Harshal Patel to A Russell, FOUR, poor ball to end your spell, it was on the pads and was rightly put away. He just waits for this full toss to arrive and helps it on its way to the fine leg fence, the fielder from fine leg runs to his right but didn't have any scope of stopping that
17.3 -
Abu Nechim to A Russell, FOUR, thrashed! That was smashed at some power, it was full and outside off, Russell clears his front leg and drills the drive past the bowler, the fielder at long-off wasn't too far away from the ball, but he can't stop it even after putting in the dive. Such was the power on that shot

Chahal to Gambhir, FOUR, tries to float on up but offers a low full toss, Gambhir smashes it along the ground through mid-wicket, beats Kohli's dive, AB runs to his left from long-on and dives, he had it covered but the ball escapes to the boundary after hitting his left hand. That should have been saved by AB's standards
9.0 -
Sammy to Gambhir, FOUR, brave shot with the keeper standing up. Slower delivery outside off stump, Gambhir walks forward and lofts it back over the bowler's head and long-on was not even in the picture

3.2 -
Harshal Patel to Uthappa, FOUR, cut on the rise and Uthappa beats the fielder's dive at cover-point. Width on offer from Patel and Uthappa doesn't miss out, he got on top of the bounce and hit it very well
1.1 -

0.3 -
Abbott to Gambhir, FOUR, another fumble by BLR and this time it is Harshal Patel. Full and on the off stump, looked like it hurried Gambhir a bit, but he managed to flick, the ball went to the left of mid-wicket, but the fielder misfielded the ball
0.1 -
Abbott to Uthappa, FOUR, inauspicious start to the season for BLR. Short of a length delivery just swinging away outside off stump, Uthappa opens the face of the bat and runs it past slip to third man, it was an easy grab for Abu Nechim but he didn't get behind the line of the ball and fumbled
19.1 -
Aaron to Y Pathan, out Caught by Kohli!! Pathan goes after a short stay at the crease. It was a back of a length delivery well outside off, Pathan had enough room to free his arms there. However, the bat turns in his end and he ends up slicing it high in the air. Kohli from long-on runs forward to his left and takes the catch. Not a wicket-taking delivery, but BLR wouldn't mind it. Y Pathan c Kohli b Aaron 3(4)
16.2 -
Harshal Patel to M Pandey, out M Pandey Run Out!! ohh dear! What has happened there? Pandey goes off the very next ball. Yusuf Pathan is guilty of ball watching there. It was another slower one from Patel, Pandey was looking to work it through the on-side, gets a leading edge that goes past the diving bowler and crashes into the stump. Pandey was halfway down the track in search of a run as the ball got deflected to the left of the stumps, Kohli from mid-on charges in, picks the ball and fires in a direct-hit at the striker's end. Pandey put in the dive as well, but he was well short of the crease there. M Pandey run out (Kohli) 23(15) [4s-4]
16.1 -
Harshal Patel to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Mandeep!! Patel is pumped after picking up the wicket of the dangerman Yadav. It was a length delivery on the stumps, Yadav went across and wanted to slog it over deep backward square leg. However, unlike the last game, he doesn't get the distance on it this time as he was fooled by the slower one there. Mandeep Singh takes a good catch right in front of the boundary line. Suryakumar Yadav c Mandeep b Harshal Patel 11(9) [4s-2]
13.2 -
Chahal to Gambhir, out Caught by Mandeep!! Skipper Gambhir is gone after a fine fifty. It was the googly from Chahal on middle stump line, Gambhir went for the swipe across the line after going down on one knee, he didn't get it under it properly and offers a simple catch to Mandeep at deep mid-wicket. Gambhir goes after becoming the batsman with most fifties in the T20 League. Gambhir c Mandeep b Chahal 58(46) [4s-7 6s-1]
10.4 -
Abu Nechim to Uthappa, out Caught by Sammy!! Uthappa perishes while trying to go big. He was struggling a little in the last few overs. It was banged in short and outside off, Uthappa went for the pull but got more height than distance there. Sammy at long-on takes a comfortable catch. BLR though will be happy to see his back. Uthappa c Sammy b Abu Nechim 35(28) [4s-4]
