Tushar Deshpande	4	0	39	1	9.75	9	3	2	2	0
0.3 to SM Curran, Deshpande bowls ahead of Rabada, and in three balls he has got Curran out. Sharp short ball, at him, Curran pulls, gets a top edge to third man, where Nortje is back-pedalling, takes it head high, keeps an eye on the rope, releases the ball before stepping over, and then comes back to take the catch. 0/1
Kagiso Rabada	4	1	33	1	8.25	12	3	2	1	1
14.4 to F du Plessis, Dhawan dropped the easy one, but takes the difficult one. Du Plessis charges at him, Rabada follows him, it goes off the inside half of the bottom of the bat, and Dhawan dives forward at long-on to take the catch. He then does the thigh five, and also jumps on Rabada, who is now the fastest to 50 IPL wickets. 109/3
Axar Patel	4	0	23	0	5.75	5	1	0	0	0
Anrich Nortje	4	0	44	2	11.00	10	3	4	0	0
11.4 to SR Watson, top of middle with a 139ks length ball. On-pace, on-seam. Watson is looking to give himself room and swing, but does so down the wrong line. 87/2 16.3 to MS Dhoni, Dhoni takes Nortje on, and edges through. Seems like a slower ball, at 134ks (believe that), and Dhoni is early into the swing. He has skipped down the wicket, gets a meaty edge, and it just about carries through to the keeper. 129/4

Deepak Chahar	4	1	18	2	4.50	10	1	0	0	0
0.2 to PP Shaw, Chahar has got him five times out of six. That is an ordinary shot. Outswinger just outside off, and he is looking to flick this to leg. The leading edge settles with Chahar. A second straight duck for Shaw. 0/1 4.1 to AM Rahane, Chahar has one more. Rahane's horror IPL continues. He shows the right intent, makes room, hits hard, but straight to Curran at point. Smart catch because it is hit hard, but it has come straight at him. 26/2
Sam Curran	4	0	35	1	8.75	10	5	1	1	0
18.1 to AT Carey, low full toss, into the body, less room to swing his arms through it, and he holes out to wide long-on. If Pant gets fit, this might be the last we see of Carey this IPL. 159/5
Shardul Thakur	4	0	39	1	9.75	5	3	2	0	0
15.4 to MP Stoinis, Thakur keeps coming at Stoinis. Goes even shorter this time. Stoinis is shuffling across to look to work this square on the leg side. Gets a massive top edge for a catch at midwicket. 137/4
Ravindra Jadeja	1.5	0	35	0	19.09	0	2	3	1	0
Karn Sharma	3	0	34	0	11.33	3	4	1	0	0
Dwayne Bravo	3	0	23	1	7.66	4	2	0	1	0
11.3 to SS Iyer, Iyer looks to take Barvo down as he bowls length and gives him pace to work with. Iyer backs himself to hit sixes down the ground, but the slowness of the pitch means he is early into it and the bat face closes a touch. Caught at long-on. 94/3
