Series: Indian Premier League, 2017 Venue: M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru Date & Time: Apr 27, 08:00 PM LOCAL
RCB 134 (20)
GL 135/3 (13.5)
Gujarat Lions won by 7 wkts
PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Andrew Tye

RCB really struggling with the nature of the pitch at home this year. Their batting order generally likes the ball to come on to aid strokeplay, which hasn't been the case. It's underwhelming to see a team with such talent nearly out of the race so early in the piece. But a big confidence booster for Gujarat Lions nevertheless. It will give their net run rate a boost too. That's all for today. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Raju Peethala, Akshay Maanay and Kumar Abhisekh Das.

Tye: Execution of the hat-trick ball wasn't as good as last time. We were desperate for the win. Glad that we got the result tonight. Keeps us alive in the competition. The plan was to hit a good length against Gayle. It was the back end of the powerplay and I knew he would look to hit soon. I was just lucky I got it in the right spot. It was a pretty good wicket. We had expected it to break up a little bit. But it was a high class wicket, had something in it for the pacers. Suited our attack tonight. Nathu showed the other day that he certainly belongs at this level. Him and Basil have bright futures. Pretty hectic schedule this year, but the fans here are unbelievable. They just love cricket and India is always a special place to play cricket.

AJ Tye is Man of the Match

Raina: We have done really well in all departments. AJ, Faulkner and Jadeja bowled really well. Baz and Kishan started well. Whenever you have leftie-rightie combination, it always works for you. Then Finchy batted beautifully. He was just telling me to stay there. He was smashing everything. Wicket was doing something with the new ball. The wicket of Gayle was the turning point. Team effort today. Basil and Nathu were very accurate. Very happy today. We haven't done well in bowling department, we can still improve. The combination was brilliant today. Smith is a team player, he's done well for us. Jimmy and AJ they played very well for couple of years in the IPL. This win will give us a lot of confidence moving forward.

Virat Kohli: It is never easy to lose games. Especially, when you have a lack of intent and you lose games, it is not easy. Last two games we have lost like that. Still, five games to go. If we turn things, we can get some momentum in the later stages of the tournament. Tonight we were not clinical. You have to come out and play with intent. You need some luck going your way. The only way you can come out of it is by playing positive cricket. The guys were hesitant in trying to do different things on the field. I feel that should not never be the case. We should enjoy the tournament. We are putting too much of pressure on ourselves as a team. Individuals have to take responsibility. It should not be the same two-three guys performing all the time. Hopefully, we can string some strong performances in the upcoming games and turn it around. It was coming on decently well. I thought it would be slow. Under lights, it is a different perspective altogether. During the Mumbai game, in the day time, it was slow. Credit to Finch, he played a fantastic knock. In a small chase, it is important for one guy to step up and he did. Credit to him for taking his team through. He did not give us any chance of coming back into the game.

22:58 Local Time, 17:28 GMT, 22:58 IST: Another disappointing batting performance from RCB. Their top-order caved once more and that momentum was never reversed. 134 would have taken some defending here, even with the tacky nature of the pitch. Samuel Badree gave some hope by getting rid of both GL openers cheaply, but it was snuffed out pretty quickly by a rampaging Finch who played at a different level and smoked a half-century in just 22 balls on a pitch where most batsmen struggled. Raina tagged along playing an unusually scratchy knock, probably jolted by the little bump he took on the shoulder in the field. But he managed to find his fluency towards the end and closed the game off. A comprehensive win for GL in the end. As for RCB, they can only get to seven wins at best. They might be out of the race already, barring something really spectacular.

13.5

Head to Raina, 1 run, flat on off, Raina whips it through mid-wicket to bring up the win. They've coasted home with 37 balls to spare

13.4

Head to Raina, FOUR, another one. He's timed this even better. Up and over extra-cover, the fielder dives in the deep but the ball sneaks through

13.3

Head to Raina, FOUR, that's a really good shot. It's inside-out but it's off the back foot which is not easy to do at all. Flat from Head and sliding in, Raina stays in the crease and somehow finds the power to lift it over extra-cover and take it to the boundary

13.2

Head to Jadeja, 1 run, arm-ball on off, Jadeja punches it through cover

13.1

Head to Raina, 1 run, eyes his favourite inside-out drive but Head slides this on to catch a thick inside edge behind square

Travis Head, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

12.6

Negi to Jadeja, no run, tucked to short fine, sent back by Raina

12.5

Negi to Raina, 1 run, fires it in on leg, Raina nudges behind square

12.4

Negi to Raina, SIX, races to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over wide long-on. Raina may have the net run-rate at the corner of his eye

12.3

Negi to Jadeja, 1 run, cuts this one through the covers

12.2

Negi to Jadeja, no run, darted across outside off, beats Jadeja for pace and beats his cut

12.2

Negi to Jadeja, wide, fires it down the leg-side, wided

Ravindra Jadeja, left handed bat, comes to the crease

12.1

Negi to Finch, out Caught by de Villiers!! Gone. Finch's knock comes to an end. Flat from Negi, following Finch as he backs away, cramps him up a touch and he miscues the pull straight to long-on. But what a knock it's been. He's blown RCB away. Finch c de Villiers b Negi 72(34) [4s-5 6s-6]
