    1.6 Edged and taken! Hard length ball outside off, no footwork from Albert, carves it away from the body and connects the thick outside edge to short third. This time, the fielder collects it cleanly at the edge of the ring. 13/1
    4.2 And Atal's lucky charm finally comes to an end! Short pitched ball on the stumps, plays the swivel pull shot and miscues the stroke towards the short fine leg area. Dre Russ had to run back a few yards and committed to a diving effort to gobble it up. 25/2
    6.1 Caught and bowled! Easy stuff for Chawla, who grabbed the wicket of Jahangir off the very first ball in his 300th T20 match! Tossing up a length ball with a hint of turn, Jahangir leans forward and plays off the front foot, commits to the shot a bit too early, hits the inner part of the bat and pokes the ball back to the bowler aerially, who grabs it comfortably. 43/3
    18.5 Straight into the hands of Olly Stone! Full and overpitched ball on middle-leg, Cox shovels it away with the toe end of the bat, and flat-bats it straight to the long on fielder, who did not have to move an inch to complete the catch. 162/4

    5.4 Massive wicket! The magic of the wristwork by Fizz has done the trick again. Bowls the off-cutter ball outside off, teases Salt to play the aggressive cover drive and he takes the bait, plays the check-drive early and mishits the ball in the air to the cover point fielder at the edge of the circle. 43/4
    0.2 chopped on! Willey bowls a slower ball on the probing zone and deceives Hales completely, moves forward and tries to whisk it down to deep third, missing the length and inside edges onto the stumps. Shakes his head in disappointment, and the Capitals are pumped up! Golden Duck for Hales. 1/1
    0.6 Willey strikes again! Back of a length ball outside leg, follows Sharafu as the batter backs away early, and tries to go over the infield again. This time the length was a bit too much for Sharafu to clip it across the line of the ball; he miscues the stroke and hits it in the air towards widish mid-on for a simple catch. 5/2
    1.5 Golden duck for Chand! Fizz bowls a back of a length ball around the fifth stump line, shapes a bit away from the batter and that does it for Chand. He plays tentatively away from the body without any foot movement, kisses the outside part of the bat and the keeper makes no mistake. 10/3
    8.4 A massive shout and the finger goes up! Good length ball with a hint of turn inwards on middle-off, plays across the line off the front foot and hits the knee-roll of the front pad. Livingstone opts to send it upstairs. Ultra Edge confirmed a flat line as the ball passed the bat. All three reds and hitting middle-leg. Knight Riders lose their fifth wicket. 60/5
    13.4 Rutherford has holed out at long off! Tossed up a fuller length ball in the slot outside off, Rutherford tries to go downtown and mistimes the stroke to Rovman Powell at long off. 88/9
    9.5 Salamkheil has the last laugh! Looped up a fuller length ball on the stumps; this was the wrong-un and Russell goes for the big slog sweep against the turn, connects the leading edge and Jahangir moves forward to complete the catch under the night sky. 73/6
    11.4 cleaned him up with a ripper! The ferocious but harmless-looking googly ball from Salamkheil pitches it outside leg and turns in sharply, Holder goes for the big slog sweep, pierces through everything and crashes onto the stumps. 77/7
    12.6 dragged onto the stumps! Slower through there on a length outside off, rocks back and plays the square drive, thickish inside edge and rattles the stumps! 82/8
    15.3 Tossed up a fuller length ball and Stone plays inside-out, connects the toe end of the bat and hits it in the air without any significant power to the long off fielder. Salamkheil picks up four wickets. 103/10
