AB de Villiers is handed the Man of the Match award. His blitzkrieg of 90, which came in 39 balls to be precise, ended any hopes Delhi had of defending the total they had on the board. A truly scintillating knock from the South African was on show tonight.
When a loss occurs, you'd like to look around and figure out where it went wrong, and then attempt to rectify it the next time. But, sometimes, you just have to raise your hands up and admit there was nothing you could do. The Delhi bowlers were unfortunate to be on the end of an onslaught from Mr. 360. There's nothing they could have really done. This is just a night they'd like to put behind them and focus on their next game. Spare a thought for Rishabh Pant though, the young man played a blinder in the first innings to help his side post 174 on the board, but all his hard work was eventually undone by the Protea master of destruction.
You're not hearing this for the first time and you won't hear this for the last time for sure. Bangalore win, courtesy an AB de Villiers masterclass. Man has won the game all on his own. You knew he was feeling it the moment Quinton de Kock was run out comically and he walked out in the middle of the park. Was in red-hot form from the get-go. First smashed a quickfire fifty-partnership with Virat Kohli, then did the same with Corey Anderson and remained unbeaten to ensure his side got over the finish line with two overs to spare. What a player. You can only marvel at his brilliance.
Trent Boult to AB de Villiers. FOUR! What a shot to finish things off! Boult delivers it full and outside off, de Villiers strides forward and drills his drive through extra cover. It screams through and bisects the two fielders in the deep to reach the fence. BANGALORE WIN BY 6 WICKETS (WITH 12 BALLS TO SPARE)!
Trent Boult to AB de Villiers. FOUR! Boult switches to around the wicket and digs in a short ball on off. It's angled in and hence de Villiers leans back and lifts it over short third man for a boundary.
Trent Boult to Mandeep Singh. Full and on the pads, it's flicked in front of square leg for a single.
Trent Boult to AB de Villiers. Shortish and angling away from the batsman, AB goes on his back leg and steers it towards point for a run.
Trent Boult to Mandeep Singh. On a length and around off, Singh taps it down to cover-point and rotates the strike. Can AB finish it in two blows?
Trent Boult to Mandeep Singh. A low full toss on off, Mandeep forces it straight down the ground and takes a couple of runs.
Chris Morris to Mandeep Singh. A slow full toss on middle, dipping in, it's eased through square leg for a run. 12 needed more!
Chris Morris to Mandeep Singh. FOUR! Mandeep is playing his shots. Attacks a length ball outside off and powers it down the ground. Roy from mid off gives the chase and tries to pull it back with a forward dive. Fails to do so and in the process has hurt himself.
Chris Morris to Mandeep Singh. Straighter in line, it's helped off the pads to wide mid on.
Chris Morris to AB de Villiers. Morris speeds in from around the wicket and serves a full toss around leg, de Villiers nudges it to fine leg for a single. Seems he won't be going for his century. The way he played this shot was an indication maybe. Could have smashed it but played it with gentle hands.
Chris Morris to Mandeep Singh. Back of a length delivery outside off, Mandeep guides it down to third man for a run. That's all that's needed.
Chris Morris to Mandeep Singh. Wide! Slips a full ball down the leg side, Singh tries to flick but misses.
Chris Morris to Mandeep Singh. SIX! That came off the top edge and went all the way! Morris angles in a good length delivery on middle, Mandeep swivels with the pull but it flies off the top edge and travels over the keeper for a maximum. Morris has a wry smile on his face. Cannot believe what happened!
