Raj Bawa
3-0-39-1
Raj Bawa to Rasikh Salam Dar, 2 runs - RCB have a thriller in Raipur! Last-ball finish in Raipur as Mumbai Indians have been eliminated. What a match! This was drilled back to the bowler by Rasikh Salam Dar and Raj Bawa tried to stop it. Escapes his grasp and dribbles towards long-on. Rasikh sprints across, and manages to come back for two. Gets back with a dive at the keeper's end. Rickelton took off the bails, but Rasikh's bat was inside
Raj Bawa to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 1 run - Super over anyone? 2 runs needed in 1 ball. This was pitched up by the bowler outside off, Bhuvneshwar Kumar swings early, and gets it off the cue end towards long-off
Raj Bawa to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, SIX - would you believe it! What are we witnessing. Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled an excellent spell earlier in the day, and now he has smashed a six. Much needed six. This was pitched up by the bowler outside off and Bhuvneshwar Kumar lofted it over deep cover. Clears the boundary and Jayawardene looks annoyed. He advices the bowler to avoid the wide yorker, I guess
Raj Bawa to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, wide - back to a short ball, and it's a ball over the batsman's head
Raj Bawa to Romario Shepherd, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Relief for Raj Bawa. He holds his knee as soon as the catch is taken - and looks relieved. After bowling several extras, he has gotten a wicket. This was pitched up by the youngster outside off and Romario Shepherd swung hard at it. Gets it off an outside edge as Tilak at backward point completes a safe catch. MI have this game under control now. Romario Shepherd c Tilak Varma b Raj Bawa 4(11)

Raj Bawa to Romario Shepherd, 1 run - an anticlimax. Just a single off the free-hit. Was a short ball and Romario Shepherd dragged it through mid-wicket
Raj Bawa to Romario Shepherd, no ball - yorker length ball, Romario Shepherd swings early, miscuing it back to the bowler. That hit the bottom edge of his willow, and the bat is broken.

A few RCB fans in the stands hugging each other as they saw the on the giant screen

3-0-33-1
AM Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Tilak Varma comes up with the catch of the match. Krunal Pandya had slogged it towards long-on where Tilak charges to his left and grabs it. Just when he's about to overhaul the fence - he lobs the ball and comes back to take it on the second attempt. A fighting knock by Krunal Pandya comes to an end. RCB need 18 runs in 12 balls. This match is going right down to the wire. Krunal Pandya c Tilak Varma b AM Ghazanfar 73(46) [4s-4 6s-5]

AM Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya, no run - is that a six, or is it not? Tilak and Naman Dhir are having an animated chat between them near the boundary. Tilak Varma didn't collect it as Naman parried it towards him after completing the catch close to the rope. Was lofted towards wide long-on by Krunal Pandya and Naman Dhir grabbed it near the boundary, and just when he was about to cross the boundary, he parried it towards Tilak who didn't gather it. Tilak thought it was a six, but Naman Dhir didn't actually touch the boundary. Krunal didn't run, it eventually results in a dot ball

He's having a few drinks to re-hydrate, and at the same time having a chat with the physio. We'll have a slight delay, but more importantly, Krunal is back on his feet
Deepak Chahar to Krunal Pandya, wide - goes for a short bouncer, but it's wayward and outside off

4-1-26-4
Corbin Bosch to Tim David, out Caught by Ryan Rickelton!! This match keeps swinging like the pendulum of a clock. Would you believe it? He conceded a couple of sixes earlier in the over - but finishes it off with wickets off successive deliveries. Four wickets on the night for Bosch. This was a cross seam delivery on the shorter side and Tim David got beaten due to the lack of pace. Swivels and goes for the pull, but the ball takes the toe end of the bat and it's taken by the keeper behind the wickets.

