So 150 is what Hyderabad need to get their first win of the season. The pitch has not looked an easy one to bat on but as they say never judge a pitch before both sides have batted on it. Bangalore will hope their bowlers can do what Mumbai did last night and defend a lowish total. This too promises to be an exciting chase. Join us for the chase to find if Hyderabad can get their first win or will Bangalore make it two-in-two.
Hyderabad's Afghanistan superstar, Rashid Khan is down for a quick chat. He says that he is happy with his performance. Adds that the wicket is good to bowl on. Mentions that there is no dew on this pitch. Further says that they have done well to restrict them to 150.
A very good bowling performance overall. They will be disappointed not to finish things off well but overall they will be content with their performance. Rashid Khan was the star with the ball. His 2/18 from his 4 overs put brakes in the middle. The other bowlers were good as well. Holder was extremely impressive on his return too as he finished with 3/30. Bhuvneshwar, Natarajan and Nadeem all got one wicket apiece and were impressive overall barring their final overs.
Being put into bat, Bangalore lost the returning Padikkal. Shahbaz Ahmed looked decent in his brief stay. Kohli and Maxwell stitched a good 44-run stand but once the skipper departed Bangalore lost the plot. There was a lot of criticism for the amount Banglore paid for Maxwell but his 59 on a tough pitch ensured Bangalore finished with a flurry and got close to 150. The Big Show's knock might just be the difference in this game.
A very good bowling display from Hyderabad! Though they were expensive in the last three overs, they have managed to restrict Bangalore under 150. Bangalore though will feel they have done well on a pitch that has not looked easy to bat on.

STRATEGIC TIME-OUT! 47 runs have been scored in the last 6.5 overs and they have lost 3 crucial wickets in that phase as well. Maxwell is still out in the middle but he will need some support. Hyderabad are doing a fantastic job with the ball and on the field here. They though will now need to finish this well and keep Bangalore quiet. Dan Christian will walk out to bat post the break.
15.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Another stunning catch from Hyderabad and this time it is Manish Pandey. Warner wanted energy from his fielders and boy have his troops not delivered that. Sundar departs Bangalore are tumbling. Maxwell is stranded at the other end and how will this affect him? He is losing his partners regularly here. Floated delivery on middle, Sundar looks to smack it over long on but this one turns away from him a bit as this is the googly. The Bangalore all-rounder is unable to pick it.
