Highlights, IPL Match 10, Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders: DC 185/6 in 20 overs vs KKR 185/8; Super Over: KKR 7/1 vs DC (10/1)
00.15 IST: Ball 6: K Rabada to R Uthappa, 1 run. DELHI WIN BY 3 RUNS!
00.14 IST: Ball 5: K Rabada to D Karthik, 1 run. A very low full toss on middle and off, Karthik paddles it but there is man at third man who runs to his right and saves the boundary with a dive.
00.13 IST: Ball 4: K Rabada to R Uthappa, 1 run. Not a lot you can do with that. A yorker on off, Uthappa jams it out towards point for a run. 6 in 2.
*Robbie Uthappa comes out to bat.
00.12 IST: Ball 3: K Rabada to A Russell, OUT! BOWLED! The middle stump has gone for a walk! 4/1, 3 balls. 7 needed. What a ball.
00.12 IST: Ball 2: Rabada to Russell, no run Brilliant yorker on leg, Russell cannot do anything but just jam it out.
00.12 IST: Ball 1: K Rabada to A Russell, FOUR. A good delivery but an excellent shot. A boundary to begin with. A low full toss on the pads, it is flicked through square leg for a boundary.
00.10 IST: 10 runs is what Delhi have managed! Kolkata will surely be the happier side now. Just the one bad ball bowled by Prasidh Krishna which was hit for a boundary, on the rest of the deliveries, he was spot on with his variation. Pant never got hit timing right and the question can surely be raised, why wasn't Shaw sent out to bat. Now though it is on their bowlers to defend this it will be the visitors who would be the favourites. It is a no-brainier as Russell is the one walking out, the question is who would partner him? Dinesh Karthik? Chris Lynn? Well, it is the former, the skipper is leading from the front and taken the onus on him.
*Terrific bowling from Prasidh Krishna. Full and outside off, pretty wide and slower in pace, Pant looks to play the reverse sweep but only gets a top edge. The ball lands in front of Dinesh Karthik.
00.05 IST: Ball 6: P Krishna to R Pant, 1 run. DELHI FINISH ON 10/1.
00.04 IST: Ball 5: P Krishna to R Pant, 2 runs, Slower and shorter in length. Pant gets no timing behind it as he pulls it through mid-wicket and runs two.
00.03 IST: Ball 4: P Krishna to R Pant, 2 runs. Full and wide outside off, Pant reaches out and slices it over cover. Chawla gets across from wide long off and keeps the batsmen to a couple.
00.02 IST: Ball 3: P Krishna to S Iyer, OUT! In the air.. taken! Iyer holes out. Prasidh corrects his line and length as he bowls it full and on off. The ball was there to be hit but Iyer does not get the timing behind it. Ends up hitting it high up in the air towards long off. Chawla settles under it and takes it.
00.01 IST: Ball 2: P Krishna to S Iyer, FOUR! Poor bowling.
00.01 IST: Ball 1: P Krishna to Pant, 1 run, Pant pulls the short ball to deep mid-wicket. A single to begin.
00.00 IST: Now it is the hosts who will be batting first as they were batting second. The two batsmen walking out are Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant. Prasidh Krishna is given the responsibility to bowl it.
*Delhi have thrown it away and out of the blues Kolkata have taken this to the Super Over. 18 were required off 18 but Delhi have somehow lost the plot. Pant played a few reckless shot before giving his wicket away. Shaw after a tremendous innings was unfortunate to miss out on a top by a run. 6 were needed in the last over and Kuldeep and it was Kuldeep who held his nerve and given Kolkata another change to take all two points.
23.52 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Colin Ingram, OUT RUN OUT! We have a SUPER OVER! Ingram sweeps it through square leg. They take one and then go for the second. Uthappa picks the ball up and throws it to the keeper who collects it and whips the bails off.
23.51 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Hanuma Vihari, OUT! VIHARI HOLES OUT! 2 needed in 1 now. Kuldeep bowls it slightly short and it is the googly. Hanuma looks to pull it against the turn but does not get it off the middle. It goes towards Gill at deep mid-wicket who takes it with ease.
