Match Commentary
Marco Jansen to Donovan Ferreira, SIX, RR and Donovan Ferreira end PK's winning run. Celebrations in the RR camp. It's a juicy low full-toss on the stumps, Ferreira gets forward and slams it flat and high over long-on. That went skimming off the bat and it's 50 for Ferreira as well
Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, 1 run, slower-ball and wide outside off, Shubham Dubey gets forward to cut and it's miscued. Arshdeep runs in from deep point, had to dive forward, doesn't. Bounces in front of him. Jansen just looks at Arshdeep who turns his back and goes off
Marco Jansen [3.0-0-34-0] is back into the attack
Last over and just 2 needed. Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal ready to celebrate. Jansen to bowl.
Lockie Ferguson to Shubham Dubey, 1 run, slower-ball and full on off, Shubham Dubey gets forward to drive and gets it wide of extra-cover for one
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, 1 run, slower-ball and the leg-cutter outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and swipes the pull hard and straight to deep mid-wicket
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, FOUR, seam-up and the short of length delivery flies off the top-edge as Donovan Ferreira gets forward to pull. Extra pace and bounce, Ferreira swings so hard, that's why the top-edge flies over short third man. Just a hit away now
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, no run, short of length and across Donovan Ferreira, seam-up, outside off, he pulls and misses. A rare dot
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, SIX, that's into the top-tier at deep mid-wicket. Monstrous hit. A slower-ball and the leg-cutter again, short of length and sits up, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and smashes the pull, way back over the fence. 105m hit and the PK faces tell a story. They know the game is done. Ferreira is a brutal basher of the ball and this was just an example of his six-hitting prowess
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, FOUR, just wide of the dive of mid-off to his right. It's a slower-ball, the leg-cutter and full outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and belts it. Shreyas the man and the power on the shot was immense. Ferreira loved that, points at someone in the dugout with a smile on his face
18 off 12. Should be easy for RR.
Arshdeep Singh to Shubham Dubey, SIX, this he nails. Off-pace slower-ball and outside off, Shubham Dubey shuffles across and pulls, sort of a top-edge and it flies over the deep square-leg fence. Anticipated that Arshdeep Singh would bowl the same ball again and was ready for it. That should be the game-defining hit
Arshdeep Singh to Shubham Dubey, no run, slower-ball and short of length outside off, strangely Shubham Dubey lets it go. Maybe he thought it will bounce extra. Which it didn't. Well under the shoulder
Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, 1 run, again it's a low full-toss and under the bat, on middle-stump, Donovan Ferreira gets forward to flick to deep mid-wicket and it's just one
Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, no run, beautiful yorker length outside off, swinging away, Donovan Ferreira gets forward to drive, off the toe-end and back to Arshdeep Singh. A precious dot
Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, FOUR, round the wicket and the result doesn't change. It's a juicy low full-toss on off, angling into the right-hander, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and lofts to the long-off fence. It's one bounce over the ropes. Again long-off too wide
Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, SIX, full outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and lofts, more of a sliced hit. This flies straight down the ground and all the way. Ferreira showed his timing there. Immediately Shreyas comes to Arshdeep Singh to have a chat
Arshdeep Singh [3.0-0-51-1] is back into the attack
Lockie Ferguson to Shubham Dubey, 2 runs, the slower-ball leg-cutter and on middle, Shubham Dubey gets forward to flick in front of deep square-leg. They take on Arshdeep and get back for the 2nd
Lockie Ferguson to Shubham Dubey, FOUR, full on leg-stump, Shubham Dubey takes his front leg out of the way, gets forward to flick and it runs away to the deep backward square-leg fence. Did well to get the bat down in time
Shreyas has a chat with Lockie Ferguson. About field placings.
