400 | FOUR, full toss again and this time he lofts it over extra-cover. Although the timing isn't quite there, he just had to clear the fielder in the circle. No chance for the fielder running across from sweeper cover. It's fifty for Rana too. The crowd going bonkers |
401 | out Caught by Narine!! That roar from bowler drowned the whole of Wankhede by itself. Rana backs away to a low full toss on middle and spears it straight to point. He had timed the pants off it but couldn't have found the fielder any better. His stunning innings comes to an end. Oh what a game! batsman c Narine b bowler 50(29) [4s-5 6s-3] |
402 | SIX, low full toss again and Hardik flogs it over square leg. He is 18 off 5. What a blinder! |
403 | FOUR, that is probably the blunder which will cost team the match. It shouldn't have been any more than a single. A low full toss which Hardik can't find any elevation with. He smacks it down to long-on, where Surya attacks the ball nicely but he misfields and the ball sneaks through |
404 | 2 runs, this is very, very ordinary from team in the field. The substitute Rishi Dhawan is the culprit this time. He drops a skier. Another brilliant short ball, rushes Hardik on the pull and takes a thick top-edge to deep square leg. Dhawan looks nervous under the ball, slips a bit and then has to dive to his left after the misjudgement. Makes a hash of it |
405 | FOUR, full on the pads, and Hardik has done it! He whips it away past a diving Rajpoot at the fine leg boundary before running down and cutting a pose for the camera |
406 | FOUR, a shot that should make him feel better. bowler errs in his length slight and that is enough for Parthiv to punish him, driven beautifully wide of mid-off and the ball raced away to the fence |
407 | 1 run, direct hit and Parthiv was running back. Finally he connects with one of his heaves, not middled though and finds Yusuf at mid-wicket. The shy is at the bowler's end and it is way off target |
408 | SIX, batsman clearly has the wood on his England team mates. Stokes in the first game and now bowler. A little shuffle and a crouch down to scoop this length delivery over short fine. The connection was such that it travelled the distance |
409 | FOUR, rank long hop to start bowler's spell, Parthiv picked the bones out of the pull shot, rocks back and nails it wide of the mid-wicket fielder. No need to run for those |
410 | 2 runs, the new opening combo for team has registered a 50-run stand in only their second game together. batsman works it away with the spin wide of long-on and the second was on |
411 | SIX, batsman surely picked that from bowler. It was the off-spinner and he played it with the turn, plants his foot across and whips it over the cow corner fence for a maximum. This was more timing than power from the Englishman |
412 | SIX, finally Parthiv connects with one and sends it into the crowd. Floated up just outside off, Parthiv sinks to one knee and slog sweeps it over deep mid-wicket. GG certainly didn't like it |
413 | out Lbw!! Kuldeep can't be kept quiet for too long these days. He provides the first breakthrough for team and ends Parthiv's hit-and-miss innings. It was the wrong 'un and Parthiv shuffled across to sweep, missed and is rapped on the pads. The question was whether the impact was in-line, umpire Nandan thought so and raised his finger. batsman lbw b bowler 30(27) [4s-3 6s-1] |
414 | FOUR, a freebie from Kuldeep to welcome Rana. Googly which is short and down leg, Rana went for the big pull and under edge it fine. The man in the deep was square and had no chance |
415 | out Lbw!! Two wickets in two overs. The bowling change has worked for team and GG. The UP lad gets rid of the dangerous batsman, who makes a start and gets out, again. A full toss that tailed back in, batsman was beaten for pace as he missed the flick. The ball struck him in front of leg-stump. Not sure if it would have gone on to hit the sticks. But the finger was raised and he walks back. batsman lbw b bowler 28(22) [4s-1 6s-2] |
