END OF OVER:
20 | 17 Runs 1 Wkt | KKR: 175/8 | RR: 8.75

  • Jagadeesha Suchith3-0-32-1
  • Bhuvneshwar Kumar4-0-37-1

Jansen picked up 1/26 to dismiss Finch early. Shreyas and Rana then had a mini-partnership before Rana and Russell took KKR to 175. However, looking at the way the SRH pacers bowled, Umesh Yadav & co. would be licking their lips. Not much dew, should be a riveting chase. KK can't wait for it to get underway.

Marco Jansen: Was feeling as if I was bowling at Jo'burg back home. I feel it is a good total and we can chase it down. Because of the pace of the wicket, we felt the short ball was a good option, apart from the change of pace. We didn't really discuss the pitch but talked about adapting quickly.

9:24pm Not much dew yet and KKR should be happy with what they have got. It yet again needed a Russell blitz for them to get to a total they can be confident of. 49 off just 25 balls, after weathering the early storm that was Umran Malik. Nitish Rana did his bit too, scoring a fifty after 19 innings. But Umran and Natarajan were just superb, sharing five wickets between them.

Suchith to Russell, FOUR, Poor from Suchith! Fired on the pads, Russell manages to get some bat as the ball goes to the fine leg fence. As far as Suchith and Sunrisers are concerned, it's a win that it didn't go the distance. 17 off the final over.

How does Suchith finish this? Just a single and a wicket in the first three balls but two sixes after that.

19.5
6
Suchith to Russell, SIX, Not the length he must be bowling. Short again, Russell heaves it over wide long-on for another six.

This is still a good over from Suchith.

Suchith to Russell, SIX, This has gone the distance. Was almost similar to the ball that got Aman. But Russell deposits it way over deep midwicket.

Suchith to Russell, no run, Excellent ball. Fuller outside off, slapped straight to long-off. No run.

Suchith aborts after getting to the bowling crease.

Deep square leg, deep midwicket, long-on, long-off. Russell waits as fielders take their positions.

Suchith to Yadav, 1 run, Umesh still manages to get a single and get Russell back on strike! Punches it with soft hands towards where short mid-on was. Rahul got to the ball but couldn't gather it. A single results.

Umesh Yadav will have a role to play with the ball in these seaming conditions. That's for later though. Now he's out in the middle with the bat. Fielders are in to stop the single.

Suchith to Aman Hakim Khan, OUT, Cleans up Aman Khan! A spinner and his deception skills. Was bowled with the index finger and the thumb, angling in to Aman. He goes for the swipe across the line but misses and loses his leg stump. Russell off-strike still, just what Sunrisers wanted.

Aman Hakim Khan b Suchith 5 (6m 3b 1x4 0x6) SR: 166.66

Aman Khan will be on strike as Jagadeesha Suchith comes on for the last over. Spin in the final over. What exactly did Muralidaran tell him during that strategic break? Lots of changes in the field.

END OF OVER:

Kumar to Russell, no run, Perfect ball from Bhuvi! Nails the yorker and Russell can only dig it out to midwicket. No chance of a single.

Mini-conference. Williamson, Kumar and Natarajan. Midwicket is well in.

Kumar to Aman Hakim Khan, FOUR, Wow! What a touch! Length ball outside off, reaches out and hits it over extra cover. Has enough for him to get four.

Debutant Aman Khan. Who is he? Fine leg goes back, midwicket inside the circle.

18.3

Kumar to Cummins, OUT, Catching practice for Jansen. Length ball outside off, it was the legcutter. Cummins gets more height than distance. Long-on runs in and completes it easily.

Kumar to Russell, 1 leg bye, Very full on the pads, gets an inside edge to the on side for one.

Kumar to Russell, 2 runs, In the air but lands in the vacant wide long-off region. Was a length ball and Russell gets two.

Bhuvneshwar for the penultimate over. Must get Russell out. Shashank to bowl the final over, as the skipper signaled him to get ready.

Natarajan to Cummins, 2 runs, Excellent running. Cummins digs out the yorker towards midwicket and hares for the first. Completes the second too as Natarajan chases the ball and throws it to the keeper off balance.

Natarajan to Russell, 1 run, Almost nailed the yorker and also ran the non-striker out. Russell manages to smash it back but it goes off Natarajan's hand past the stumps at the other end for one.

Natarajan to Cummins, 1 run, Low full toss on the pads, hit aerially towards deep square leg for one.

Pat Cummins in next.

Natarajan to Rana, OUT, Natarajan gets his man! Or does he? Rana moved away to smash one over the off side as Natarajan spears one full outside off. Seemed to be a sound as he missed and the ball went to the keeper. The keeper and the bowler appealed but the umpire stayed unmoved. Sunrisers take it upstairs and find that there's a spike as the ball passes the bat. Rana has to depart. There was a definite sound in real time too.

N Rana c †Pooran b Natarajan 54 (69m 36b 6x4 2x6) SR: 150.00

Natarajan to Rana, FOUR, Aims for the yorker but bowls it full in the slot on off. Rana holds his shape and hits it over the umpire and gets four.

Natarajan. Still no fifth-bowler over. Over the wicket to Rana.

Kumar to Russell, FOUR, Just wide of deep square leg! Full and on the pads, Russell whips it aerially to the on side. Abhishek runs to his left from long leg and puts the dive but it was just out of reach. Lands just short of the boundary cushions.

Straight mid-off as well as a long-off in place. No fine leg.

Kumar to Russell, SIX, Onto Marine Drive! Length ball outside off, enough width on offer. Russell clears the front leg and thumps it over wide long-on for a 99-metre hit.

Kumar to Russell, no run, The yorker is always a top bowl, irrespective who the batter is. Kumar nails one on middle and leg, De Russ does well to dig it out. Gives the ball back to the bowler with a thumbs up.

Kumar to Russell, 1 wide, Sprayed well wide outside off, Russell doesn't bother reaching.

SUJAL: "A very important question I want to ask, Did Umran touched 150kph today?" 149.6 was the fastest, iirc. Was hit for a six over third man by Rana.
