DEL's openers are out in the middle. They need de Kock and Agarwal to give them a rollicking start to make a good fist of this chase. Harbhajan has the new ball in his hand. Can he get the ball to grip off the surface? He does not have a slip fielder in place though
Guptill: "It was nice to get a hit early on. Krunal then played very well. We will take 206. The odd ball was turning and a few were stopping. No ways to describe the way Krunal played. He was phenomenal. We can defend this target. We need to field well and take our chances."
Some gambles amuse, some delight, and some just leave you so stunned that you discard them as an illusion. I'm still wondering if what I have just witnessed was a mirage or did that really happen? Krunal Pandya, sent in at No. 3, went full Muhammad Ali and swung so hard at Delhi that their heads must still be ringing like bells. His batswing was so clean, so ferocious that even mishits carried all the way. Most of Pandya's innings transpired while Guptill was at the other end, labouring along, playing like batting had just been invented - very scratchy. But he hung around and kept company. Post Pandya's dismissal, the combo of Rayudu and Buttler struck some lusty blows to power Mumbai over 200. Is this pitch all that good for batting, I'm not sure. It didn't quite look a belter from what I gathered. We'll see how the chase goes...

C Morris to Krunal Pandya, out Bowled!! Morris does the trick for DEL. Fuller length delivery and outside off, Pandya tries to hammer it across the line and gets an inside edge onto his stumps. It brings to an end Pandya's pyrotechnics. The great man, Tendulkar, pats Krunal as he makes his way back to the hut. Krunal Pandya b C Morris 86(37) [4s-7 6s-6]
C Morris to Krunal Pandya, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!
17.1 -

16.6 -
Zaheer to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, wide yorker from Zaheer, Pandya digs it out to third man
16.5 -
Zaheer to Pollard, 1 run, very full and on the stumps, Pollard clips it to deep mid-wicket. It feels as if Pollard is playing the second fiddle to Pandya. How many times have you seen Pollard doing that in his career?
16.4 -
Zaheer to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, low full toss from Zaheer, Pandya tucks it to mid-wicket
16.3 -
Zaheer to Krunal Pandya, SIX, there was a time, when pulling with a vertical bat was almost considered impossible. However, in modern times, batsmen are fearless. Shortish and outside off, Pandya pulls it over mid-wicket and it clears the fence

15.6 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, no run, shorter in length and outside off, Pandya looks to cut and does not make the connection
15.5 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, SIX, another maximum. This is ridiculous hitting from Pandya. Flatter delivery and on the stumps, Pandya slogs it over the deep mid-wicket boundary. He picked the bones out of that delivery
15.4 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, SIX, Pandya is taking the oppostion ranks to the cleaners. In fact, DEL's field placements have been reduced to a state of lottery. Pandya plants his front foot and cracks it straight down the ground and it goes all the way
15.3 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, drifting down leg and gets the deserved punishment. Pandya sits on one knee and sweeps it to the deep backward square leg fence

Kieron Pollard, right handed bat, comes to the crease
14.5 -
Zaheer to Guptill, out Caught by Nair!! Guptill's fine hand comes to an end. He played with composure, sprinkled with some eye-catching shots. Guptill attempted to clobber a full toss over long-off, but got it off the toe-end. Karun ran in from long-off and took a good running catch with both hands. Guptill's bat also turned in his hands and that did not help his cause. Guptill c Nair b Zaheer 48(42) [4s-2 6s-3]
Zaheer to Guptill, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!
14.4 -
Zaheer to Guptill, byes, FOUR, well, not much is going right for DEL. Zaheer looks for the yorker, but loses his radar and bowls a full toss, Guptill makes room and tries to hammer it through the off-side, but does not make the connection.

13.5 -
S Nadeem to Krunal Pandya, SIX, oh boy! Pandya has packed a punch with a flurry of crackerjack shots. He reaches his fifty in style with a maximum. No wonder, MUM's star-studded cricketers in the dug-out stand up and applaud his effort. The fifty came in a mere 22 balls, too. Coming back to the shot, Pandya just butchered a flatter delivery over the deep mid-wicket boundary
13.4 -
S Nadeem to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, with a dash of royal flourish, Pandya buries a pushed through delivery to the long-on fence. The fielder in the deep had no chance of stopping that

12.1 -
Tahir to Guptill, SIX, is Guptill using a bazooka or a willow? The googly from Tahir, Guptill sits on one knee and slog-sweeps it to over long-on. He picked that googly quite easily
Imran Tahir [2.0-0-20-0] is back into the attack
11.6 -

11.4 -

Shahbaz Nadeem [2.0-0-23-0] is back into the attack
10.6 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, Pandya is displaying heavy layers of skill today. Fuller length delivery and zeroing in on the stumps, Pandya lifts it into the downtown territories. It rockets to the fence
10.5 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, no run, googly and outside off, Pandya aims to cut and the ball snakes past the outside edge
10.4 -
Mishra to Guptill, 1 run, flatter delivery and on the stumps. In fact, it was the slider, Guptill drives it to long-off
10.3 -

Mishra to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, Mishra gets the googly to turn, Pandya somehow manages to dab it to short third man
9.6 -

9.5 -
Tahir to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, that's courageous. And powerful. Shuffles across to make room for this fullish googly and powers this loft with lots of bottom hand. Over extra cover and it zoots to the fences (hot wheels)