416 | out Lbw!! batsman is not walking. He's not pleased with the decision. Has some choice words to say to umpire Nandan. "That's an absolute shocker," says KP on air and he's right. Massive inside edge onto the pad. Two poor decisions in two overs might have just cost team the game. The off-break which turns back in and cramps batsman for room, he hurriedly brings his bat down and smashes it into his pads. The umpire didn't spot it and gave it out after a thought. batsman was fuming after the decision. Even showed his bat to the umpire gesturing he hit it. But you can't overturn an onfield decision unless you have the DRS and that is not available in the IPL. This wicket has to be the game changing moment. batsman lbw b bowler 2(6) |
417 | FOUR, batsman is off and running. bowler loses his radar and sprays it on the pads, batsman will not miss out on those. Just nonchalantly whips it past square leg. The ball raced away to the fence at MACH 3 |
418 | FOUR, fabulous shot from batsman. Don't offer him width, not even half a foot. If you give him half a foot, he will take it into a mile. Just extends his hands and lifts it effortlessly over extra cover |
419 | SIX, that has gone flying into the third tier. Just slid on with the arm, batsman picked the bones out of it, thumping it high and handsome into the long-on stands |
420 | 1 run, dropped by backward point, a real sitter, team fans can't believe it! Full and wide, Maxi slices the drive sitting deep inside his crease, it went flat and straight to Mandeep Singh. He was a tad slow to react, straight in and straight out |
421 | FOUR, it's down the leg side and batsman tickles it away for four! The man at fine leg had no chance. A fine fifty from the South African. This knock has ensured that team are chasing this down without much of a problem |
422 | FOUR, plenty of width on offer and batsman takes full toll of it, stands tall in his crease and smacks the leather over extra cover. Take four! |
423 | FOUR, that's fodder! Maxi wants to finish it off ASAP. Uses the strong bottom hand to whip it in the air over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes |
424 | SIX, this could be over pretty soon. batsman is surely relishing captaincy, Australia are you watching? Clears his front leg and smites the heck off a short delivery, backs away and makes a clean connection, goes seething over a helpless third man |
425 | SIX, brute! That's massacred! Maxi is in some form. Watches the ball like a hoop, once he picked the length (short) it was all about connection; that was marmalized, flat and flying over backward point |
426 | SIX, #team make a mockery of team's 148, ABD's 46-ball 89, win by 8 wickets with 33 balls to spare. Maxi is blasting it all around the park, puts the finishing touches with a brutalizing maximum over long-off. Got underneath a flat delivery and killed it...Watto smiles as he shakes hands with his dear friend. Lo! That's all he can do at the moment |
427 | SIX, you will see those often especially when bowler is bowling at such pace. batsman is not afraid, goes for a pull off the front foot, gets a fat top-edge that flies over the third man fence. Blades these days! I tell you.. |
428 | FOUR, in the airrr and just over a leaping Negi. batsman would've had his heart in his mouth for a moment. A short of length delivery outside off, there was width on offer so batsman went after for a rasping cut. Didn't bother to keep it down but luckily for him it flies over the point fielder |
429 | FOUR, almost.. bowler overcorrects his length, bowls fuller this time. batsman flexes his arms and lifts it over mid-off. Just clears the fielders and runs away to the fence |
430 | FOUR, third boundary of the over. bowler is not learning. This was much straighter, he is looking for some swing which is non existent at the moment. Full on the pads, batsman gets inside the line and tickles it away to the fine leg fence. The fielder was inside the ring and bowler shouldn't have bowled it there |
431 | FOUR, threads the gap this time. Pure class from batsman. Stands still and lets his hands do the talking. Punches a back of a length delivery crisply through cover-point, beats the packed off-side field |
432 | 1 run, goes wide of the crease and angles one on the pads, clipped away sweetly to deep square leg. 50-up for Punjab |
433 | SIX, in the airrrr and dropped. Mills is furious. Stanlake is the culprit. Don't even look at the bowler. A short ball down leg, batsman swivels across and pulls, hits it straight to fine leg. Stanlake prances to his right, goes reverse-cupped but makes a royal mess of it. The ball bursts through his fingers and what's worse is, it carries over the fence |
