Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders Highlights And Cricket Score 29th Match - T20 Summary
Right then! That bring us to the end of another double-header. Earlier in the day, Hyderabad once again managed to defend a total whereas now, Kolkata have gotten the better of Bangalore for the second time this season. Tomorrow we have a single game and it will be Dhoni's Chennai hosting Shreyas Iyer's Delhi in Pune. Do join us at 2000 IST (1430 GMT) for all the action. Until next time, cheers!
Man of the Match has been adjudged to Chris Lynn for his rollicking 62 which had 7 boundaries and a maximum in it. He took full toll of the reprieve he got when he was on 7 and batted through to win it for his side.
Well, Bangalore have just not arrived it seems. They now have lost back-to-back games in their own den and things are going all downhill for them. Virat Kohli is fighting a lone battle but cricket is a team sport and one man cannot win you games every time. It's hard to fathom what has struck them as they are failing again and again, something no team would like.
Next was Uthappa who gave him good support as he came in and started to slaughter from the word go. His quickfire 36 from 21 balls put Kolkata firmly in the driver's seat. After his dismissal, Rana came in but unfortunately was retired hurt. Skipper Dinesh Karthik blazed his way and nearly got the job done. Remember, Lynn got a life when he was on 7 and boy, how well he has made it count. Batted through to take his side across the finish line with an unbeaten 62. Overall, it was a pretty much collective effort from Kolkata which has seen them bag 2 vital points.
If you would look at the scorecard, it would say a last-over finish but mind you, it was a rather comprehensive win for Kolkata. They have come out all guns blazing after that defeat against Delhi in their previous fixture. Chasing a stiff target of 176, both Narine and Lynn provided an electric start. They built a 59-run association for the opening wicket that set the tone for the chase. However, after a mini rain break, the West Indian departed but the Aussie didn't stop.
Umesh Yadav to Shubman Gill. FOUR! Shubman Gill adds the finishing touch! He removes the helmet and lets out a huge roar in delight. Lynn walks across to him and the entire Kolkata dugout is pumped. Short of a length delivery outside off, Gill gets on top of the bounce and dispatches it through point for a boundary to seal the deal with 5 balls to spare.
Mohammed Siraj to Shubman Gill. Very full on middle, Gill jams it out through mid-wicket and will keep strike for the final over.
Mohammed Siraj to Dinesh Karthik. OUT! What a catch from Virat Kohli. Absolutely stunning but he is fuming from within as he throws the ball back to the umpire after claiming that catch. Back of a length on middle, DK flat-bats it down towards long on. Kohli rushes across to his left, the ball was dying in front of him but he dives forward to snatch it inches above the ground.
Mohammed Siraj to Dinesh Karthik. Wants to finish it off in a cheeky manner. Sees that the third man is inside the ring so tries to play the reverse scoop but fails to connect.
Mohammed Siraj to Dinesh Karthik. Goes deep in the crease to a short ball and pulls it in front of square on the leg side. Yadav out in the deep mops it up but they take two by the time.
Mohammed Siraj to Dinesh Karthik. SIX! That should be the game! Superb strike! Another one on a length outside off, Karthik smashes it up and over long off for half a dozen. The crowd is silent and understandably so.
Mohammed Siraj to Dinesh Karthik. Good length delivery outside off, DK flashes at it but gets it off the toe end of the bat over backward point and comes back for a brace.
Tim Southee to Chris Lynn. Doles out of a full toss, Lynn hits it down to long off and takes a couple of runs. 15 needed from 12 balls. This is in Kolkata's bag.
Tim Southee to Dinesh Karthik. Chips this fuller delivery towards long on and runs one.
Tim Southee to Dinesh Karthik. FOUR! Runs are coming thick and fast and Kolkata are cruising along now! Slower bumper on middle and leg, Karthik swivels a touch and helps it through backward square leg. The man at fine leg had no chance to cut that one off.
Tim Southee to Dinesh Karthik. Well in! Slower delivery on middle, DK comes down the track and works it in the gap at mid-wicket. He calls for two and Lynn responds. There is a direct hit scored at the striker's end and it's referred upstairs. Replays show Dinesh is well in. So two more added to the total.
Tim Southee to Chris Lynn. Very full outside off, squeezed square on the off side for a single.
Tim Southee to Chris Lynn. FOUR! All power! A dipping full toss, Lynn gets underneath it and slams it powerfully down the ground for a boundary. Brutal, really brutal hit!