9.4 -
Tahir to Krunal Pandya, 2 runs, okay, that was good and bad from Samson and the other fielder. A mistimed lift over mid-wicket from Pandya, two fielders coalesce at the fence trying to catch it and one of them, Mayank I think, slapped the ball back in...after they had missed the catch
9.3 -
Tahir to Guptill, 1 run, bowls it quicker this time, Guptill hurries into a punch off the back foot. To long-off for a binary digit
9.2 -
Tahir to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, slows the pace down and the punch ends up in traveling uppishly to long-off
9.1 -
Tahir to Guptill, 1 run, Tahir again. Sorry, but I admire him. Expect an overdose of mentions. Was on the floor to collect this dab from short third man. Guptill had almost made it but a direct hit and Tahir's sitting posture behind the stumps rather than in front should have made things more fun
8.6 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, Tahir misses his 'slap' attempt to field that at cow corner. This was clobbered cross-batted by Pandya again, Tahir spots it late I think, has to let out a sprint and ends up fanning the air as the ball ricochets well in front of him
8.5 -
Mishra to Guptill, 1 run, swerves across to be full and dipping on leg-stump, Guptill follows it with jammed feet and clips it to deep mid-wicket

8.3 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, SIX, wrong 'un again and this sees the stars! Shuffles across, uses the fuller length to its full advantage and launches it over long-on
8.2 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, no run, wind-mill swing of the bat, says Alan Wilkins. Beaten by the googly again, gets drawn into it and is rendered second by the excessive turn again
8.1 -
Mishra to Guptill, 1 run, presses forward and had the room to free arms on this flat-batted drive to long-off
7.6 -
Tahir to Guptill, 1 run, and now again. Not the misfield but it falls well short of the fielder this time -- the fielder does well to fire back the throw and just a single. A mistimed sweep, was early into it but it fell well short
7.5 -
Tahir to Krunal Pandya, 3 runs, and now it's spreading. A misfield at deep mid-wicket and QDK has a look that's hard to describe - almost like cribbing without the lip muscles getting a workout. Tucked uppishly this was
7.4 -
Tahir to Guptill, 1 run, shuffles and punches it through extra cover this time
7.3 -
Tahir to Guptill, FOUR, this ball deserved this misfield. Let me be very brutal. Short and wide, Guptill opens his bat on the cut and gets it past a fumbling and struggling Zaheer at backward point
7.2 -
Tahir to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, uses the bounce on this legbreak to turn it to deep mid-wicket
7.1 -
Tahir to Krunal Pandya, no run, starts with a googly like Mishra but no appeal. Pandya is drawn into it but it turns too much for Tahir's own benefit
Imran Tahir, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack
Time-out! Sorry for a late update. Was relooking that dismissal and almost fell off. Here's Tahir! One slip
6.6 -
Mishra to Guptill, no run, tries to squeeze out a drive off a ball too full and the inside edge rolls square on the leg-side
6.5 -
Mishra to Guptill, FOUR, that's bliss. Too good a shot to bring the fifty up. Overpitched legbreak, Guptill had the front foot stride to pummel it and does so with an inside-out loft over long-off. You should have seen that ball sail over the fielder
A left-hander sent in to counter legspin, you would think
6.4 -
Mishra to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, drifts across too full and Pandya drills it to long-off with a bat swing that could power an MP3
Krunal Pandya, left handed bat, comes to the crease
6.3 -
Mishra to Rohit, out Caught by Rishabh Pant!! The Rohit Sharma theorem needs a rework. It's a mediocre legbreak turning away, ironically giving Rohit the width to cut and he finds Rishabh Pant with it. And that's a good catch. Dives head-first and pouches it at backward point. Ravi Shastri gives his verdict on air as the third umpire struggles in his cobweb of replays and zoomers. Then concurs with Waz's Shaz and sends the mathematicians into a tizzy. Rohit c Rishabh Pant b Mishra 31(21) [4s-1 6s-3]
Mishra to Rohit, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!
6.2 -
Mishra to Guptill, 1 run, shuffles across on his knees and meets this quicker delivery with a scoop darted short of fine leg
6.1 -
Mishra to Guptill, no run, and he drifts this googly in straight away. Skids on, does too much and raps the left pad planted down leg. Appeal is short-lived
Amit Mishra, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack
Here's my first dose of the leg-spin buffet on offer tonight. Will it turn? How much? Well, 238976 radians
5.6 -
S Nadeem to Guptill, 1 run, similar line and length again but T20s don't allow imitations. Powers it with a front foot drive but extra cover intercepts it. Would have done it on heels...straight to him. 45/0 is what it reads after the powerplay
5.5 -
S Nadeem to Guptill, no run, slows it down, pitches it up and Guptill respects it with a forward defence
5.4 -
S Nadeem to Rohit, 1 run, arm-ball cloaked in mediocrity. Short and wide and Sharma punches it through extra cover
5.3 -
S Nadeem to Rohit, SIX, ah, that's been boomed away! Gets it on the ideal length to sweep, kneels down before you could say Jack Robinson and winds it over deep square leg
5.2 -
S Nadeem to Guptill, 3 runs, this was a good shot and Tahir gave the chase all the way to the boundary to stop this. Guptill had the room made and uses a 45-degree bat to drive this wide of backward point
5.1 -
S Nadeem to Rohit, 1 run, dragged down but the bounce is too much to flay it. Rocks back, rises and punches it to cover. There's a slip too
Shahbaz Nadeem [1.0-0-11-0] is back into the attack
Here's Nadeem. Why was he taken off, again?