23.46 IST: Lockie Ferguson to Colin Ingram, FOUR! Ingram does not think there is any twist in the tale. He belters this short ball on off over mid-wicket for a boundary. DC 178/4 in 18.4 overs
*Hanuma Vihari walks in at 6
23.43 IST: Lockie Ferguson to Prithvi Shaw, OUT c Dinesh Karthik b Lockie Ferguson. Would you believe it? On 99 Prithvi does not look to run it down to third man or anything. He looks to pull it over the mid-wicket fence. He top edges it and the ball lobs up high in the air. It goes to the right of Dinesh Karthik. He calls for the catch and takes it. An excellent knock from the young star comes to an end. To the sheer disappointment of the crowd and for him he departs. Is there the twist in the tale? 12 from 9 needed and two new batmen out in the middle. Delhi Capitals have lost their fourth wicket. DC 174/4 in 18.3 overs
*Colin Ingram is the new man in.
23.37 IST: OUT! Kuldeep removes Pant 11(15). Pant has thrown it away. Very reckless and poor from someone who has international experience under his belt. He has probably given Kolkata a sniff here. DC 170/3 in 17.5 overs vs KKR (185/8) in Delhi
23.33 IST: FOUR! MISFIELD! It is from the last man you would expect, Andre Russell. Shaw now only 5 runs away. This is on a length and around off, Shaw drives it straight down the ground. Russell makes good ground to his left but lets the ball through. Three boundaries in the over.
23.30 IST: FOUR! 15 short of a ton now! Poor delivery to begin with. Down the leg side with fine leg up is a bad idea. Shaw flicks it to the fine leg fence.
23.23 IST: Lockie Ferguson to Shaw, FOUR! He will also play the cut shot if you offer width. It is short once again and outside off. Shaw waits for it and cuts it over point for the second boundary in the over. DC 149/2 in 15.3 overs
23.22 IST: Lockie Ferguson to Shaw, FOUR! Too easy at the moment for Shaw. You bowl full he will drive you, you bowl short he will pull you. This is what he does here, gets it behind square and the ball races to the fence. DC 145/2 in 15.2 overs
*Lockie Ferguson replaces Prasidh Krishna.
23.19 IST: Piyush Chawla to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Top class! Not a very bad delivery this. It is fired slightly short and around off. Shaw goes back and then punches it over covers for another boundary. DC 138/2 in 14.5 overs
23.14 IST: Prasidh to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! That is smoked. Good length delivery on middle and leg, Pant pulls it through square leg for a boundary. DC 132/2 in 13.5 overs
23.12 IST: Nitish Rana to Rishabh Pant, A loud cheer as the screen flashes NOT OUT! A direct hit though would have seen Pant walking back. He smashes this through extra cover. Russell does really well to get across to his right and collect the ball. The batsmen complete one by then. Now, Shaw wants a second but Pant is a bit hesitant. He eventually goes for it. Russell though throws the ball at the wrong end which is the non-striker's end. Rana catches the ball and then fires it to Karthik who whips the bails off and appeals. The umpire takes it upstairs and replays show that Pant is safe. 9 from Rana's first that too with not much risk taken.
23.08 IST: Nitish Rana to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! No matter who the bowler is tonight, Shaw has no respite for anyone. Welcomes Rana with a boundary. Short and outside off, Prithvi plays it late and through point for a boundary. Ideal start to the over. DC 120/2 in 12.1 overs
*Rishabh Pant is the new man in. Nitish Ranan is on now.
23.06 IST: Andre Russell to Shreyas Iyer, OUT c Shubman Gill b Andre Russell. Delhi Capitals have lost their second wicket.
23.05 IST: Andre Russell to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Shubman Gill look away right now. Full again from Russell. It is outside off, Shreyas slaps this over cover for a boundary.
