Krishna to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR! Just short! That blow has certainly not rattled Nabi! This is right in the slot. It is full and outside off. Nabi lofts it over the covers and bags a vital boundary. Can he end the over with one more? |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Prasidh Krishna to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! The extra ball has got Kolkata a wicket! Just what they needed and it is of the dangerous Nabi. 57 needed in 24. It is a slower one, beautifully bowled. Fuller and outside off. Nabi does wait and then go to hit it but ends up splicing it towards cover where Morgan takes a good catch. The game now getting tough for Hyedrabad. |
| 16.6: Varun Chakaravarthy to Vijay Shankar, SIX! That is hammered! Short again on middle, Shankar pulls it over mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep jumps and tries to go for the catch but it goes over him for a biggie. |
| 17.6: Andre Russell to Vijay Shankar, OUT! TAKEN! This is an outstanding over from Shankar! One which has probably won the for his side. Just the 6 runs and a wicket from it. This is full and outside off. Shankar looks to loft it over the off side but he too ends up splicing it towards the man there. Morgan moves to his left and takes it. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Pat Cummins to Abdul Samad, SIX! That is clobbered! Short ball again on middle, Samad pulls it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Pat Cummins to Abdul Samad, SIX! That is powered! Full again on middle, Samad lofts it over long on for a maximum. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Andre Russell to Manish Pandey, SIX! Over the ropes but this one won't matter! Too little, too late! A slower one on middle, Pandey slams it over mid-wicket. A biggie to end but it is KOLKATA WHO WIN BY 10 RUNS! |
