Holland to Shubham Ranjane, SIX, that's better from Ranjane. Very similar to the previous delivery - slower and short of length, Ranjane stays inside the line and smashes the pull backward of square. Can they reach 220?
18.4
Netravalkar to Shubham Ranjane, 2 runs, off-pace outside off, Ranjane cracks it towards sweeper cover and races back for the second

Netravalkar to Savage, SIX, smashed! This is a length delivery outside off, Savage moves across and gets under it, pumps it down the ground and clears the long-on fence comfortably. TSK need a few more of these..

Maxwell to Shubham Ranjane, FOUR, Maxwell is disappointed. But it was the wrong line from him - on middle and leg, Ranjane sits down and sweeps it behind square. No chance for Mukhtar to keep it in

Maxwell to Milind Kumar, out Caught&Bowled!! Nope, it works for Maxwell. He picks up his second and another set batter departs at the wrong time for TSK. Very similar to the previous delivery but was bowled with a scrambled seam, meaning there was a bit of extra bounce and Kumar could not middle the pull, the top-edge flies up and Maxwell runs towards mid-wicket, settles under and takes a good catch. Milind Kumar c and b Maxwell 31(18) [4s-2 6s-2]
17.3

Maxwell to Milind Kumar, SIX, monstrous! It was a gamble to bowl the 18th and so far it is not working for Maxwell. This is dragged short and Kumar is quick to pounce, rocks back and nails the pull way over deep mid-wicket
17.1
4
Maxwell to Savage, FOUR, neatly done! Drifting down leg, Savage does not do anything fancy, just uses the pace and laps it past short fine
16.3
W
Mitchell Owen to Ferreira, out Caught by Mukhtar Ahmed!! Excellent catch! Ferreira departs and it is once again Owen among the wickets. Third for him tonight and 8th overall this season. This was full and in the slot, Ferreira smashes it flat towards long-off and Mukhtar does a superb job. He first hangs on to the catch, then throws the ball up as the momentum was taking him over the rope and comes back in to complete the catch. Ferreira c Mukhtar Ahmed b Mitchell Owen 9(6) [6s-1]
16.2
6
Mitchell Owen to Ferreira, SIX, full and outside off, would have been a wide had Ferreira let go, but he goes reaching for it and gets enough bat on the lofted drive for the ball to sail over the deep extra cover fence
15.1
W
Maxwell to Stoinis, out Caught by Phillips!! This is a big wicket. Stoinis was looking good and was also set to unleash in the last 5 overs. But Maxwell has sent him packing. Flatter and fraction short, Stoinis makes room and smashes the pull flat towards long-on, Phillips comes in and hangs on reverse cup. But he was surprised by how quickly the ball came to him. Stoinis c Phillips b Maxwell 32(24) [4s-4 6s-1]

