plinked to mid-on, it's red rover for PBKS! A limp swipe and the ball nearly dies on Karn Sharma has he stumbles in to complete the catch. Doesn't need to be perfect, because the scorecard already looks good for RCB - victors by 60 runs
RCB vs PBKS, 58th Match at Dharamsala, IPL, May 09 2024 - Match Result
Tap to rate now!
full and wide, Arshdeep pokes it through backward point! Stepped outside leg, came right off the toe of the bat and deep third can't get around
A timely reminder, from yogis: "PSA for the RCB fans 'Hope is what kills you' :P"
short outside off, Arshdeep swipes it into the ground to short midwicket
Slip is back in
fired down at 144kph and wheeched out into the leg side
beats the big heave to leg! Siraj was aiming for the top of off, missed by a whisker
bouncer, 139kph and over the flailing bat of the No. 11. DK can't hold it, either, and they sneak an extra to go with the wide
Arshdeep walks in. Siraj is actually on a hat-trick...
full and flicked... straight to the man back! Harshal picks out deep backward square leg, well held by Ferguson as he steadied himself out by the rope. Golden duck for Harshal and this goose is almost fully cooked
Siraj to bowl out
short, wide and slashed! Chahar frees the arms and clobbers a boundary through backward point
"Do RCB dare to dream about a playoff spot? Their form upturn is coinciding with LSGs downturn in fortune. Three-way fight between RCB, DC and CSK?" What do they have, if not their dreams, PS?
short ball with pace on, swing and a miss
back of a length, 135kph on off stump, blocked
Timeout time, of course. With two wickets standing... Rahul Chahar is the new batter
kerrrrrrrr-splat! Off stump out of the ground, RCB closing in. Superbly bowled by Ferguson, who rocks out what looks like a fiendish legcutter that dips and grips to beats Curran's swing on the inside and send Kings' captain on his way
short and it flies off the edge! Pace on from Ferguson and that results in a boundary to deep third for Curran
back of a length on the stumps and flicked through midwicket
Forecaster has seen enough, 99% for RCB with 78 needed from 30
Harshal Patel is next in
full, straight, hit on the pads... up goes the finger but Ashutosh reviews. No bat involved, I think, but it may be tight on hitting leg stump. Ball-tracking will have the final say, only has to be clipping. Ashutosh seems to have had his mind made up already and starts to walk, as the projection returns "umpire's call". Niton Menon repeats the dose and Kings' last hope heads to the dressing room
length ball on the stumps, 140kph and clipped out to deep midwicket
Another delay here, as Siraj asks for the physio to come out and have a look at something. He's also good to continue
short and veering away wide of Curran's off stump
back of a length, pace off and tapped down into the covers
short and shoveled into the second tier! Ashutosh rocks on to the back foot and helps the ball up and away, 80m over fine leg for his first boundary
full toss, Curran twocks it down to long-on
Prateek: "What a throw by Kohli! If he'd taken to recover, batsman would have been in. Just a great throw from the position he was in."
length ball punched down the ground
Mohammed Siraj returns, 89 needed from 36
