Nortje to Shepherd, SIX, this over could be the difference between a win and a loss. A full delivery angling into leg-stump, Shepherd clears his front leg and helicopters that over wide long-on, perhaps the best ball of the over and that too has flown
19.5
Nortje to Shepherd, FOUR, now the half-volley on the stumps, Shepherd drills it straight down the ground and again too much pace for long-off or long-on to get across and cut it off. What a cameo this is
19.4
Nortje to Shepherd, SIX, six more. A slower ball off-cutter dug in outside off, flat-batted cut over sweeper cover, pure muscle and power from the Guyana man-mountain
19.3
Nortje to Shepherd, SIX, holy hell. Shepherd is turning it on. He shuffles across and it's full on off and middle, he flicks over deep square leg and it has gone out of the ground, Tim David and the MI team loved it, need another ball as this one has disappeared
19.2
Nortje to Shepherd, SIX, what a blow. Fullish outside off, Shepherd leans back and gives it everything, a flat hit and it did not seem to have the legs to go all the way, but it flies into the crowd at long-on
Vivek Rajdev: This is not the fearless Hardik Pandya we used to know, one who would hit the bowlers for fun. In this match and even the match against SRH he played at a strike rate of around 100. Is this the burden of captaincy hampering his performance?
19.1
Nortje to Shepherd, FOUR, this man is another beast. A slower ball leg-cutter outside off, shortish and Shepherd has pumelled this straight down the ground, no chance for long-off and long-on

In reply to Narper

A short-leg under the lid and a slip in. What will Pooran do?

Noor Ahmad to Stoinis, 1 run, dropped by Rashid Khan from long-off. Tossed up googly on middle and leg, Stoinis gets forward to loft, thick leading-edge and Rashid ran in a long way and slid, but drops it

In reply to Narper

Timeout! Just when Stoinis was looking to up a gear, he fell but still Pooran is there and he is key for LSG to get above 170.

hety and rovwan have this wan.

In reply to shivnotout

How come Hetty batting higher than the WI cappo?

In reply to googley

because ah this

out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Edged and gone! Powell is walking. Banged in short outside off, Powell probably didn't expect it. Good lift outside off and Powell looks to pull. Not a convincing shot and all he manages to get is a faint top edge. Jitesh Sharma doesn't err. Punjab continue to fight. Powell c Jitesh Sharma b Sam Curran 11

Rajasthan Royals need 11 runs in 8 balls

hety deh deh

In reply to shivnotout

Yall putting too much pressure on the WI cappo