MUM are 33/0 but can't say that Delhi have disappointed. Zaheer is not a bowler. He's a magic sprinkle that forges the best out of any attack. Remember Durban 2010?
4.6 -
Zaheer to Rohit, 1 run, stays put and opens himself with the angle for a slices single to point
4.5 -
Zaheer to Guptill, 1 run, crashes this length ball to mid-off and gets to the other end. The boring end
4.4 -
Zaheer to Guptill, no run, this is wonderful bowling. Sticks into the pitch and then bounds up ambitiously, Guptill was backed away and looked for a delicate punch. Misses as the ball zooms up
4.3 -
Zaheer to Guptill, no run, gets a short-wide ball but the cut shot is piped straight to someone at square
4.2 -
Zaheer to Guptill, no run, all happening! Guptill is hit on the helmet! The ball kicks up quick, Guptill is looking to swivel but decided to duck late. But it's too late and is hit somewhere near the badge. Looks fine, does Guptill
4.1 -
Zaheer to Guptill, no run, a slight stutter but all's safe. Backs away with a slap that's slotted to cover-point, Rohit is halfway down and then is sent back. The throw isn't the LED-lighting one. Direct hit and you never know..
3.6 -
C Morris to Rohit, SIX, that's been bullied like a high school nerd! A front foot pull, can you believe? Perhaps reads the length early like a psychic and flat-bats the pull over long-on. Yes, long-on
3.5 -
C Morris to Rohit, no run, and now he undoes all of that with this. He's looking to be urgent, plays a touch early and the caned drive drops well in front of mid-off this time. Can't gamble on the ball holding in the pitch so early on
3.4 -
C Morris to Rohit, no run, that's a dot. A gorgeous dot. Gets forward nicely on the front foot and creams it to mid-off
3.3 -
C Morris to Guptill, 1 run, swivels and utilizes the bounce to tuck this to short fine leg
3.2 -
C Morris to Guptill, SIX, that's surreal. That takes real power! Morris bowled it short, Guptill was initially looking to charge but then holds himself and makes tennis look mundane with a flat-batter hammer over deep extra cover
3.1 -
C Morris to Rohit, 1 run, lovely wrists to clip this fullish delivery to deep mid-wicket
2.6 -
Zaheer to Guptill, no run, weaves magic by arresting Guptill's shimmy with a 129ks short ball. Nothing much that could be done - the ball is bunted with a high bat towards cover-point
2.5 -
Zaheer to Rohit, 1 run, 133ks length ball angled across, Rohit executes a dab of certainty to third man
2.4 -
Zaheer to Rohit, no run, chops it onto the pitch and thanks the stars for the ball to not ricochet anywhere in the vicinity of the stumps
2.3 -
Zaheer to Guptill, 1 run, the lone slipper flung to his left, almost tumbled over but this intended outside edge ran past him. This time, Guptill opened up with the cutter but was half-beaten in not being able to use the meat of his bat
2.2 -
Zaheer to Rohit, 1 run, and this is an unintentional chip to mid-off. The cutter is banged in, gets high on Rohit who hops to ride it but in the end, tamely pops it short of the man
2.1 -
Zaheer to Rohit, no run, Zaheer Khan, King of the (Andals) Cutters. Rolls his fingers across, draws Sharma forward and rips it past his outside edge. Wow, stay tuned
Zaheer Khan, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
The captain has a slip
1.6 -
C Morris to Rohit, 1 run, spindles around with the flight of this delivery and tucks it to deep square leg
1.5 -
C Morris to Rohit, no run, that's a waft. A diode shot, if I can put it. Swings his bat, forgets feet on it and sees the ball whistle past. Swing and a miss, if you are so intent on cliches
1.4 -
C Morris to Guptill, 1 run, this pitch looks a devil already. Extra bounce on this length ball, Guptill was looking to tuck it through mid-wicket, gets a leading edge and the ball rolls to third man. A slight nip away made it look worse
1.3 -
C Morris to Guptill, no run, cuts a little pace on this, gets it to seam in and Guptill shuffled across to leg, made room for the tame movement off the pitch and bunted with a 45-degree bat
1.2 -
C Morris to Guptill, no run, allows another shortish delivery to come in and greets it with an open-batted defence
Morris is about to bowl, gets past his delivery stride but doesn't let the ball go! Looks back and the heel perhaps got stuck into the crease there
1.1 -
C Morris to Rohit, 1 run, pinged on a back of a length, Rohit turns around with the angle on leg-stump and turns it round the corner
Chris Morris, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
Morris has a slip too
0.6 -
S Nadeem to Guptill, no run, straightens outside off, Guptill reaches out, is befuddled by Visakhapatnam's hospitality and ekes out a leading edge to cover
Two slips now
0.5 -
S Nadeem to Rohit, 1 run, clips it from the pads to mid-on
0.4 -
S Nadeem to Rohit, SIX, Gavaskar's "yes, yes" itinerary could teach counting to the kids here. Not that good a shot to be honest. Short, yes, but not much and Rohit lofts it over deep extra cover. Opened the bat face well there to cover up the turn. Okay, it was a good shot
0.3 -
S Nadeem to Rohit, FOUR, and Rohit responds with a four. Kneels, doesn't allow the ball to do much and helps this pitched up delivery over mid-wicket with a sweep
0.2 -
S Nadeem to Rohit, no run, it's here. Spin's here! Looped on middle and off, rips away with venom and beats the outside edge
0.1 -
S Nadeem to Rohit, no run, there are the first signs. Kicks up from middle and Rohit defends it off the splice
Rohit and Guptill are at the crease. Rohit is on strike. S Nadeem will open the attack
"We have a nothing-to-lose attitude and Krunal played one of the innings of the tournament so far," says a jubilant Ponting. The pitch tempted us into believing that it was a potential thriller but Bumrah's 'handcuff spell' only catalysed Delhi's impending demise. Visakhapatnam though reimbursed us well with the runs on offer and the other Pandya blossomed into limelight to reiterate popular belief in 'believe'. With that, Pratyush Sinha bids good night on behalf of Bharath Ramaraj and Siva. Ta-ta!
