RCB vs Daredevils, 43rd match at Bengaluru, IPL, May 19 2008 - Ball by Ball Commentary

all over now, full and on middle and he's swung that way over long-off for a biggie, that was as smooth as a pendulum and Dhawan sets off the celebrations.

full toss, that was an attempted yorker but Dhawan was a bit surprised by it, pushed to mid-off

short again, pulled away to Kumar at deep square leg, keeps the strike, they just need 3 now

backs away, tries to pull it over the infield and gets the short midwicket fielder, Dhawan, by the way, completed 300 runs in the tournament with that four

straight and coming into the left-hander, he tries to loft it over mid-on but a thick inside edge has sneaked the gap between mid-on and midwicket, all the way for four, all over bar the shouting now

full on off, driven but straight to Kallis at short extra-cover

yorker this time, Zaheer goes over the wicket now, Maharoof backs away again and drives confidently through point for a single

what a statement! Maharoof dances down the track and rips a powerful drive through the covers, that's pinged the boundary hoardings hard and they're almost there now

backs away again but Steyn follows him, struck on the body but they manage a leg bye, end of a ferocious spell but Delhi could just get past the tape here

yorker this time, he backs away again but does well to dig it out in the last moment

Huge! Maharoof turns it on when it matters, backs away and blasts a short one way over backward point for six, he's held his nerve under pressure here and come up with a super shot, that's eased the pressure

slower one from Steyn, Dhawan is foxed by it and the tentative chip falls in the gap in the covers, that could have easily been caught

good length ball outside off, that's speedy too, Dhawan smashes one straight into the ground and point stops that over his head, the crowd thinks it's a catch but that clearly bounced on the ground

yorker on middle and leg, Maharoof stands back and pushes to the leg side, tension enveloping the ground now

more drama! Dhawan pushes back to the bowler, it appeared like a bump ball but Kumble completed a low catch and claims it, the fielders look pretty confident but the umpire is not sure, the third umpire is called upon but the evidence is not conclusive. "Not out" says the third umpire

quicker one on middle, turned away to the leg side for a quick single, good fielding at square leg but they're home

full on middle, Maharoof drives it cautiously to mid-on, no run though

got 'em! another one for Kumble. This is turning into a humdinger. Loopy legbreak outside off, Karthik pushes tentatively and that's uppish, Cameron White is a fine fielder and he throws himself at cover to complete a sharp catch, Kumble gets one more. Bangalore is abuzz

fine shot under pressure, on the back foot and cut away behind square, Zaheer can't get there and that's raced away for four

full and outside off, that was the googly and he decided to sweep against the turn, straight to Kumar at deep midwicket
