low full toss into the pad, they get a leg-bye. That is the win for DC
DC vs KKR, 16th Match at Sharjah, IPL, Oct 03 2020 - Match Result
That ends our presentation for tonight. Thanks for joining us
Shreyas Iyer, also the Man of the Match: "It is rally difficult to defend here. Such an amazing total but still. It is always a thrill to come and play here. Winning the match is an icing on the cake. I thought today was the right time to take the bowlers on on a smaller ground. I took it one six at a time. I won't say I am a gifted player because I know the hard work and smart work I out into it. We keep talking about the close victories. This was one of them, and it is always satisfying. That after losing Mishra when he was bowling so well. We were confident we had two good overs left but you never know on this wicket at Sharjah. We have got a good platform, but we have to be insatiable from here on."
Dinesh Karthik: "The way the boys batted is something I am proud of. We kept fighting, which is the nature of this team. To be honest, a couple more sixes, and we would have crossed the line. So not much to fault the bowlers for. Perhaps 10 runs too many, but two more hits and we might have been through. We want to give Russell more time to make an impact on the game. We will discuss Narine's role with the coaches, but I have got full confidence in Narine."
DC at the top of the table after a smooth win against KKR. They batted to a plan before unleashing mayhem in the last five overs. Their two big fast bowlers gave them the start they needed. Russell batted in the middle, but failed. And then when Morgan and Tripathi made it interesting, Nortje came back to seal the deal
another yorker, beats him, but also missed the leg stump
DC two balls from reaching the top of the table
another slower yorker, taken on the full for a dive to wide long-on
Chandra: "Nortje's bowling is the difference between the teams. It has to be him as the man of the match if Stoinis holds his nerve."
short ball, pulled down to deep backward square leg for one
Mavi joins Nagarkoti
that's the game then. Dipping slower yorker at 126ks, and it squeezes under Tripathi's swing to dislodge the off stump
wide low full toss, Tripathi is on a knee and drives with an open face over point. Missing quite a few yorkers, and it is understandable with the dew around
Niortje has more than done his job. Not only has he given the next bowler more than 20 to defend, he has got the wicket of Morgan too. Here is Stoinis
back of a length, outside off, punched to long-on, and Tripathi refuses the single
short of a length, outside off, a misfield at point allows them to come back for the second
New man to face now. DC are looking for dots here
full toss, again cramps him up, concedes just the single to deep midwicket
Nagarkoti is the new man in. He can hit a long ball, but DC have to be favourites here
and Nortje has delivered the big wicket. Morgan gets the pulling length, but this sort of hanfcuffs him with its straight line. Caught at long leg. DC will breathe for now
heavy length, Tripathi throws his bat it. Gets a single to deep point
Rabada's streak of 10 consecutive IPL matches with at least 2 wickets comes to an end
full toss, around off, mis-timed for a single down to long-off
Nortje to bowl out. That 20th over goes to Stoinis. He will need more than 20 to defend. Can Nortje deliver that for DC?
that over has gone for 23. Yorker gone wrong again. Almost a half-volley, and with mid-off in the circle, he has hit it through mid-off for four more
given out caught at the wicket, and Tripathi has reviewed it. Bouncer, at his helmet, Tripathi looks for the hook, and it has missed his bat and just kissed the helmet on the way. So Tripathi has successfully overturned this one
finally gets the yorker right, dug out to long-off for one
Last nine balls: 42 runs
yorker gone wrong, and Rabada has been hit for three successive shots. This is like Cottrell to Tewatia. Three balls in, and Morgan has taken the 18 required off the over. This is a plum full toss, and he has pumped it over deep square leg
oh this is mayhem. Doesn't matter who you are. If you are bowling in the last four, you have no rights. Slower ball, short of a length, outside leg, picked up over square leg for another six
that is a massive top edge. What an almighty swing to a bouncer, and the top edge flies fine and sails into the roof
Exactly three a ball now. RR needed 51 in the last three. Rabada to bowl out. Can he seal it here?
this over keeps KKR alive. A third six to end it off with. Another wide low full toss, Tripathi gets on a knee and lofts this over extra cover
low full toss, hit in the air, but on the bounce to mid-off