Krunal: "I was really happy that I did well. I assessed the conditions well actually. I knew there were two legspinners and a left-arm spinner, and they were certain to bowl 12 overs there. So I played my shots. At that time, I did not target a score. Both leggies bowl good googlies, I was waiting for it and trying to hit it. That gesture (flaunt-the-biceps celebration) was to Hardik telling that I hit so many sixes. We like to pull each other's legs. When he (Pollard) came, I told him that I will attack and so he should take a single and give me the strike. I want to dedicate this innings to my parents and my brother, who always supports me. Also want to dedicate this to one of my coaches."
Krunal Pandya is the Man of the Match
Rohit: "Much needed win. We were not playing consistent cricket. We wanted to play positive cricket today. Scoring 200 on that wicket was challenging but you saw the result in the end. We wanted to play a game like that, wanted to win with a big margin. Everything went according to the plan, perfect day for us. Krunal Pandya played a brilliant knock and played some fearless cricket. Everytime you back yourselves, you will get the results. He will remember that knock for a long time. Scoring 200 and defending like that was perfect. Guptill played a great innings too. We want to be in tough situations. For the last few years, when I have been the captain, it has never been easy. We haven't played consistent cricket, but when we have played, we have played very well."
Ravi Shastri has arrived with his forced phonetics and most real of enthusiasms. Man of the Match for Bumrah? *hides behind a chair*
Zaheer: "Yes, 200 is always tough to chase. Having said that, it was a tough day for the bowlers. Off day for us as a bowling unit. Credit to Rohit for taking on the spinners early and didn't let us execute our bowling plans. We lacked a third seamer to attack when Pandya was going. He played well and their plan came off well. We want to stay positive. We have this young energy and that is key, especially at the back end of this tournament. 3 games is enough to win 2 out of 3. The advantage is that we play home games at Raipur and the trick will be to win the next one."
It's always tough to feel a pain that's not yours. So we cannot judge how bad de Kock would have felt after being adjudged caught behind poorly for the second time in a row. That was not just a poor decision which left de Kock dejected, it was also an error which sank Delhi's hopes. Not that they were cruising along to chase down the mammoth total from Mumbai. But the South African was certainly hitting them well and how long does it take to change the fate of a game anyway? One cannot ignore Bumrah's efforts with the ball whose astounding figures of 4-0-13-3 broke the back of Delhi's batting. Mumbai have peaked at the right time. They cannot afford to put a foot wrong. Delhi, though, have definitely lost the momentum they had garnered after a series of good performances.
19.1 -
Krunal Pandya to Zaheer, out Bowled!! Third biggest T20 League win for Mumbai. They are alive and breathing! What a win this, what a big win this and what a way for this match to end. Krunal Pandya, the subtle Pandya sibling, stretches his moment of glory with this wicket. Loops this up on a length, gets it to turn past the face of the closing bat and crashes into the off-stump. Zaheer b Krunal Pandya 2(4)
Krunal Pandya to Zaheer, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!
Krunal Pandya [2.0-0-15-1] is back into the attack
81 runs off the last 6 legal balls. In some alternate universe, where hits over the fence fetch 20 runs, it's feasible
18.6 -
Bumrah to S Nadeem, no run, pokes his front leg out and tries a swing over the bowler's head. Doesn't connect
18.5 -
Bumrah to S Nadeem, no run, punches a short of length delivery to cover. Pollard fields and then crouches with his head buried in the ground. Why?
18.4 -
Bumrah to Zaheer, 1 run, a hint of curl in allows a squirt to fine leg. Not off the meat of the bat (as if it matters now)
18.3 -
Bumrah to S Nadeem, 1 run, stands with legs wide apart and flat-bats it to mid-off
There's a widish slip in place
18.2 -
Bumrah to Zaheer, 1 run, takes a hand off to keep this tuck along the ground to backward square
18.1 -
Bumrah to Zaheer, no run, good bouncer. Kicks up outside off, forces Khan into a hop and a sway...and also makes him withdraw his face-covering bat inside the line of it
Jasprit Bumrah [3.0-0-10-3] is back into the attack
Zaheer Khan, right handed bat, comes to the crease
84 off the last 2 overs
17.6 -
McClenaghan to Tahir, out Tahir Run Out!! Mistimes a pull shot to mid-on, the fielder comes running in and cuts Tahir's slow-legged jog of a desperate run short. No referral upstairs..that clear. Tahir run out (Vinay) 5(7) [4s-1]
McClenaghan to Tahir, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!