434 | FOUR, wow. Elegance written all over it. Shot of the day so far. Mills bowls a half-volley on the stumps, batsman leans forward, presents a full bat face and drives it smoothly down the ground, beats mid-on |
435 | out Lbw!! Number one down. A premature end to batsman's innings. Mills is chuffed to bits, lets out a huge roar. It was full and straight, the back of the hand slower ball from Mills. batsman misjudged it completely. Shuffled across his sticks and plays down the wrong line. Misses it and is struck low on the pad. Looked pretty adjacent and umpire Anil Chaudhary raises his dreaded finger. batsman lbw b bowler 34(21) [4s-4 6s-1] |
436 | SIX, this one goes horribly wrong for Abdulla. Tries the chinaman, but drops it on a shortish length, Patel spots it. He pivots back and muscles the pull into the deep mid-wicket stands |
437 | out Bowled!! bowler strikes. The experiment of sending Patel up the order fails. It was the googly from bowler, wasn't quite short. Patel went for the encore, not the ideal length. He misses and the ball rattles the stumps. bowler exults! batsman b bowler 9(6) [6s-1] |
438 | SIX, in the slot and out of the park. Pitched up just outside off, batsman was waiting for it, plonks his front foot forward and lifts it over long-off |
439 | FOUR, you cannot keep batsman quiet for long. He gets into business, full at 146kph, batsman clears his front leg and bludgeons it back over the bowler's head. Brutal from Maxi! |
440 | SIX, wow! What a strike. Full and outside off, batsman engineers room and slices it with an open bat over extra cover. Such is the power that it carries all the way |
441 | out Bowled!! And that's a beautiful delivery to get rid of batsman. He beat him in the air. Lovely change of pace from bowler. The previous ball came at 100kph, this was nicely floated up, batsman was early into the cut, didn't turn much, anyway was too close to cut and he chops it back onto the sticks off an inside edge. So the ploy to open with bowler works wonders. Disappointment for the team skipper. batsman b bowler 1(4) |
442 | FOUR, that was a poor piece of fielding from the man at third man. So batsman is off the mark straightaway in this IPL. bowler bowled a decent length ball outside off stump, just shaped away from the right-hander, batsman guided that with an angled bat past point and eventually managed to get a boundary |
443 | out Caught by Saha!! Can a wicket keeper take a wicket? He sure can. Catches like those should be awarded to the keeper. Short delivery, got big on the batsman, he went for the pull and managed a big plump edge. The ball skied upwards and stayed there till eternity till Saha circled under it after running back and then despite misjudging it, threw himself in the air to take it out of thin air. Superb take from the mitts-man. batsman c Saha b bowler 28(34) [4s-1 6s-1] |
444 | SIX, MAAMMAAteamAAAHHH! That has sailed over the long-off region. Out of nowhere, Mr. 360 decides to pepper the area down the ground and he got the length to smack it down the ground. Length to ABD is blasphemous |
445 | SIX, good length is synonymous to death in the death overs. Length ball and the batsman hacked the pull shot away to send it packing into the cow corner region. That was out of the top draw from the comeback man! |
446 | SIX, Mr. 360 is back with a bang! Short delivery, it was a dead meat of a delivery for the batsman who was on the back foot, he picked the bones out of that. Pivots on the back foot and then hammers the pull on the on-side for a maximum and with that his fifty. |
447 | SIX, length ball and it disappears. That has been hoicked away into the on-side and that has landed many-a-miles into the deep mid region. He picked it up like he was picking roses in a garden |
448 | FOUR, goes inside-out and cannons the ball over cover for a boundary. That was a full ball outside off and the batsman thwacks the ball over the fielder to get another boundary. Even batsman joins in the act |
449 | SIX, cheers says ABD as he accepts the freebie from the bowler. That was a friendly full toss on the sticks and the batsman went across the line to smack the blow flat between long-on and mid-wicket for a maximum |
