Warner and Prithvi Shaw are at the crease. Warner is on strike. Starc will open the attack
Righto! It's Mitch Starc with the new ball. One slip in place...
Did DC bowl that badly? They were poor with their execution and add to that the non-DRS moments which cost them dear. Also the fielding looked a bit sloppy on occasions. All of these however, will be forgiven and forgotten, if they manage to hunt what looks like a taller hill than Rushikonda (a famous spot in Vizag). Let's see how they go...

Angkrish Raghuvanshi - I just wanted to watch the ball and react. I had worked in the nets for the last few weeks, just had fun watching Sunil play. Having watched the SRH match, nothing's a winning score, we'll have to bowl well. Bowl in the right channels and force them into mistakes

Ishant to Venkatesh Iyer, 1 run, oh no! They can't get there. A low full toss outside off and Venkatesh Iyer can only mistime the slog to the left of mid-wicket. Just a single and that is a fantastic final over from Ishant Sharma....
One six and KKR can equal the record. Can they get there? All SRH fans would be hoping and praying for is - no wide/no no-ball...
19.5
Ishant to Venkatesh Iyer, FOUR, slower full delivery outside off, Venkatesh Iyer gets under it and thumps it back over the bowler's head for a one-bounce boundary
19.4
Ishant to Starc, 1 run, 142ks full and just outside off, Starc drills it straight down the ground and Warner runs across to his left from long-off to keep it down to a single
Mitchell Starc, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Ishant to Ramandeep Singh, out Caught by Prithvi Shaw!! Ishant drags the length back and keeps it well wide of off, Ramandeep Singh chases and looks to smash it over sweeper cover. Skews it off the thick inside half and Prithvi runs across to his left from cover to take a fine catch. Remember, KKR are just 2 sixes away from achieveing something phenomenal here. Ramandeep Singh c Prithvi Shaw b Ishant 2(2)
Ishant to Ramandeep Singh, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Ishant to Ramandeep Singh, 2 runs, Ramandeep Singh gets across looking to scoop and it's deflected off his helmet to the right of mid-wicket. The physio is out to check on Ramandeep Singh and we have a brief break in play...
Ramandeep Singh, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Ishant to Russell, out Bowled!! Build a statue to this man - Ishant Sharma - the supporters of SRH must be screaming right now. Mustafizur, when playing for SRH, did something similar to Russell in 2016 IPL and now Ishant Sharma repeats the dose. A toe-crushing yorker that makes Russell fall onto the floor quite awkwardly. By the time he could bring his bat down, the stumps were in an amazing state of mess. The leg peg has gone north and the middle peg goes the opposite direction. Russell b Ishant 41(19) [4s-4 6s-3]
Ishant to Russell, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!
Ishant Sharma [2.0-0-35-0] is back into the attack
