38th Match

A six for a Super Over.

Kartik Tyagi to Mohammed Shami, SIX, we have a Super Over. Look at Rinku and Dwayne Bravo's faces. Also Watson's. Avesh is grinning from ear to ear.

A six for a Super Over.

7 off 2. Deep backward point and deep point back. Long-on, deep backward square-leg and deep mid-wicket back.

Kartik Tyagi to Mohammed Shami, no run, short of length and pace-on outside off, Mohammed Shami slashes and misses. A dot and Rahane has a chat with Kartik Tyagi who nods in agreement

Kartik Tyagi to Prince Yadav, byes, 1 run, slower-ball short of length and outside off, Prince Yadav shuffles across and looks to scoop, again Tim Seifert doesn't glove it clean. There was a chance of a run-out at the bowler's end, but Tyagi collects the ball and by then Prince was in. For LSG, it is Mohammed Shami who will be on strike

Prince Yadav, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, out Caught by Rinku Singh!! Rinku at deep backward square-leg has taken this. The move to bring in a deep backward square-leg has worked. This is a length delivery outside off, Himmat Singh shuffles across and heaves, hits it flat but doesn't have the power or timing, picks out Rinku who won't drop that. Relief for KKR and LSG have the opposite emotion. What a game we have here. It twists and turns. This was pace-on and it worked for Tyagi. Himmat Singh c Rinku Singh b Kartik Tyagi 19(10) [4s-2 6s-1]

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

8 off 4. Now there's a deep backward square-leg.

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, FOUR, the free-hit goes for four. This is a slower-ball short delivery and Himmat Singh picks it, he goes on the back foot and pulls to the vacant deep backward square-leg fence. Knew what Kartik Tyagi will bowl and was ready for it

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, no ball, 2 runs, another over the waist full-toss. It's called a no-ball. Kartik Tyagi with another full-toss, Himmat Singh gets forward to loft and it's caught by Powell at long-on. Won't matter as it's a free-hit. KKR review this. But will be a no-ball. The waist is at 1.01m, the ball is at 1.08m. So KKR lose the review. Abhishek Nayar wants Anukul to bowl. Bravo meanwhile wants the slower-ball into the wicket. Tyagi is off the bowling attack for bowling two beamers? No. The umpires have had a discussion and reckon that the 2nd high full-toss was not dangerous. So Tyagi to continue. Rahane and the team had a chat and they were ready to change the bowler. Not to be

Kartik Tyagi is asking long-off and long-on to be straighter.

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, no ball, the beamer and thankfully Himmat Singh is fine. That was Brett Lee-esque. It's right at the right bicep of Himmat who top-edges the pull to the top of the helmet. He is fine. As he shakes the blow off. A free-hit coming up as it's a no-ball. Rinku is furious as he gestures suggesting why not bowl the slower-ball. Kartik Tyagi wanted to bowl the yorker but it came out as a high full-toss

Kartik Tyagi is asking long-off and long-on to be straighter.

Kartik Tyagi to Mohammed Shami, byes, 1 run, Tim Seifert fumbles and he allows Himmat Singh to get back on strike. A slower-ball off-cutter on a length outside off, Mohammed Shami slashes and misses, bounces in front of Seifert

17 off the last over. Tyagi to bowl. Mohammed Shami has to give the strike back to Himmat.

Vaibhav Arora to Mohammed Shami, FOUR, Mohammed Shami gets into the act. Rahane is not happy with Vaibhav Arora. It's full and in the slot on off, Shami gets forward and lofts, nearly six, just falls in front of the cushions at long-off. Rinku was not near the ball

Vaibhav Arora to Mohammed Shami, wide, the wide yorker and it's wide of the tramline on the off-side, Mohammed Shami can't lay bat on ball, given as a wide

Mohammed Shami, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Vaibhav Arora to George Linde, out Caught by Rinku Singh!! Third catch for Rinku and that should be the end of LSG. Vaibhav Arora follows George Linde outside the leg-stump, full and slightly cramps him, he gets forward to loft and he has not got the elevation to clear long-on. Rinku accepts it with glee. Langer and Bharat Arun with glum faces in the LSG dugout. George Linde c Rinku Singh b Vaibhav Arora 8(4) [4s-2]

Vaibhav Arora to George Linde, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Rahane setting the field.

Varun Chakaravarthy to George Linde, FOUR, flat back of a length outside off, George Linde goes on the back foot and pulls, Ramandeep runs and tries to push it back from long-on. But the ball touches the cushions as he is outside them. That was bowled so quick and sat up short for Linde to pull

Varun Chakaravarthy to George Linde, FOUR, Powell is down and he has dropped that at long-off. It's a wide length delivery outside off, George Linde reaches for it and lofts, Powell got there on the dive to his right. He doesn't even get a fingertip on that, the hands were close to the ball, but it misses them. Varun Chakaravarthy is not happy. Powell is a great fielder but once he got there, would've backed himself to take it

Varun Chakaravarthy to George Linde, no run, the googly from over the wicket, spins away, good length, George Linde slashes and misses

George Linde, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ayush Badoni, out Caught by Anukul Roy!! Anukul is another good fielder. He is well in from the deep mid-wicket fence, bends low and dives forward to take it with two hands. A flat back of a length delivery on off, Ayush Badoni goes on the back foot to pull and it goes flat. Again Varun Chakaravarthy shows emotion as he celebrates. That is a key wicket for KKR. Ayush Badoni c Anukul Roy b Varun Chakaravarthy 24(19) [6s-2]

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ayush Badoni, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Kartik Tyagi to Ayush Badoni, no run, Ayush Badoni has missed out. A friendly low full-toss outside off, Badoni gets forward to drive and misses, any bat and in the gap would've been runs

Kartik Tyagi to Ayush Badoni, SIX, is this is over the waist? and are they are checking for the height? No. Ayush Badoni sinks on his back knee, bent his body too. It's a full-toss outside off, Badoni shuffles across and uses the pace on it, helps it all the way over Tim Seifert. Maybe since Badoni bent down, they didn't check the height on it. Tyagi shakes his head in disappointment as he waits at the top of his mark

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, 1 run, full on off, Himmat Singh gets forward to drive wide of extra-cover for one
