SportsTranscript
00:00Two captains for the coin toss, Kane Williamson with the coin, M.S. Donny with the correct call
00:06and he decided that the Chennai Super Kings would field first.
00:11Not ball in hand now, but look for that big fella to come in and bowl, put pressure on the
00:16batting.
00:18Nerves, getting that first run, the first wicket, here we go.
00:23Oh, gone! What a start! What a start for Sieske, what a start to the qualifier, one!
00:30Sletz, do you want to change your mind? I'll give you a chance quickly.
00:34He just wants to see it and hear it and play on instinct. Chops it back.
00:40Needed it to miss the pegs, but it doesn't. Sikadawan!
00:47It's not the gap. They're full-fielded there in the circle. How good is this shot?
00:55Sieske's in line. Here's the prize.
01:00Yeah, the first covered ride, you don't mind. Searching for a wicket, trying to knock over Williamson.
01:04That one's just a poor delivery. Legs-dump-off volley.
01:07Also, Pont has been two cool captains.
01:10That's gone fine.
01:11So after wicket, three fours in a row to finish the first show of the playoffs.
01:16It's 12 for one.
01:19Gedi.
01:20I tell you what, he'll enjoy bowling on the surface. Not sure how many times he's bowled on this pitch.
01:26He'll love it as an appeal from behind the stumps.
01:32No slip. No slip. So they get four runs.
01:35Maybe they should have had a slip. His bowling's is probably engaging.
01:39It's 18 for one.
01:42A great shot.
01:44Wonderful shot, that.
01:45Class of the man just showing through.
01:48Just thinking aggressively. It's all about what you were thinking, mind-wise.
01:52So he's thinking about scoring runs, but he's waiting for that ball in that zone.
01:57Positive mindset, but controlled cricket from Williamson.
02:03Should get a couple of runs here.
02:08Harba just seeing the feel that they've taken him on.
02:11Coming back for the third. Has he missed it?
02:16Would have been going, Sage.
02:18Do tonight.
02:20Not a good delivery.
02:24Oh, that was quick off the bat.
02:28Slightly full the length this time.
02:31Yep, that's what he does.
02:34And he's pulled off. A good catch here.
02:37Lungin Gedi's the man.
02:39As many holes as he can.
02:41This is the second wicket.
02:47Oh, Glove. Yes, Glove there is.
02:50He's fuming with himself there.
02:51Kane Williamson.
02:53Leg side.
02:55Just got a little touch on it.
02:56And shuttle tackle strikes.
02:58He's been coming hard off back of the length.
03:01He slams it in.
03:03Not an overly tall man, but just gets a little bit of movement.
03:07Tries to help it on its way.
03:09Tries to help it on its way.
03:09Kane Williamson and does so straight to Amastoni.
03:12New batsman.
03:13Work to do.
03:15Starts with a boundary.
03:18Well, if you want to start in innings, this is how it's done.
03:25Oh, shocked me.
03:26And shocked that too, because it's been punished.
03:29Talking in four deliveries, this is one of them.
03:34Oh, no hand on it.
03:35No hand on it.
03:36Manish Pandey was nowhere.
03:42Well, that slipped out.
03:44No, he's dead ball.
03:46What about dead ball?
03:48I think that's a no-ball, isn't it?
03:51In three times.
03:54Glove again.
03:55More glove.
03:55It's unlucky, but it's down leg side.
03:57And Shakib this time.
04:00Yes, again.
04:02Just gloving it.
04:04Just gloving it.
04:08And Dhoni's not going to miss them.
04:10Must have a delight of them in Bravo.
04:14Oh, missed it.
04:15Straight to the fielder.
04:18Nice full toss there for Manish Pandey.
04:23Gone.
04:24Simple catch.
04:26Getting from bat to worst now for Sunriser Hyderabad.
04:30Again, good aggressive captaincy from MS Dhoni.
04:33Men around the bat.
04:35Very simple catch from Jadeja.
04:38It's another example of bringing momentum into the finals.
04:42MS Dhoni.
04:43Jeez, he would have had him there.
04:44Direct hit.
04:45There's a mix-up.
04:46Runs and a wicket.
04:49Yes!
04:51Again.
04:51Struggle again.
04:55Flipped in the air.
04:56Not far from mid-wicket.
04:58It'll run away.
04:58It runs away quickly.
05:00Much-needed boundary.
05:02Seven overs remaining.
05:0475 for five.
05:05What the skipper wanted.
05:09Plays it.