17.5 -
McClenaghan to Tahir, FOUR, okay, that's karma for me. This is a good shot. Gets a drivable ball and lofts it over a near vacant infield to the deep cover fence
17.4 -
McClenaghan to Tahir, no run, that was a kick-duck. An empty kick-duck. Short ball it was, Tahir kicks his front leg to say towards point and then sways away while ducking to miss whatever he was trying to do
17.3 -
McClenaghan to Tahir, no run, full yorker outside off and Tahir fails to squeeze it out
17.2 -
McClenaghan to Tahir, no run, backs away and hops to defend the ball sliding in across the stumps from a back of a length
Stop the press! Dravid has beaten Tendulkar in some poll on the broadcaster's channel. Don't ask me what poll...does it matter?
17.1 -
McClenaghan to Tahir, no run, hops and crosses his bat towards fifth stump down leg to cover for the bounce and duck in
Mitchell McClenaghan [3.0-0-22-0] is back into the attack
That Morris wicket seals it, almost, but I would never bank on the certainty of a T20 match. Better off being a crow at The Wall than doing that. Or beyond the wall..
16.6 -
Vinay to S Nadeem, no run, trims the cutter away and Nadeem flashing blade and an inclined body towards off-side with legs planted down leg is to no avail
16.5 -
Vinay to Tahir, 1 run, now Tahir has played a defence to cover. Don't you dare go away!
Imran Tahir, right handed bat, comes to the crease
16.4 -
Vinay to C Morris, out C Morris Run Out!! 1 run completed. Now he perishes. Gets ambitious as he clips one to backward square leg and aims for a couple. Calls for it, runs to the danger end and falls short. The throw is quick and flat and killing. C Morris run out (Rayudu/Buttler) 20(16) [4s-2 6s-1]
Vinay to C Morris, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!
16.3 -
Vinay to C Morris, no run, a definite under-edge and it drops in front of the keeper.. Reached out to slap- the drive, the ball doesn't bounce much and he lives on
16.2 -
Vinay to C Morris, SIX, that was "cool". No other way to put it. Gets a short ball with some venom, puts on a jet pack and hops high. And then arches his back to manufacture power on the upper cut over deep cover. The fielder there was standing deep, arches back but it was wooded well
16.1 -
Vinay to C Morris, no run, straightens elbows, bends knees and mistimes the drive to mid-off
15.6 -
Bumrah to C Morris, 1 run, turns it to mid-wicket and keeps the strike. 96 runs off the last 4 overs
15.5 -
Bumrah to C Morris, no run, full ball, Morris swings his bat (tees off in golf) but misses. Missed by a margin. That one was more to signal the intent. If not, that argument could serve as a good eye-wash
15.4 -
Bumrah to S Nadeem, byes, 1 run, now that zips up from a length, beats the attempted cut and the top-edge and a fumble by the keeper allows a bye
Shahbaz Nadeem, right handed bat, comes to the crease
A slip now. Talk about rewards..
15.3 -
Bumrah to Mishra, out Bowled!! That was through before Mishra's mind could fancy a shot. Wobbles the seam on a length, gets it to cut away. Mishra was standing down leg, looks for a run-down to third man but the ball whizzes past the toe-end and downs the off-stump. Mishra b Bumrah 1(5)
Bumrah to Mishra, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!
15.2 -
Bumrah to Mishra, no run, kicks his back leg side-on to give away the shuffle away, Bumrah bangs it in and Mishra stands still. Stunned
15.1 -
Bumrah to C Morris, 1 run, splays this yorker down leg allowing Morris to get inside the line and clip it to deep mid-wicket. No hat-trick for him
Jasprit Bumrah [2.0-0-8-2] is back into the attack
Delhi need 99 runs in 30 balls.
14.6 -
Vinay to C Morris, 1 run, dips the yorker right at the feet of the middle stump and Morris was ready with his front leg out for a dig
14.5 -
Vinay to Mishra, 1 run, shuffles across very late and sort of closes the bat face on the tap to short mid-wicket
14.4 -
Vinay to Mishra, no run, another lovely ball. Pounds the cutter short, invites the cut but Mishra is early into it. Zoots past the top-edge
14.3 -
Vinay to C Morris, 1 run, too full to do anything. Swings and the inside edge French cuts to short fine leg
14.2 -
Vinay to C Morris, no run, that's vinyl from Vinay. Pardon me. Morris backs away to invite a slow and full slower delivery outside off, reaches out to compensate for the extra room made but misses
14.1 -
Vinay to C Morris, no run, slow loopy bumper, Morris hops and thinks to an upper cut but arrests his intentions
Vinay Kumar [2.0-0-22-1] is back into the attack
Here's Vinay Kumar. Once punched by Warner but all of them off the bat...and at the ground
13.6 -
McClenaghan to Mishra, no run, no shimmy but when the back bends, it bends. Another short ball, Mishra initially looked to fend it into the leg-side but then ducks under it. A warm welcome that for Mishra. Delhi need 102 runs in 36 balls
13.5 -
McClenaghan to C Morris, 1 run, mistimes the pull to mid-wicket this time. Same script: shorter length and Morris flipping between timing one and erring in the next
13.4 -
McClenaghan to C Morris, FOUR, now that, for a change, was not intentional. This time the shimmy cramps him for room, the short ball rises up awkwardly high and the attempted flat-batted pull is spliced through third man. Good enough, Morris would say
13.3 -
McClenaghan to C Morris, no run, cuts the pace down a little, no dart away on this length ball and an easy stretch-out slap to backward point
13.2 -
McClenaghan to C Morris, FOUR, wow. Skips out to see the length shortened and flat-bats the pull off the front foot over mid-on. One bounce and into awesome zones
13.1 -
McClenaghan to C Morris, no run, lovely delivery again. On fifth stump at 133ks, jags away from a length and Morris is drawn into a pokey miss
Amit Mishra, right handed bat, comes to the crease
Delhi need 111 runs in 42 balls. Bumrah will be on a hat-trick next ball and if that happens, I will go "Bumrah, Bumrah, Bumrah!". Only fair. His figures now stand at 2-0-8-2. Time-out it seems like!
