  • Player of the Match
    Mitchell Starc
    3/34(4)
Right then, we have our first finalists of the 2024 Indian T20 League and it is Kolkata who will be playing their fourth final, having won 2 and lost one in their previous three finals. There are still three teams who will be playing it out for that second spot in the mega event and first up it will be Rajasthan, an under-pressure side taking on Bengaluru, the most in-form side currently in the tournament in the Eliminator game which will be played on this same ground. That game will be played on Wednesday, 22 May and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). As usual, you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up to that exciting game. Cheers!
Mitchell Starc is the Player of the Match for his sensational spell upfront. Starc says that they know how important the Powerplay is and taking early wickets against a team like Hyderabad is always crucial. Adds that the way Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have been playing, the lines and lengths become important and the key was to bowl at the stumps and not give width. On Head's wicket, he says that to see his back early was nice and adds that they have a young attack and some haven't even played and being a senior member in the side, he wants to help howsoever he can and goes on to applaud the likes of Harshit Rana.
The skipper of Kolkata, Shreyas Iyer says that he is elated by the performance. Adds that the way the boys stood up for each other was pleasing to see. Feels that the break was important for them due to the hectic travelling. Tells that the talk was to stay in the present and maximize the opportunities. Adds that the attitude and approach of the bowlers was to look for wickets. Shares that the guys in his team have been true to their work ethics and have not been taking things lightly. Hopes to continue the momentum into the final. Says that Rahmanullah Gurbaz had an impactful knock in the Powerplay.  Adds that it is important that they go back and enjoy the moment as they have won a crucial game. Ends by saying that they need to be in the zone for the final and give their best.
The presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first on a track that had a bit of moisture and there was a chance of dew later on as well. This decision quickly backfired as both of Hyderabad's prolific openers were cheaply dismissed and they found themselves in disarray. With Mitchell Starc spitting fire from one end, Hyderabad needed someone to lead the charge and that was done by Rahul Tripathi and for a while in the middle, Tripathi and Heinrich Klaasen got Hyderabad into a position of promise. However, it all came crumbling down soon enough when Varun Chakaravarthy dismissed Klaasen and then a huge mix-up between Abdul Samad and Tripathi saw the latter get out when on a roll. Cummins did extremely well to carry his team to over 150 runs but it just didn't seem enough. This was proved correct as Kolkata put on a stellar show with the bat and chased down the total inside 15 overs.
Venkatesh Iyer, one of the stars of the chase is down for a chat now. Venky says that more than the confidence, he was more eager to go out and showcase his talent as they hadn't played a game in a long time and the credit should go to the bowlers who restricted the opposition to 160 runs which didn't even seem possible. Adds that momentum is key in this tournament which they have seen with Bengaluru and that's what they wanted with this game as they had lost momentum due to rain in the last couple of games and the spirits were high as they got a pep talk from the coaching staff and even the owners. Adds that it is always special to play in the Final and playing in front of such amazing crowds and are looking to lift that trophy soon.
The captain of Hyderabad, Pat Cummins is down for a chat. He says that they need to put this defeat behind them quickly. Mentions that it was one of those days where it did not work out for them. States that a few guys did not get starts and could not do it with the ball either. Feels that they would have loved to bring Umran Malik as the Impact Player but with wickets falling, they had to bring in an extra batter in the form of Sanvir Singh. Reckons that after a defeat like this, going to a new venue will help and hopes to turn things around in Chennai.
Hyderabad went into the mid-innings break with a paltry total on board but it wasn't the worst one and was somewhat defendable as well. However, the luck quite wasn't on their side and then when the chances did come, they were sloppy in the field as well, dropping a couple of catches in the process. They did pick up a wicket in the Powerplay but Pat Cummins' decision to bowl with the new ball backfired and his first over went for plenty which didn't help Hyderabad either. With the Impact Player already used in the batting innings, they couldn't bring on someone like Jaydev Unadkat or Umran Malik and only T Natarajan bowled a decent spell. With their fate almost decided, Pat tossed the ball to a couple of part-timers, accepting defeat and in the blink of an eye, the game was actually over.
KOLKATA MARCH INTO THE FINAL! What a knockout blow from the top dogs in the tournament and they have flexed their muscles and have made Hyderabad look like a hapless side, giving them a bitter taste of their own medicine. Needing 160 to chase on a pitch that looked much better to bat on, Kolkata only needed a good start in the Powerplay to get ahead in the game and that is exactly what they got. Rahmanullah Gurbaz filled the gap left by Phil Salt with a quickfire cameo upfront and set the tone for the rest of the innings. Sunil Narine wasn't at his fluent best but still got the runs away and then, the Iyers - Shreyas and Venkatesh, just smashed it to all parts of the ground. Venkatesh Iyer has been a resurgent player in the season and on almost every occasion has stepped up when the opening pair haven't been at their best. Shreyas Iyer too came out with a positive mindset and probably played his best knock of the tournament just one game before the final which will be scary for the other teams. All in all, a sublime performance and Kolkata can now take a day or two off before setting their eyes on the Grand Finale.

Smashes it over long on and the fielder on the boundary can only watch it sailing over his head. Kolkata cruise home with 6.2 overs to spare and it is all smiles in their camp!

OUT! TAKEN! A plan comes to fruition for Pat Cummins! Three fielders in the deep on the leg side and Sunil Narine picks out one of them. Cummins digs it in short, over middle, Sunil Narine gets cramped for room slightly but still goes through with the pull shot. Does not get the desired connection and hits it straight down the throat of Vijayakanth Viyaskanth at deep mid-wicket who takes his second catch of the night. Hyderabad will be hoping that one brings two for them here.