05:10Plays it nicely.
05:11Away it goes.
05:13That's a rare little bit of width there.
05:16He should have.
05:17Faker.
05:18He cut.
05:19He cut.
05:19Kahan.
05:21Cut beautifully.
05:2340.
05:25Oh, take it!
05:27What a beauty!
05:28How did he take it!
05:30How did he take it?
05:31You deserve to!
05:33That is unbelievable!
05:36Well, his first pole this evening was a little strangled down the leg side.
05:40And we're all questioning why he'd be dancing, but...
05:42And this was the best of the two of them.
05:45Well, he balled the ball at about 129 km per hour.
05:49I think the ball came at him at maybe 140 km per hour.
05:53And look at that catch.
05:54Getting down so quickly.
05:56Getting his hands down.
05:58That is nothing short of miraculous.
06:00Prime.
06:03Oh, wow!
06:04How big!
06:05You know he's got power.
06:07Has Buckwheat.
06:08That has gone second tier.
06:10That's a nice swing in the back.
06:12And they need it, the Sunrisers.
06:14They need a few more of these.
06:15And this man can do it.
06:17The order.
06:18Couple of wickets in him as well, hopefully.
06:20Look at the strength.
06:21He stays low and he stays still.
06:24Holds his shape.
06:26Gets underneath it.
06:27That's a beautiful swing.
06:29Go after.
06:31Oh, and again.
06:32And again.
06:33And that has gone just as far.
06:37Now he knows the pace of the wicket.
06:39He knows he has to go as well.
06:41Sunrisers need every one of these.
06:45If CSK had a wrist spinner,
06:48they would have bowled him long time back.
06:50The moment Bradquist was in, they would have bowled him.
06:54Oh, he went wide.
06:57Can't do that.
06:58Big man like him with the kind of power that he possesses.
07:01It's against Bradquist.
07:05Yeah, but doesn't carry two.
07:06Fuck duplessis.
07:11Oh, very good again.
07:12That man of cover will cut this one off.
07:14We'll go for two.
07:16Good throw.
07:18He's missed another one, he missed.
07:24Well, maybe he was thinking he'll use him early on if Shikhar Dhawan is in,
07:29but one ball.
07:30And that plan went out the window.
07:32Yeah, Shakib, Shikhar Dhawan all went quickly,
07:35so Harbazin wasn't needed.
07:39Oh, very good.
07:42Surprised he bowls the last one.
07:44Normally takes Watson about four overs to warm up.
07:48So I can't see bringing him on now.
07:50It doesn't look like he's...
07:52So good.
07:54Clever, but it'll just be one.
07:56And a very good finish for Lungi Ungiri.
08:03Lungi here.
08:04Right in the way.
08:06Come back for the two.
08:08Deja quick.
08:10Full toss.
08:12Gets it.
08:13Gone.
08:14Big six.
08:15He's in this tournament.
08:18Just watching Dhawan, I guess he's okay with this.
08:21Young fella trying Yorker,
08:23there will be one that he won't be able to control,
08:25but that shouldn't change his...
08:27His tactic.
08:28Anything that's slower on Lung,
08:30he's gonna go for six.
08:31Anything short of Lung will disappear for a six.
08:36Oh, crunched.
08:37Absolutely crunched.
08:38One bounce over extra cover.
08:40That is a quality shot.
08:42Way to get this over covers head.
08:44Again, it's just off.
08:46It's just a fraction short.
08:47It's the right line.
08:48It's a hard volley.
08:50It's not quite the Yorker length.
08:54Oh, he's got that as well.
08:57Baseball line, Brathwaite.
09:00Six more.
09:01You've got one to go, mate.
09:02Oh, come back.
09:02Come back, fella.
09:04Not over yet.
09:05Beautiful shot, though.
09:06Again, he's missed on the length.
09:09But what a nice stroke that is.
09:11Look at the power.
09:12Again, great example of someone not trying to overhit the ball.
09:15Just uses that pace.
09:17Gets underneath it.
09:19Lovely swing of the bat.
09:21He's got an awesome power, this man.
09:26Bounce at a finish.
09:27It'll be a run out.
09:28Inez Doney.
09:29Affects the run out.
09:34Well done, Carlos Brathwaite.
09:3643.
09:37That's just 29 balls.
09:39Superbly well.
09:41Underway.
09:42Play a miss.
09:44Tonight.
09:45Oh, that one comes back.
09:47They're shouting.
09:48Big shout.
09:50Erasmus, the umpire.
