36th Match

23:27 Local Time, 17:57 GMT, 23:27 IST: A day for chases. DC couldn't defend 264 earlier on and now RR can't 228. SRH have won with 9 balls to spare. RR have to blame themselves for their fielding. Dhruv Jurel dropped Head first ball but that didn't prove costly. The others certainly did as Hetmyer, Jadeja and Brijesh's drops cost them.

Nandre Burger to Salil Arora, SIX, a six to end the game. Full and angling into the right-hander on middle, Salil Arora gets forward to flick and it's sweetly struck. Flies into the crowd at deep mid-wicket and that's such a commanding win for SRH

Nandre Burger to Aniket Verma, 1 run, short outside off, Aniket Verma leans back, opens the face of the bat and glides it down to third man

Nandre Burger to Aniket Verma, wide, full and down leg, Aniket Verma flicks and misses, called a wide

Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen, out Caught by Ravi Bishnoi!! Heinrich Klaasen walks off.

Waist is 1.05m and the ball is at 0.87m. Two in the over. But only delaying the inevitable. Heinrich Klaasen c Ravi Bishnoi b Brijesh Sharma 29(24) [4s-3 6s-1]

Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen, no run, it's a fair delivery and Parag's review works. Full and inside the tramline, some part of the ball was inside, Heinrich Klaasen is standing in his original stance, lets it go and Kaushik Gandhi calls it a wide. The review works

Brijesh Sharma to Nitish Reddy, out Lbw!! Superb inswinging yorker and that's beaten Nitish Kumar Reddy for pace. He's hit on the left boot. No bat and that's three reds. He reviews but Kaushik Gandhi's original decision will stand. That was a good delivery. Brijesh Sharma has bowled some really good yorkers this season. A little too late though. Nitish Reddy lbw b Brijesh Sharma 36(18) [4s-2 6s-3]

Tushar Deshpande to Heinrich Klaasen, FOUR, Tushar Deshpande has been expensive tonight. Low full-toss on leg-stump, Heinrich Klaasen gets forward and flicks, into the gap at mid-wicket and this is right between long-on and deep mid-wicket. Just 16 needed now

Timeout! RR not helping themselves in the field. SRH on their way to chase this down. RR need something special to win this from here.

Jofra Archer to Nitish Reddy, FOUR, end of Jofra Archer. It's full on off, Nitish Kumar Reddy gets forward and shows the full face of the bat to drive it past Archer and to the right of mid-off. It raced off the bat and that was all timing. Archer puts his head down and walks away disappointed. That was such a good shot. High-elbow and all that jazz

Jofra Archer to Nitish Reddy, no run, Jofra Archer closes his eyes in disappointment. Now the leading-edge doesn't carry to backward point. It's a short of length delivery on middle, Nitish Kumar Reddy is squared up and he gets lucky. Archer has bowled so well tonight without any luck

Jofra Archer to Nitish Reddy, 1 run, dropped by Brijesh at third man. Some in the RR team can't believe it. It's full just outside off, Nitish Reddy gets forward to loft and it flies off the top-edge. Brijesh was already going down and in the end he didn't even get a hand to it. Didn't judge the swirl on the ball. That should've been taken. Since it was an almighty top-edge, the ball swirled away from Brijesh and he didn't account for that

Nandre Burger to Heinrich Klaasen, no run, full on off, it holds up a tad on Heinrich Klaasen who gets forward to drive, nearly spoons a catch to mid-off. Parag the man and it's on the bounce
