  • Player of the Match
    AB de Villiers
    55(22)
Right then, with that win, Bangalore have 12 points now, with 6 wins from 9 games. They have consolidated their position at No. 3 in the points table. For Rajasthan, it is the reverse, 6 losses in their 9 games. Things are looking pretty bleak for Rajasthan from here. They need to pull a rabbit out of the hat, if they are to reverse their fortunes. Right then, Super Saturday means double the excitement. Yes, Delhi are taking on Chennai at Sharjah. Switch tabs and catch our coverage of the same.
AB de Villiers is named the Man of the Match.
Earlier, after winning the toss, Smith opted to bat first in the searing Dubai heat. It was a good and yet tricky start for Rajasthan, as they started well but lost their top-order quickly. They recovered well to post 177 later on. Their bowlers kept a tight noose from the start, but allowed it to slip away later on. It went down to the wire but Bangalore pulled off a spectacular win.
For Rajasthan, well, they had Kohli's men in quicksand but failed to contain the de Villiers blitzkrieg, which allowed the game to slip away. It was a case of so-near, yet so far for them. Gopal, Tewatia and Tyagi bowled well, taking 1 apiece and were economical by the match's standards as well. Unadkat took a pounding and surprisingly, their key bowler, Jofra Archer, went wicketless and conceded close to 10.5 runs per over. They would be ruing this opportunity which was well within their reach, but slipped away, as they took their foot off the pedal.
Bangalore started off well, Padikkal opting to play second fiddle to Finch's hitting. But it was a short blitzkrieg as Finch departed after two biggies. And then, walked Kohli, to the middle. It was a very watchful passage, with Kohli going for his trademark 2s, while Padikkal lashed out at the loose deliveries and kept rotating the strike otherwise. The left-handed batsman later fell for a near-run-a-ball 35. Because he and the skipper started motoring late, the required rate started climbing up. Kohli followed Padikkal and two new batters out in the middle. Things got tough for Bangalore as there was some confusion between Mann and de Villiers, with either possibly running themselves out. In the end, they rode through that, de Villiers smashed a superb unbeaten 55 from 22 balls. Mann provided the required assistance at the other end and Bangalore cruised home with 2 balls to spare, sparing a Super Over prospect.
Bangalore, what a thumping win in the end, here in Dubai. Spoils our hopes for a Super Over but boy do we not love to see him finishing off in such fashion. A huge win for Kohli's men.

Slower one outside off, de Villiers looks to slog it away but gets a top edge but the ball lands to safety. They go for the second run. Unadkat, the bowler, runs to the ball and fires the throw to the keeper who takes the bails off. The third umpire has been called in. Replays confirm de Villiers is safe.

Play and a miss! Good start from Jaydev. The slower one from him. It is good length and outside off, Gurkeerat is beaten for pace as he tries to force it on the off side.
DRINKS! 54 needed in 4 overs. AB de Villiers is out there! As long as he is there, one would assume that he can take his side home. Rajasthan would want to see him going back as quickly as possible. Let's see who raises their hand to remove the dangerous man. We are in for a thriller it seems. Also, Jaydev Unadkat is back on.

Kartik Tyagi To Virat Kohli OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Yes, it is a clean catch! And more importantly, it is a stunning take from Tewatia. We have seen catches like these so many times. Kohli had picked the bones out of that flick. His powerfull wrists came into play as he whipped it off his pads powerfully. The ball was travelling but Tewatia was there at deep mid-wicket. He took the catch by moving to his right but the momentum was against him. So, he manages to lob the ball in the air before going to the other side of the rope and then returns back in with a jump to catch it at the right side. The umpires want to confirm but Kohli knows his fate, more or less as he keeps walking. The third umpire checks and confirms that it is a clean catch. Big, big moment in the game.
Is that a clean catch? Has Tewatia taken a stunner? Is his foot touching the ropes? Things we ponder on as the umpires have called for the third umpire's assistance. OUT...it reads on the big board.
Who will walk out to bat now? AB de Villiers it is.

Rajasthan have kept a good tight lid on the scoring rate, dismissing a dangerous-looking Finch. With the required rate at close to 10.5, it is time for these two to get going as Bangalore have good batting depth. Cannot afford the required rate to keep ballooning.

Jaydev Unadkat To Devdutt Padikkal
Late call to play....Padikkal survives. Kohli wants one, hesitation, but gets one in the end. Slow short ball, Padikkal initially looked to leave it but wants to play later on. The ball takes the top edge and lobs uppishly but falls safely ahead of short third man. Kohli wants one, Padikkal hesitates initially but then they run the one in the end.
