END OF OVER:
20 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | SRH: 141/7 | RR: 7.05

  • Harshal Patel4-0-33-3
  • Mohammed Siraj3-0-17-0

Anon: "Harshal Patel has the most wickets by an Indian in the IPL. Now that would make for an interesting trivia question a decade from now. "

Matt: "141 looks plenty runs on this pitch when you have 8 overs of Rashid and Kumar, RCB to have an early collapse and fall 20 runs short "

Kiran Bhanushal: "I think that holder run out decision was a bit hasty. There was still a bail on when harshal broke the stump which would imply the stump didn't have to be uprooted for the run out to be impacted" --- Yeah it's probably why the umpire went back for another look and confirmed Holder was in.

Kapil Baldawa: "Very ordinary batting again. Just one dimensional. Amazing how Nabi n Suchith don't get a look in ahead of Holder and Rashid. You are any way out, why not give the other guys chance to perform? "

James : "Varun, your point about opponents playing out Rashid is well made. Does it show on his economy rate?" --- Don't have a comparison for you because it's tough tl dig it all up while on comms, but his economy since the start of the 2020 season is 5.71.

Satish Kunchaku: "@Varun, agreed. Same thing happened with Bhuvi as well, both in IPL and international cricket. Batsman started playing him out carefully and score of the other bowlers, although there are other reasons that led to his below par performances recently"

7.45pm So it looked for the first time in a while that SRH were in control of the innings - a 70-run partnership between Roy and Williamson had them at 84 for 1 at one point. But a seven-ball sequence from the start of the 15th over that cost them three wickets completely threw them off in the end and they might feel 10 or 15 short on a pitch where 10 or 15 have been tough to get. Himanshu will be back with you for the chase shortly.

Patel to Holder, OUT, holes out to long-on! It's another three-for for Harshal. Full dipping slower ball outside off, he waits and has a slog, but can only get height on this and not a lot of distance

Patel to Rashid Khan, 1 run, full and into the stumps, has a quick whip at it and sends it straight to deep midwicket in the deep. Not out, of course, because it's a free hit, but they only run a single

Patel to Rashid Khan, no run, run-out chance at the non-striker's end after Rashid clatters a back-foot shot into it. Slower ball, short of a length and at off stump, pulled into the stumps and Holder is running. The ball rolls out on the pitch and Holder now has to run back. Harshal grabs the ball in one hand and pulls a stump out with the other. But Holder is back in

Mohammed Siraj to Rashid Khan, no run, nails the yorker outside off once again. Lovely execution this. Rashid has a chop and can't get bat on it

Shafiq: "Rashid Khan was expected to get better and more effective with experience but unfortunately that did not happen. You might not agree but he does not do justice to the wicket taking tag to his name. If you do the statistic, you will find that he has taken more wickets in his early matches compare to recent ones. " --- It was bound to slow down (his SR). We must consider that batters are happy playing him out defensively in this line-up, because they can go after the others.

Patel to Holder, FOUR, and another! Good length offcutter outside off, Holder reaches out and has a stab at it with an angled bat. Gets a thick inside edge past short fine

Abhinav: "Honestly no player is worth retaining for srh as they all can be easily bought for much lower prices in the auction. Even Rashid Khan can be easily bought for less than 15 crores and if not, you always have the rtm card"

Patel to Saha, OUT, taken at long-off! Outfoxes him with the offcutter again, but this time has him hitting it where he wants. This is closer to off stump, Saha gets more of the middle of the bat on it, but has no timing as he tries to go over extra cover. It lobs harmlessly for AB coming in from long-off

Dezz: "Why does everyone keep shouting about retaining Williamson? Bairstow has been way more of an asset."

Darshin: "While most teams are facing the dilemma on which players to let go, SRH shall have the most relaxed auction, no stress on which ones to retain, just let go everyone and start all over again "
