Prasidh to Ashutosh Sharma, SIX, a juicy full toss on the pads, Ashutosh Sharma flicks it over fine leg as the ball goes the distance. Reminds me of the knock played by Tim David last night. Ashutosh playing a similar knock

Prasidh to Vipraj Nigam, out Caught by Buttler!! Two in two for Prasidh. A shortish delivery on middle and leg, Vipraj Nigam backs away and guides this straight to Buttler. The keeper grabs it with a dive to his right and that's an excellent take. A golden duck for Vipraj Nigam and Prasidh now has a chance to grab a five-wicket haul. He is on a hat-trick as well. Vipraj Nigam c Buttler b Prasidh 0(1)

Prasidh to Axar, out Caught by Buttler!! Krishna comes back into the attack and removes Axar. The DC captain was down the wicket to have a swing at it, gets an outside edge as Buttler completes the formalities behind the wickets. Third wicket of the innings for Prasidh, he has shown tremendous consistency throughout the season. Has been the best bowler of the season for the Titans without a doubt. Axar c Buttler b Prasidh 39(32) [4s-1 6s-2]

Siraj to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR, shot! This was pitched up by the bowler and Ashutosh Sharma drills it through covers. A misfield by the fielder inside the circle and the bowler is absolutely annoyed. His expressions say it all
16.1
Siraj to Axar, 1 run, dropped by Rashid Khan! Axar had chipped this towards cover and Rashid fails to latch on to the catch. Got his hands to it, but puts it down eventually. He's usually a good fielder, but not his day probably
16
6
Arshad Khan to Ashutosh Sharma, SIX, short and punished! Picks the length early and pulls the short ball over deep mid-wicket for a flat six. This is what Ashutosh Sharma is capable of doing. Has done it in the past and he's doing it again
15.5

Arshad Khan to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR, now Prasidh Krishna is in pain. What's happening out there? Ashutosh Sharma laps the length delivery towards short fine leg and the fielder stationed there fails to stop the ball. First Krishna was pointing towards his foot, but the physio is applying magic sprays on his calf. We'll have another halt in play
15
Siraj to Axar, 1 run, length delivery around off, slapped down to long-off for a single by Axar
14.2
W
Siraj to Stubbs, out Caught by Prasidh!! Siraj breaks the partnership. This was pitched up by the pacer and Stubbs went for the reverse scoop. Doesn't middle it as it was slightly slower and Prasidh at short third man takes the easiest of catches. Stubbs walks back after playing a handy knock just like most of the DC batters. Stubbs c Prasidh b Siraj 31(21) [4s-2 6s-1]
14
Rashid Khan to Axar, no run, another review wasted by Rashid Khan! This was a flatter delivery down the leg-side, Axar got beaten as he tried to glance it away and the ball brushed his thigh pad on its way to the keeper. Wasted a review for an lbw against the same batsman earlier in the innings, does it once again
13.5

Rashid Khan to Axar, SIX, 50-run stand up! A length delivery on middle and leg, Axar swipes it over deep square leg for half-a-dozen

Rashid Khan to Stubbs, 1 run, in the air, but safe! A tossed up delivery by the leggie, Stubbs goes for a slogsweep, gets a top edge that skies high up in the air, Stubbs runs behind and looks to grab it, but he fails to get his hands to it
13.3

Rashid Khan to Stubbs, SIX, Stubbs on song! A tossed up delivery by Rashid, right into the slot and Stubbs has smoked it over long-on for a towering six. Clean strike by the batsman. Another mediocre performance by Rashid

Ishant to Stubbs, FOUR, and four more. Superb timing. Fuller length delivery, the bat face might have twisted a little but he backed away and drilled the ball wide of cover fielder for a four. Good timing and placement. The rate continues to hover around 10 per over

Rashid Khan to Axar, SIX, and clean! Tossed up ball, googly, the batter played it with the turn and lofted it over long-off. The stride forward helped him to get under the ball. GT need more wickets to slow down the rate
9.4
Rashid Khan to Axar, no run, was a tossed up delivery, Axar looked to slog it across the line and missed making contact. It was a good call. But GT took a gambke thinking it was pitching in line but wasn't to be. GT lose a review

Prasidh to Axar, 1 run, 100 up! 9 overs done. Was a short ball, outside off, dabbed down to third man for a single

Prasidh to Stubbs, FOUR, and Stubbs gets off the mark with a four. Was a length delivery, outside off, Stubbs got a stride out and punched it wide of the man at cover for a four. The previous one was a short ball, this one was full. But Stubbs is confident and that stride into the fuller length delivery helped him to play this drive with elan

