Boult to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, these are very handy runs for GUJ. What would HYD give for Mustafiz, right now? Not that Boult could have done much with this. Low full toss outside off, the idea is right, but it runs away off a thick outside edge and scurries past short third man after beating a diving Ojha
18.2 -
Boult to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, Boult tries the same dipping full toss which bamboozled Finch earlier, but Bravo isn't premeditating like his teammate. He watches it all the way, leans across and slices it through the point region
18.1 -
Boult to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, a Bravo special! Look at the pose after the shot is complete - his spine arching back and hands protruding away from the body. Fraction full outside off, and he has crrrrunched the cover-drive
17.4 -
Ben Cutting to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, sticks to round the wicket for Bravo as well but bowls one straight at his pads which is tickled away fine. A gift to being the innings
17.2 -
Ben Cutting to Finch, FOUR, yes, it's in line with the body and Finch can only feebly pull it towards fine leg. Should only be a single. Oh shocker! Sran is having a shocker in the field. And he was the one who dropped Finch earlier resulting in all this chaos. He runs to his left but doesn't bend enough letting it through
16.5 -
Bhuvneshwar to Jadeja, FOUR, now GUJ get the boundary, and this is more promising considering it's from Jadeja's willow. High time he came good with the bat, and has the stage too today. Length ball, he punches it masterfully down the ground to beat long-off
16.0 -
Boult to Finch, FOUR, now he has powered a drive straight down the ground, and beats long-off. Boult can't nail the yorker and is given the treatment. Finch is taking off!
15.5 -
Boult to Finch, FOUR, poor ball! With third man in the ring, Boult has dropped it short and has enough width for Finch to upper-cut it to the fence
15.0 -
Barinder to Finch, FOUR, excellent awareness from Finch! He knows that third man is up and once he is bestowed with some width, he simply opens the bat-face and splits the field despite the ball almost being in the blockhole
14.0 -
Henriques to Finch, FOUR, this is such an impressive shot. He is cramped for room by a back of a length delivery which follows him down leg, but still finds enough power in those forearms to force the pull away. Splits the field perfectly in front of square
13.3 -
Henriques to Finch, FOUR, not holding back, are they? Finch is out of his crease prompting the length to be shortened. But he throws his bat and flat-bats it over extra-cover. Just over extra-cover. Long-off tries his best, running around and diving in an effort to flick it back in, but the ball keeps rolling towards the cushions
10.1 -
Barinder to Finch, FOUR, this is a lesson which should have been digested by now. Nothing length, around waist high with no pace behind the ball and Finch has hammered the pull behind square
8.3 -
Bipul Sharma to D Karthik, FOUR, it's a short ball at 78ks, which is criminal. Allows Karthik lots of time to camp back and thwack the pull through mid-wicket
7.1 -
Henriques to D Karthik, FOUR, how well has he manouevered that! Henriques tries to follow Karthik with a leg-cutter after seeing him back away, but Karthik still has enough magic in his wrists to drive it through extra-cover
6.4 -
Ben Cutting to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, short of length off-cutter which holds up on the pitch and McCullum has forehanded it over mid-off. This is slightly shorter than the ideal length for the cutter, sits up too cozily
5.3 -
Bipul Sharma to D Karthik, FOUR, shuffles outside off to get inside the line of the ball and sweeps it with the angle to hit it past short fine leg. Or over short fine leg, as in this case
5.0 -
Barinder to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, half-volley on the pads which is banished to the fine leg fence with a powerful flourish of the wrists. On the half-volley and into the cushions
4.3 -
Barinder to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, this is an off-cutter which just sits up. Short of length, around waist high and McCullum thunders the pull behind square
3.4 -
Boult to D Karthik, FOUR, my word, you can't accuse GUJ of not providing the thrills. What a shot to open your account! It's a full ball outside off but Karthik still has a lot of work to do. He reaches out with a good stride and crunches the cover drive
1.5 -
Boult to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, a tasty little full toss on the pads and it's been devoured by McCullum who is on a sugar rush. Flicks it well in front of square and beats deep square leg
1.3 -
Boult to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, width outside off as Boult slants a full ball across, and McCullum might have driven it off the toe-end, you know. But the batswing is so fearsome that the ball skims away past a diving cover. There is protection in the deep too in the form of sweeper cover but he's just a spectator
0.4 -
Bhuvneshwar to Dwivedi, FOUR, strides out of the crease and has the old fashioned pinch-hitter's heave-ho, flies away off the outside edge and beats third man. Bhuvi had cleverly shortened his length but still had to see the ball race away
19.3 -
Bhuvneshwar to Dwayne Bravo, out Bowled!! Pretty much similar to the Finch dismissal, only that this full toss didn't have much height on it. Bravo moved to leg, tried to slug it across the line but missed and deflected it onto the stumps off his pad. Good little cameo.. Dwayne Bravo b Bhuvneshwar 20(10) [4s-4]
17.3 -
Ben Cutting to Finch, out Bowled!! Finch is startled by the height on this full toss, and the fact that it's following him down leg, he ushers in a slog - almost as an evasive action more than anything - but misses and the ball deflects off his pads onto the stumps. There might have been an inside edge involved. The umpires check for height but it's just FINE. Finch b Ben Cutting 50(32) [4s-7 6s-2]
12.4 -
Ben Cutting to Dwayne Smith, out Caught by Dhawan!! GUJ are going down like a sack of potatoes. Things are falling apart pretty quickly here. Another very potent weapon is disarmed in the form of Smith. He is justified in flashing at a short and wide ball, but this is a leg-cutter which loops up off the deck. As a result, Smith is never in control of the bounce and skews it straight to deep point. Dwayne Smith c Dhawan b Ben Cutting 1(3)
12.0 -
Bipul Sharma to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Bhuvneshwar!! Now a catch has been taken, and McCullum - the dangerous McCullum - is on his way back. Came down the track, couldn't quite meet the pitch, but still tries to go against the turn. Has to reach out with his hands leading the body and slices it off a thick leading edge. Bhuvi at deep cover, sporting a purple cap, gobbles it down in front of the chest. Brendon McCullum c Bhuvneshwar b Bipul Sharma 32(29) [4s-5]
8.5 -
Bipul Sharma to D Karthik, out D Karthik Run Out!! And Karthik gives it away almost immediately to take a bucketload of weight off Cutting's shoulders. Arm-ball which is slightly short which tempts Karthik into backing away. He late-cuts it straight to short third man, takes a few steps down the pitch before being rightly sent back by Baz. But the damage is done, he is too far out and a direct-hit catches him short despite a dive. D Karthik run out (Boult) 26(19) [4s-4 6s-1]
3.2 -
Boult to Raina, out Lbw!! Raina goes across the line, misses and is found trapped in front of off stump. Big blow, and HYD's celebrations suggest the same. Wobbly seam from Boult pointing towards first slip, but the ball slants in and perhaps puzzled Raina who expected some swing. He tries to flick it away but the ball sneaks past his inside edge and thuds the pad. Raina lbw b Boult 1(5)
1.0 -
Bhuvneshwar to Dwivedi, out Caught by Boult!! Umm, so it's safe to say that the gamble didn't work. It's a short and wide ball, ED sees the width and slashes at it, only to find the ball swirling off a thick edge and down to third man. There was extra bounce which caused the shot to go awry. Dwivedi c Boult b Bhuvneshwar 5(5) [4s-1]