23.04 IST: Andre Russell to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! How has Shubman Gill dropped that? That should have been taken.Full-lengthh delivery on middle and leg, Iyer flicks it uppishly towards deep mid-wicket. Shubman Gill stationed there takes it too lightly and drops a simple catch. Not only that it goes for a boundary too. DC 112/2 in 11.4 overs
23.03 IST: Andre Russell to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Wow! That one is going into the highlight reel of the season. Full-length delivery on middle the pads, Shaw helicopter flicks it. Yes, helicopter flicks it over square leg for a boundary. DC 107/1 in 11.2 overs
22.58 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! You bet, they can! 20 from this one and that also brings up 50 for Shaw. What a talent this guy is. Just brilliant, the shots he plays, the conviction he plays it with is just joy to watch. Gets there with a top-class sweep shot through square leg. It is in the gap and it results in a boundary. Needs to be there though, he can't relax. Delhi need another 84 in the last 9 overs with 9 wickets in hand. This over probably changes the momentum in the favor of the hosts. DC 96/1 in 10.5 overs
22.58 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Prithvi Shaw, SIX! Well, the Delhi batsmen are not happy with one and Shaw has just smacked another biggie in the over. What a shot this is. Uses the feet and also makes room. He goes inside out over covers. The timing is such that it carries all the way. 14 from the four balls bowled so far. DC 96/1 in 10.5 overs
22.57 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! THAT IS COLOSSAL! Yes, it was a freebie but it still has to be put away! Short and it sits up to be hit. Iyer rocks back and pulls it into the mid-wicket stands. A boundary per over is what they need, they have got their one in this over. DC 89/1 in 10.2 overs
22.53 IST: Lockie Ferguson to Shreyas Iyer, WIDE! Down the leg side, Iyer looks to pull but misses.
22.52 IST: Lockie Ferguson to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! That went to the fence in a jiffy! Woah! Short and on middle, Iyer gets on top of the bounce and pulls it hard through mid-wicket for a boundary. DC 79/1 in 9.2 overs
*The strategic break has been signaled! Delhi going along really well here but they need to continue this. Their captain is striking the ball well and so is Shaw but there is still a long way to go. Kolkata on the other hand, will be eager to break this stand quickly as it is looking dangerous.
22.46 IST: Chawla to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! Shreyas has decided to take on the leggie. Fuller delivery on leg, Iyer takes his front leg out of the line and smokes this over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. DC 72/1 in 8.3 overs
22.44 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Prithvi Shaw, SIX! A biggie end to end! A much-needed big over for the hosts. 13 from it. Once again a little too full on middle, the turn is out of contention. Shaw clears his front leg and sends it over the long off fence. 122 needed in 72. DC 64/1 in 8 overs
22.43 IST: Kuldeep Yadav to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Powered! This should get him going! Kuldeep is guilty of bowling it a little too full. Iyer gets under it and smacks it straight down the ground. No fielder there and a much-needed boundary. DC 57/1 in 7.4 overs
*Kuldeep Yadav is on now.
22.40 IST: Piyush Chawla to Prithvi Shaw, 50 up for Delhi. A solid start from them. They have lost a wicket but are going about at it with a good run rate. Shaw comes down the track and nudges it towards mid-wicket to get his team's total to 50.
*End of Powerplay
22.34 IST: Russell to Shaw, SIX! This was six the moment it left the bat. Shorter delivery on middle, Shaw rocks onto his back foot and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence for a beautiful six. DC 44/1 in 5.3 overs
22.33 IST: Russell to Shaw, FOUR! Overpitched delivery on off and with no long off it was asking to be hit. Shaw obliges and lofts it over mid off for a boundary. DC 38/1 in 5.2 overs
22.25 IST: Piyush Chawla to Shreyas Iyer, Dot to end the over. 1 runs off the over but more importantly a wicket. The last ball is also short on off and middle, Shreyas blocks it. Eventful first over from Chawla.
*Shreyas Iyer is the new man in.