Prasidh to Karun Nair, out Caught by Arshad Khan!! Another DC batter gets off to a start and falls. Was a back of a length delivery, outside off, Karun Nair seemed to be a little cramped on the shot and guided it. The ball went flat, Arshad moved to his left at deep third and pouched it. Nair has to go. Another in-form batter has to go back. Second strike for Krishna. He was given an extra over now and he has not disappointed. Not the best ball that Prasidh has bowled today but he will be pleased. Karun Nair c Arshad Khan b Prasidh 31(18) [4s-2 6s-2]

Prasidh to Axar, FOUR, bad ball and put away! Fuller, wider, Axar throws his hands at it and gets it wide of the man at point for a four. There was room on it and Axar took toll of it

Arshad Khan to Karun Nair, FOUR, just uses the pace of the bowler. Was a short of length delivery, outside off, Karun Nair backed away and guided it past the man at short third man. Nair is the key from here on. Lovely from Karun Nair

Prasidh to Rahul, out Lbw!! Rahul doesn't review. That is a superb delivery. Krishna continues his good form in the tournament. That was quick, fuller, Rahul looked to clip it and missed the line of the ball. The ball tailed in late and Rahul did a wrong thing by trying to play it with a closed face of the bat. He had a chat with Nair before walking off. I guess he did the right thing. That kind of looked plumb. Massive wicket as Rahul was looking so good. Prasidh comes in and has delivered a big wicket. Rahul lbw b Prasidh 28(14) [4s-4 6s-1]

Prasidh to Rahul, FOUR, the carnage continues. Strays on to the pads, bad ball, angled in, Rahul clipped it wide of the man at short fine. Easily done and Rahul is 26 off 11 already. He is picking his spots as per his wishes
3.5

Arshad Khan to Rahul, FOUR, fifty up! And in no time. Stays leg-side of the fuller ball, outside off, Rahul got under the full ball and sliced it to get it wide of the man at deep point to his right. He is doing a terrific job by playing the field
3.4
4
Arshad Khan to Rahul, FOUR, four more. Rahul off to a flier as well. Played the field so cleverly. Waited on it, knew the deep square fielder was veru square and just nudged the ball fine for a four. Just used the pace on the delivery to put it away

Siraj to Karun Nair, SIX, six more! Siraj is being taken to the cleaners. The batter backed away to that short of length delivery, got it off the outer-half of the bat and the ball sailed over deep backward point
2.3

Siraj to Rahul, SIX, fuller length delivery, angled in, Rahul clears his front leg and thumps it over long-on. Massive sixer. Was in the slot, Rahul never tried to hit it too hard, held his shape and banggggg. Siraj under a lot of pressure
2.2

Siraj to Rahul, FOUR, slashes it and gets it wide of the man at point. He backed away, the ball got a little big on him but he opened the face of the bat a little on impact to get it square of the wicket. Siraj continues to be costly. Rahul will take that

Arshad Khan to Abishek Porel, out Caught by Siraj!! Gift of a wicket for GT. That was a low full toss, Abishek Porel clattered it flat but straight to Siraj at mid-on. That wasn't placed well and Abishek Porel has to go. Abishek Porel played a cameo but has to go now. Not the best of deliveries from Arshad Khan but he will be happy with the bargain. Failed to land that full toss outside off and the batter got a good chunk of it but as mentioned failed to get it wide of the fielder. Was hit hard but taken well by Siraj. Abishek Porel c Siraj b Arshad Khan 18(9) [4s-3 6s-1]

Arshad Khan to Abishek Porel, FOUR, Krishna dives, slides and the ball bobbles out of his grasp for a four. That was fuller length, well outside off, the batter square drove it and the man from deep point moved to his left but failed to stop it with a clumsy effort not helping his cause
0.5

Siraj to Abishek Porel, FOUR, four more. Fuller ball, outside off, not much movement and Abishek Porel drove it wide of the bowler for a four. This guy has been so good in the powerplay overs

Siraj to Abishek Porel, SIX, on the pads, poor delivery and heaved away over deep square. Bad ball and put away with elan. He whipped that with timing and the ball went over the back-trackking deep fielder

Siraj to Abishek Porel, FOUR, has been given as a four. The batter danced down, the bat face twisted a little and the ball went over mid-off. Krishna did well to pull it back as the ball plugged after landing. The fielder tried to chase it down but his feet were touching the ropes and the ball was touching his hand at the same time