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, 1 run, slower-ball and short of length outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and pulls hard and straight to deep mid-wicket. Again the leg-cutter
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, no run, three dots in the over. A slower-ball leg-cutter that Lockie Ferguson bowls well, on a good length and just outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward to heave and misses. Ferguson has his hands on his head
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, no run, again Donovan Ferreira has missed out on a juicy low full-toss. He will be livid. Gets forward to swipe to leg, misses
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, wide, way outside off, this one is left alone and wide taken
Lockie Ferguson to Donovan Ferreira, no run, Donovan Ferreira has missed out. From round the wicket, a juicy low full-toss, probably off-pace, Ferreira gets forward to drive and misses. That was a boundary ball
Lockie Ferguson [2.0-0-33-0] is back into the attack
Marco Jansen to Donovan Ferreira, 1 run, slower-ball on a short of length on off, drop and run to the vacant cover area, Donovan Ferreira retains the strike with that run
Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, 1 run, nicely done. It's the yorker length delivery on middle, Shubham Dubey gets forward and opens the face of the bat to guide it wide of backward point. Stoinis chases and slides to pull it back. Poor from Dubey as he was assuming it would go for four. Is in the middle of the pitch, Donovan Ferreira has already completed one, wants the second. Meets Dubey midway, then Dubey sends Ferreira back and in the end it's just one. Terrible cricket awareness. Manages to draw a smile from Vikram Rathour in the RR dugout
Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, wide, back over the wicket. This is a slower-ball and short of length but well wide outside off, left alone and wide called
Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, FOUR, goes seam-up. Gets smashed. Full and in the slot just outside off, Shubham Dubey shows his power, gets forward and lofts straight down the ground. Long-on is very square. Chahal shakes his head
Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, SIX, round the wicket and Shubham Dubey has pumped Marco Jansen for six. It's a slower-ball and full outside off, Dubey gets forward and swings it into the 2nd-tier at long-on. Shreyas watches the flight of the ball. Went 98m
Marco Jansen to Donovan Ferreira, 1 run, full and seam-up on the stumps, Donovan Ferreira gets forward to drive to long-on
Marco Jansen to Shubham Dubey, 1 run, slower-ball on a length outside off, Shubham Dubey gets forward to heave, the thick inside-edge hits the pad and rolls away to the backward square-leg area

Arshdeep Singh to Shubham Dubey, 1 run, slower-ball and short outside off, Shubham Dubey gets forward and pulls to deep square-leg. Shedge keeps it to one
Spinners today \nRR: 2/73 in 8 overs, ER: 9.12 \nPBKS: 3/61 in 8 overs, ER: 7.62
Arshdeep Singh to Shubham Dubey, FOUR, full and swinging into middle and leg, Shubham Dubey gets forward and flicks fine, Chahal runs and dives to his left at fine-leg but the ball slips away. Should've stopped that once he got there
Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, 1 run, full and well wide outside off, Donovan Ferreira reaches for it and drives straight to the fielder at sweeper cover
Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, FOUR, Donovan Ferreira gets lucky. A low full-toss outside off, Ferreira gets forward to loft, too early, off the toe-end of the bat, bounces and beats the dive of Prabhsimran Singh to his left, runs away fine
Arshdeep Singh to Donovan Ferreira, no run, short of length and wide outside off, Donovan Ferreira gets forward and flat-bats it well but straight to the fielder at extra-cover, who's Stoinis just outside the ring
Arshdeep Singh [2.0-0-37-1] is back into the attack
Shubham Dubey, left handed bat, comes to the crease
Shubham Dubey will be the impact sub for RR. Punja out.
Advantage PK at the moment. Chahal with a match-defining spell. A real test for RR's middle-order now.
Yuzvendra Chahal to Riyan Parag, out Caught by Suryansh Shedge!! Straight to deep mid-wicket and Yuzvendra Chahal is pumped. Riyan Parag grimaces as he walks off. Chahal with the tongue out and a fist-pump to celebrate. Also the timeout now. Parag joins the team huddle for a chat. It's tossed up full outside the leg-stump, Parag wanted another six, but fails to get under this, gets forward and lofts, more off the thick inner half of the bat. Finds Shedge who has an easy catch. Last ball of Chahal and he ends with a wicket. Riyan Parag c Suryansh Shedge b Yuzvendra Chahal 29(16) [4s-2 6s-2]