450 | FOUR, FIFTY for the combo! This man can do anything and everything with the willow. The pied piper of team treated the bowler as if he hails from Hamelin. That was full outside off and the batsman just steered the ball over the man at point |
451 | SIX, PHHUUUUUU!! 97 metres hit after he sank down on his knee to clobber the ball away towards the deep mid-wicket region. That was a low full toss and the batsman got under it to send it into oblivion |
452 | SIX, full toss, you don't want to know what happened to the bowler. That again forced the batsman to crouch low and trample the ball away into the on-side. That ball almost scaled the moon before it came down |
453 | SIX, his body lost balance. He was done in by the length, which was full, done in by the lack of pace but he reached out for it. He still managed to drag the ball away over long-off and a six it is |
454 | FOUR, in the airrrrrr and just over the leaping Maxwell at mid-on. Vinod is known for his audacious stroke-play. He won't mind playing his shots in any situation. Shortish delivery from bowler, Vinod smacks that from the crease, didn't get hold of it, more a sort of a pull shot it was, the ball just evaded the Punjab skipper |
455 | SIX, on the sticks, he goes down onto his knees and then the biggest of the night is unleashed as the ball scales some other orbit and disappears out of the stadium. Sensational hitting from ABD and team have something to fight with |
456 | SIX, oh my! That's a batsman special. How did he manage to time it so well? Looked like he was initially cramped for room, just moved his legs to the leg-side for a wee bit, somehow managed to get under that ball and loft it inside-out over wide long-off. Right then, he's moved on to 10 off 5. Good start you would say |
457 | no run, yes-no and the last thing team want is for Vinod to run AB out. Thankfully no damage done. He defends this back of a length delivery towards cover-point and blindly sets off, AB rightly sends him back and Stoinis' throw wasn't accurate at the striker's end |
458 | out Caught by Maxwell!! Good captaincy from Maxi. batsman hit a boundary that went aerial over mid-on in the previous over. Now he's placed himself in the deep and swallowed an easy catch. Disastrous start for team after opting to bat. Credit to bowler as well for dropping it short and cramping the batsman for room on seeing the batsman advance, Vinod wasn't in the best of positions to play, yet he went through with the hoick, totally mistimed it in the end. batsman c Maxwell b bowler 7(12) [4s-1] |
459 | out Lbw!! "Aaaaah, aaaaah," goes bowler and the finger goes up. "Definitely going over," says Pup on air, but quickly corrects himself to add, "maybe umpire's call." Body blow for team. Kedar was their hero in Bengaluru, he's out for a 4-ball 1 in Indore. Was that going over the top? Should the benefit of doubt been given to Kedar? This was the nip-backer from bowler, Kedar was on the hop, impact was just around the off stump and hawk-eye shows the ball missing the stumps. Another poor call from the umpire. We've had a few thus far in the series. Ask Mumbai Indians! batsman lbw b bowler 1(4) |
460 | FOUR, bowler missed the yorker by a yard or so and that was just what batsman wanted with the line being middle and leg. He waited for the ball to come and flicked it past the diving mid-wicket fielder |
461 | no run, another yes-no and batsman escapes. A direct-hit would have seen him walk back. He wanted to drive this short of length delivery through cover, got an inside edge to Amla at mid-wicket, AB shouts and sends him back, the throw was wide of the stumps |
462 | SIX, now then, now then! That's hit the roof of the stadium over the square leg stand. What a shot! How effortless was that? This short ball didn't rise much, batsman stood tall, swivelled and muscled the pull shot all the way |
463 | FOUR, and he gets lucky with an outside edge that runs away for four! No one at slip and third man can't cut that off. Natarajan bowled full and outside off stump, batsman reached out to meet the ball, the ball escaped off the edge |
