Krunal Pandya 2-31(4 ov)

15.6
Krunal Pandya to Hetmyer, 2 runs, length on leg-stump, Hetmyer nudges it wide of Salt at deep mid-wicket and since the Guyanese is not a fast runner, he has to dive and does so to get back in. Salt was the fielder, the throw was flat but wide of Jitesh Sharma and that allowed Hetmyer to dive and get in. A direct-hit and Hetmyer was gone
15.5
Krunal Pandya to Hetmyer, 2 runs, flat length delivery on leg-stump, turned wide of deep backward square-leg and an easy two

15.3

Krunal Pandya to Dhruv Jurel, SIX, 20 rows back at deep mid-wicket. This length delivery just outside off sits up and Dhruv Jurel goes on the back foot and pulls meatily, did not rush himself there
15.2
Krunal Pandya to Hetmyer, 1 run, slower and tossed up on off, Hetmyer gets forward to drive to extra-cover, he was looking for a big hit but then adjusted well
15.1
Krunal Pandya to Hetmyer, no run, down leg, Hetmyer sinks low to slog, misses, was a free-hit almost, since he was on his haunches, he has to send Dhruv Jurel back, who was halfway down the track, the ball went to short fine-leg
13.6

Krunal Pandya to Hetmyer, FOUR, ends the over badly. Was a delivery down leg, Hetmyer just needed a faint tickle and he flicks and gets that, well wide of short fine-leg and it runs away. Krunal Pandya is disappointed and he shows it
13.5
Krunal Pandya to Dhruv Jurel, 1 run, dipping low full-toss on middle, Dhruv Jurel sweeps to deep backward square-leg

Krunal Pandya to Nitish Rana, out Caught by Bhuvneshwar!! Good catch and Krunal Pandya is pumped. Big wicket this. Length delivery on middle, Nitish bends low to sweep, Bhuvi needn't have leapt there at short fine-leg but does so, palms it up before catching the rebound. Krunal hugs Bhuvi. This has been a fine spell from Krunal and he has his 2nd. Nitish Rana c Bhuvneshwar b Krunal Pandya 28(22) [4s-3 6s-1]
13.3
Krunal Pandya to Dhruv Jurel, 2 wides, fires it down leg, Dhruv Jurel flicks and misses, Jitesh Sharma misses too and that's two wides

9.4
Krunal Pandya to Dhruv Jurel, no run, big inside-edge on to pad and that's why Dhruv Jurel was smiling as he reviewed immediately. Length delivery drifting into middle, Jurel gets forward to push and the big inside-edge goes on to pad, big appeal and umpire Ulhas Gandhe raises the finger. Immediately gestures to umpire Michael Gough that there may have been an inside-edge. Not much time taken by the third ump as the UltraEdge shows a big spike when ball is next to bat

Krunal Pandya to Riyan Parag, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Krunal Pandya strikes first ball. A break before this over to check if the ball was dead after the last ball of the over has halted the momentum of RR. It's a tossed up full delivery on middle and leg, Riyan Parag aims a big slogsweep and the top-edge goes straight up. Jitesh Sharma calls for it and takes it comfortably. That's the wicket RCB needed badly. First wicket for Krunal Pandya at the MCS this season. Riyan Parag c Jitesh Sharma b Krunal Pandya 22(10) [4s-2 6s-2]