22.23 IST: Piyush Chawla to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! Chawla has the last laugh. After being hit for a boundary and a six off the first two balls, Chawla shows courage and tosses it up on off, Dhawan looks to hit it over the mid off fielder but hits it hard and straight to him. Andre Russell there takes a simple catch. Can't keep Andre out of the game tonight. DC 27/1 in 2.4 overs
22.20 IST: Piyush Chawla to Shikhar Dhawan, SIX! This is even better. Flighted delivery on the pads, Dhawan gets on one knee and slog sweeps it over the square leg fence for a maximum. DC 27/1 in 2.3 overs
22.15 IST: Piyush Chawla to Shikhar Dhawan, In the air....and four. Dhawan looks to be in an aggressive mode here. Flighted outside off, Dhawan comes down the track and slaps it over the mid off fielder for a boundary.
22.12 IST: Lockie Ferguson to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Up and over! The second boundary in the over! 10 from it. Full and on middle, Dhawan lofts it over wide mid on and the ball crosses the ropes. Good positive start from the hosts' openers. DC 16/0 in 2 overs
22.10 IST: Lockie Ferguson to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Too full and on the pads, easy pickings for Shaw. He flicks it through mid-wicket and the ball races away to the fence.
22.05 IST: Prasidh Krishna to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Beautiful shot this from Shaw. Back of a length delivery on off and middle, Shaw rocks onto his back foot and whacks his pull through mid-wicket for a boundary. 6 off the first over.
21.56 IST: Kolkata Knight Riders score 185/8 in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in New Delhi. Russell 62, Karthik 50
21.53 IST: FOUR! KKR 184/7 in 19.5 overs
21.51 IST: FOUR! 'You expect better from Rabada. That really is sloppy bowling,' says an angry Kevin Pietersen on air. A low full toss outside off, Kuldeep backs away and steers it behind point! KKR 175/7 in 19.1 overs
21.58 IST: OUT! Karthik walks. Good catch by Pant. Short and wide outside off, spinning further away, Karthik reaches out to cut but misses. Pant starts to appeal but DK walks. Sportsman. Amit removes DK for 50. KKR 170/7 in 18.4 overs
21.45 IST: SIX! Piyush Chawla! Where did that come from?! KKR 162/6 in 18.1 overs
21.43 IST: OUT! Morris removes Russell for 62. Kolkata Knight Riders 156/6 in 17.5 Overs
21.41 IST: FOUR! Cut and through the gaps! Lovely batting! Full ball on off, Russell opens the bat face and guides it uppishly over the point fielder for a boundary. Lovely batting here from the West Indian. KKR 156/5 in 17.4 overs
21.39 IST: FOUR! Russell Muscle is taking over Kotla! Morris bowls it full and on off, Andree pulls it to mid-wicket. The ball raced away to the fence like a bullet. KKR 150/5 in 17.2 overs
21.36 IST: FOUR! FIFTY for Russell in 24 balls. Wow! Short and outside off, Russell swings hard and gets it over mid-wicket, one bounce and into the fence! KKR 145/5 in 16.3 overs
21.32 IST: SIX! There's no stopping Russell at the moment! That's into the orbit! New ball please, this one is out of here. Well, if you have seen Russell in the last two games in the death overs, you would know that you don't bowl there to him. KKR 138/5 in 16 overs
21.31 IST: SIX! Russell goes big and really big! 98 metres all the way! Number 5 for Russell. Do not bowl it there to him. Length. Outside off. Cannon. Missile speed. Powered over long on. What a hit. KKR 131/5 in 115.5 overs
21.28 IST: FOUR! BEAUTY! There is a giant at the other end while here this guy is a peace-maker. What a gentle caressing shot. Overpitched outside off, Karthik leans and drives it through the covers! KKR 122/5 in 15.1 overs
21.26 IST: SIX! Smashed! That's a maximum! This one is in Russell's arc and he hits it straight out of the park. Morris bowls a full ball on middle and Russell hits it off the middle of the bat and over the bowler's head. You don't bowl there to him. KKR 118/5 in 15 overs
21.26 IST: FOUR BYES! Strays down the leg side , Russell looks to flick but just gets hit on the pads and the ball races to fine leg fence. KKR 112/5 in 14.5 overs
*Shreyas Iyer asks him whether he is fine and he initially says yes but then calls for the physio. Looks to be an ankle sprain. Replays show that Chris landed very awkwardly on his right ankle while about to deliver the ball.
