19.6
Bhuvneshwar to Chameera, no run, was a slower ball around the tramline, Chameera swung and missed. The replay shows that there's some point of the ball within the stipulated line so it's a legal delivery. DC finish with 162/8

Bhuvneshwar to Stubbs, out Caught by Hazlewood!! Bhuvneshwar strikes again! A pitched up ball on off, Stubbs opens his bat-face a bit and tries to hit it over extra cover perhaps but ends up slicing it towards backward point. Hazlewood settles under it and makes no mistake. A good cameo from Stubbs nonetheless. Stubbs c Hazlewood b Bhuvneshwar 34(18) [4s-5 6s-1]

Bhuvneshwar to Stubbs, out Vipraj Nigam Run Out!! 1 run completed! A very full ball angling in on middle, Stubbs drives it off the toe-end towards mid-off. Kolhi moves to his right and misfield and Stubbs wants to capitalize on that. He desperately wants the strike back so calls his partner through for the second run. Vipraj Nigam sacrifices himself as Kohli gathers himself and throws it to Bhuvneshwar who takes the bails off. Vipraj Nigam run out (Kohli/Bhuvneshwar) 12(6) [6s-1]

Bhuvneshwar to Ashutosh Sharma, out Bowled!! This is brilliant bowling from Bhuvi! The slower ball gets the better of the Impact player who hardly makes any impact. Bhuvneshwar rolls his fingers on this one and bowls it on a length on middle. Ashutosh Sharma crouches in his stance to swipe it across but is ages early into the shot. Ends up missing it completely and the ball hits the top of middle and leg. It cut in after pitching and he also played down the wrong line leading to his downfall. Ashutosh Sharma b Bhuvneshwar 2(3)
16.4

Bhuvneshwar to Rahul, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! Rahul holes out! He was struggling for rhythm and perishes in a bid to up the ante. 122.9kph slower full ball on off, Rahul clears his front leg and tries to hit it downtown but the bat turns on impact and he ends up slicing it towards long-off. Bethell runs in from the deep and gets low to pouch it with both hands inches above the ground. Rahul c Jacob Bethell b Bhuvneshwar 41(39) [4s-3]

2.5

Bhuvneshwar to Abishek Porel, SIX, naah! Hit me ball! Bhuvi has lost it this over. Full and on the pads, easy pick up shot and Abishek Porel had no intentions to keep it down. Away it disappeared handsomely over backward square leg
2.4
Bhuvneshwar to Abishek Porel, 2 runs, this is why they don't want to give him room. Absolutely smashed the cut shot. Romario managed to push it back in time. Ball kept coming back at him but he managed to avoid contact when his boot touched the rope so it's two runs saved
2.3
6
Bhuvneshwar to Abishek Porel, SIX, one-handed slogand they almost had their man too. If only RCB had their man more towards deep mid-wicket, Bethell would have caught it. Great effort anyway. Looks like pace off and it sucked Abishek early into the slog, bottom hand came off but he didn't want to change his shot. Bethell had to run to the right from deep backward square leg. Dived full length but couldn't get his hands on the ball
2.2
Bhuvneshwar to du Plessis, 1 run, crunched away past point
2.1
Bhuvneshwar to du Plessis, no run, already pace off from Bhuvi! Faf advanced, realised he had to defend because Bhuvi didn't pitch this full. Ball defended towards point, Abishek Porel sent back and he slips while reversing. Luckily was home before Virat ignited the stumps direct
0.6
Bhuvneshwar to du Plessis, 1 run, guided away towards point
0.5
Bhuvneshwar to Abishek Porel, 1 run, another inside edge as Abishek looks to play square. Looks like the plan is to cramp him for room. The batter stepped out, Bhuvi dug this in, ill-attempted cut shot and it rolls behind square
0.4
Bhuvneshwar to du Plessis, 1 run, fullish and just outside off stump, Faf taps it to backward point for a sharp run
0.3
Bhuvneshwar to du Plessis, no run, Faf wants a sighter, so he shoulders arms to this outie
0.2
Bhuvneshwar to Abishek Porel, 1 run, much better and he troubles him! The inswinger slightly outside off stump, Abishek tries to dab too square, luckily chops it onto his boot than the poles. Played dangerously with an angled bat
0.1
4
Bhuvneshwar to Abishek Porel, FOUR, but that slip will be of no use if he bowls down leg like that. Tried the inswinger but started too straight and offered an easy glance for Abishek behind square. DC off the mark straightaway!