Netravalkar to Stoinis, FOUR, hammered! Full pitcher outside off, Stoinis shuffles across and drills it down the ground. No chance for long-off..
14
Holland to Stoinis, 1 run, off-pace delivery on leg, Stoinis tucks it to square leg and retains strike
13.3
4
Holland to Stoinis, FOUR, just over short third. The reverse sweep/swipe has been productive for Stoinis today. This was back of a length, he does not crouch down or anything, just laps towards short third and beats Netravalkar
12.4
4
Ravindra to Milind Kumar, FOUR, shot! This is the best of the lot. Quicker and fuller outside off, Kumar drives in front of square and gives the sweeper no chance. Rachin not happy with the fielder or his placement, Maxwell comes up and has a word with him
12.3
4
Ravindra to Milind Kumar, FOUR, flatter, shorter and outside off, Kumar slaps it in front of square and beats the diving cover fielder. No chance for the sweeper as well in the deep
12.2
6
Ravindra to Milind Kumar, SIX, that's better. Flighted outside off, Kumar had the width and he decides to fetch the slog sweep, nails it for a 89-meter six over long-on. He needs to kick-on here for TSK
11.1
4
Maxwell to Stoinis, FOUR, shot! Flighted delivery, bit too full and Stoinis gets under, reverse sweeps it over backward point. The two Aussies share a friendly banter after that, it might be that Stoinis is giving Maxwell a doze of his own medicine
10.5
W
Mitchell Owen to du Plessis, out Caught by Ravindra!! Owen strikes again! He has this knack of picking wickets. Broke the opening stand in his first over, now comes back and removes the dangerous Faf. Fuller and outside off, seemed to be pace off, Faf has to reach for the lofted shot and all he does is toe-end it straight up, Rachin runs in from long-off and takes a good catch. This is a massive moment in the game.. There are still close to 9 overs to go and TSK have lost their set batter. du Plessis c Ravindra b Mitchell Owen 69(31) [4s-8 6s-4]
9.2
4
Ravindra to Stoinis, FOUR, shot! Quicker and sliding in, Stoinis reverse swipes it over backward point. He premeditated that Rachin will bowl faster and was quickly into position to play that shot
8.5
4
Jack Edwards to du Plessis, FOUR, he's toying with Edwards. Very full delivery outside off, Faf opens the bat face and slices the drive square of the wicket. There was a deep backward point and deep extra cover, he split them perfectly
8.4
4
Jack Edwards to du Plessis, FOUR, Faf continues to motor along.. This is a poor delivery - full and outside off, ample space for Faf to free his hands and he pumps it over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes
8.3
6
Jack Edwards to du Plessis, SIX, slower short of length delivery, Faf delays his bat swing and nails the pull over deep mid-wicket. That was a massive hit as the ball bounces outside the ground. 93-meter maximum..
8.1
F
Jack Edwards to du Plessis, 1 run, dropped! Tough chance and it is not held on. But it is fifty for Faf. Fraction short and width on offer, slashed towards backward point and the fielder flies to his left, gets both hands and can't hang on. That would have been a screamer and surely a contender for catch of the tournament
7.2
6
Ravindra to Stoinis, SIX, teaser for Phillips but the ball clears him. Intent from Stoinis first up. He comes down the track, does not quite get to the pitch but still goes through with the loft. He hits it against the wind and that kept Phillips interested near long-on, but the ball just manages to evade his leap
7.1
W
Ravindra to Saiteja Mukkamalla, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Rachin strikes with his first ball. This is a top delivery. Flighted from round the wicket, drifts in and Mukkamalla makes room, the length was not there for the drive so he was settling into the forward block but the ball straightened, beat the outside edge and crashed into leg-stump. Just a hint of turn and that brought about Mukkamalla's downfall. Saiteja Mukkamalla b Ravindra 6(8)
6.5
6
Forde to du Plessis, SIX, thumped! Length delivery and Faf does not miss out, he picks it from the off-stump line and lofts down the ground. Got it right off the middle and the ball sails over long-on
6.2
4
Forde to du Plessis, FOUR, short and wide outside off, again width on offer and Faf cashes in, he stands tall and slaps it over wide mid-off

Mitchell Owen to du Plessis, FOUR, Faf ends the over with a boundary. Fuller and outside off, there was width on offer and Faf does not miss out, he smashes it over mid-off and almost sends it the distance
4.4
W
Mitchell Owen to Smit Patel, out Caught by Pienaar!! Owen has the last say. But Patel has done his job. He has gotten the Super Kings off to a flying start. Scrambled seam delivery, the length is slightly pulled back than the previous three deliveries, Patel goes hard on the drive and gets a thick outside edge, the ball flies to short third and Pienaar hangs on to a sharp catch. Smit Patel c Pienaar b Mitchell Owen 24(15) [4s-2 6s-2]

Mitchell Owen to Smit Patel, FOUR, lovely shot! Owen keeps pitching 'em up, the line is outside off and Patel creams the drive in front of square. There are two fielders near the cover region and he split them perfectly
4.2
6
Mitchell Owen to Smit Patel, SIX, back to back sixes. Once again Owen goes full and around off, Patel heaves it over mid-wicket and this was not as sweetly struck as the previous one but enough to clear the rope
4.1
6
Mitchell Owen to Smit Patel, SIX, Owen too greeted with a maximum. Patel gets into the act now. Fullish delivery on off, Patel swings through the line and sends the ball sailing for a 90-meter six over wide long-on

Jack Edwards to du Plessis, FOUR, massive over, 16 runs. Not quite off the middle but Faf gets it in the gap. Slanted it and the ball is on a length, Faf swings across the line and gets it over mid-wicket
3.4

Jack Edwards to du Plessis, FOUR, nicely done! Premeditated the lap and Edwards went for the slower ball, but Faf adjusted quickly and delayed his shot, got it over short fine and the ball raced away
3.1

Jack Edwards to du Plessis, SIX, Edwards welcomed with a six. Length delivery, right in the arc and Faf is not going to miss out, he heaves it into the leg-side and the ball sails over wide long-on
2.2
6
Netravalkar to du Plessis, SIX, bang! Once again he stays on leg-stump, clears his front leg and swings through the line. This was a fuller delivery and Faf lofts it over mid-on, clearing the rope comfortably
2.1

Netravalkar to du Plessis, FOUR, glorious! Fuller and angled across, Faf stays leg-side and gives himself the space to free his hands, creams the drive in front of square and well wide of Maxwell at mid-off
1.1

Forde to Smit Patel, FOUR, Forde greeted with a boundary. Full and swinging in, ends up on the pads and Patel flicks it in front of square. No one in the deep out there to make the stop

Netravalkar to du Plessis, FOUR, Faf is off and running. Fraction short and around off, Faf hangs back and punches it in front of square. The outfield seems slow as the ball slowed down as it reached the rope
