END OF OVER:
20 | 12 Runs 2 Wkts | PBKS: 157/8 (1 run required, RR: 7.85)

  • Mohammed Shami0 (0b)
  • Marcus Stoinis3-0-29-2
  • Kagiso Rabada4-0-28-2

10:01pm KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran are the batsmen. Rabada with the ball. 9:56pm Kings XI will be miffed. Not least because 18.3 was a contentious short run call. Jordan turned for the second and it didn't appear like it was a short run. They then needed one off three and have somehow managed to find themselves in a Super Over, despite two full tosses in the last two balls. Wow. Once again, somehow, with Stoinis involved, Delhi Capitals stay alive in the game. They will, of course, have the ball for the Super Over.

W
Stoinis to Jordan, OUT, he's hit a full toss straight to square leg! Low full toss at leg stump, flicked firmly and Rabada with the magix reflexes to force a super over

CJ Jordan c Rabada b Stoinis 5 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 83.33

Stoinis v Jordan. Redemption time for Jordan now...1 required off 1...

19.5
W
Stoinis to Agarwal, OUT, he's found sweeper cover! Can you believe it! All fielders in the circle, only the sweeper back. It's a full toss wide outside off. He swishes at it, just trying to guide it, but he's found Hetmyer! Oh he'll kick himself for this. What an innings it has been, falls just short of taking them over

MA Agarwal c Hetmyer b Stoinis 89 (60b 7x4 4x6) SR: 148.33

Stoinis to Agarwal, no run, beaten. Short and wide outside off, looks to play the hook and it's well beaten. But they can afford that now. It's also the bouncer out of the equation for the next two balls
19.3
4
Stoinis to Agarwal, FOUR, he's tied it! Incredible! Full ball at the stumps, backs away once more and slices it to long-off's left. Mohit with the big dive to get a hand on that, but it gets tangled up in his body as he makes connection with the boundary padding

Five runs off four

19.2
2
Stoinis to Agarwal, 2 runs, yorker at middles stump, squeezed down to long-on's right and once again Jordan is back for the second Mayank has to dive as the throw comes in at his end
19.1
6
Stoinis to Agarwal, SIX, long long way over the bowler! Full and floated up at the stumps, Mayank lines it up with his leg well into the leg side and crunches it

They need 13 off 6. Here is Stoinis. He brought the target to this single handedly. He has to finish it now...

END OF OVER:
19 | 12 Runs | PBKS: 145/6 (13 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 7.63, RRR: 13.00)

18.6
1
Rabada to Agarwal, 1 run, low full toss outside off, gets down and taps it to extra cover to keep strike for the final over
18.5
2
Rabada to Agarwal, 2 runs, just clears extra cover. Low full toss at off stump, backs away and looks to open the face. Barely gets it over...looks like it's a run short though even though they're back for the second. Addendum: The short run was given for 18.3, but was registered by the commentator after this ball
18.4
4
Rabada to Agarwal, FOUR, Iyer drops it at deep midwicket! Short ball into the body, a tired aerial pull. Floated to Iyer's left and he has the reverse cups up and almost no balance as this digs into the turf and lifts over the line
18.3
1
Rabada to Agarwal, 1 run, another perfect yorker and he jams it down to long-on. Jordan quickly back for the second. Mayank on the fringes of his fitness right now, huffing and puffing.
18.2
4
Rabada to Agarwal, FOUR, over Rabada and into the boundary. Full at middle. Mayank waiting in the leg side again with his front leg. Just misses fractionally and he gets the perfect connection to get this over the bowler. His highest IPL score
18.1
0
Rabada to Agarwal, no run, perfect yorker. Follows him down leg side, pins his toes as he looks to flick this. Rabada is so so good at this

Towels, water, two substitues. KXIP will give Mayank whatever he needs right now. 25 off 12 with a Rabada over coming up. What's he thinking? 10 runs? Will he back himself to get 15 against Stoinis in the 20th? Our forecaster has their win probability at 18.1%

END OF OVER:

Sharma to Jordan, no run, swing he does, but can't connect. Disappointed too, because this was there in the slot. Good length and just outside off

Surely a free swing here for Jordan?

He's tiring out, Mayank. Signals to the dugout.

17.5
1
Sharma to Agarwal, 1 run, length at middle stump, punched firmly down to long-on
17.4
2
Sharma to Agarwal, 2 runs, length at middle, soft-handed poke into the vacant midwicket region. Big boundary there and once again, Jordan is already back for the second before Mayank can call
17.3
6
Sharma to Agarwal, SIX, clears long-off! The rhythm is back for Mayank! Full slower ball, back of the hand, at off stump. He had already shaped to hit that off the front foot, but he had to adjust. Waited and waited and then drilled it flat and straight

Ganesh: "Waiting for stoinis vs jordan again"

17.2
2
Sharma to Agarwal, 2 runs, short ball just outside off, pulled firmly off the front foot to deep midwicket's left. Loud call for two and Jordan does his part brilliantly
17.1
6
Sharma to Agarwal, SIX, slices it over the backward point boundary to bring up fifty. Good length ball flung wide outside off. On his back knee and deliberately slashes this. To sweeper's left. He's keeping them interested

END OF OVER:
17 | 11 Runs | PBKS: 116/6 (42 runs required from 18 balls, RR: 6.82, RRR: 14.00)

  • Mayank Agarwal48 (44b)
  • Chris Jordan5 (4b)
  • Anrich Nortje4-0-33-0
  • Kagiso Rabada3-0-16-2

42 needed off 18. One Rabada over in there. Stoinis and Mohit for the other two, you'd imagine. Yes, Mohit to bowl the 18th. Agarwal on strike.

16.6
1
Nortje to Agarwal, 1 run, low full toss at leg stump, driven firmly to long-on
16.5
1
Nortje to Jordan, 1 run, length at middle stump, mistimed slog trickles down to long-on
16.4

Nortje to Agarwal, 1 run, length outside off, driven on the rise to extra cover
16.3

Nortje to Agarwal, FOUR, sweetly timed again. Length ball at the stumps, backs into the leg side and carves it to sweeper's right
