Hardik back into the attack and Samson welcomes him by sending the 2nd ball over cow corner for a SIX. He then pulls the very next ball this time over deep midwicket for a back to back SIXES. CAUGHT! Hardik sends in the slower delivery and Samson whips it over the covers but can’t get it past Chahar in the deep who takes the catch.
Buttler then ends things in style launching the last ball over cow corner for a SIX. What a victory for the RR.
McClenaghan back into the attack. He pitches one short and it’s a bit too short and almost goes over the head of Kishan too who only gets a glove on it to take the pace off, batsmen run a single to pick up two wides off that one. Buttler end the over with a powerful swing that launches the ball straight down towards long on. The ball just bounces in front of the ropes for a FOUR.
Markande back to bowl and Samson gets down low and paddles the first delivery down fine leg for a FOUR. Samson then stays in his crease and lofts the 4th ball for yet another FOUR this time down long on. 12 runs off the over.
RR need 25 from 24 balls to win.
Bumrah back into the attack. Buttler pulls the 3rd delivery over midwicket for a one bounce FOUR. He then swivels on his back foot as he pulls the very next delivery out of the park towards backward square leg for a SIX. 14 runs off that over.
Hardik continues and makes the much needed breakthrough for MI. Rahane looks to muscle the first ball past the boundary line at long off but he doesn’t get enough on it as Suryakumar Yadav slips but manages to hold on to it to dismiss the RR skipper. Buttler keeps his head down and swings hard at the 3rd ball sending it flying over long on for a SIX. He follows this up with another one this time along the ground to long on for a FOUR. He hits the next one straight down the ground too but there is a man there and he’ll only get a couple. 14 runs and a wicket come off that over.
RR need 51 runs from 36 balls to win.
McClenaghan back to bowl. Starts well with two dot balls. Rahane picks up a single to bring Buttler on strike. Buttler then swings at the 4th ball playing a cut shot to send it past Lewis at deep cover for a FOUR. McClenaghan responds well with two dot balls to end the over. Just 5 runs off the over.
Hardik back into the attack. Rahane steps across the off stump looking to play the scoop, but Hardik pitches the ball wide outside off and Rahane makes a last minute adjustment and plays a late cut, the ball sails just wide of Bumrah who leaped in for the catch at short third man. Buttler ends the over by slapping the ball through the covers for a FOUR, he brings up his fifth consecutive fifty with that shot.