464 | out Caught by Dhoni!! Look at him go. Surely he's inspired by a certain South African in his team - Imran Tahir. As soon as he sees Dhoni complete the catch, bowler is off on a celebratory run. Runs past almost all his mates. Good length ball in the channel around off, batsman has a needless poke at that, the hint of away movement takes the edge and Dhoni does the rest behind the stumps. batsman does not trouble the scorers and team have an early wicket. batsman c Dhoni b bowler 0(5) |
465 | FOUR, classy stuff from batsman. Nothing much wrong with the delivery. Good length ball around off, batsman allowed it to do its bit before opening the bat face and directing it past the backward point fielder. Used the pace on the ball and timed it beautifully |
466 | FOUR, consecutive boundaries for batsman. That should calm the nerves. Overpitched and bowler is punished, batsman strides forward and creams the square drive through the packed off-side field. No need to run for that |
467 | FOUR, tosses it up slow on middle and leg. Overpitched as well. batsman waits for the ball and drills it down the track. No chance for the long-on fielder |
468 | SIX, hits it and poses for the photographs does batsman. That's Instagrammable. Full delivery with no pace behind it. He clubbers it over the bowler's head and the ball sails over the sightscreen. First maximum of the day |
469 | SIX, second six of the over and batsman is turning the heat on here. Very similar to the first six. Full and slow from Bhatia. Once again, batsman thumps it down the ground and the ball lands wide of the sightscreen |
470 | 1 run, just short of the long-on fielder and batsman reaches his fifty! Pitched up delivery, batsman lofted it over mid-on and falls in front of the diving long-on fielder. batsman collects a single to get to his milestone |
471 | SIX, that's a pressure-releaser! Brings up the 50-run stand in style! bowler overpitches and batsman takes full toll of it. Leans forward and sends it sailing over long-off for a gigantic six |
472 | out batsman Run Out!! That's brilliant stuff from Mayank Agarwal. The excellence cuts short batsman's innings. To start with, bowler bowled a wide yorker. batsman squeezes it out, finds Mayank at point and sets off. Mayank finds the target directly and batsman is well short of his ground. batsman run out (Mayank Agarwal) 31(22) [4s-1 6s-2] |
473 | FOUR, nice looking shot! Short ball, batsman has ample time to move across and pull it behind square on the leg-side. Well wide of the fine leg fielder. One bounce over the rope |
474 | SIX, that's a monster! Fired in on the legs of batsman and batsman deposits it into the mid-wicket stands with a heave. That cleared the boundary rope by a long way |
475 | SIX, welcome to your new spell says batsman! Length ball wide of off allowing batsman to free his arms. He is balanced in the crease and elevates it straight over long-off for a six |
476 | SIX, that's a stunning shot! batsman moved leg-side and bowler follows him with a bumper. batsman has no problems whatsoever as he hooks it over square leg. No fielder there and batsman collects another maximum |
477 | FOUR, highest score in this season! Cheeky from batsman! Low full toss outside off, batsman picks it and laps it well wide of short fine and the ball dribbles away into the fence |
478 | SIX, what a stunning way to get to your maiden T20 century! bowler bowls it quick, full and on the stumps, batsman moves slightly to his right and lofts it down the ground. MUSCLED |
479 | out Bowled!! bowler gets his man and batsman walks back raising his bat. Gets a standing ovation from his team mates in the dug-out. It was a flipper that did the trick. batsman looked to pull it through the on-side and failed to make connection. The ball cannons onto the stumps. batsman b bowler 102(63) [4s-8 6s-5] |
480 | FOUR, that's one helluva way to open your account! Leg-break outside off, Morris lofts it inside-out and gets off the mark with a boundary |
481 | SIX, that's a gigantic hit. For a moment, I thought it might go on and land onto the Pune-Mumbai Expressway. Fullish length, Morris moves to his right and wallops it over long-on. That went miles in the air and cleared the fence by a long way as well. High and handsome |