21.24 IST: Another problem. This time for the bowler. Morris has pulled out of his delivery stride. He just stands there mid-pitch, on his haunches, before the umpire asks him of his well-being.
21.20 IST: FOUR! That is unlucky for Morris. A terrific yorker, outside off, Russell is late to get his bat down and gets an inside edge. But, it zips past the stumps to the fine leg fence!
* Common sense prevails. With the batsman being not too comfortable yet, the second strategic break has been signalled. This particular event could have a telling blow on either side. If Russell does not recover, Kolkata might struggle to get to even 150. On the flip side, if Dre Russ recovers, beware Delhi - 101/5 could end up at 181/5. CHRIS MORRIS IS BACK ON. 2-0-11-0 so far.
* There is a bit of a delay here. Russell is not at all comfortable. The physio is out in the middle, giving him a bit of a rub on the left shoulder. The umpires are having a chat with Karthik, probably asking the physio to hurry up.
21.13 IST: FREE HIT! Short ball outside off, Russell pulls it hard but straight to the fielder at deep mid-wicket who takes the catch but it is a free hit so one run scored.
21.10 IST: OOPS! Russell is down! My word... that was a bullet to a tank. Fired from Harshal, a high full toss but it is totally out of control. He is hit on the left shoulder and is straightaway down, wincing in pain. Half the Delhi team is beside him, calming him but the bowler is busy arguing with the umpire as to how can that be a no ball. But the umpire is firm and signals it a no ball. Meanwhile, the physio is out in the middle...
21.02 IST: FOUR! Lovely timing. This outfield is lightning quick. Full on middle, Karthik leans and flicks it through mid-wicket. Once the ball makes contact with the turf, it just races away. KKR 94/5 in 12.2 overs
21.00 IST: SIX! Back to back maximums here! Colossal! Russell is changing the tempo pretty quickly here. Tossed up outside off, brave enough from Lamichhane but Russell does not spare him. Leans and sends this flying over long off! 17 from the over. KKR 90/5 in 12 overs
21.00 IST: SIX! Russell on fire! Don't think he middled that at all but doesn't matter. That is Dre Russ' power. Full and around middle, Russell looks to swing hard but the ball goes off the inner half of the bat. Clears deep mid-wicket! KKR 83/5 in 11.5 overs
20.59 IST: FOUR! Smashed and DK is finds the gap easily! That's a classic pull shot from DK. He reads the lengh early and rocks back to this full ball and pulls it hard to deep mid wicket and into the boundary. KKR 77/5 in 11.3 overs
20.55 IST: Amit Mishra to Andre Russell, SIX! BLAST! BLAST! There comes number 1. Full and outside off, right in the arc, Russell leans and bludgeons it over long off!
KKR 71/5 in 7.2 overs
20.54 IST: Sandeep Lamichhane to Andre Russell, Another tossed up ball on off, Andre drives it to mid on and takes a run.
* Andre Russell walks in at number 7, replacing Gill.
20.50 IST: Sandeep Lamichhane to Shubman Gill, OUT! That is a run out! Rabada is clean and Gill is out of here. Delhi now have half their side back in the hut.
* Is that a boundary? Is that a run out? Delhi are appealing for a run out against Gill but all that will be waste if Rabada's leg has touched the ropes. Referred upstairs...
* Strategic time-out
20.44 IST: Amit Mishra to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR.
20.42 IST: Amit Mishra to Dinesh Karthik, Another tossed up ball on the pads, Karthik flicks it on the leg side for a single.
* Amit Mishra into the attack now.
20.39 IST: Harshal Patel to Dinesh Karthik, SIX. Terrific shot! A short ball, on middle, Karthik swivels and pulls it over square leg!
