- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 lofted elegantly, but finds long-off! Looked like he checked his shot late, not entirely lofting his arms to play that aerially, as Jadeja pitched that full on off, and Shaw presented the full face of the bat. A dominant innings comes to an end 80/43.2 the angle does the trick! Full on middle, and angling across from Dhawan. He opens the bat's face to drive through the off side. Minimal footwork, ball moves away after pitching, and there's the edge. Four and out! 36/15.3 in the air and taken by cover point running square to take it. Full on middle, angling into leg. Iyer looks to clip it away behind square leg for runs, but the leading edge took the ball in the other direction. That's two quick wickets 50/29.4 out or six? Taken by the sub and Moeen wins this battle. Good length ball just outside off. Axar rocks back to flat-bat a shot over Moeen. But a bit of extra bounce and he ends up mistiming the shot. Santner (on the field for Hazlewood) makes no mistake running in from long on 77/318.4 taken at deep midwicket! This time Hetmyer finds the fielder right where he was positioned. He went for the pull to this short of a length ball just outside off, but the ball seemed to have bounced more than what Hetmyer expected, and the ball came off the higher side of the bat. A very good hand from Hetmyer comes to an end, although of course it would have been ideal for Capitals had he stayed till the end 163/5Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL172/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Shikhar Dhawan, 3.2 ov), 2-50 (Shreyas Iyer, 5.3 ov), 3-77 (Axar Patel, 9.4 ov), 4-80 (Prithvi Shaw, 10.2 ov), 5-163 (Shimron Hetmyer, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.1 Axar takes it nice and low on deep midwicket! Gaikwad went deep in his crease to hammer that low full-toss on off, but ended up getting it from the inside half of the bat. Axar had to run in forward, and then dive falling on his elbow 149/50.4 pace does the job! Crackin' delivery. Full ball, seam up. Lands on middle, and skids right through. du Plessis tries to flick across the line but the ball has zipped through the bat-body gap. 3/113.3 smartly completed by Iyer at long-on after a bit of muddle there! Iyer remains composed as he is about to fall over across the rope and with Axar running across in front of him from deep midwicket. Iyer ultimately popped the ball back in the air while being forced by the momentum to go beyond the boundary, and came back in to finish it off cleanly in the end. Anyway, Uthappa looked to pull this shortish ball outside off, but seemed to have got that from the higher side of the bat. A commanding knock comes to an end 113/213.6 goes slogging, but that is taken by Iyer at long-on! A first-ball duck for Thakur, and the experiment doesn't come off. That was a back-of-a-hand slower ball from Curran, pitching pretty full and outside off. Thakur simply looked to swing his bat a touch away from his body, but sent that sailing to the man on the rope. Iyer in action again, but this catch is a lot simpler. Another blow for Super Kings 117/314.4 Iyer fires a throw to Rabada at the bowler's end, and Capitals now get Rayudu, who is run-out. The bat was well short of the crease as Rabada clipped the bails, collecting the ball very close to the stumps, with the ball bouncing high after pitching just before him. It was a slower ball on a short of a length on off, and he pulled that over midwicket. Iyer at long-on rushed to his right, and launched that throw bang to the bowler. Some late drama here 119/419.1 pulls, but finds deep square leg! Another blow for Super Kings here. This was bowled short and on off, and Moeen seemed to have been beaten by the lack of pace, ballooning the ball right where Rabada was waiting. That is a wicket, and of course a dot ball to start the final over 160/6Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL173/6 (19.4 Overs, RR: 8.79)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Faf du Plessis, 0.4 ov), 2-113 (Robin Uthappa, 13.3 ov), 3-117 (Shardul Thakur, 13.6 ov), 4-119 (Ambati Rayudu, 14.4 ov), 5-149 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 18.1 ov), 6-160 (Moeen Ali, 19.1 ov)