Pat Cummins To Sunil Narine
EDGED AND FOUR! Just over! Almost a wicket just after the break. Angling across the left-hander, on a good length, wide on off, Sunil Narine throws his hands at it and gets an outside edge that flies over the leaping Heinrich Klaasen and beats a very fine third man to his left for a boundary.
Strategic Break! Well then, Kolkata have got off to a stellar start and now need just 97 runs off 84 deliveries. Hyderabad have picked up a wicket in the Powerplay but would have liked to stem the flow of runs more. A lot will ride on the middle phase and on whether Hyderabad can pick up wickets in a heap or not. Kolkata have a lot of batting to come but would want to not lose momentum by going into their shell. Let's see how the next phase pans out.

The ball zips through and pings him on the helmet before it rolls down to short third. Narine gestures to the umpire that he is fine but a mandatory concussion check will follow now.
Halt! It seems like Sunil Narine has an issue with his bat and wants to get it changed. The umpire has a word with Narine and there will be just a slight delay here. The 12th comes out and Narine picks out a new willow and now, the game can continue.

FOUR! What a gift to get first ball and Venkatesh Iyer is off the mark. Too full and angled down the leg side, Iyer flicks it away fine and the ball races away to the fine leg fence.
Venkatesh Iyer is in at number 3.

T Natarajan To Rahmanullah Gurbaz OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to cover and Rahmanullah Gurbaz right away grunted 'No' as the ball came off his bat. T Natarajan bowls this one into the pitch and angles it across the right-hander again. Gurbaz charges down the track, staying leg side of the ball and looks to smash it through covers. However, he ends up slicing it flat off the toe end and straight to Vijayakanth Viyaskanth at covers who takes a sharp catch around his face and Hyderabad have their first wicket.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar To Sunil Narine
Full and aimed at the toes, Sunil Narine clears the front leg and drills it wide of long on for a couple of more runs. 18 off that over and Kolkata are off to a flier.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar To Rahmanullah Gurbaz
FOUR! Fractionally short and over the stumps, Rahmanullah Gurbaz just gets across a bit and swats it away without great timing but more than enough to clear wide mid on and pick up another boundary.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar To Rahmanullah Gurbaz
SIX! It's like Phil Salt never left and Rahmanullah Gurbaz is making full use of this opportunity. This is the knuckle-ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a bit into the pitch and Gurbaz just charges down the track and whacks it a long way over wide long on for a biggie.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar To Sunil Narine
NOT OUT! Wow, Hyderabad have burned out both their reviews inside the first three overs and are a bit unlucky to have conceded four leg byes off both those balls too. Very full and around leg stump, shaping back into the left-hander, Sunil Narine clears the front leg to swing across the line but misses and the ball goes off the pads and past off stump into the third man fence. Bhuvneshwar Kumar reckons this is out and takes the review but Ball Tracking shows that the ball was pitching outside leg stump.

Pat Cummins To Rahmanullah Gurbaz
Back of a length and around off stump, Rahmanullah Gurbaz dabs it down to backward point. 20 off the over!
Another shout for LBW and the third umpire is called into action again by Hyderabad. Sunil Narine seems to have been trapped right in front of the stumps but what looks to have saved him there is the ball's pitching. Bhuvneshwar Kumar looks confident but the Ball Tracking has rolled in and it shows the ball to pitching just outside leg. Hyderabad have lost both their reviews inside the first three overs.

Pat Cummins To Rahmanullah Gurbaz
SIX! Off the edge but goes all the way and Pat Cummins is going the distance here with the new ball. Good length outside off, quicker too, Rahmanullah Gurbaz comes down the pitch to whack it down the ground but the ball flies off the outside edge and goes over the third man fence.

Pat Cummins To Rahmanullah Gurbaz
NOT OUT! Risky business from Rahmanullah Gurbaz but he gets away with it. Pat Cummins comes from slightly wider of the crease and angles it in a long way from around off and middle stump, Gurbaz walks right across the off stump and misses the flick. The ball goes off the pads and past the diving keeper for a boundary. Half an appeal for LBW and eventually, Cummins does review it. No spike on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that it would have missed leg stump, so, just four leg byes.
Is that out? An appeal for LBW has been sent upstairs by Hyderabad. Rahmanullah Gurbaz had walked right across his stumps to glance it away fine but missed and got hit near the thigh pad. The angle seemed to be taking it down leg. And yes, it is indeed missing leg on Ball Tracking.

Pat Cummins To Sunil Narine
Much better length from Pat Cummins as this is dug in short and right around the rib cage. Sunil Narine gets cramped for room and miscues the pull off the top edge but the ball lands safely over square leg. They get a single.

FOUR! Two in a row from Sunil Narine and he is in 6th gear already. Too full again, this time on the leg peg, Narine clears the front leg again and hammers it through mid-wicket for another boundary.

Pat Cummins To Sunil Narine
FOUR! Just over! Overpitched from Pat Cummins, around off and angling back in, Sunil Narine just clears the front leg and swats it flat over mid off for a boundary to get off the mark.
Who will operate from the other end? It will be the Hyderabad skipper, Pat Cummins.

Straight off the keeper's gloves and into the hands of Abdul Samad at first slip. Pitched up outside off, seaming away, Rahmanullah Gurbaz misses the cover drive and the ball flicks the outside off Heinrich Klaasen's gloves who is standing up to the stumps.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar To Rahmanullah Gurbaz
Good start from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Nice and full around off stump, a bit of shape on the one as well, Rahmanullah Gurbaz tries to come forward and negate the swing but has to jam it out on the leg side.