482 | FOUR, the gamble hasn't paid off. A wicket was scalped, but the overall result - 22 runs off the 19th over. Flipper outside off, Morris crouches and lifts it inside out. No chance for long-off |
483 | FOUR, that's a gross delivery! Short of a good length delivery with no pace behind it. Morris moves across and helps it away well wide of short fine. Runs away into the fence |
484 | FOUR, that's a brilliant stroke! bowler can't believe that. He didn't do much wrong there. It was bowled in the blockhole wide of off and Morris opens his bat face and drills the squeeze wide of point |
485 | SIX, wow! Bowls length and gets punished. On the pads and just a flick of the wrists. The ball has more than enough wings to clear the square leg fence |
486 | FOUR, batsman has come out firing. Picked the length early on the short of length delivery, got his front leg up and nailed the pull in front of square. That came smack bang off the middle |
487 | FOUR, fourth boundary in five balls for batsman. The start is getting better for DD. bowler overcompensates and goes full outside off, batsman is up for it and cracks the drive past the diving cover-point fielder. Sped away to the fence |
488 | FOUR, third boundary of the over and bowler leaking runs here. Short and wide outside off, batsman throws the kitchen sink at that and the ball flies off the outside edge, over Faf at slip and into the third man fence |
489 | SIX, fittingly Morris finishes the innings with a six. What a cameo this was from him. bowler bowls it short and Morris easily muscles the pull over deep mid-wicket. The man in the deep is just a spectator. Well that has been the story for the last few overs |
490 | FOUR, excellent batting. On a length and just outside off, batsman goes up and over cover, once he got it through the infield the result was going to be in his favour |
491 | FOUR, bowler too meted out with the same treatment. Good length ball outside off, batsman leans into the drive and places it square. It is a crowded off-side field and he's threaded that to perfection |
492 | FOUR, not a boundary ball but that's T20. Back of length around off, batsman crouches a bit and swats it away wide of mid-on, not off the middle but he had enough wood on that |
493 | FOUR, last over of the powerplay and batsman has decided to cash in. Advances and gets cramped for room, swings with all his might and drags it off the inner part of the bat to the left of short fine, Dinda can only escort the ball to the fence |
494 | FOUR, poor delivery this and bowler is made to pay. Sprays it down leg and that is easy pickings for any batsman, batsman stays inside the line and whips it fine. No chance for Dinda this time around |
495 | out Bowled!! And off he goes. Gets the crowd going as well. batsman is cursing himself off the field. It is yet another start for the Englishman that is not converted. It's always dangerous to shimmy down the wicket for a bowler like bowler, who generally skids the ball through, and that is what happened. batsman came down the wicket and bowler pushed it through, by the time the Kent batsman could get his bat down, the ball was past him and crashed into off-stump. The partnership has been broken and just the opening team needed. batsman b bowler 24(17) [4s-4] |
496 | FOUR, first boundary of the innings. Sweetly timed by Agarwal. Saw the ball dropped on a shortish length, pivoted back and flayed it through cover. This is a mickey-mouse outfield and it zooms away to the fence |
497 | SIX, take that! Says Bhatia. Gets under this short ball and smokes it over deep mid-wicket. Crunching sound of the willow |
498 | SIX, lovely shot, Pune need more of those, batsman skips down the track, gets close to the ball and lifts it high and over long-on for a maximum. Chants of MS, MS from the crowd.. Can he make a big score here? |
499 | out Caught by Nair!! When things go wrong, they go hopelessly wrong. Even his favourite helicopter shot has gone wrong tonight, that should snuff out whatever little hopes Pune might have had. This was tossed up invitingly by bowler, batsman cleared his left leg and whipped it off his toes - flat and hard, but straight to Karun Nair at deep mid-wicket. He didn't have to move an inch, accepts the catch gleefully. MS walks off, so do half the Pune crowd. batsman c Nair b bowler 11(14) [6s-1] |
Subsets and Splits
