END OF OVER:
20 | 4 Runs 1 Wkt | SRH: 186/5 | RR: 9.30

  • Harry Brook27 (19b)
  • Mohammed Siraj4-0-17-1
  • Harshal Patel4-0-37-1

Pranali : "Srh-klassen went at just about run a ball" Yep, as Sidharth Monga observes, Klaasen has scored 104 off 51, others 76 off 69

Stat from Sampath: Heinrich Klaasen vs spinners today: 70 runs, 29 balls, 5 fours, 5 sixes These are the fifth highest runs scored by a batter against spin in an IPL innings.

Heinrich Klaasen: Pretty special feeling, fantastic crowd, glad I got it at home. Wicket's slower than it has been in the season so far. I'm trying to keep my head and hands dead still, sometimes I search the ball with my hands and miss it. I'd love to say we are above par but they've got a great lineup. We need to get the big wickets upfront and we'll be through.

9:08pm: Brilliant ton by Klaasen but RCB pull things back at the last three overs went for just 26 runs. RCB got a couple of quick wickets but Klaasen got going from ball 1. Faf brought in Shahbaz and Klaasen's feast took off and never stopped. The bowling choices, the lack of overs given to Bracewell is a talking point but, with him in that form, it's hard to think how any bowler, let alone spinner, could've contained him. For support, Markram gave him strike and Brook scored at a rate of 142. In the end, Siraj came back and completed a great spell to restrict SRH under 200, which seemed highly likely after 17 overs.

Mohammed Siraj to Phillips, OUT, Pulled in the air, Parnell settles under it and takes an easy low catch at deep backward square. Phillips reviews just as a formality to check if it was the second bouncer over the shoulder for the over. Replay shows it was at rib-height. Fair ball, Siraj ends with figures of 1 for 17.