Rasikh Salam Dar to Tilak Varma, FOUR - nooo Romario! That won't make the captain happy. A needless fumble and what should have been a dot is four runs. He moved to the right at cover to stop this ball but overran. Short of a length delivery just outside off stump, Tilak punched it off back foot to cover and got lucky

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Virat Kohli!! Now Virat dives low to the right at first slip to make it three in two overs for Bhuvi. He runs off after taking that catch. This was around 138kph at a fullish length and just outside off stump. Enough seam movement around to keep the batters in check. Bhuvi asked the question to the batter to hit it from that spot if he can. SKY moved across and then flashed hard at a drive - thick edge and gone. MI in trouble. Suryakumar Yadav c Virat Kohli b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 0(1)
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Rohit Sharma, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Edged and gone. He's outsmarted Ro with a 116.6kph knuckle ball. What an absolute joy of three overs it has been so far. Bhuvi bossing the first over. Ro taking on Hazlewood in the next over. Bhuvi again keeping it tight - Ro getting a smart boundary but Bhuvi eventually outdoes Ro with a stunner of a knuckle ball that sucked Ro early into the shot. He played away from the body to this length ball, thick edge and the keeper dived low to the right to collect a fine catch. Rohit Sharma c Jitesh Sharma b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 22(10) [4s-2 6s-2]
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Rohit Sharma, FOUR - class, pure class from Ro! Bowler did nothing wrong but bowl to the field. Slip in place and a fine short third in place to cut the angle. There was hardly any width on this short of length delivery but Ro played so close to the body to guide it past backward point and deep point is too square
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Naman Dhir, 1 run - swings for a lofted shot over the off-side, gets a thick edge that flies over backward point. Hazlewood runs to the right but collects on the bounce
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Naman Dhir, no run - looks for a tap-and-run single but Rohit sends him back. Would have been a suicidal run as the ball went almost into the hands of the attacking man at cover
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Naman Dhir, no run - fullish delivery just outside off stump, Naman Dhir defends off the front foot
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Naman Dhir, wide - short of length delivery down leg the leg-side

Josh Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, SIX - now he dances down the track again to unsettle Josh Hazlewood, who digs it into the pitch. Plays a wild swing for a big hit and the top edge flies over the keeper to negate all the good work done by Bhuvi
Josh Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, SIX - uppish and just over Bethell. This is classical counterattack from Ro. He's taking on Josh Hazlewood to make a statement. The bumper and directed pretty well because they had a man perfectly placed at deep backward square leg. Ro is known for his lovely pulls shots, send out one and teases Bethell on the fence. Even a good jump wasn't good enough
Josh Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, no run - beaten! Short of a length delivery just outside off stump, Ro got opened up in his defence by the away movement
Josh Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, leg byes - 2 runs, short of length delivery slightly down the leg-side, Ro moves inside the line and looks to help it away fine and the ball escapes to fine leg
Josh Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, FOUR - in the airrrr and just over mid-off! Are we going to see Rohit taken Hazlewood like he did in Ahmedabad in the World Cup final? There is no way they can let both the bowlers happily dig away at the short of length zone. So Rohit backed away to unsettle the line, Josh Hazlewood didn't change his radar much but Rohit backed himself for a slap and managed to clear the infield
Josh Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, no run - now Ro shoulders arms to a short of length delivery outside off stump

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ryan Rickelton, out Caught by Rajat Patidar!! Bhuvi you absolute gold! Kept it very - very simple. Enough cracks on the pitch to put doubts on the batter's mind so he did nothing but bowl into the wicket and use the pitch. That's experience for you! This isn't a pitch to hit through the line. Definitely not if it's not overpitched and Bhuvi offered nothing in the slot. This mean Rickelton had to manufacture something and he tried to loft the drive. Ball jumped extra to hit him higher than intended and this time lobs straight to mid-off for an easy catch. Ryan Rickelton c Rajat Patidar b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2(4)
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ryan Rickelton, no run - now he goes round the wicket to the LHB and troubles him with a short of length delivery that moves off the wicket, onto the thigh pad