09:52He looks and then looks away.
09:56Oh, come on.
09:58Edge.
09:59Yes, Shane Watson.
10:01Forced over.
10:02Out of here.
10:03Here again, this is a pitch where there's a bit of grass.
10:06And look at that seam position.
10:08Towards first slip.
10:10And he had to play at it.
10:12He couldn't leave it.
10:13This is a real beauty from Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
10:17Sandeep the man.
10:18And he gets cut away.
10:20It's too wide.
10:20It's a bad loosener.
10:23Lose to the wrist.
10:25Catch it.
10:26No.
10:27Through.
10:28Finds the gap.
10:29Threads the needle.
10:30Make the run chase so much easier.
10:32And he's got that attitude.
10:34That is glorious.
10:36As good as we've seen all day.
10:39I think you tuck him up.
10:41Tuck him up early.
10:42You certainly don't bowl there.
10:45Well, that's just come out wrong.
10:48He's on fire.
10:49Four boundaries already.
10:50Oh, bowled.
10:51Leg stump.
10:52Gets across the stumps.
10:54It went too far.
10:57So Corley bounces back.
10:59It's the business.
11:04Gee, he got across the stumps.
11:08Oh, first ball.
11:11Can you believe it?
11:12The man who's got all these runs.
11:15He's been unstoppable.
11:18Am I right on that trick?
11:20This is incredible.
11:23They're getting this dose of the same medicine.
11:25This is a terrific Yorker.
11:28Absolutely terrific.
11:38It's a hat-trick ball.
11:40It is that headband.
11:42Look at it.
11:42It's glowing.
11:46Dhani.
11:48Dhani.
11:49Straight out of the middle of the bat.
11:53We're...
11:53Came at right to India, but what a wicket that was.
11:57The knuckleball's been a big one.
11:59MS Dhani.
12:00There you go.
12:01That's his most improved shot, this IPL.
12:04Anything short, he has been sweating on and has been making the most of.
12:09And that's another example of it.
12:11This stage.
12:14Well done.
12:16Money's spun out, point.
12:18Makes it look easy.
12:20Full stretch dive, one hand.
12:22Only saves one.
12:26Bolle.
12:27Got through.
12:28It's a wrong one.
12:29And what a wicket that is.
12:32Rashid Khan does it yet again for Sunrise in Hyderabad.
12:35Look at the smile on the face of Tom Moody.
12:39Through the gate.
12:40MS Dhani doesn't pick it off the pitch.
12:44Little inside edge as well.
12:45And he knows it.
12:46Trying to go two square.
12:48Great decision came Williamson.
12:51Very well bowled, Rashid Khan.
12:54It's up in the air.
12:56Hasn't got enough.
12:57Yes, just.
12:59Duplessis living by the skin of his teeth.
13:04And he was dead already on the back foot.
13:06So might not have been off the middle of the bat.
13:08But he knows that it's not a huge boundary there.
13:11So took a chance.
13:13And it came off.
13:15Came off really well.
13:16Once again brings to the fore.
13:18Please push the boundaries back.
13:20Obvious.
13:21This is the next one.
13:24And you can see that.
13:26Well, he knows exactly when to bowl the wrong one.
13:31He's got some bounce in his step tonight.
13:33It's going to be interesting to watch Kane Williamson.
13:35How he maneuvers his chest pieces here.
13:37Great pieces of kit.
13:39Clearance.
13:40Oh, dear.
13:41Bravo.
13:42He's got a half-tracker leg spinner.
13:44And he's guided it straight to Shikardawan.
13:47It's look.
13:48Chen Alu's there.
13:49Again, clever.
13:50Clever.
13:51Clever.
13:52It is just a little bit short outside the offstop.
13:55He's gone for the cut.
13:56And Shikardawan doesn't miss out.
14:01Oh.
14:03Inside edge on that.
14:0412 overs gone.
14:05It's 61 for 5.
14:07They can take their time.
14:10Oh, it's another cotton ball of this match.
14:13Sandeep Sharma strikes.
14:16Jadija is gone.
14:18And that is staged.
14:20The knuckleball comes down the back of it.
14:23Floats up to Jardesja.
14:25A good catch.
14:28The fourth cotton ball of this evening match.
14:32Good to see.
14:36Has he followed the gap?
14:37Not enough bar, I guess.
14:40Oh, it's gone for four.
14:43He's got nowhere near the middle of this.
14:45No, but that's all he needs to feel, Hados.
14:47We talk about upping a gear.