12.6 -
Bumrah to Rishabh Pant, out Bowled!! Bumrah, Bumrah! Angles this away on a length but doesn't go too kind with the width. Keeps Pant cramped who swivels into a premeditated short-arm pull and chops it onto the stumps. Umpire check the no ball and millions of replays later, it's concurred that Bumrah's front leg had an iota behind the line. Rishabh Pant b Bumrah 23(17) [4s-2 6s-1]
Bumrah to Rishabh Pant, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!
Chris Morris, right handed bat, comes to the crease
12.5 -
Bumrah to Duminy, out Caught by Buttler!! That top-edge jetted up, Buttler called for it, feared not holding on to it, catches and then lies flat on his back in relief. That high. Duminy shimmied down the track, Bumrah cleverly pulled the length back but Duminy was not holding back. Swung across the line to try his luck which obviously ditched him. Duminy c Buttler b Bumrah 9(9) [4s-1]
Bumrah to Duminy, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!
12.4 -
Bumrah to Rishabh Pant, 1 run, short and outside off, Pant slaps it to deep cover
12.3 -
Bumrah to Rishabh Pant, 2 runs, that shot was 45 degrees out of phase with Pant's intentions. Wanted to loft the full cutter over mid-on, gets a leading edge as he plays early and the extra cover backtracks, tries to pouch it but it's too tough a catch. Falls behind his arched back and it's a life for Pant
12.2 -
Bumrah to Duminy, 1 run, now uses the angle to swat a single through mid-wicket. More like a poor man's pull that - lacked the swivel
12.1 -
Bumrah to Duminy, 2 runs, slow cutter from round the wicket, loops in slowly from outside leg and Duminy tucks it to mid-wicket
Jasprit Bumrah [1.0-0-2-0] is back into the attack
Delhi need 117 runs in 48 balls. On a scale of 1 to Bumrah's bowling action, how tough is it for Delhi from here?
11.6 -
McClenaghan to Duminy, leg byes, 1 run, spindles and laps it to short fine leg. Doesn't connect, off the pad and Pant calls for the single early. Takes on the danger end bravely and comes out trumps
11.5 -
McClenaghan to Duminy, FOUR, backs away to make room for the angle in and flogs this fuller delivery with a drive through long-off. Switch back round the wicket already
From over the wicket now
11.4 -
McClenaghan to Rishabh Pant, 1 run, swivels himself, lifts his front leg and plays it one-legged to fine leg, courtesy a pull. Shortish ball down leg allowed him the luxury for all that
11.3 -
McClenaghan to Rishabh Pant, no run, now a slower bumper at 124ks. Pant is early into the swivel-pull and is beaten neck and crop
11.2 -
McClenaghan to Rishabh Pant, no run, bowls it from wide of the crease and bends back on this length delivery. Pant cuts with the angle but it was too quick and wide enough to evade him
11.1 -
McClenaghan to Rishabh Pant, no run, goes wide and angles in the bumper from round the wicket. Pant sits under it
Mitchell McClenaghan [1.0-0-8-0] is back into the attack
10.6 -
Nitish Rana to Rishabh Pant, 1 run, pinged on back of a length, stays up for an easy tuck round the corner
10.5 -
Nitish Rana to Duminy, 1 run, quicker one skids on in, Duminy pulls out a more urgent clip to long-on
10.4 -
Nitish Rana to Duminy, no run, that was a lovely ball. Pitches on off and turns away viciously as Duminy looks to sweep. Past the brooming bat and the keeper takes the bails off...but Duminy had never left the crease. Third umpire thought so too
Stumping appeal..looks routine. Bowled from two feet behind the crease. The back foot never lifts
10.3 -
Nitish Rana to Duminy, no run, quicker and on off stump, Duminy waits for it and carves it out into the off-side
10.2 -
Nitish Rana to Rishabh Pant, 1 run, the fuller length delivery fetches a single off the front foot to extra cover
10.1 -
Nitish Rana to Rishabh Pant, no run, top-spins from a length and Pant slaps it straight to cover-point
Nitish Rana, right-arm off-spin, comes into the attack
9.6 -
Krunal Pandya to Rishabh Pant, 1 run, Pant pulls it to deep square leg
9.5 -
Krunal Pandya to Rishabh Pant, FOUR, short in length, Pant stays back and cuts it to deep backward point. In fact, it came off the outside edge, but at this point of time, DEL would take any runs on offer
9.4 -
Krunal Pandya to Rishabh Pant, FOUR, flatter delivery and outside off, Pant drills it to deep extra cover. Much needed four for DEL
9.3 -
Krunal Pandya to Duminy, 1 run, Duminy tucks it to mid-wicket after using his feet for a single
Jean-Paul Duminy, left handed bat, comes to the crease
9.2 -
Krunal Pandya to de Kock, out Caught by Buttler!! de Kock is befuddled as he has been chugged down. Maybe it did not take the edge there. Even in the game against HYD, he was given out when he had not edged it. While he was walking back to the dug-out, he was basically talking to himself that he was wrongly given out twice in this T20 League. Pandya bowls it outside off, de Kock tries to dab it to short third man and misses. de Kock perhaps believes that his bat hit the keeper's gloves. I think that is the sound the umpire heard. de Kock c Buttler b Krunal Pandya 40(28) [4s-4 6s-2]
Krunal Pandya to de Kock, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!
