... The Chase ...
Right then! Not a big score and you expect Bangalore to chase this down but Rajasthan will be aware that Bangalore have a fragile batting lineup while Rajasthan contrastingly have one of the best bowling line up. A cracking chase coming up.
Mohammed Siraj is up for a chat. He says that he tried to swing the ball on the first ball, but Devdutt Padikkal played a very good shot. But he still stuck to his plans and got his wicket eventually. Mentions that Josh Hazlewood has good height and he gets extra bounce cause of it and together they decided to keep it back of a length only. Adds that it's not easy to hit a short ball, and they stuck to their plans. Informs that till now there has been no dew.
Bangalore will be really happy with the performance. From the start, the bowlers bowled with the plan and they got wickets at regular intervals. They dropped a few catches but other than that, there were brilliant on the field. The last over went for runs but overall it was a solid performance from them. Siraj, Hasaranga, and Hazlewood were the pick of the bowlers, picking two wickets each.
Excellent innings from Riyan Parag. It was his late carnage that helped Rajasthan cross the 140 mark. Rajasthan's innings never flowed freely. They were 33 for 3 including the big wicket of Buttler. Samson showed positive signs but he too after getting a good start perished. There was a stand forming between Mitchell and Parag but at a walking pace. Once, Daryl Mitchell fell, it was Parag's inning that helped Rajasthan to put in a respectable total.
