Anshuman Rath 73(97)
34.1
Kuldeep Yadav to Anshuman Rath, out Caught by Rohit!! There's the wicket. For the XI on the field. For the millions watching the partnership is finally broken. Rath is livid with himself. Lets out a roar and thuds his gloves hard into the bat. Nonetheless, the 20-year-old Hong Kong skipper walks off to a standing ovation. He has put his team in ascendancy and it is up to the rest to take them over the line. Flighted full delivery and the intent to be more aggressive makes Rath drive it in the air towards cover, the ball was traveling quickly and Rohit took a sharp one. He couldn't afford to drop that. Sighs in relief and the crowd also find their voice. Anshuman Rath c Rohit b Kuldeep Yadav 73(97) [4s-4 6s-1]

9.2
SN Thakur to Anshuman Rath, FOUR, shot! What a shot by the skipper! Short and wide outside off, Anshuman connects his square cut now and it's enough to beat the man at point. That shot would have earned him quite a few fans
9.1
SN Thakur to Anshuman Rath, 2 runs, a desperate dive by Anshuman saves him. Dhoni was confident that he'd got the opener but he was wrong. The left-handed batsman had nudged it away to fine leg and a flat throw by Khaleel at the striker's almost had Anshuman in trouble
8.6
Bhuvneshwar to Nizakat Khan, FOUR, freebie of a delivery! Short one at the body and Nizakat hooks it towards long-leg. There was nowhere near the boundary and the batsman gets another four. Not a great display of bowling by Indian pacers. Time to introduce spin, perhaps

5.1
Khaleel Ahmed to Nizakat Khan, 1 run, nurdles the length delivery away to deep square leg and gets a single
4.5

4.4

4.1
Bhuvneshwar to Anshuman Rath, no run, on a length around middle and leg, eased back to the bowler by Anshuman
3.6
Khaleel Ahmed to Nizakat Khan, FOUR, that's a mediocre fielding effort. Bowler isn't pleased and he has all the right to do so. This was full and wide outside off, Nizakat reaches for it with a cut but a misfield at cover-point is enough to fetch him his second boundary of the over. Dinesh Karthik was the culprit on that occasion
2.5
Bhuvneshwar to Anshuman Rath, no run, shaping away from the batsman in the corridor of uncertainty, Rath has a feeble poke but the ball moves away a touch and goes past his outside edge
2.4
Bhuvneshwar to Anshuman Rath, no run, solid to stay rooted in his crease and defend it right underneath his eyes
2.3
Bhuvneshwar to Anshuman Rath, no run, he's getting the ball to move but has been a touch unlucky. This was on a good length outside off, Rath did get an outside edge as the ball moved away but as he had played it with soft hands, it didn't carry to the man at first slip
2.2
Bhuvneshwar to Nizakat Khan, 1 run, angled into the batsman with a touch of movement but Nizakat is quick to bring his bat down and nudge it away towards wide mid-on
1.5
Khaleel Ahmed to Nizakat Khan, 1 run, leading edge but on a few bounces towards point. Nizakat was a touch early in his flick and the rising delivery catches his leading edge as it rolls towards point. Rayudu fumbles and recovers but after the batsmen have taken a single
0.5
Bhuvneshwar to Nizakat Khan, 1 run, reaches for the away swinging delivery with a late steer to get a single at third man
