  • Moeen Ali with his final over of the day. CSK promotes Ashwin up the order to hold the collapse. He takes no risk off his first over of the day. Four runs from the over. 
  • Rahul Tripathi is all at sea against Narine. A leg bye allows him to get off strike. Couple of singles follow as KKR persist with the pressure. Narine pushes an off-spinner in. Faster one and Tripathi plays all over it. BOWLED!! CSK Sinking!
  • Rahul Tripathi b Narine 16 (22b 1×4 0x6)
  • Chakaravarthy to bowl his second. Into the surface to Tripathi, pulls to long on, one run. Another short delivery to Shankar, pulls, even gets it into the gap but does not find the boundary, just two runs.
  • WICKET! Shankar tries to pick this over square leg with the angle, ends up picking the fielder instead.
  • Vijay Shankar c Moeen b Chakaravarthy 29(21)
  • Shivam Dube at No. 5. He drives the first delivery to long off for a single. Tripathi ends the over with one run to deep square leg.

  • Two runs for Shankar, he works this between deep midwicket and long on, despite the ball holding on after pitching. A single through covers on the fourth. Tripathi pulls again but has to settle for a single once more. Shankar cuts the final delivery, but cannot get it past the cover fielder.
  • Harshit is back for his second over. He starts with a bouncer outside off, this is outside Shankar’s reach, not given a wide. DROPPED! A second repreive for Shankar. He loses control of his on-sided shot, a top edge setting up kindly for Venkatesh Iyer at midwicket, but he loses it in the air and sees it drop in front of him. Harshit is fuming. Two runs off this delivery. A single to deep midwicket on the third.
  • Tripathi on strike now, works the fourth to short midwicket, no run. FOUR! Wide of off stump, Tripathi guides it on its way to the third man boundary. A slower ball to finish the over, Tripathi tries to cut but is beaten.
  • Moeen back into the attack. Tripathi begins the over with a single to long on. SIX! Shankar is clear with his intent. In the slot and Shankar slog sweeps this over deep midwicket. That’s the first maximum of the night.

  • Varun Chakaravarthy to Tripathi, two runs after Andre Russell misfields at mid off. The second is fired into the pads, Tripathi taps to midwicket, no run. Tripathi makes room on the third delivery, tries to cut but just manages one run to covers.
  • FOUR! Shankar pulls this away behind square, slightly short and is there for grabs. FOUR again! This delivery is fuller and straighter, Shankar chips this down the ground presenting a full face of the bat. Two runs off the last ball through deep midwicket.
  • WICKET! Rachin departs! Harshit Rana gets a wicket off his first delivery. This comes from outside the leg-stump line, Rachin looks to heave this through the on side, gets a top edge and Rahane collects this.
  • Rachin Ravindra c Rahane b Harshit Rana 4(9)
  • Vijay Shankar in now. He starts with a slash wide of off, beaten. DROPPED! Narine has put down the easiest catch you’ll ever get. Another leading edge on an attempted flick, it is going straight towards Narine at mid off, has to barely move two steps back, but it bursts through his hands. That’s poor and lazy from the veteran. Unacceptable! Two runs from that.
  • Moeen to continue. CONWAY IS GIVEN LBW! He tries to reverse but misses and the umpire raises his finger. A review taken. There is no turn on this one, heads on straight with the angle, could be missing leg. No bat involved but the ball is just about clipping the leg stump. The on-field call stands. 
  • Devon Conway lbw b Moeen 12(11)
  • Rahul Tripathi at No. 3. He clips the first delivery off his pads, wants a single but his partner denies.
  • A wicket maiden from Moeen.
  • Vaibhav to Rachin, no run, angles across the leftie, Rachin tries to play straight but inside-edges it into the pad. Another dot ball, Rachin blocks from the middle-stump line, it is running to mid on but Vaibhav stops it and prevents the single.
  • Rachin makes room for the third, Vaibhav follows him and hits the block hole. Rachin is sent back by Conway but Rahane overthrows from covers and that gets the pair the run.
  • FOUR! Full and outside off for Conway, goes down the ground. He nudges the fifth ball to backward point, the fielder makes a direct hit at the striker’s end but Rachin is in his crease to complete the single.
  • Moeen Ali to bowl the second over. CHANCE! Conway looks to go through the off side, the delivery does not turn much and takes the inside part of the bat. It is heading towards the bowler but just wide enough to evade his reach. One run to mid on.
  • Rachin gets a thick outside edge towards third man, turns off the surface a bit. Rachin rocks back onto his back foot, and punches through mid off, Rinku puts in a dive to keep this down to one run. The fourth is full and into the pads from around the wicket, Conway drives this to long off for one run.
  • Rachin with a soft tap through the off side, picks one. Conway tries to run down the last past fine leg, does not place it through the gap, no run.
  • Rachin on strike against Vaibhav.
  • A single first up, Vaibhav starts from outside the leg stump, back-of-a-length, Rachin taps to covers for a single. Conway facing his first ball, defends this length ball at the middle-stump line. He tries to charge down on the third, Vaibhav drags it shorter, into the body of the batter, who is forced to defend.
  • FOUR! Some width for Conway to pounce on, leans forward and drives this through point. The fifth shapes away from the left-hander from the off-stump line, Conway defends. Conway cuts the final delivery to deep point, gets one run.

  • We were looking to bat first as well. Quite a few occasions where we tried to chase it down and what we realised is that the wicket slows down a bit, so if you don’t get a good start then the middle order comes under pressure. He has fractured something on his elbow, so he is ruled out of the tournament. It is important, we have lost too many matches and now it is important to do the basics right – have dot balls, take our catches. A couple of games we lost by big margins, but otherwise it was about the small things – about one over going for 20 runs. Our batters are more authentic as batters, they won’t slog everything. They just need to back their instincts. It is important to start well, get boundaries early on and try to get a couple of early wickets as well.
  • Rahul Tripathi replaces Ruturaj Gaikwad and Anshul Kamboj comes in for his debut. 
  • KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane:
  • We’ll bowl first. There were a lot of positives from the last game. We as a team played really well. It is about improving each game. This looks like a good wicket, won’t change much. We are batting deep, so that’s why we look to bowl first and chase things down. One change – Moeen Ali comes in for Spencer.