9.2 -
Krunal Pandya to de Kock, wide, wide of off, de Kock looks to steer it to third man and again misses
9.1 -
Krunal Pandya to de Kock, no run, turn for Pandya, de Kock aims to cut and misses
8.6 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, 1 run, slower through the air and just outside off, push-driven to sweeper cover
8.5 -
Harbhajan to Rishabh Pant, 1 run, Pant taps it to point and jogs to the other end
8.4 -
Harbhajan to Rishabh Pant, no run, Pant stays back and steers it to point
8.3 -
Harbhajan to Rishabh Pant, SIX, Pant dances down the track, gets it on the half-volley and lifts it down the ground. Despite Pollard looking to get towards the ball, it clears the fence
8.2 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, 1 run, fullish length from Harbhajan, de Kock pushes it to cover
8.1 -
Harbhajan to Rishabh Pant, 1 run, slower through the air, Pant push-drives it to sweeper cover
7.6 -
Krunal Pandya to de Kock, no run, flatter delivery and outside off, cut to backward point
Rishabh Pant, left handed bat, comes to the crease
7.5 -
Krunal Pandya to de Kock, out Samson Run Out!! Samson has the habit of being involved in terrible mix-ups. Here, too, he is prised out on the back of a run-out. de Kock slaps it to Harbhajan at backward point, who swoops down on the ball quickly and fires in a throw at the bowler's end, where Krunal gets behind the sticks and takes the bails off. By then, Samson was half way down the pitch and had no chance of getting back. Samson run out (Harbhajan/Krunal Pandya) 6(11)
Krunal Pandya to de Kock, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!
7.4 -
Krunal Pandya to Samson, 1 run, too straight from Pandya, clipped to square leg
7.3 -
Krunal Pandya to Samson, 2 runs, Samson attempts to lift a delivery that was bowled slower through the air, but does not exactly time it. However, Pollard is slow to run across at long-off. Maybe his knee problem is affecting him
7.2 -
Krunal Pandya to Samson, no run, tossed up delivery and on the stumps, Samson turns it to into the on-side
7.1 -
Krunal Pandya to de Kock, 1 run, de Kock pulls it to fine leg for a single. It was shorter in length
Krunal Pandya, left-arm orthodox, comes into the attack
6.6 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, 1 run, flatter delivery and just outside off, driven to extra cover
6.5 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, FOUR, short and wide delivery, de Kock camps back and cracks the cut to the deep backward point boundary. He is using the depth of the crease supebly to the spinner
6.4 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, no run, crackerjack delivery from Harbhajan! Turn and bounce for the veteran spinner. It reminds you of the days when he used to bamboozle the Australians with his venom. de Kock looks to turn it into the on-side and misses it completely. He was pretty much opened up by that delivery
6.3 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, no run, Harbhajan slows it up in the air, de Kock looks to sweep and gets it off the toe-end
6.2 -
Harbhajan to Samson, 1 run, dabbed down to short third man for a single
6.1 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, 1 run, short in length, de Kock cuts it to sweeper cover
"Streaks of lightning can be seen some distance away from the ground," says our correspondent Gokul
Time-Out is in place now.
5.6 -
Bumrah to Samson, no run, fuller length delivery and just outside off, Samson drives it mid-off
5.5 -
Bumrah to Samson, no run, short and a touch of width on offer, Samson cuts it to backward point
5.4 -
Bumrah to Samson, no run, short of length delivery and outside off, Samson drives it on the up to cover
5.3 -
Bumrah to de Kock, 1 run, de Kock push-drives it to mid-off for another single
5.2 -
Bumrah to Samson, 1 run, short of length delivery and on the stumps, Samson nurdles it to short fine leg
5.1 -
Bumrah to Samson, no run, short of length delivery and on the stumps, defended
Jasprit Bumrah, right-arm medium, comes into the attack
4.6 -
Harbhajan to Samson, 1 run, again deliciously flighted from Harbhajan, Samson nudges it to short fine leg. Delectable wrists on display there
4.5 -
Harbhajan to Samson, no run, tossed up delivery and on the stumps, clipped to mid-wicket
Sanju Samson, right handed bat, comes to the crease
4.4 -
Harbhajan to Nair, out Caught by Bumrah!! Now, why would you try to lap it around the corner, when you can land powerful blows down the ground? Perplexing from Nair. Slower through the air from Harbhajan, Nair tries to use the lap shot and finds Bumrah at short fine. Nair c Bumrah b Harbhajan 8(8) [4s-1]
Harbhajan to Nair, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!
