- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 A wicket out of nowhere! Porel will be kicking himself!!! He hangs his head in dejection before starting the long walk back. It is a juicy full toss just outside off, a bit of shape away in the air. He could have hit it anywhere but slogs it straight to Siraj at mid-on 23/18.2 Prasidh wins the second duel with another Karnataka team-mate! Nair picks out deep third. Shortish and just outside off, 142.1kph, Nair backs away again to steer/ramp it over third, ends up not middling it and Arshad takes a few steps to his left to take it reverse-cupped. Big wicket and the extra over to PK works for GT 93/34.4 Huge appeal and given! Prasidh nails the yorker and Rahul's toes! He wins the first Karnataka duel. Nair perhaps asks Rahul to review it but he doesn't and walks back. It swings away a bit late and misses Rahul's attempted flick and strikes him flush on the back foot. Nothing would have saved KLR there, and that's a top seed from PK 58/217.1 And Prasidh makes an impact! On a full length around leg, 138kph, Axar backs away to slap it down the ground but all he manages is a thick outside edge and Buttler does the rest. A third wicket for Prasidh today and that makes him the season's leading wicket-taker! 173/514.2 Stubbs, what have you done? He shaped to reverse scoop that and Siraj bowls a yorker around leg, cramping the batter. All Stubbs manages is to lob it to Prasidh at short third. Timeout brings a wicket! Stubbs was looking really good out there 146/419.5 Taken at long-on! On a length outside off and spinning away, Ashutosh frees his hands and looks to go down the ground. Gets it off the toe end and it goes straight to the fielder in the deep. What an excellent over this, considering the field restrictions and that it is his first over of the game! Sai Kishore, you beauty! 199/817.2 What a screamer from Buttler and Prasidh has four! And he is on a hat-trick! This is back of length on middle, following Vipraj, who only pokes at it. The ball flies to Buttler's right and Buttler also flies to his right to grab that one-handed! What a match Prasidh is having, what a season Prasidh is having! 173/618.4 Caught at cover! Off a full toss! And DC's Impact Player falls for 1 off 3!. It's a low full toss and Ferreira doesn't get enough elevation on that. Sai Kishore contributes in this innings with a good catch above his head. And DC's decision looks even odder now 191/7Extras12 (lb 3, w 9)TOTAL203/8 (20 Overs, RR: 10.15)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Abishek Porel, 1.4 ov), 2-58 (KL Rahul, 4.4 ov), 3-93 (Karun Nair, 8.2 ov), 4-146 (Tristan Stubbs, 14.2 ov), 5-173 (Axar Patel, 17.1 ov), 6-173 (Vipraj Nigam, 17.2 ov), 7-191 (Donovan Ferreira, 18.4 ov), 8-199 (Ashutosh Sharma, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 Kuldeep gets the main man Sai Sudharsan. Shortish on middle, he goes back to pull and hits it straight to deep midwicket. Not the best ball but DC will take anything that comes their way. No mistake from Stubbs in the deep, Sai Sud looked so good but is not gone 74/21.4 Mix-up and Gill is out of here! A very poor judgement call and it proves to be the end of the GT captain's stay in the middle. It is a length ball on off and middle, he clips it straight to midwicket and rushes for a single. Sai Sudharsan spotted Nair get to the ball and didn't rush. Nair had all the time in the world to nail the direct hit at the striker's end. Massive wicket 14/118.5 Holes out at long-off! Full toss outside off, Rutherford goes across and looks to take it on and he mistimes it to Starc in the deep. Rutherford wants this checked for no-ball on height, but it looks fine! Third umpire does a comprehensive check, and it's all fine. Mukesh Kumar has his man. Rutherford departs seven short of what would have been a maiden IPL fifty 193/3Extras10 (lb 5, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL204/3 (19.2 Overs, RR: 10.55)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Shubman Gill, 1.4 ov), 2-74 (Sai Sudharsan, 7.3 ov), 3-193 (Sherfane Rutherford, 18.5 ov)