* Shubman Gill eventually comes out to bat at number 6, replacing Rana.
20.37 IST: Harshal Patel to Nitish Rana, OUT! Caught! Another wicket goes down and Harshal has his second. Guess what, he is on a hat-trick too, as he dismissed Uthappa on his previous delivery. This is a bonus wicket though.
20.35 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Chris Lynn, OUT! CAUGHT! Big wicket here for Delhi as they send Lynn back to the hut. Rabada bowls a quick short ball and Lynn tries to pull it but gets his gloves on it and Pant behind takes a wonderful left-handed catch.
20.32 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Chris Lynn, Bowls in on the pads this time, Lynn flicks it to the on side and takes a single.
* Nitish Rana walks in at number 4, replacing Uthappa. Rabada comes back as well. 1-0-12-0 so far.
20.30 IST: Harshal Patel to Robin Uthappa, OUT! Another LBW! Harshal is flying and has the last laugh. The previous ball was a wonderful cut on the walk. Now, Harshal has sent Robbie on a walk.
20.28 IST: Harshal Patel to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! Magnificent cut shot! Short and outside off, Uthappa walks into the shot and plays a lovely cut shot, piercing the gap behind point. Not a soul in place and the ball races away!
* Harshal Patel to bowl now.
20.23 IST: Chris Morris to Chris Lynn, FOUR! PULLED HARD! Morris goes for the short ball here and and Lynn rocks back and launches onto it. He pulls it hard and connects this time and the ball races to the fence. KKR 30/1 in 4.5 Overs
20.22 IST: Chris Morris to Chris Lynn, FOUR! Driven! Back of a length ball outside off, Lynn drives it uppishly and overs the covers for a boundary. Second boundary for him.
20.20 IST: Sandeep Lamichhane to Robin Uthappa, FOUR! Off the mark in style! This is floated up around off, it is a little too full. Uthappa leans into it and strokes it through cover-point for a boundary.
* Robin Uthappa is the new man in.
20.17 IST: Sandeep Lamichhane to Nikhil Naik, OUT! No bat, three reds and Naik takes a review along with him. Not sure why he took that review as you would always know if you have hit the ball or not as a batsman and this time there was day-light between bat and ball. KKR 16/1 in 3.4 Overs
20.10 IST: Chris Morris to Nikhil Naik, Swing and a miss! Naik dances down the track and has a wild swing to this ball outside off but misses by a long way.
* Bowling change, Chris Morris into attack
20.08 IST: Sandeep Lamichhane to Nikhil Naik, NOT OUT! That is a long way away from the bat! A shocker of a review there and Delhi have lost their only review in as early as the second over. The leggie this time and it is outside off. Naik looks to guide it down to third man but he seems to have missed it. Pant takes it and appeals. The umpire shakes his head. Pant convinces his captain to take it upstairs and he does so. Replays roll in and they show there is absolutely nothing.
* Review time! A huge appeal for a caught behind but the umpire heard nothing. Delhi though have reviewed.
20.07 IST: Sandeep Lamichhane to Nikhil Naik, Gives it nice amount of air on off, Naik strokes it back to the bowler. Three dots to begin.
* Lamichhane to bowl from the other end.
20.04 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Chris Lynn, FOUR. Pure timing that! Finesses from Lynn. You do not normally see that. Second boundary in the over. Fuller in length and around off, Lynn leans into it and strokes it through covers. KKR 10/0 in 0.5 Over
20.03 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Chris Lynn, EDGED BUT SHORT! Maybe the first slip fielder is a little too deep on a slow wicket. Length and around off, Lynn plays it with an open face. The ball though goes off the outside edge and Dhawan takes it on the bounce.
20.02 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Nikhil Naik, WIDE! The outswinger this time but it is way outside off. Wided.
20.01 IST: Kagiso Rabada to Nikhil Naik, FOUR! A boundary to begin proceedings! A stroke of luck there for Naik. A length delivery and around off, this one comes back in. Naik looks to defend but it goes off the inside edge, past the off pole and to the fine leg boundary.
