Match Commentary
19:18 IST, 13:48 GMT:
Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, SIX, first win of the season for KKR! Banged in short and Rinku swivels to hook it over fine leg. Goes all the way. Fifty for Rinku Singh as well
Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, no run, length ball, Rinku bends his back leg to swing across the line and misses to get hit on the pad. Anukul Roy is almost halfway down the pitch, gets sent back
Just 1 needed now and the field comes in. Just two men in the deep (deep backward square-leg and third man)
Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, FOUR, slow, full and outside off, Rinku stays leg-side and belts it through extra cover. Bullets away to the fence
Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, FOUR, boundary to start the over! Off-speed short of length ball outside leg, Rinku waits and swivels to pull it behind square on the leg-side
Right then, KKR need 9 runs off the final over to register their first win of this season. Brijesh Sharma to bowl it
Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, 2 runs, low full toss, Anukul swings hard and miscues towards the mid-off region. Rinku runs hard and comfortably comes back for the second. 12 runs off the over
11 needed off 7!
Jofra Archer to Rinku Singh, 1 run, in the blockhole from round the wicket, Rinku opens the bat-face to send it through point for another single
12 needed off 8! Parag has a word with Jofra
Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, 1 run, nails the yorker on this occasion does Jofra and Anukul squeezes it to deep point
Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, SIX, Jofra misses his mark and that's been dispatched. Didn't miss by a long way though. Anukul knows that it's going to be very full. Stays deep, clears his front leg and thumps it over long-off. Good strike. Right off the meat of the bat
Jofra Archer to Rinku Singh, 1 run, 146.3kph, yorker length, Rinku drives hard and jams it along the ground to long-on
Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, 1 run, over the wicket, very full and on the stumps, on-pace, Anukul makes room to drive hard and Parag makes a tumbling stop to his left at mid-off
Equation: 21 runs | 2 overs.
Brijesh Sharma to Anukul Roy, 1 run, very full, Anukul can't get under it and drills it to long-off. Just 7 runs off the over
Brijesh Sharma to Anukul Roy, FOUR, edge and four! Pacy length ball, Anukul clears his front leg to swing across the line. Gets an inside-edge onto his thigh and the ball dribbles away to third man for four
Rinku continues to have a chat with Kumar Dharmasena
Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, 1 run, Rinku backs away to whip this full toss to deep square leg
Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, no run, 108.1kph, slow, into the deck and down leg. Rinku walks across to pul and gets a faint under-edge that foes to the keeper on the bounce
Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, wide, slower ball bouncer, too short and too wide outside off. This one is definitely a wide
Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, no run, Rinku gets down low to slog it away and misses this full ball. Rinku is angry that it's not wided. He signals T but KKR have lost both their reviews. It was actually the right call from the ump as it was pretty close to the leg-stump and Rinku had shuffled as well
Brijesh Sharma to Rinku Singh, no run, Rinku walks across and lets this short of a good length ball go through to the keeper as the line is down leg. Not wided by Kumar Dharmasena as the batter moved across
Brijesh Sharma, right-arm medium, comes into the attack
Equation: 28 runs | 3 overs.
Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, no run, bouncer outside off, Anukul Roy looks to play the upper-cut and misses. Wide not given and KKR review it. This is touch-and-go. Let's see what the technology says. Head height - 1.79m, ball height is 1.77m. So, it's a fair delivery. KKR have lost both their reviews now
DRS!
Jofra Archer to Rinku Singh, 1 run, full toss and Jofra gets away as Rinku just knocks it down to long-on for a single
Jofra Archer to Anukul Roy, 1 run, yorker length on middle-leg, flicked to deep midwicket
Jofra Archer to Rinku Singh, 1 run, length ball outside off, Rinku walks across and opens the bat-face to steer it to deep backward point
Jofra Archer to Rinku Singh, FOUR, long-off moved to mid-off just before the ball. Jofra bowls full, Rinku shuffles across and plays an aerial drive right into the gap between mid-off and cover. Pressure on Jofra now!
Jofra Archer to Rinku Singh, wide, spears in a yorker down leg. Even though Rinku shuffled, the line was well down leg
Jofra Archer to Rinku Singh, FOUR, good start to the over for KKR! Short ball from round the wicket, Rinku gets inside the line, waits for the slower ball and hooks it over short fine leg. One bounce and into the fence
Jofra Archer [2.0-0-11-1] is back into the attack
Equation: 40 runs | 4 overs. It's probably going to be the two foreign pacers to bowl the last 4 overs
Ravi Bishnoi to Anukul Roy, SIX, six to start the over and six to end the over. 19 runs off the over. Full and outside off, allows Anukul to free his arms and that's been bludgeoned over deep extra cover with a good swing of the willow
Ravi Bishnoi to Rinku Singh, 1 run, quick and on the pads, Rinku clips through midwicket
Ravi Bishnoi to Anukul Roy, 1 run, fullish googly outside off, Anukul reaches for it to slap-drive it to deep point
Ravi Bishnoi to Anukul Roy, wide, flighted delivery, full and down leg, second wide of the over
Ravi Bishnoi to Anukul Roy, 2 runs, cut to deep extra cover
Ravi Bishnoi to Rinku Singh, leg byes, 1 run, quick again, leg-lined at 104.9kph, Rinku swings across the line and misses. The ball rolls towards short fine off his body
Ravi Bishnoi to Rinku Singh, 1 run, quick again
Ravi Bishnoi to Rinku Singh, wide, short of length down leg, left alone
Bishnoi to Rinku Singh, SIX, full and in the slot. Rinku is down on one leg to nail the slogsweep over deep midwicket
Ravi Bishnoi [3.0-0-23-1] is back into the attack
Timeout! The spinners picked four wickets in the middle overs to keep a tight lid on the scoring rate. Although not fluent, Rinku has got a start and as long he's out in the middle, KKR will believe they have a chance. Equation: 59 runs | 5 overs.
Riyan Parag to Anukul Roy, 2 runs, 86.8kph, Anukul moves leg-side to go inside-out and miscues. Donovan Ferreira runs in from long-off and puts in the dive but it falls short of him. Excellent effort but the batters take two
Riyan Parag to Rinku Singh, 1 run, leg-lined, Rinku nudges this length ball to short fine leg
