- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 taken at mid-off. Saha has been going hard in the Powerplay and he wanted to continue that, but he mis-timed this horribly. Got it off the end of the bat, and instead of lofting it over extra cover, the ball looped to mid-off, where Shreyas Iyer backpedalled and caught it comfortably 31/16.3 caught at deep midwicket. That's huge wicket, because Guptill was looking ominous. Very full on middle, in the slot to slog-sweep, which is exactly what Guptill does. Makes decent connection too, but that is the long part of the boundary and there is a man there, who runs to his left and pouches it safely. 56/213.3 slower ball, and he looks to flick this, but hasn't timed it all. It goes towards long on, where Rutherford doesn't need to move a muscle as it comes straight into his midriff. Foxed by the change of pace, and Pandey is put out of his misery, just when he was probably beginning to find his bearings 90/315.5 yorker, and pegged to perfection! Williamson backs away to create some room and go through the off side, but is beaten by both the pace and length of it. Tails back in sharply and hits the base of off stump. Williamson goes, and could prove to be a good thing for Sunrisers, as he looked physically a bit less than 100 percent 111/418.3 length, and he goes across the line this time, and holes out to deep midwicket! Vijay Shankar is filthy with himself, because that was again a ball that could have gone for four or six, but instead gives Delhi a wicket 147/519.4 slower ball, and he looks to go towards point, but hasn't been able to clear backward point! He has been having trouble picking up Paul's slower ball, and this was another off-cutter just wide of off stump, and he went for the right choice of shot, but sliced it as he tried to go towards the backward point fence 160/619.4 slower ball, outside off, and they have tried to go for a single. There's a throw at the non-striker's end. The batsman collided with the bowler. They are conferring about whether Shreyas Iyer wants to withdraw the appeal. The umpires. Iyer, Rishabh Pant everybody in there. And eventually Delhi want the appeal to stand. Paul was looking to go for the ball, and in the process his leg stuck out a bit as Hooda was getting to the non-striker's end. It was also called a wide, by the way 161/719.5 slower ball, and he looks to go towards midwicket, but gets an edge, through to Pant behind the wicket 161/8Extras10 (lb 2, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL162/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Did not bat: KK AhmedFall of wickets: 1-31 (Wriddhiman Saha, 3.1 ov), 2-56 (Martin Guptill, 6.3 ov), 3-90 (Manish Pandey, 13.3 ov), 4-111 (Kane Williamson, 15.5 ov), 5-147 (Vijay Shankar, 18.3 ov), 6-160 (Mohammad Nabi, 19.4 ov), 7-161 (Deepak Hooda, 19.4 ov), 8-161 (Rashid Khan, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.6 caught at point! Khaleel's making a second phone call. Big wicket. Back of a length, pacier one at 141 kph, and Shaw is too late into the pull. Gets a top edge that loops to point, and suddenly this chase has come alive. 87/37.3 brilliant work by Saha. Dhawan gave him the charge and Hooda spotted that and smartly bowled it down leg. Saha had to move well to his right to collect and then come back to whip the bails off, which he does before Dhawan can ground his bat. It'll be a wide, but the important thing is, they've broken the opening stand 66/110.2 got him! Khaleel has got the breakthrough. Good length in the corridor, and Iyer wanted to glide it to third man, it bounced a bit more than he expected, took a thin edge through to Saha. Weird little celebration by Khaleel, gesturing making a phone call. Perhaps he's saying you've been called back? 84/218.5 full ball, and he has gone for a one-handed shot, and spliced this up. Pant is gone! Kumar floated this away outside off again, and Pant went for the glory shot, just like Rutherford. And he's picked up by Nabi, just like Rutherford. Surely, they cannot lose this from here? 158/714.1 length, turns back into him, and it's given out leg before. Munro was going across the line, and he has asked for a review! Rashid seems to have done the job, as there is no visible inside edge. Straightened after pitching just on middle, and would go on to hit leg. Another wicket lost, and so is the review! 111/414.4 turns back into him, takes the inside edge and trickles off his body, and Saha claims this! What a catch, and another wicket for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Rashid Khan turning it on when his team needs it! Bowling quick, and getting some purchase from the surface. This is turning into a great period for the former champions, as they are putting the squeeze on this young batting lineup. Replays reveal it has hit the pad, though. They don't have a review though 111/518.1 length ball, outside off, slower ball, and Rutherford's hand has come off the handle. It hangs in the air, and Nabi tracks this from long off, and holds on! Is there a twist yet? 151/619.4 length ball, and he misses it. It goes through to Saha, and Mishra runs across for the run. They have asked for a review, because the throw didn't hit the stumps. Did he obstruct the field, though? There's no outside edge on it. The ball went through to Saha, who had a shy at the stumps. Oh, was the call for caught-behind? In which case, it's not out, obviously. So Sunrisers lose their review. They have a look at this again. Mishra does change his angle a bit towards the ball. Could it be obstructed the field then? Has the ball hit Mishra? It has, and this out! What an Eliminator this is turning out to be. Do Delhi want to win this or not? 161/8Extras6 (b 1, w 5)TOTAL165/8 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.31)Did not bat: I SharmaFall of wickets: 1-66 (Shikhar Dhawan, 7.3 ov), 2-84 (Shreyas Iyer, 10.2 ov), 3-87 (Prithvi Shaw, 10.6 ov), 4-111 (Colin Munro, 14.1 ov), 5-111 (Axar Patel, 14.4 ov), 6-151 (Sherfane Rutherford, 18.1 ov), 7-158 (Rishabh Pant, 18.5 ov), 8-161 (Amit Mishra, 19.4 ov)
