END OF OVER:
20 | 18 Runs 2 Wkts | DC: 221/8 | RR: 11.05

  • Kuldeep Yadav5 (2b)
  • Sandeep Sharma4-0-42-1
  • Trent Boult4-0-48-1

R Ashwin after taking 3 for 24: "You don't bowl a full toss and a get a wicket in the first over you bowl! Not complaining. I've been working on a few things. Trying different angles, different releases. I would say 220 is about par. I think we'll get more and more baseballers playing T20 in the future!"

Sean: "That moment when you realize that Miller, Klaasen and Stubbs are going to in the middle order of the same team in the WC"

9.13pm Another usual high-scoring game this season. And for what it's worth, even 221 feels short - because if not for the late middle-overs slowdown, DC might have had even more! Fraser-McGurk again thrashed a 19-ball fifty, before his opening partner Porel hit 65. But the finishing touches were yet again provided by Stubbs, who slammed 41 off 20 balls. DC will hope 221 is enough, though, as they seek to themselves interested for a playoffs spot. Join Ekanth for the chase.

Sandeep Sharma to Rasikh Salam, 1 run, OUT, short ball, and wide of off. Salam pulls after riding the bounce, and plays on the bounce to deep midwicket. They attempt two with nothing to lose, and Salam is run-out at the striker's end. He was well short of the crease when the throw landed into Samson's gloves

Rasikh Salam run out 9 (11m 3b 2x4 0x6) SR: 300.00

Varunnath: "Read Kuldeep's comment that he had honed his batting skills. We all can see that now."

Sandeep Sharma to Kuldeep Yadav, 1 run, just short of Chahal at short third! Now Kuldeep goes for the reverse scoop, which rathe came off the back of the bat as the ball was a low full toss around fifth stump

Sandeep Sharma to Kuldeep Yadav, FOUR, wow, four to fine leg, and on one bounce! A stylish shot from Kuldeep, as he got across the stumps early, and slog-scooped this short-of-a-length ball from eighth stump

Kuldeep

Sandeep Sharma to Stubbs, OUT, ahh, appeal for lbw, and given! This was bowled at a near yorker-length on leg, and seemed gone the moment Stubbs missed. But he has still reviewed, because why not? The ball dips on to a be a near yorker on leg, as Stubbs looked to whip this with his front leg out of the way. There was no bat involved, as the ball struck his back pad. And replays show the ball would have, surprisingly, hit middle stump, and not leg!

T Stubbs lbw b Sandeep Sharma 41 (33m 20b 3x4 3x6) SR: 205.00

A bit of a delay, as Samson and co plan for Stubbs...

19.2

Sandeep Sharma to Stubbs, SIX, belted back over the bowler's head! He just stands a bit deep in the crease, and crashes this length ball around seventh stump for a flat and hard six
19.1
6
Sandeep Sharma to Stubbs, SIX, flashed over wide long-off! He is across his stumps early, and squats to loft this low full toss which is wide of off. Another forceful hit for six from Stubbs

Sandeep will bowl the last over

Pranav: "They just need to put Stubbs back on strike, and even 230 could be possible!"

Boult to Rasikh Salam, FOUR, and again! Almost like a right-handed Pant, he falls over in looking to scoop this length delivery around middle. So the Impact Sub comes in, and pumps two boundaries right away

Charlie Darke: "T20! 26 from 5 overs and then 26 from the next 8 balls! Got to love it!"

18.5

Boult to Rasikh Salam, FOUR, scoops over the keeper! He gets across first ball, and confidently attacks this length ball on the stumps to leave Ponting with a smile

Salam in as Impact Sub for DC. Porel is taken off.

18.4
W
Boult to Gulbadin Naib, OUT, spooned to short third! Naib perishes in an attempt to keep pumping boundaries. Boult bowled an offcutter on a length around off, getting the ball to shape away. Naib went chipping, but the lack of pace meant he only got an outside edge

Gulbadin Naib c Ashwin b Boult 19 (20m 15b 1x4 1x6) SR: 126.66

Boult to Stubbs, 1 run, ahh, well bowled! Goes for a yorker on leg, which is whipped to deep backward square
18.2

Boult to Stubbs, FOUR, pulled to deep square leg! Right in the gap, and excellently timed. Change of pace from Boult, and short around fifth stump. Stubbs waited, and thumped it for four more

Levi Stubbs: "If Stubbs can get a wriggle on, 220 may be on the cards still" --- The Stubbs family getting into the action now...

Chahal to Stubbs, SIX, honked over deep backward square leg! Massive six, as the ball goes very deep into the crowd. Again Stubbs went across and exposed his stumps, as Chahal bowled full and wide-ish of off. But Stubbs slog swept hard and bang!

Chahal to Stubbs, 2 runs, short and pretty wide of off. Pulled wide of long-on, and they pinch two
17.4

Chahal to Stubbs, FOUR, Stubbs gets across this time, and expertly manipulates the field. He squats and reaches out at this low full toss really wide of off, and paddle sweeps to beat square leg to his left

Now Samson has a deep point, as square leg comes in

17.3

Chahal to Stubbs, FOUR, reverse sweeps to deep backward point! He spots three fielders inside the circle on the off side, and switches over to dispatch this fullish ball angled into leg

Chahal to Gulbadin Naib, 1 run, much fuller, and pretty wide of off. Lofted on a few bounces to long-off's right
17.1

Chahal to Gulbadin Naib, FOUR, shorter side of a length, and wide of off. Naib swipes at it after reaching out, and manages to place it just wide of a diving long-on fielder's right

Just 26 runs from the last five overs, and the wickets of Pant and Porel.

Sandeep Sharma to Gulbadin Naib, no run, a short ball around sixth stump, but only at 119kph. Naib lets it go pretty late
