Bhuvneshwar to Nair, FOUR, how ironical! How ironical! This mistimed pull rolls under a diving Warner at mid-on and denies us a Super Over. Another missed chance for T20 League! Only if Warner had latched onto it, we could have been in for some fun. But.. Bhuvi had cleverly cut the length back, followed Nair with bounce to deny the room and Nair somehow managed to splice the pull under Warner -- who slammed himself hard into the pitch side-on and roared in disgust to see the ball scoot under his cupped and extended palms. What a top innings from Karun Nair this! As a result, Delhi stay alive and Hyderabad will have to wait a touch longer to seal a berth in the playoffs!

Bhuvneshwar to Nair, FOUR, is that the moment? Warner sprints across from long-on, dives but the ball had wheels. Nair had flat-batted the shortish delivery down the ground and Warner, despite that effort, fell short. Super over? 2 needed off 1 ball..Wow. My fingers are shaking.. somebody get me on pills

Bhuvneshwar to Brathwaite, FOUR, oh my! That's brutal luck for Hyderabad. Brathwaite was on the hop and looked cramped on this swivelling tuck. No room but he still went for it, the ball shot back off the under-edge and Ojha's throw to his left couldn't stop that ball from drilling holes in the fine leg fence
17.1 -
Bhuvneshwar to Brathwaite, FOUR, that's been slapped. Full and wide outside off, Brathwaite slams his bat and flogs it wide enough and in front of backward point
15.4 -
Mustafizur to Nair, FOUR, now that's a redemption. The key was to time the shuffle and he did that. Sees the length short outside off, gets into his shuffle and hoicks it wide of the short fine leg in place. 'Not pretty but effective' cliche in play
13.2 -
Karn Sharma to Duminy, FOUR, if Warner can't, nobody can. Almost sprints across from deep mid-wicket, puts on the jet to fly forward but the ball was hit just too well. Duminy had fetched his googly with a sweep and slotted it wide enough for Warner to fail
12.5 -
Deepak Hooda to Nair, FOUR, that's a charity ball! Dipping full toss bowled shamelessly at the waist and Nair just had to power-pack the pull shot. One bounce and over the deep mid-wicket ropes
11.2 -
Karn Sharma to Rishabh Pant, FOUR, this is a rank bad ball. Back-spins from a shortish length and Pant had the room, the time and the skills to pull this through cow corner
7.0 -
Henriques to Rishabh Pant, FOUR, there you go. It was all going well and then Pant decided to put the skates on. Henriques did shorten the length a touch but that, ironically, allowed Pant to pack a punch on the up. Over mid-off to scoot to the fences
4.5 -
Barinder to Nair, FOUR, his bottom hand came off as he reached out on the drive but Nair has creamed it through the fence all the same. Might have just stopped on him from a length, and Nair did so well to adjust and place it along the carpet
4.4 -
Barinder to Nair, FOUR, it's just a half-hearted short ball from Barinder, doesn't quite get the height he needs to ruffle some feathers, and Nair slaps the pull from outside off well in front of square
4.2 -
Barinder to Nair, FOUR, that's such a good shot! It's not a half-volley at all, but Nair leans across, gets on top of the bounce and steers the drive through the point region
3.5 -
Mustafizur to Rishabh Pant, FOUR, he's just stood there and slashed it through the point region with disdain. Believe me, his feet didn't move at all. He saw the length, saw the width and buried it with some ferocity
2.5 -
Bhuvneshwar to Nair, FOUR, pulled away wide of mid-on. Didn't quite get it perfectly but it's enough to race away. Short ball in line with off, Nair is a bit late in transferring his weight back and hits it uppishly but it's wide of the fielder
17.0 -
Barinder to Nair, SIX, and another one. Every ground's a Tyrion Lannister if you power them so ruthlessly. Stands tall with his weight in front, swipes his bat and shames another short ball over deep mid-wicket. The ball was outside off, Nair reaches out with a shuffle - a baby shuffle rather - and swatted the ball well over the ropes there. 28 runs off the last 3 overs needed
16.3 -
Barinder to Nair, SIX, how well does he play that? Sran has been humiliated with this. Stood on the front foot, took this short ball head-on and pulled it over deep square leg. Lovely shot
8.4 -
Henriques to Nair, SIX, audacious. Pulls this short delivery off the front foot and put enough mileage on that for it to carry over cow corner. Fetch that!

Mustafizur to Brathwaite, out Caught by Barinder!! That Superman moment for Sran! What a catch this is! A certain posterboy moment. Brathwaite looked to take on the cutter but the dart off the pitch was superlative to whatever Brathwaite had planned. Still threw his hands at it, eked out a top-edge and then Sran at short third man swooped into my TV screen from nowhere - flew to his left and pouched the ball mid-air. Brathwaite c Barinder b Mustafizur 10(7) [4s-2]
16.1 -
Barinder to Duminy, out Caught by Warner!! Here's the wicket! Here's the catch, finally! Warner poches it after a long run-up from long-off and bangs it into the ground in frustration. Duminy looked to play across the line, swiped his bat and the toe-end ballooned high enough for Warner to come into the action. Duminy c Warner b Barinder 17(15) [4s-1]
11.4 -
Karn Sharma to Nair, out Rishabh Pant Run Out!! 1 run completed. And Nair has sold Rishabh Pant for pennies. At the Friday flea market. Clips this ball to mid-wicket, Bhuvi comes running from deep square leg, attacks the bowler's end and pays dividends. The call for the two was early and all but the throw too good. Rishabh Pant run out (Bhuvneshwar) 32(26) [4s-3]
1.5 -
Barinder to de Kock, out Caught by N Ojha!! This is a huge wicket at the start as de Kock can take the game away in a jiffy. It's the extra bounce again which has been so apparent all evening. de Kock backs away and slashes at a short of length delivery trying to thrash it through the point region. Doesn't cover for the bounce and nicks behind. de Kock c N Ojha b Barinder 2(9)

Mustafizur to Duminy, 1 run, oh no. Bhuvi, you canker blossom! Warner's bug is on to him. It's everywhere. Bhuvi has now dropped one at deep cover! Duminy played it really well. Takes this off-pace banged on a short of length, made enough room to go inside out but Bhuvi drops it.. looked more in panic. And then struggles to even pick the ball from the ground, so nervous he looked
14.3 -
Barinder to Nair, 1 run, I was alive when Warner dropped a catch. To put it simply. Sran had pinged the ball short as an invitation for Nair to create some of his own power and Nair couldn't quite. Thrusted the pull off the front foot, Warner comes running in to pouch the mistimed pull but overruns it.. and drops it as a result
17.2 -
Bhuvneshwar to Brathwaite, leg byes, 1 run, tucks him up for room with a shortish delivery down leg-side. Brathwaite hops himself around, drops it mid-pitch and runs. Bhuvi resorts to all the Dhoni-implemented footer skills, runs ahead and tries to kick the ball at the stumps.. and it nearly paid off. Had it hit, Nair would have been football'd out
16.5 -
Barinder to Brathwaite, 1 run, waits for the fullish delivery and then sees it kick up off the turf. Gets the soft wrists into play, taps it to backward point and runs. A misdirected throw at the bowler's end and but for that, things could have been interesting
13.5 -
Karn Sharma to Nair, 1 run, tossed up delivery to test Nair on 49 and he does well to hold his nerve and clip a sane single to backward square leg. Fifty up for him!
