Anrich Nortje 3-33(4 ov)
19.6
Nortje to Shahbaz Ahmed, 1 run, back of a length outside off, it's climbing up and Ahmed can manage to punch it to extra cover
19.5
Nortje to Washington Sundar, byes, 1 run, short, pacy delivery outside off. Sundar swishes his bat but to no avail. They will sneak in a bye
19.4
Nortje to Udana, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! Udana perishes. Nortje works him out with a short delivery. This rose up sharply to trouble the batsman. Udana was hoping to muscle it out of the park. Got done in by the extra bounce, skies it in the air as he mistimes it. Iyer calls for it, back-pedals and swallows it up at mid-off. Udana c Shreyas Iyer b Nortje 4(2) [4s-1]
19.3
Nortje to Udana, FOUR, woah! Udana can bat, he definitely can. Nothing delivery from Nortje. Fuller length in the slot, Udana unwinds with a loft over mid-off. Precious runs for RCB these
19.2
Nortje to de Villiers, out de Villiers Run Out!! 1 run completed. And there goes RCB's hopes of a strong finish. de Villiers thrashes it away to long-on, wanted the strike back at any cost but there was no second there. Rahane is a brilliant fielder and his throw to the keeper is very accurate. Despite AB charging across and put a full-length dive, he was well short of the crease. Good job by Pant to whip the bails off in a flash. de Villiers run out (Rahane/Pant) 35(21) [4s-1 6s-2]
19.1
Nortje to de Villiers, no run, loopy full toss outside off, de Villiers was surprised for a moment as he was through the shot early. Meets only thin air
15.6
Nortje to Chris Morris, out Caught by Pant!! Edged and gone. Two in the over for Nortje. RCB are losing the plot here. Dug in short at full-throttle, Morris was backing away to the leg-side, slashes at it with zero control and feeds an outside edge behind. Got ruffled by the extra bounce, did Morris. Pant takes a good catch behind. DC on top here. Chris Morris c Pant b Nortje 0(2)
15.5
Nortje to Chris Morris, no run, drives this airly in front of extra cover
15.4
Nortje to Devdutt Padikkal, out Bowled!! 152.3kph, full and straight. Padikkal gives himself too much of room and misses it altogether. You-miss-I-hit stuff. Padikkal simply had to go for it, so wanted to take on Nortje. But his plans went astray. Can't handle the pace of Nortje, who aimed it at the stumps. The partnership has been broken and RCB have lost the set batter here. Delight on the faces of DC's players. Devdutt Padikkal b Nortje 50(41) [4s-5]
15.3
Nortje to de Villiers, 1 run, slanting in, shaved away to long-on
15.2
Nortje to de Villiers, SIX, bang! This is right of the screws. Nortje sticks to the fuller length again outside off, de Villiers sets a strong base on his occasion and muscles it over mid-off. They went upstairs to check if it was a four or a six but it landed full on the ad cushions, replays confirmed
15.1
Nortje to de Villiers, 2 runs, in the air and just out of Iyer's reach at mid-off. de Villiers miscues this full delivery and skews it uppishly. Iyer backtracked, went with both hands but it was out of his grasp. Close shave for AB there
5.6
Nortje to Devdutt Padikkal, no run, 144.7kph short ball close to the batsman's neck, Padikkal arches back and drops his gloves to allow it to sail past him
5.5
Nortje to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR, that's what pace does. 148kph back of a length delivery around off, Padikkal just patted it on the head and angled it behind square on the off-side, there was a deep point in place but he had no chance of stopping that
5.4
Nortje to Kohli, 1 run, short of length outside off, Kohli steers it to third man
5.3
Nortje to Kohli, FOUR, third time lucky! Kohli drove the first two balls not quite convincingly like this one but found the fielder, but not this time. 144.2kph back of a length and outside off, Kohli is on his toes as he crunches the back foot drive through the extra cover region
5.2
Nortje to Kohli, no run, fullish delivery close to off, Kohli drives and picks out the extra cover fielder
5.1
Nortje to Kohli, no run, 143kph good length ball outside off, Kohli drives on the rise straight to mid-off
3.6
Nortje to Philippe, 1 run, 141kph good length ball around off, Philippe makes room and mistimes the drive to cover-point, calls for a tight single and Padikkal had to hurry, the throw from Stoinis is not on target and there's no harm done
3.5
Nortje to Philippe, no run, more like the Nortje length - back of a length around off, Philippe is rushed into his pull shot and mistimes it to mid-on
3.4
Nortje to Devdutt Padikkal, 3 runs, another loft over the off-side field. Once more Nortje goes full with his length and is dropped kicked over mid-off, not quite the timing like the last one and that allows Rabada to chase it down, he parries the ball in even though his hand was close to the ad cushions. Close call and the third umpire went with the fielder
3.3
Nortje to Devdutt Padikkal, no run, that's an excellent riposte from Nortje. He immediately drags the length back and keeps it in the corridor of uncertainty, Padikkal has to play at it and is lucky to have not edged it
3.2
Nortje to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR, lovely shot! Overpitched delivery and Padikkal just used the pace of Nortje, extended his arms and lofted the 145.2kph delivery over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes
3.1
Nortje to Philippe, 1 run, 142.2kph good length ball and Philippe mistimes the drive towards mid-on. The ball rushed on to him forcing the bat to turn and the shot to be dragged into the on-side