14:49Just finding a little bit more strike power and the confidence to play it.
14:52It's all he needs is to feel that boundary.
14:55That's his first.
14:56He's hit 1-6, 1-4.
15:00And now another six.
15:02Here we go.
15:11Beautiful start.
15:14That is a beautiful start.
15:17An extra two runs would be a bonus.
15:20I think it's a six.
15:23Jaha.
15:25So I think what we're seeing here is a little change of intent.
15:30Something that's been lacking thus far in this innings.
15:37He goes for the ochre.
15:40Fumble.
15:42As we see Sandeep Sharma come in.
15:46Again, starting with pace.
15:49He was nervous.
15:52Good shot.
15:53That's going to be full.
15:55He likes space on the ball.
15:56Fab du Plessy.
16:00Goes full again.
16:01Bottom hand.
16:02And now is he picking it off.
16:03Looks like it.
16:05He's claiming it.
16:07Well, he's not so sure.
16:08So they'll have a look.
16:10And it all gets tricky when it goes upstairs with low catches, I tell you.
16:14Soft signal.
16:15Slats, watch out for the soft signal.
16:17We will watch it.
16:18It can determine a lot.
16:20Tell you what.
16:20It was right in front of us.
16:21He's done so well.
16:22He had to move fast.
16:23It was low and flat.
16:24Watch the soft signal out.
16:26Could he tell me that has hit the grass without his fingers wedging underneath it?
16:31Oh, slats.
16:32That's bounce, man.
16:33I'm so convinced that Fab du Plessy in the break's taking his shirt off.
16:41Whose eyes are clearer?
16:44You're absolutely right.
16:45There wasn't any clear evidence that the ball was actually bouncing into the turf and then going into the hands
16:50of the fielder.
16:51If that was the case, the TV umpire had the right to overrule the soft signal.
16:55You can overrule, I guess.
16:58Stop signal missing leg.
17:00With the googly.
17:00Oh, the fingers gone up.
17:02He's got to review it.
17:05He's got to review it.
17:07And he has.
17:09Well, he's had the review.
17:11Is the decision.
17:16Missing.
17:19Fab du Plessis could be out as well.
17:21Brathwaite, no.
17:22Doesn't go.
17:23Doesn't go for that one.
17:27Over the top.
17:28That'll be four.
17:29Good from Fab du Plessis.
17:31That's what he needed.
17:32Brilliant batting.
17:35Plenty of power there from Fab du Plessis.
17:40He's got the ideal pace to play these lofted shots.
17:43Just handing himself.
17:45That would have been a catch.
17:46But he's rolling.
17:50Six this time.
17:52Has he got enough?
17:53You betcha.
17:55You called it.
17:55This is the over.
17:57It's the one they need.
17:58Fifty for Fab du Plessis.
18:00Took his time at the start.
18:02Now he's in a wonderful position to win a game for his team.
18:06Short.
18:07Maybe it is pace off.
18:08Yeah, slower ball.
18:10Gets it around the corner.
18:11Fab du Plessis.
18:12Pick up four more.
18:17That's another.
18:20Brilliant fielding.
18:21Brilliant fielding.
18:24That is brilliant fielding.
18:26I think that's Rashid Khan at deep cover.
18:30Fab du Plessis absolutely creamed this.
18:33He's done more to save a boundary.
18:35I think this is out.
18:37Yes, and it also means that a run has been saved.
18:40He's got to make the walk back.
18:41Have a look at this.
18:43Quick recovery.
18:45Flat throw.
18:47And absolutely brilliant stuff.
18:49He's at the non-striker's end.
18:52There's that guy on it has.
18:53It's gone for four.
18:55What a wonderful over a batting from Fatou Plessis.
19:01Oh, don't worry about pressure.
19:03Pressure?
19:04I eat it.
19:06Says Shadul Takor.
19:07Picks up four off the first.
19:09Yeah.
19:11Oh, yes.
19:13One side.
19:14Then the other.
19:17Goes straight.
19:19Goes powerful.
19:20Shikadarwan will come round.
19:21Fatou Plessis will race back.
19:23And he's quick.
19:25And I think he's quick enough.
19:27Experience cricket from Fatou Plessis.
19:29Three hit.
19:30Last ball.
19:31Find the boundary.
19:32If it doesn't go to the boundary, we don't run.
19:37Swung.
19:38Straight.
19:38Powerful.
19:39Skids off the sides.
19:41Four runs.
19:42Swing for the bleachers, Shadul Takor.