4.3 -
Harbhajan to Nair, FOUR, Nair saunters down the track, takes it on the half volley and drills it down the ground. Lovely strike by Nair
4.2 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, 1 run, shorter in length, de Kock cuts it to cover, where Vinay runs around and puts in a desperate dive, but can't prevent the single
4.1 -
Harbhajan to Nair, 1 run, tossed up delivery and on the stumps, turned to short mid-wicket
Harbhajan Singh [1.0-0-10-0] is back into the attack
3.6 -
Vinay to de Kock, FOUR, de Kock is playing an innings, where he is twinning sweetness and power. Short and wide delivery, de Kock flashes at it to the sweeper cover boundary. Despite Pollard putting in a dive and looking to get the ball back into play, he can't succeed in his endeavour. The TV umpire confirms the same
3.5 -
Vinay to de Kock, FOUR, fuller length delivery and outside off, de Kock crunches the drive and it just vrooms away to the boundary boards
3.4 -
Vinay to de Kock, SIX, again Vinay drifts it down leg, de Kock brings out the pick-up shot and it clears the deep backward square leg boundary. The crack of the willow against the leather gave an inkling that it came right off the screws. He is in the mood. He has those fast hands and that makes it very difficult to bowl to him
3.3 -
Vinay to de Kock, FOUR, that was a mind-blowing strike by de Kock. Length delivery and angling down leg, de Kock uses the pick up shot and it zoots away to the backward square leg fence
3.2 -
Vinay to Nair, 1 run, a tad fuller and zooming in on the stumps, Nair turns it to mid-wicket. Vinay's speciality in the Ranji Trophy is to target the stumps and cramp batsmen for room
3.1 -
Vinay to Nair, no run, stump-to-stump line, Nair clips it behind square on the on-side, where the fielder makes a sharp save
2.6 -
McClenaghan to Nair, 1 run, Nair stays leg-side of the ball and steers it to square third man
2.5 -
McClenaghan to de Kock, 1 run, short of length delivery and slanted in, pushed to mid-on
2.4 -
McClenaghan to de Kock, no run, McClenaghan perhaps has the best short delivery going around in this T20 League. When he bangs it short, he bends his back and bowls it outside off. Here, too, he pounds it short and outside off, de Kock initially thought of pulling it, before leaving it alone. That delivery just kicked off the surface
2.3 -
McClenaghan to de Kock, no run, back of a length delivery and angled in, de Kock looks to turn it around the corner and can't connect
2.2 -
McClenaghan to de Kock, SIX, shorter in length, de Kock rocks back and pulls it over deep square leg. McClenaghan did bend his back on that one, but de Kock gave him the fitting riposte
2.1 -
McClenaghan to de Kock, no run, back of a length delivery and outside off, de Kock punches it to backward point
Mitchell McClenaghan, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
1.6 -
Vinay to de Kock, 1 run, short of length delivery and angled in, clipped to mid-wicket
1.5 -
Vinay to Nair, 1 run, good length delivery that jags back in, Nair stays leg-side of the ball and aims to defend, but misses. Vinay goes up in an appeal for lbw, but the angle was taking it down leg. The height might have been an issue, too. In fact, the umpire thought he got an inside edge. However, I can't see any. Eventually, the pair nab in a run on an overthrow from the fielder at backward point
1.4 -
Vinay to Nair, no run, now a short delivery and Vinay bowls it outside off, Nair looks to pull and gets a top-edge to mid-off. Good surprise short one by Vinay
Karun Nair, right handed bat, comes to the crease
1.3 -
Vinay to M Agarwal, out Bowled!! Vinay is pumped up as he comes back into the side and straightaway chugs down his Karnataka team-mate Agarwal. Nothing but a back of a length that was slanted in, Agarwal tries to dab it to third man with an angled bat and chops it onto the pitch and then it rattles the stumps. It might have hit the bat harder than Agarwal expected it to. M Agarwal b Vinay 8(5) [6s-1]
Vinay to M Agarwal, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!
1.2 -
Vinay to de Kock, 1 run, a tad fuller and outside off, de Kock punches it to mid-off
1.1 -
Vinay to de Kock, no run, short and wide delivery, de Kock ushers in the cut, but can't tailor the gap through the backward point region
Vinay Kumar, right-arm medium, comes into the attack
0.6 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, 1 run, too straight from the experienced spinner, de Kock clips it to mid-wicket
0.5 -
Harbhajan to M Agarwal, 1 run, another darter from Harbhajan, pushed to long-on
0.4 -
Harbhajan to M Agarwal, SIX, Agarwal shows his aggressive intent by using the slog-sweep to a quicker delivery to clear the deep backward square leg boundary
0.3 -
Harbhajan to M Agarwal, no run, flatter delivery and on the stumps, turned into the on-side
0.2 -
Harbhajan to de Kock, 1 run, from round the wicket, Harbhajan bowls it flatter through the air and on the stumps, de Kock plays for the turn as he looks to tap it around the corner and gets an inside edge to short fine leg. He has a slip in place
0.1 -
Harbhajan to M Agarwal, 1 run, shorter in length, Agarwal pulls it to deep backward square leg
M Agarwal and de Kock are at the crease. M Agarwal is on strike. Harbhajan will open the attack
