KKR vs Kings XI, Qualifier 1 at Kolkata, IPL, May 27 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Okay well looks like the presentation will not be shown. The Mumbai game is underway. We will try and get you the Man of the Match as soon as possible. Umesh a strong contender.
Just heard that Umesh Yadav is the Man of the Match. No presentation on TV. You can catch the latest from the Mumbai game. Thanks for your company. Enjoy the Eliminator!
End of match: So KKR are the first team to make the final of IPL 2014. Kings XI have lost but they are not out of it yet. They will have another crack at the final when they meet the winner of the eliminator between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, about to take place in Mumbai. Kings XI's second chance will be on Friday.
8 wins on the trot for KKR. At this point they look primed to lift the trophy. Kings XI's defeat has added to the intrigue. We will have to wait a bit for the presentation once the Mumbai toss is out of the way.
Vidhu: "Its time KXIP should get Marsh and rest one bowler. They anyways are not able to restrict teams to a low total."
this was fired outside off and he made room to slap this but missed
that's a good bouncer, really quick for Johnson and he swings and misses
slower one to Johnson and he makes room to swing and misses
fires a length ball on the stumps and he makes room to push it to cover and only a single
Umesh begins the over by getting rid of Bailey, this was a length ball on the off stump and he looked to swing this over long-on but he picked Pandey, easy take
30 off the final over. Umesh will have to bowl the worst over of his life if KKR are to lose this
Shri: "3 sixes in an over by 3 different batsmen....how many times we have seen this before?"
how do you out him away? Another swing and a miss against an off break
this one stopped on him as he miscued the pull to the vacant area at square leg
swings and only gets an outside edge, Kings XI really struggling
skidded through and he punched it to the off side
sharp turn again and he made room and looked to slash but missed
Johnson looks to slog this away, big offcutter and he misses
two in the over! This was a low full toss and Bailey was down the track and sent it a few rows over deep midwicket
swings the first ball away! Tossed up on middle and he gets on his knee and deposits it a few rows over wide long-on
an easy stumping, Dhawan was down the pitch looking to hit out, the ball skidded through, beat him and Uthappa did the rest
palmed over the rope! On the leg stump and he slogs it flat down to fine leg and Umesh was at the edge and it was over his head but he couldn't hang on
full ball and he drives to wide long-off and Suryakumar does well to slide and cut it off, nearly fluffed it
Badhri: "@Ashvini Not sure about that. Beating Chennai in a knock out game is not the same as beating them in two league games. Chennai are BIG match players and have been in the last 4 finals, remember."
he finally connects well, tossed up on the off stump and he gets on his knee and sends it a few rows over deep midwicket
Bailey makes room and looks to smash it through the off side and misses
