Dushmantha Chameera	4	0	20	2	5.00	11	2	0	0	0
13.3 to SR Hain, Another hard-length ball has a batter feather a cut to the keeper. Hain made room and tried to hit hard and square, he gets a thickish edge and looked back in disappointment as Gurbaz takes a good low catch. Replay shows Hain had his feet jammed while playing it, the deflection took the ball away from the keeper. So it was good work. 111/7 17.2 to AD Russell, Russell buries his face in the ground after carving the slow, wide ball straight to backward point! Russell wanted to use the pace and either hit the gap or go up and over but the slowness meant he skewed it straight to Kuggeleijn. Chammera jumps up and pumps his fist after saving potentially 30+ runs. 163/8
Jason Holder	4	0	47	1	11.75	10	4	3	2	1
19.5 to SP Narine, Narine tries manufacturing a boundary around the corner but Holder hits timber. Narine went across outside off before the ball came in, it was full and on leg at pace. Narine tried whipping it late, missed altogether. Good comeback from Holder. 183/9
Scott Kuggeleijn	4	0	44	2	11.00	10	4	3	2	0
7.1 to S Kalyan, Kalyan makes room, tries going over cover and is nicked off. Kuggeleijn followed him with a three-quarter-length ball. Batter was still beside the line of the ball but couldn't lift it while on the move. Feathers it off the outside edge. Gurbaz takes a dolly. Capitals back in biz. 62/3 7.4 to A Sharafu, Feathered again, this was a nothing shot. Tad back of a length on fourth, 133ks, Sharafu was jumping as he tried, tentatively, to run it to third. Just whisked his wrists meekly and ran it off the edge to Gurbaz. 63/4
Roelof van der Merwe	3	0	25	1	8.33	6	4	0	0	0
4.2 to MS Pepper, Tight call for lbw, not given. Long chat between vdM and Warner. Review taken with two seconds to go. Full, orthodox ball from around the wicket and wide of the crease. It was slow and Pepper was into the reverse sweep before the ball came through. His stance was switched. So the front leg was outside off, the back knee was on the ground and the ball hit him on the back thigh. Impact is in front of middle and Hawk-Eye predicts it'd go on to smash leg stump. 40/1
Akif Raja	2	0	25	2	12.50	4	5	0	1	0
5.3 to JM Clarke, Great catch by Bullings at midwicket. he leaps low to the left and snaffles it with a full reach. Akif had run his fingers along the ball and went into the pitch, it was outside off and Clarke dragged it across with a pull. Got it off the bottom-half of the bat but it was still travelling. Not rapid enough for Billings though. 50/2 11.2 to LJ Evans, Powell takes a stunner and falls back at long-on while holding on. He was a few feet in from the boundary, maybe to cut twos, but the commentator notes that the wind is blowing in that direction. Powell, nonetheless, stood forward, saw the ball sailing, flew across to the right, plucked it and fell on his back. Evans had danced down and tried to club the length ball off the back foot from outside off. He was looking good but has to go.. 95/5
Sikandar Raza	3	0	21	1	7.00	6	2	0	1	0
12.3 to Imad Wasim, Skied and Holder takes it at long-off. Raza slowed his pace down, bowled it on a fullish length outside off. Imad tried to lift it through the line but lopped it off the bottom. Holder came down and snaffled it.. 107/6

0.3 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Swings into the pads and it's lifted straight to deep square leg! That's a soft dismissal in T20 standards. Three-quarter length ball in the mid 130kph range curved into the front pad, Gurbaz whipped it with a flurry but misplaced it. Easy catch for Hain.. 1/1 4.6 to SW Billings, Spooned straight to mid-off. The sedate power play gets even duller for Capitals. This was pitched up around off, 133ks, Billings was through the off-drive way too early and chipped it down mid-off's lap. Willey pumps his fist. 21/3
Josh Little	3	0	27	1	9.00	10	2	2	1	0
1.6 to BR Dunk, Softie. Clipped straight to midwicket! Overpitched on the pads, the shot was on and Dunk ended up hitting it to his chest. Would've been four if it'd gone a few metres either side but Little was on the right side of luck. 9/2
Imad Wasim	4	0	26	2	6.50	10	2	1	0	0
7.3 to Sikandar Raza, Raza has been outsmarted by Imad. The batter danced down, may have started early, Imad looped it on a length. The line was outside off, Raza tried mowing it across the line. The top edge was found, it got a lot of height but Evans had to run in from long-on to take it. Raza is livid as he walks back. Imad now has 300 T20 wickets. 52/4 11.5 to DA Warner, That must be the game. Warner smiles in resignation after he joins the long list of Capitals' players to pick out the fielder to perfection. Flat arm ball on a fullish length angled in at the pad, Warner went on one knee and slog swept it. Got decent connection but it went flat and straight to Hain at deep-backward square. 75/7
Sunil Narine	3	0	22	2	7.33	9	1	2	0	0
8.3 to R Powell, Another soft dismissal, Powell cuts it straight to short third! It's the fifth time Narine's gotten Powell, who turns around and admonishes himself. Was a shortish wide ball at 90ks, the shot seemed on but the ball popped off a top edge. Imad takes it around head height. Replay shows Powell crouched and may have gotten too far down. 55/5 10.3 to R Chopra, Swept straight to deep-backward square! Slow, shortish ball around the stumps. Chopra got on one knee and went aerially but without all the power. It went flat to Hain's breadbasket. 67/6
Andre Russell	3	0	22	1	7.33	7	3	0	0	0
16.5 to JO Holder, Taken finally! Long-on runs across to the right and grabs it with fingers pointing up, finishes with a tumble. Was a full toss at the stumps, Holder tried clubbing it across the line but got it off the bottom-quarter of the bat. Decent cameo from Holder but Russell, like he did in the first innings, has the last laugh. 124/8
Ali Khan	3	0	32	0	10.66	4	2	2	2	0
