- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 this would probably have been wide for height had Kohli not caught up with it. Kohli backs away early, Avesh bounces him, Ko0hli looks for the upper-cut, but gets only the toe end and is caught at third man. It has to be a big mis-hit at Eden for it to be caught because it is such a small ground. So this has missed the good part of the bat by a long way 70/20.5 what a superb delivery. Lovely bowling. It shapes in a little, setting du Plessis up to play for the inswinger, and then pitches on a length and leaves him ever so slightly to take the edge. Golden duck for du Plessis. Mohsin has been the find of this IPL, and here he is on the big occasion sending back someone reputed to be the big-match man 4/110.3 Pandya with the huge wicket. Maxwell plays a shot that is not on. He has looked to hit a big shot every ball, and this one is not on. He is looking to go back to use Pandya's pace and go finer of deep square leg. However, Pandya is not that short here, and he gets no power into the shot. Caught at deep square 86/313.1 and a wicket immediately after the break. Bishnoi goes wide and full, Lomror reaches out, drives it hard, but doesn't bother keeping it down or try to go over the extra cover.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 It's celebration time for the RCB and the Eden Gardens makes its loyalties known with the huge cheer as de Kock falls cheaply. Not the start Super Giants would have wanted. He looks to lift this over mid-on but the bat turns his hands. Easy catch for du Plessis running to his left. 8/118.4 Is this the telling blow? Eden Garden erupts. Hazlewood is down on his knee with his fist up in celebration. Shahbaz Ahmed has run half a lap after timing his jump to catch that. And Rahul has all sorts of emotions on display as he walks back after making a half-century that could well be not enough for his side. He gets across to play the scoop to a low full toss outside off. But does not get it over the short fine leg fielder, who times his jump perfectly. 180/54.3 Catching practice to midwicket as Hazlewood strikes back! Back of a length around off, it climbs on Vohra who looks to heave it over midwicket. Shahbaz runs to his right and takes a good diving catch. 41/214.4 Is there life in this or what? This game is going one way and then the other, see-sawing like only T20 can. Hasaranga gets his man after being hit for a couple of maximums and lets everybody at the Eden Gardens know who the boss is. Bowls the wrong-un with a flatter trajectory, Hooda looks to go over cow corner. Misses it completely and sees the stumps shattered. 137/317.3 Fielder, fielder, takes it! Rajat Patidar is the man at deep extra cover and he couldn't have been found any more perfectly. They check for the height - if it is below the shoulder - and it well is. It was another back of length offcutter outside off. Stoinis hopped and slapped it straight to the fielder, who didn't have to move an inch. 173/418.5 Two in two and is that it for Super Giants? You need to look at Kohli to know in whose favour this game is. It was a full toss at a slower pace. All Krunal could do was to spoon a catch back to the bowler. Walks back for a golden duck. 180/6Extras22 (b 5, lb 2, w 15)TOTAL193/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.65)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Quinton de Kock, 0.6 ov), 2-41 (Manan Vohra, 4.3 ov), 3-137 (Deepak Hooda, 14.4 ov), 4-173 (Marcus Stoinis, 17.3 ov), 5-180 (KL Rahul, 18.4 ov), 6-180 (Krunal Pandya, 18.5 ov)
